Pāpāmoa’s Double Teaspoons café is doubling down on their fundraising efforts for Cancer Society’s Daffodil Day again this year!

This Friday, August, 25, the Pāpāmoa Plaza-based café will serve up delicious kai and hot coffee – all to feed into a good cause.

It’s the fourth year Double Teaspoons has rallied funds for the Cancer Society and owner-operator May Lau has a new goal.

“We’re hoping to get $4000 this year. Whatever the takings are for the day, we’re just going to donate the whole amount to Cancer Society…last year we did $3540 on the day so hopefully we beat that!”

May supports Daffodil Day because she feels everybody knows someone who has cancer or has had it.

“So many people are affected by it, whether you’ve got cancer yourself or your family or your friends.

“It’s quite close to the heart and it’s just a very good cause to take part in.”

Running her café in the Pāpāmoa for nearly eight years now, May says: “I always feel like, even as a small business and making money, you should still give back to your community.”

Double Teaspoons will have their usual delicious and freshly crafted treats for customers to enjoy on the day.

“Most of our items on the counter are very popular –our doughnuts usually go very fast and our custard squares go very fast, so we’ll just make more of what we do best!”

Get along and support the Cancer Society next Friday, August 25, at Double Teaspoons; open from 7.30am-6pm.
