Espresso among antiques
A CHARMING blend of nostalgia, coffee, and community spirit has arrived on Archer Street with the opening of The Little Antique Pantry, a boutique family-run business combining a coffee shop with quirky antiques and refurbished treasures.
In just its first week, owners Jason and Vicky said they’ve been overwhelmed by the warm welcome from locals.
“The support and excitement from the community has been far more than we could have imagined,” they said.
The Kilcoy-based family had long dreamed of one day running a small business in their later years, filled with a mix of old, renewed, and refurbished furniture, homewares, collectables — all served alongside quality coffee and sweet treats.
That dream came sooner than expected when they spotted a handwritten sign at 69A Archer Street.
“We looked through the window and thought, how cute and from there, our dream became reality.”
After five months of renovations that kept locals guessing, the shop opened its doors on August 4.
Customers are greeted by the aroma of roasted coffee and the sight of eclectic vintage pieces. They can browse at leisure while settling into a cosy corner with a drink and treat.
Jason and Vicky are longtime “treasure hunters,” taking weekend drives in search of unusual and character-filled items. That love for unique finds is woven into every corner of the shop.
Their son Cooper, a barista with two years’ experience, is friendly and enthusiastic, with hopes of running the business himself one day.
Make sure to grab a cuppa, browse vintage!
Open Monday to Friday 6 am–3 pm (Thursday until 2 pm), Saturday 8 am–2 pm, and closed Sundays.
