02.01.2022 So great to be working with our daughter Sabrina! Welcome to Quilpie!!!! No matter how old they are, it's still difficult when you live so far from each other. I'm sure there are Mum's and Dad's that can relate? The last time she was in the cafe was when she was 3 years old!! I know some of you will remember. Her experience, work ethic and her attention to detail compliments the Empire Cafe Team. We might not be perfect, but we all get the job done. Thank you to all our sta...ff. I can almost feel Dad and how proud he must be too. Eventho the name has changed, it feels a bit nostalgic to me. So very moving to hear the stories from customers about their experience with Dad and the cafe. "The good, the bad and the ugly". (Quote from one of his favourite movies). It still chokes me up when people say "he would be proud". Interestingly, even some tourists have stories from their last visit, whether it was a year ago or 12 years ago. All have said they will be back again. :) Covid has put a spanner in the works and has been a challenging time for everyone, but we are very grateful to the local community for your support. Without you, we are nothing. Thank you.
