Our Story.

Key Café isn’t just a café – it’s a social enterprise with a purpose. As part of Key Community Group, a proudly local, family-run not-for-profit, we exist to create opportunities, connection, and meaningful outcomes for people across the Mid North Coast.

Founded in 1991 by Chris Worboys, Key has grown from a single disability employment program into the largest, locally run community organisation in the region, supporting over 1,200 people each year. Our services span employment programs, youth services, disability supports, registered training, and community engagement and all are guided by the belief that everyone deserves to be seen, heard and valued.

At Key Café, we create employment and training opportunities for people with disability, young people, and others facing barriers to work. Every dollar spent here is reinvested into local programs that strengthen our community. When you visit Key Café, you’re not just supporting a business, you’re helping build a more inclusive, empowered community where anyone can achieve their dreams.

What an amazing experience at Key Cafe! From the moment we walked in, the staff were friendly, welcoming and genuinely cared about making our visit enjoyable.

The food was fresh, delicious and beautifully presented, and the coffee was absolutely spot on. The atmosphere was relaxed and inviting, making it the perfect place to sit back and enjoy a meal.

What really stood out was how family-friendly the cafe is. They went out of their way to make my son feel welcome and even provided colouring-in activities for him, which kept him entertained while we enjoyed our meal. It’s those little touches that make a big difference and show how much they care about their customers.

You can tell the team takes pride in what they do, from the quality of the food to the excellent customer service. If you’re in Coffs Harbour and looking for great food, great coffee and genuinely friendly people, I highly recommend Key Cafe.

We’ll definitely be back! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
