Meet the Owners
In 2007 Lisa Prager & Verity George bought an old run down house with a shop front and transformed it into a groovy neighbourhood espresso lounge that opened in August of that year.
It wasn’t pre-planned, the two of them have been together producing events of all shapes and sizes for the last 14 years, so they decided to produce their own “happening”.
Verity has been in hospitality for 30 years – starting out at the Waiatarua Tearooms, then Craig Miller taught her to make coffee at Not Another Roadside Attraction in Grafton and Chris Priestly introduced her to the caffeine tremors at Kerouac in Vulcan Lane.
An actress, a writer, a stylist, and a civil union celebrant Verity is your consumate hostess.
Lisa is widely known as “the political activist in the cowboy hat” and not so well known as a bloody fantastic artist - see her 5 piece canvas, painted in 1989, hung at Garnet Station. She is a filmmaker, an event producer, a graphic designer and a home decorator who looks great in a tool belt.
