JACKSON invasion



So I admit it, I haven't exactly kept up my end of the deal with the whole weekly blog post thing.. Let's just say it was a tad unrealistic. 

Anyway, for those that don't know - I have been assisting Annie & Peter O'Brien in the launch of their new & exciting JACKSON Café, Gallery & Event space in North Carlton... Consisting of 5 key elements:


k CAFE
Serving Segafredo Zanetti Tik Tak coffee which has a rich aroma, and full bodied, smooth taste. Plus, T2 Loose Leaf Specialty Teas.

The menu features mouth watering breakfast staples such as sweet & savory muffins; the 'Chef's Breakfast' - free range organic eggs (poached), Sourdough or Spelt toast, organic middle rasher bacon or butcher made spicy pork & red wine continental sausage (mild or hot), cherry tomatoes, caramelised onion, & wilted spinach; through to scrumptious cakes & slices - which are prepared from scratch, and do not use any artificial ingredients or flavoring!

Run out of time? Need a quick, healthy meal for the family or just yourself? Come in and buy one of their Gourmet Ready Meals - Mediterranean inspired vegetarian take-away. Using only the freshest ingredients, and supporting local suppliers.

k GALLERY
Jackson Café & Gallery seek out and display unique artworks from up and coming and established artists. A variety of mediums are welcomed - from paintings, sculptures, through to industrial design...

Wall space consists of the café - featuring large unobscured front windows facing onto vibrant Rathdowne Street – providing 24hr exposure, flowing through to the high ceiling, and glorious open fire of the private dining room. Upstairs is the dedicated gallery space with 3 main rooms, plus vestibule.  For the warmer months, the fully enclosed rear courtyard with its ‘evergreen’ grass & climbing jasmine is a perfect place for open-air films & ‘moving’ media - and of course the entire facility is available for event hire – thus, further exposure of artists works

k EVENTS
Jackson Café & Gallery can arrange a special, intimate function in their gallery space, café or courtyard.

From breakfast, lunch and afternoon tea meetings to intimate family gatherings, birthday, engagements and small wedding functions.

Jackson Café & Gallery offers exclusive use for functions and weddings (conditions applicable)

Dinner functions: Thursdays, Fridays and Saturday nights available
Standing cocktail party: up to 100 people
Sitting: please contact Peter or Annie to discuss your requirements

k BOARDROOM
The Jackson boardroom is bright & engaging. Equipped with a data projector, and access to excellent AV hire rates. It comfortably seats 10 – 15 people and can be serviced with tasty snacks and freshly brewed coffee and tea from their café.

k SHOP
Jackson Gallery Shop offers a unique range of gifts including
Red Phoenix Emporium jewellery, accessories and homewares. 


Needless to say, life has been a blur of ideas & creativity. Honestly enjoying every moment of the process so far, with lots of learnings along the way. 







Drop past for coffee anytime to see the results thus far! It's certainly been a family affair...
