Very VIP vibes ✨️

🚨 PSA: The End of an Era 🚨

It’s with a heavy heart (and a whole lot of love) that we say goodbye to one of Skinny Boy’s biggest personalities—the one and only Gracey 💔💫

Gracey is off to chase her “adult job” (whatever that means 😭), and while we’re so proud of her, we’re also in absolute denial. How do we even put into words the energy, the chaos, and the pure Gracey-ness that made Skinny's what it is?

She wasn’t just a barista; she was the vibe. The hype girl. The first to laugh at herself and the first to check in on everyone else. Gracey could sense if you weren’t feeling your best from a mile away—and would either offer a chat, a coffee, or just some pure unfiltered Gracey nonsense to make you laugh.

But let’s be real—Gracey’s true passion? Germ avoidance. A self-proclaimed hypochondriac, she was never without her hand sanitizer, always on high alert with the classic:
❓ “Are you sick?”
❓ “Do you think this is a rash?”
❓ “Am I getting sick?!”

Despite her very dramatic germ paranoia, she had the most contagious smile in the biz. A customer service queen and an absolute icon on the coffee machine, she made every single person who walked through the doors feel welcome.

Gracey, you’re irreplaceable. Skinnys won’t be the same without your energy, your kindness, and your endless ability to make us all laugh. We love you, we’re so grateful for all the memories, and we know you’re going to absolutely smash it in this next chapter.

💙 We miss you, we promise we're not sick. 💙

P.S - Can you find all of the 'Hand Sanitiser Graceys' in the picture?
P.P.S - There's 12 of them.

This is Dan. Dan enjoys coffee in anything but coffee cups. He also enjoys hikes, fruit juice (but has been cut off), complaining about the heat (even though he's from WA), and working on his mad barista skillz.

Give Dan a challenge and suggest his next "not a coffee cup" object.

Nothing unique here but the ol' reliable smashed avo.

They're kinda a big deal around the cafe game. She's refreshing and is a great hugger. She's balanced and makes you feel like then only girl in the room. She can be a little zesty sometimes with her dukkah flair.

You'll find her mingling with the specialty coffee crowd, she's always stealing the spotlight.

Fun fact!

Did you know coffee beans aren't actually beans (LIES!). They're actually the seeds of a fruit called a coffee cherry (CUTE!).

So technically, coffee is like fruit juice. Now that's pretty fancy.
