Cliffy's Emporium is on the lookout for two new team members.

One skilful, coffee-loving barista.
One friendly, proactive waiter.

We are a Daylesford institution. Country charm, shelves full of local produce and a La Marzocco humming from dawn till late lunch. If you know how to make people feel welcome and take pride in your work, you will fit right in.

Positions are available casual or permanent part-time.

Easter Sunday in Daylesford and the town is quite abuzz, with the Sunday Market just up the road drawing visitors far and wide.

Cliffy’s is humming along nicely today. There may be a short wait for a table, but we promise it’s well worth it. While you’re waiting, José is keeping good company with a little piano accordion.

Do wander down when you can. We’d be very glad to see you

Open all Easter long weekend, Good Friday through to Easter Monday.

Our windows are beautifully hand-painted this year thanks to the talented Nat from Chalky Signs – well worth a look. Cliffy’s Emporium. Always something worth finding.

We’re thrilled to introduce our new Head of Atmospheric Conditions, Cliffy’s Emporium’s most important hire to date.
After years of quietly suffering through suboptimal crema caused by the microclimate at the corner of Wombat St, we’ve finally done something about it. Jim joins us from the Bureau of Meteorology, where they spent 17 years forecasting conditions across regional Victoria.
They will be responsible for monitoring barometric pressure, humidity, and the specific wind interference pattern that comes off the lake and ruins a perfectly good espresso extraction.
We take your flat white seriously.
Welcome aboard. 🌦️☕

THANK YOU.

A big thank you to everyone pictured here – and the many who aren’t – who helped bring Cliffy’s at Christmas to life.

Just over a week on, we’re still riding the high of what our community pulled together. Between the Christmas fundraiser at Cliffy’s and the Daylesford Hotel’s Friday night community raffles throughout December, a total of $42,528 has now been raised for our local Country Fire Authority brigades. Of that, $37,428 came from Christmas at Cliffy’s alone.

Volunteers turned up before most of the town was awake, gave up part of their Christmas morning, and quietly got on with the job. Coffee machines humming, BBQs firing, raffle tickets moving fast, queues managed with patience and good humour. It all ran because people stepped forward and looked after one another.

To our CFA volunteers, thank you for the work you do year-round to protect our region. Being able to support you in this way is something we’re incredibly proud of.

To everyone who volunteered, donated prizes, bought tickets, grabbed a coffee, or cheered us on from the sidelines – this was a genuine community effort, and it wouldn’t exist without you.

(The biggest thank you to Chris from Ïnkdfotōgrfa who also donates his time and photography each year for us to treasure this special morning)
