our story
Sam and Linda Barripp (owners and operators)
We always wanted to try our hand at owning a cafe, however never thought seriously about it, as Sam had a fulfilling and ‘safe’ career at Qantas. Enter “Covid” in March 2020, and things changed dramatically. Overnight, the aviation industry and Sam’s 30+ year career as an International Onboard Manager, was over.
As the saying goes, “One door closes and another one opens”, we decided to put the Cafe idea into practise.
Sam and Linda come to The Chocolaterie Cafe with a combined 60 years in service excellence (Linda also enjoying a 28 year career with Qantas). Having travelled extensively around Australia and the World, our experiences have highlighted the importance of customer interaction that makes beneficial and lasting impressions. We are dedicated to making a positive difference to all who walk through our door and our community at large.
So here we are. Woohoo.
We acknowledge the traditional custodians of this land, and the culture and spirit held within Country, paying our deep respect to the ancestors and Elders, past and present.
We are committed to honouring Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people’s unique cultural and spiritual relationships to the land, waters, seas and community and their rich contribution to society.
