Miss grabbing your morning coffee from your local each day, or catching up with friends on the weekends at that place that does the most Instagram-worthy, delicious brunch? How about not being able to treat yourself to those epic cinnamon scrolls from that laneway's hole-in-the-wall shop, or simply sitting down for a bite to eat with the paper, and reading something else in the news other than the latest on COVID-19? If you're just as keen as we are to head back to your favourite city centre eatery when our alert levels drop, then check out this awesome way to show your support now, to help make sure they're still around when we come out the other side.
The SOS Cafe website is a platform all about supporting small businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic, by letting you buy a voucher now, to redeem from your local later. Simply filter by café or eatery and location, and buy a voucher for either $5, $25, or $100 to redeem when possible. Alternatively, if you'd just like to donate to support the business rather than buy a voucher to redeem, you can do that too. See below the participating cafés and eateries from the city centre you can help today.
