There isn’t a regular Victoria St shop customer who doesn’t know the incredible Julie, who has been working at Market Lane for nine years and manages the Vic Market location. Julie is a meticulous, detail-oriented and proactive person, who cares deeply about her shop, team members, and especially her customers.

True to its name, Gateway Yarra Valley sits right where the Melba and Maroondah Highways meet, which makes it a great first stop for visitors to the area, as well as locals looking for fresh, delicious food and coffee.

NAIDOC Week is an annual celebration of the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. It’s celebrated not just in Indigenous communities, but in all communities across the country. It's a great opportunity to learn more about, and support, your local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community.

Our Sydney Rd shop manager James is beloved by many members of our community. He has worked in hospitality for 20 years, and we're lucky that nine of those years have been spent helping create welcoming shop spaces and brewing beautiful coffees at Market Lane.
