AFTER years of working in other people’s kitchens a Port Douglas couple is fulfilling a dream by opening a hip new cafe in Holloways Beach.
Chef Althea Moos and barista Daniel Williams have teamed up to present a Palm Springs-in-the-tropics-inspired cafe serving breakfast and lunch.
Two Blocks, serving fresh and healthy meals made entirely in-house, will begin its first day of trade next week.
The dog and vegan friendly cafe will focus on fresh homebaked cakes, slices, croissants, pastries and modern brunch menu.

“And we are also going to be offering a grab-and-go style menu. For people in a rush we will be open form 6.30am so they can grab some food on the way to work and some really nice coffee from Blackbird,” Mr Williams said.
Ms Moos, originally from South Africa, worked in both big commercial kitchens and popular inner-city Melbourne restaurants before she made the move to work in a Port Douglas resort five years ago.

The progressive and modern minimalist styled cafe on the corner of Oleander and Bamboo Sts will begin trading on Monday, August 26.
