HYMN COFFEE 24/99 KENNEDY DRIVE
It’s nice to hear a Hapi hospitality story. Hymn owners Kaycee and Kelly Hapi have been going great guns in their slick Kennedy Drive cafe in their first six months of opening. “We’ve had great support,” Kaycee says. “There’s a wide demographic in the Tweed and we’ve tried to offer a bit of something for everyone.” Hymn’s cafe menu pays homage to the seasonal, local approach underpinned by serious coffee. “By far the most popular menu item is our bacon and egg hawker, served with a roti flatbread with the house apple-based barbecue sauce, crispy onion, greens and our condensed milk mayo,” Kaycee says. “We’ve also got buttermilk hot cakes on for winter with banana, maple, walnuts, almonds and whipped vanilla marscapone.” Kaycee and Kelly are enjoying the Tweed and have plans to extend their 40-seat cafe into the outdoors when the time is right. “We’ll concentrate on getting everything right with this first,” Kaycee says. “But it’s all going well. We’re super excited.”
