"Awesome" was the reaction from cafe owner Matthew Schnitzerling when told readers had listed them number one in the Tweed Daily's voting poll.

Schnitzerling and business partner Nathan Bultitude were both keen to set up a cafe and when the issue of a name arose the men decided with its retro fit-out the cafe would be a fitting tribute to their grandmothers Dulcie and Edna.

"We both love our grandma's" Schnitzerling said.

 

Dulcie & Edna was voted the region's best coffee by Tweed Daily News readers.

Schnitzerling said the secret to their great coffee was having a good roaster, good training and consistency.

"We have a really good roaster in Brisbane, Parallel Roasters, and consistency," he said.

"Everything is looked at, we weigh everything. It's just being patient and putting love into what we do.

"All the staff are trained to do all things consistently and we use Norco milk. It's a great local milk."

Schnitzerling said COVID-19 restrictions had delivered the new business owners a stressful time but they had remained open with take away and were now back to capacity.

"We've had a lot of community support," he said.
