A dream come true



After more than 25 years working in hospitality, owner Michele McKenzie finally took the plunge and opened her own café — a dream long in the making. Named after her daughter, the café holds a special place in her heart, with a Spanish flair woven into the menu to honour her children’s heritage.

Serving an all-day breakfast built on café classics, prepared simply and with genuine care, alongside a menu that’s both comforting and inviting. The coffee is a custom Spanish Roast blend from Great Divide Coffee, perfectly paired with the freshness of St David Dairy milk.

What makes it all truly special is the loyal local customer base and the joy of welcoming new visitors to our eclectic town, filled with passionate, owner-operated businesses Alba Paloma is proud to be part of.
