A Harry Potter-themed cafe and emporium will open in Slacks Creek on the weekend, just in time for the fictional lead character’s birthday on Saturday.
Gabriel and Shaun Fuller hope to work a bit of magic when they open the doors to their Cauldrons Cafe and Emporium, one of only four Potteresque-themed outlets in the country.
The Harry Potter Store of Requirements opened in Samford in 2017 and there are similar-styled outlets in Sydney and Canberra.
The Fullers have created a spectacular wonderful world of wizardry in the converted store off the side of the Pacific Highway.
The emporium is a dream come true for Gabriel Fuller who fell in love with Harry Potter after reading the J.K Rowling books in his twenties, before enchanting his husband Shaun with the spellbinding saga.
The pair have had a roaring trade with Potter merchandise, toys, books and apparel at the Carrara Weekend Markets, where they became a “must-see” stall.
“We know people love Harry Potter and we have gone to the end of the world to make sure this is an eye-opener with olde world furniture, eclectic fittings and our old-style lanterns,” Gabe said.
“We are starting out slowly but we have consolidated the business and moved from Carrara to Slacks Creek.
“Kids will love it here — we even have a rare Nimbus 2000 for sale which not many people have seen up close.
“It’s a lot of fun here and we cater to all walks from seven years to seventy years – anyone who loves the Harry Potter fantasy will get a real kick out of the emporium.”
After pulling back the drapes and stepping across the threshold, Potter fans can indulge in different coffee potions and brews, a Potter of Tea, or a delicious Muggle Muffin or a chocolate Halloween slice and, of course, treacle tarts.
There are plans to one day add alcoholic brews to the menu, for those who feel like a butter beer.
The emporium also stocks a range of merchandise including wand sets, Pop Vinyl collectables, Noble Collection items and costumes.
WHERE: Cauldrons Cafe and Emporium opens at 3325 Pacific Highway, Slacks Creek, next to the Christmas Shack.
WHEN: Opening hours: 9am to 5pm
