  • The train arriving at Platform 30…

    Samford’s Handmade Fine Chocolates – The Train Carriage, 30 Station Street, Samford Village

    On Station Street, past the Flying Nun Café, opposite the Samford Museum, you may have noticed an old railway carriage parked by the side of the road.

    Laura Young noticed it and her first thought was “Chocolate”.
    To be fair, Laura’s first thought most days is “Chocolate” – but on this occasion it was a somewhat more practical thought.

    After much renovation, negotiation and other words ending in ‘ation’, the concept of “Platform 30 – First Class Chocolates” is coming to fruition.
    Laura says “I loved the idea of a small Chocolate and Sweet shop in the village, but could never find a suitable home – then one day I saw a railway carriage being dropped off, and it all fell into place!”
    The shop’s main focus is on hand-made Australian chocolates and imported sweets, but Laura’s other passion (besides chocolate) is handicrafts – and so a part of the carriage will be set up as a craft area. Laura explained:

    “I know lots of people around Samford who regularly sew, embroider, cross-stitch and do other crafts – but sometimes it’s a lonely hobby. By making part of the shop available to anyone who wants to come in and craft and chat, I hope people will come and spend an hour or two amongst like-minded souls – offering and receiving advice and (of course) munching on chocolates!”

    Laura also plans to sell some of her unique hand-made bags in the shop. “If you buy a bag, I will have to give you a chocolate to put in it!” she explains!

    “It’s very exciting” says Laura. “Crafts and Chocolates may seem a strange mixture at first – but I hope Platform 30 will become a meeting place as well as a shop, and with the café and gift shop nearby, Station street will be the place to be in Samford!”

    What’s next? The menu at YaYa Bar and Eatery offers up new enticements daily, inspired by a serious love of food and drink, and the Buzzstop Espresso Bar is still brewing up awesome espresso and tasty, convenient eats.

    Owners Jamie and Jodie have created a destination, a place to discover new tastes, take a little time and indulge yourself with wine and dessert, while wrapped in a comfy blanket.

    Chef Sam Axton says he loves this rainy cold weather in the valley, and we wonder if it reminds him of his English home.

    He’s been keeping the chill at bay with fresh baked bread and house pasta, and serving up specials like school prawns with lime aioli, or the heavenly braised beef cheek with horseradish cream, shaved parmesan and grilled sourdough.

    The bar hums with classic cocktails reworked just for thrills, and steady favourites like sangria and ‘Jodie’s pink lemonade’ by the jug.

    The best news is with YaYa open seven days for breakfast and lunch, fans of older sibling BuzzStop, have more choice than ever before.

    Choose from BuzzStop’s popular range of brunch bagels, Turkish breads and big salads, or be enticed by YaYa’s range of breakfast meals, and lunch staples like the sand crab pasta or wagyu burger with handcut chips.

    Wash it down with one of 30 exclusive wines by the glass, an expertly made espresso or fresh squeezed juice.

    The ever-present tunes catch the spirit of YaYa and BuzzStop; where else would Marilyn Monroe rub up against The Rolling Stones? Just like the delicious food, you never know what’s next!

    The YaYa Bar and Eatery is at 37 Main Street, Samford Village, open for breakfast and lunch seven days a week, dinner until late from Wednesday to Sunday. For bookings and enquiries phone 3289 5552.

    The Buzz Stop Espresso Bar is open Monday to Friday from 6am, and Saturday and Sunday from 7am. For orders and enquiries phone 3289 5555.
