Our Story

It has always been our dream and vision to create something of our own. 

​

The journey of That Place for us began in 2020 as a small café serving coffee to our local neighbourhood in Mascot. 

​

Many of you may remember we used to be called Bourke & Hare. We took over the original B&H in September 2020 in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic. Many restauranteurs at this time had given up on their projects, but we saw this as an opportunity to bring our vision to life. 

​

When we first started, it was quiet. There were days where we only had a table or two. But this didn't deter us from keep pushing ourselves to do better. We knew that if we produced great food, brewed fresh coffees and gave excellent customer service, we will eventually become That Place. And we did.

 

We didn’t do this alone; we have a great team of staff who are all customers focused. We emphasise on the importance of customer service, and would refuse to compromise on the quality of our products. All together as a family, we created this amazing dining place for the neighbourhood. 

​

Since September 2020, we got to know many of you on a personal level and created many friendships. We have hosted many, many birthday parties for the children in the hood and celebrated many special milestones with you.

​

The name and concept of 'That Place' came from George to bring alive our vision for our café restaurant to be 'That Place' where you catch up with your family and friends for a freshly brewed cup of coffee, 'That Place' for the first date of a couple, 'That Place' to celebrate life's milestones and 'That Place' where you will create memories filled with love, joy and peace. 

​

With lots of love,

George, Jess & TP family
