Footscray has many restaurants; however we could not find a nice place for dessert after our dinner and of course could not find anywhere that open late on Friday or Saturday night for a cup of tea. This had made us think of something different here; let’s have a coffee and sweets here that open late on weekend, a quiet place where we can enjoy a cup of hot tea, tastes a beautiful handmade choloclate, or enjoy the aroma of Jasper Arabica blend. <br /><br />Is there a need? We believe there is and we will bring a different atmosphere to this place, which used to be known as Royal hotel, a new beautiful ambience to make the place never die….and to those who once fell in love with the hotel are not disappointed with a pretty café now.<br /><br />Before it is our business, it is our passion to make a beautiful cup of coffee and tea. We enjoy making and serving others the best we can. Every cup of drink we make is our joy to share to others and wish them well. A little sweet, yes why not bringing the best quality to Footscray, Tim and I have selected our chocolates and tea from the best or known to be one of the best…. and not only to have here but also products are available to buy to take home.<br />Tim and I would like to thank our friends and relatives who have supported us in different ways to make my dream come true, a little message, a few line of emails to congratulate us, to encourage us…And now our locals, our customers, Footscray Food Blog have given Tim&Jane Coffee Chocolate Tea some credentials. Your Worth of Mouth has made Tim&Jane café a difference. Since the post was on the blog, our sales have increased. All have made us feel privileged; we now have a little gem in the heart of Footscray. Our success will not be there without your support. <br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />Jane from<br /><br />Tim&Jane Coffee Chocolate TeaTim&Jane Coffee Chocolate Teanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2166641060916490585.post-7013239725263824942012-11-17T16:35:22.396+11:002012-11-17T16:35:22.396+11:00Banh khot is food of the gods.

But also a pity there aren't more pubs in Footscray to fill that niche. I worry sometimes about where all the old blokes who just want a pot of Carlton will end up, with all the pubs being turned into shops or apartments. Anyway, I reckon my mum will love going to Tim and Jane's when she's in town; she struggles with the lack of places for 'coffee and cake' in Footscray.Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02766039954960430109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2166641060916490585.post-10001672269409878212012-11-16T12:19:50.599+11:002012-11-16T12:19:50.599+11:00Anon, I definitely see where you're coming fro...Anon, I definitely see where you're coming from. Loved the old Royal stories! <br /><br />I must say I do like the new beauty salon, Forever Young. It's a step up from the bit down n' out other salons in Footscray central - they actually make an eyebrow wax feel like a bit of a spa experience with lovely music and treatment room. It's owned by a fellow kindy mum, Anna, who is really lovely.Lauren aka Ms Bakloverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08540872180823771651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2166641060916490585.post-9024323985720349402012-11-16T10:08:04.643+11:002012-11-16T10:08:04.643+11:00The Royal was a huge loss to Footscray and, beside...The Royal was a huge loss to Footscray and, besides this cafe, it's been replaced by yet more beauty salons, real estate agents and the like. Tim and Jane's is not really my cup of tea (pun intended) but at least it's unique in Footscray and the owners seem to be passionate about their business. <br /><br />As for the Royal, it was a relatively civilsed place to go for a drink and the fat, juicy parmas were up there with the best in Melbourne. There was a good trivia night once a fortnight or so and a a dozen TV screens for sport lovers, although it wasn't dominated by the TVs due to the size of the pub. There was also a beer garden of sorts - the roof in the back section could be opened up on warm days. A wide cross section of Footscray could be found there at any time, and i never saw any trouble when I was there.<br /><br />Apparently, up to around 10 years ago it was quite a rough old boozer. Sadly, a barman was killed breaking up a bar fight between two middle aged drunks wielding pool cues and sometime after it was renovated. Those were the days when Footscray was somewhat more seedier than today, to put it lightly!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
