Community coffee - The Cart
A socially inclusive coffee hub, at which people from within the wonderfully diverse community that is the New Farm peninsula can come together over an excellent cup of coffee.
The New Farm Neighbourhood Centre has always provided a welcoming and relaxing place for people to meet and tap into local support services. The Cart Community Coffee extends that welcome by providing somewhere where people can pass time with friends in a safe and relaxing environment. It also creates employment opportunities for those without work by training them to work as baristas.
Neighbours, commuters, passers-by and other members of the community are invited to stop and share a coffee in the gardens or to pick up a take-away on their way past.
When you buy a cup of coffee you have the choice of spending a little extra to pay a coffee forward for someone who is unable to buy one.
Opening hours
The Cart is open every day 6am-12pm, New Farm Neighbourhood Centre, 967 Brunswick St New Farm.
The Cart Community Coffee is an initiative of the Patrons of New Farm and made possible with the generous support of Merlo Coffee and Communify.

We understand that the hiring fees for our community spaces may pose a challenge to implementing your program.

We are always willing to work with you to find solutions that benefit the community.
To ensure the safety and protection of all parties involved, it is required that hirers have their own Public Liability Insurance when booking a venue at Communify. This insurance covers any claims of personal injury or property damage caused by any business or personal activities during your time at our community spaces.
When booking a venue with us, hirers are required to have Public Liability Insurance for at least $10,000,000, and provide documentation of this insurance to Communify at the time of registration. Failure to comply with this requirement may result in the immediate termination of your booking.
It is important that hirers keep their Public Liability Insurance up to date and provide Communify with updated renewals if they are regular hirers. The insurance must be under the name of the person or company booking the venue, or if booking as part of an organisation, the insurance must be in the name of that organisation.
If you are unsure about how to obtain Public Liability Insurance, we recommend that you contact an insurance provider or broker.
To schedule an inspection of our venues, please contact our team with three preferred dates and times that are suitable for you. Please also specify the venue you wish to inspect.

Please note that to inspect most of our Communify spaces, you will require an access card which can be obtained during our office hours (Monday to Friday, 8.30am – 4.30pm) at 180 Jubilee Terrace, Bardon.

Please refer to the entry instructions on the individual venue pages for more information. If the venue’s entry instructions include a PIN code, we will provide this to you prior to the inspection.
Rest assured that we will notify the security company of the scheduled date and time of your inspection.
