Warrandyte’s own social enterprise not-for-profit community cafe

Our mission is LOVE! We are committed to loving all people with a specific focus on supporting people doing it tough

This is us!

Founded in 2014 by a passionate group of people who believed the answer to poverty isn’t money—it’s community, Now and Not Yet has become a much-loved part of the Warrandyte landscape. But we’re more than just a café. We are a vibrant social enterprise where every coffee poured, every meal shared, and every conversation had helps create meaningful change in our community and beyond.

We serve up delicious, seasonal food, house-made treats, and our signature Social Brew coffee in a warm, welcoming space that feels like home. But what truly sets us apart is what happens beyond the food. Every dollar spent at Now and Not Yet goes directly back into supporting people seeking asylum, those facing homelessness, and others doing it tough. Whether it’s through employment opportunities, housing support, or simply offering a place where everyone is seen, heard, and valued—this is food with purpose.

At Now and Not Yet, you’re never just a customer. You’re part of a movement that believes community, hospitality, and justice can—and should—go hand in hand.
