Christmas is finally here and it’s the end of yet another year!
And what a year it has been. The 31st Dec marks for us the end of our anniversary of a decade, and 2011 is now the beginning of what we hope will be the start of yet another 10 good years of the Bitton Café.
I want to thank my community of loyal customers; it is especially wonderful to see the ‘community’ breakfast table just get bigger and bigger. To me this is the essence of my café, seeing people come together over good coffee, fine food, friendship, and laughter.
Thank you to every customer who has come in for coffee almost every day – if you ever wondered if anyone would notice if you didn’t get up one day…well the staff at Bitton know, and may even have a chat as to where you may be!
We want to wish the man who sits on table 8 outside all year round regardless of the weather and sips a long black with raisin bread at approx. 7.45am, a happy new year.
And also to Mr Flat White – yes many of our regulars are nicknamed after their coffee!
And to the mums with their tums and there baby conversations – we have learnt a lot from you ladies – probably more than we wished too!
We also thank the cool guys who wear their sunglasses, well….permanently! We do feel honoured that you grace us with your presence.
To all the pretty ladies, sorry your coffee might take a little longer to arrive, but eye candy really is a special treat for Andy and me…one we must savour!
To the people that order then change their minds – we really don’t mind, honest.
To all those that look like coffee is the only thing keeping them alive that day.
And to those who order One Pan Bacon and Eggs…but without the egg, oh and the bacon.
We thank you all for creating a wonderful atmosphere; the hummm of conversation along with the smell of good coffee, hearing laughter, hearing little kids playing, greeting our customers by name as they do my staff– this is what makes a café such a wonderful place to run, sharing it with the people who have created the Bitton community.
We love you all! And we hope you have a spectacular Christmas and a very prosperous new year and we look forward to seeing you a great deal in 2011!

Love this David!
You and your staff always provide such great service, amazing food and fantastic coffee. Thank you for creating a space, service and culture that makes people feel so welcome. It's an absolute credit to you and your team and is why you will continue to be successful for years to come.
Have a beautiful festive season and Mick and I look forward to many more yummy breakfasts in 2011!
Cheers,
Shandra
Congratulations on 10 years! From a relative newcomer - I've only been coming in for weekly breakfast for about 8 years. But I do keep coming back for the good food & coffee, but especially the compliments, even when I know there's far more flattery than truth!
My daughter can't wait to grow up a bit more so she can become a waitress. She'll have to work on her french accent...
Looking forward to the next 10 years... Melissa.
Congrats on the 10 years to you and your team.
Hope the next 10 is just as good for you.
Look forward to seeing for a coffee in the New year when I fly in next.
Missing the Bitton experience in Brisbane!

Hi David,
This is an excellent service to SMS your coffee order. I love it.
I'm making your famous French Apple Tart today, with your recipe book.
I will let you know how it turns out.
Lots of love Bianca (sexy teenager)

Bonjour David,
And what about your interstate "teenagers" who fly in once or twice a year for the degustation dinners....and every now and then an unexpected degustation lunch? I feel "we" deserve a special mention....those airfares are killing me!
Congrats on the decade of wonderful service/inspiration to us all.
Much love to you your family and staff.

Hello David and the whole team,
Thank you for the sentiments expressed in your blog.
I say 'David and the whole team' because it is indeed a whole team effort. There are the team members who are on the front-line, as it were, but there are also those who work behind the scenes and it is this combined effort which make the expereince a delight.
All the very best for 2011 to you, team and family.

Lovely salutations, David. I am new to your site. It was the Monkey Nut Chutney that peaked my curiosity. What I found was a nice place to visit.
You have the face and the heart of the special kind of chef who reveres the
ingredients and loves to infuse his customers with what he feels inside. I
believe they call it 'talent'.
May you and your crew have the best of what 2011 could be for you. I must
congradulate you for your 10th anniversary.
From an American,..Merry Christmas!
I stumbled over this place a few years ago now and have NEVER looked back. I lived in Brisbane for 4 years and on each visit I would squeeze in some time for Bitton, whether it was a medium rare eye fillet or the one pan bacon and eggs or the garlic bread I always begged Andy for.. this place is a part of who I am. Looking forward to sharing in your success and will continue to share the amazing atmosphere and the simplicity of great food and consistency of excellent service that Bitton has to offer with my closest friends and loved ones. Wishing you David, your family, Andy and all your staff a safe Christmas and a New Year that surpasses expectation. Mireille (M.J)
