FROM the moment you walk into the Feather and Twine, you’ll love its beautiful decor, stunning views, friendly staff and impressive coffee.
Offering an ever-changing collection of French provincial and industrial furniture, home decor and giftware at an affordable price, the unique Healesville business recently added a cafe to its list of services.
With coffee specially roasted for the Feather and Twine by Three Wise Monkeys and a delicious range of cakes and sweets, the cafe is already proving a favourite among locals and visitors to the area.
As well as gluten-free options, it also offers light breakfast and lunch options, featuring products from the Yarra Valley.
The Feather and Twine is unique to Healesville, combining a sophisticated yet relaxed atmosphere. Guests can enjoy a coffee while soaking up the glorious views from the upper deck or peruse the beautiful pieces in the store.
Owner Anna says that Feather and Twine is a concept store derived from multiple online stores that have been operating successfully over the past six years.
“We sell a wide variety of items, from kitchen canisters and coasters through to cabinets and sofas. You can even purchase the beautiful range of cups we use in our cafe” she said.
“We want every customer to experience fantastic good old-fashioned customer service – the way it should be.”
The Healesville store is located in the historical Rathbone House, which was built in 1886 – two years after the town was established in 1864.
As well as breathtaking views and unique decor, the Feather and Twine offers unbeatable coffee. Clara, the cafe’s head barista, has been working with specialty coffees for over 12 years.
Those who haven’t tried the coffee before may not want to drink away the exquisite and award-winning art that features on the tops of lattes. Anna has an eye for detail and a talent for sourcing the latest products for your home and is up to date with upcoming trends in decor.
The Feather and Twine combines the eclectic feel of an urban inner city cafe with the views, service and charm of rural life. Come in, meet the friendly staff and experience the unique vibe of the cafe and store located at 206 Maroondah Highway, Healesville.
Opening hours are Tuesday-Sunday 9am-4pm. For more information, contact info@featherandtwine.com.au or call 5962 2500.
