During lockdown it’s nice to be able to enjoy the little things – and it’s the little things that Lisa, owner and barista at Brewed Up Kombi, is so good at.
While lockdown means that Lisa is unable to take her bright orange van to markets and sporting events, she has continued to park up at Pearcedale Community Centre during the week to deliver those delicious shots of caffeine goodness.
She said she’s been fairly busy too, with residents and passers-by stopping in for a socially-distanced, Covid-safe takeaway drink.
“I think people like the fact that they can get out and have a quick chat while I make a coffee, and have something they like,” Lisa said.
She loves putting smiles on her customers’ faces and said hearing their compliments and the way her drinks lift their spirits makes her day too.
Lisa set up Brewed Up Kombi in November 2020, after Covid drove her to follow her dreams.
“I’ve always loved making coffees,” she said.
“As scary as it was [to set up], I love it – it’s the best thing I’ve ever done, I’m really happy.”
She stays positive during her visits to Pearcedale, and said she’s glad she can keep pumping out her customers’ favourite brews.
“Everyone needs that little bit of something. I try to be upbeat and fun, I think it helps.
“Everyone who stops in is the most amazing customer I’ve ever met. I’m thankful,” Lisa said.
