A lot of places claim to be kid friendly, but some places have it down to a fine art. Gathering Co. is firmly in the latter category with a fully fenced playground. Hidden along Greenwich Court in Robina, at the entrance of Newlife Church, the independently operated venue has given the old cafe space a new lease on life, with a new fit-out, a new team and a fresh new menu. The morning menu meanders from small bites such as toast and daily pastries to hearty fetta scrambled eggs, blueberry and lemon French toast and a seriously decadent buttermilk fried-chicken Benne with spicy sriracha hollandaise. From midday, the lunch menu offers some equally as enticing options, with a fried-chicken burger, classic club sandwich and corn fritters. There’s also a kid-friendly menu featuring waffles with vanilla ice-cream, bacon and eggs as well as a kids burger with fries. When it comes to the drinks, patrons can sip on cold-pressed juices from Hrvst St, coffee from Parallel Roasters which is available through the espresso machine or as filter, alongside iced-matcha lattes and specialty tea such as sticky chai.
