New owners for the Old Bank Cafe I

F YOU HAVEN'T BEEN in lately - the Old Bank Cafe is under new management and it’s looking good!

Sandeep Kamboj and his business partner, Vineet Manot, have been hard at work for the last five months and getting a feel for the lovely Maleny town.

"Vineet owns two other businesses and is the behind-the-scenes guru handling the books. I am the head chef and I take care of the day-to day-operations" Sandeep is excited by his relocation and business acquisition and why wouldn’t he be? 27 and already operating his very own business. He was previously working in a bistro in Brisbane, for someone else.

"Maleny is a good place to live and work as well. Everyone loves Maleny and these views. People really support the locals."

Since they opened, Sandeep says they have altered "bits and pieces" within the restaurant to create an open and welcoming atmosphere. The space feels re-energised.

“We would love people to utilise the space for meetings and all types of

functions - artistic, political, social… Oh, and we have free wifi! “ says Sandeep.

“We are in awe of the strength of our Maleny community and want to be part of it.”

They have just hired a new manager, Nick, who is “great on the bar” and makes a delicious coffee. He established ‘Baha’ on the Mornington Peninsula, a traditional mexican and live music venue, with his family eight years ago.

Sandeep is excited by this new chapter, "It is good to bring my own cooking and experience to my own cafe. We are planning to bring back the taco night soon! Plus live music starts this week."

Another positive is the scrumptious breakfast on offer, seven days a week.

Dinner is also available from Wednesday through to Saturday, with a very creative, brand spanking new menu underconstruction, modern cocktails and craft beers. Their wine list was developed with the help of a local sommelier.

So, if anyone out there needs help or a space for a community project, please call the Old Bank Cafe on 5435 2362.

Maudy's are planning a big treat for the Mums!

Sam Kulkarni says he and his partner Ron Coxhell are back and smiling after their holidays - enjoying the views from Maudy's verandah @ 466 Maleny-Kenilworth Road in Witta.

UPPORTING THE YOUTH in our community has been something Montville Coffee has been involved in for over 15 years.

Through social enterprise, they have offered Barista Scholarships.

"This year we are hoping to expand the scope of the Barista Scholarship Program that we have offered to six young people each year, for over ten years."

With the support of Maleny Neighbourhood Centre, Barung Landcare, Hinterland Times, Totally Delicious and the Maleny Chamber of Commerce, for the 2015 scholarships there will be ten recipients.

Richard says, “It's our way of giving back to the community and helping the youth. We've had our own children go through barista courses. We know how important it is to have hospitality skills. Sometimes it's the only avenue to find work, especially on the range."

Jacob Carroll was one of the first baristas trained through the program.

"I trained 11 years ago. The early learning was great. I jumped straight into a café and knew how to make a fantastic coffee. It makes for better confidence."

Richard agrees, "The students are very green in making coffees. It is great seeing them develop - they become so much more confident. Jacob now works for us."

Jacob jokes that he calls himself a ‘coffee consultant’, and he will be training this years' scholarship recipients.

"The Neighbourhood Centre are collaborating with us to select the young recipients in our community who will most benefit from a barista Training and Mentoring Scholarship," Richard continues.

“The scholars complete training in Montville and are then required to complete industry work experience, which takes place at the Maleny Wood Expo.”

Montville Coffee have a stall at the Expo and, for the first time this year, more trainee positions will be supported at the Barung Landcare stall and Totally Delicious stall (run by Mark Inch).

Contact Montville Coffee to find out more: (07) 5478 5585.

Trainer Jacob Carroll, Richard and Sam Barnett from Montville Coffee welcome support by Heatley Gilmore at the Hinterland Times to help more youth on the range HINTERLAND TIMES – APRIL 2015
