Join us as we witness the incredible makeover of the Coramba General Store into the vibrant "The General Coramba"! Meet the passionate new owner, Avril, as she shares her vision for this beloved local space, from fresh renovations to a focus on delicious pastries, baked goods, and, of course, fantastic coffee.
In this exciting video, we team up with Avril, the enthusiastic new owner of what was the Coramba General Store. Now rebranded as The General Coramba, Avril has big dreams for this charming location nestled in the beautiful hinterland of the Coffs Coast, New South Wales, Australia.
Get a behind-the-scenes look at the renovation journey, as Avril walks us through her plans to revitalize the space. We discuss everything from the fresh exterior facelift with its calming sage green palette to the bright and welcoming interior redesign, featuring sanded floors and lighter, more inviting furniture.
But for us coffee aficionados, the real excitement lies in the coffee bar transformation! We delve into Avril's vision for the coffee setup and offer our expert advice on workflow and layout to ensure a smooth and efficient experience for both staff and customers. Say goodbye to clutter and hello to a streamlined coffee station, complete with top-notch equipment.
Witness the progress! We take you through the initial stages of the renovation, showcasing the painting, signage updates, and the beginnings of the interior refresh. You'll see the space start to breathe new life as Avril's vision takes shape.
The Grand Opening is HERE! Finally, we revisit The General Coramba after its highly anticipated reopening. See the stunning transformation firsthand – the bright and fresh atmosphere, the inviting new furniture, and the beautifully organized coffee bar featuring a shiny new La Marzocco Linea Classic S espresso machine and a Mahlkonig E65s grinder!
