Hunter and Ruby Café: A Story of Love, Adventure, and Giving Back
Nestled in the serene Flat Rock Tent Park, just steps away from the Ballina to Lennox bike and running track and a mere 40 meters from the beach, Hunter and Ruby Café isn’t just a place to grab a coffee—it’s a heartwarming story brought to life. This charming coastal café pays homage to two very special souls: Hunter and Ruby, a pair of rescued huskies who shared 15 beautiful years of love, loyalty, and adventure with their owners.
A Legacy of Love
Hunter and Ruby were more than pets; they were family. They were companions who trekked through forests, splashed in the ocean, and snoozed under starlit skies. When they passed, their owners decided to honor their memory by creating something meaningful—a place where the warmth and kindness their huskies exuded could live on. Thus, Hunter and Ruby Café was born.
A Commitment to Community
At Hunter and Ruby Café, every cup of coffee and every bite of food tells a story. The café proudly serves only locally roasted Bun Coffee, a brand synonymous with sustainability and quality. Supporting local businesses is part of the café’s mission to strengthen community bonds and highlight the rich flavors of the region.
But their mission doesn’t stop there. As a tribute to Hunter and Ruby’s enduring legacy, 10% of the café’s profits are donated to animal rescues and veterinary hospitals. With every purchase, customers contribute to life-saving efforts for animals in need, ensuring that the love Hunter and Ruby brought to their owners continues to ripple outward.
