A hip new place with world class specialty coffee with an Aussie flare. Tasty beverages, delicious food and fresh pastries served with passion and precision.

Sorry for my voice, I’m in a lot of pain. 😕

As an Australian-Canadian citizen, I am torn and shocked to have awoken from surgery to receive a demand for destruction of our entire supply of our iconic Aussie Vegemite claiming “non-compliance” citing concerns due to added B Vitamins.

Despite Amazon and major grocery stores continuing to profit of the sale of Vegemite and similar products like Marmite, for some reason, our genuinely Australian/Canadian coffee shops offering a healthy slice of home away from home, is seemingly worth targeting. 

I don’t expect Canadians to care about Vegemite, I know it’s an acquired taste 😜, but the principle and double standard doesn’t make sense to me… and it doesn’t seem right.

As someone born with a Birth Defect, this is deeply personal. Vegemite is high in B Vitamins and Folate, that helps minimise the likelihood of babies being born with conditions like mine and living through the pain my family and I have throughout out my life so far.

We’ve issued a Press Release and we just want to share our story to whomever will listen. Sadly I don’t have any media contacts or whatever, but I’m hoping someone knows someone in Canada or Australia who would maybe help us encourage logic to prevail.

If you’re willing to help, please share or tag anyone who you may think would be interested in our story.

Even if we are unsuccessful and we can’t get Vegemite back, at least we went down trying. Thanks for listening.
