Quench Your Thirst
The newly opened Quenchers Espresso Bar & Juicery in Noosa Junction is the culmination of 25 years’ combined experience for Baz and Natasha Riley, running cafes, bars and restaurants in the UK and Australia. Baz, Quenchers’ chief barista and juice mixer, says he is serious about drinks. The blackboard menu lists unusual drink recipes such as caramel and passionfruit or chocolate and chilli milkshakes, or a Lance smoothie of mango, banana, avocado and honey with a free-range egg. Natasha bakes treats each day including chocolate Do-Dads, Jack Flips and banana bread. ‘There is a real community atmosphere in the junction and our locally sourced ingredients aim to reflect that’, Baz said. They serve Buderim Ginger Beer and Cooroy Spring Water, use Kenilworth yoghurt and local honey in smoothies, and have pure jersey milk from Maleny and Montville Coffee which is certified organic and 100 per cent fair-trade.
