New cafe starts

 

A new café commenced operation on St Johns Corner, Woy Woy, on January 10.

Trading as La'Bell, the business is owned by Lyn Heggie and Jacqueline Purkiss.

They serve light lunches and afternoon tea and are particularly proud of their gourmet cakes.

Situated on the corner of Blackwall and Victoria Rd, the shop front is set well back from the street alignment and provides an alfresco dining area under shade on the footpath.

Lyn has lived on the Peninsula for 12 months and has in the past worked in family-owned businesses.

She is now pleased to have her own business in the hospitality industry.

"We have had a great deal of positive feedback in the short time we've been open," Ms Purkiss said.

"We've also been pleased with the assistance we've had from council and our landlord Mr Tony Altavilla."

The café operates in conjunction with Labels dress shop next door and the owners believe the two businesses are complementary.

The business trades from 8am for breakfast till 5pm each day.
