A Queensland cafe which made worldwide headlines after its owner stood up for a breastfeeding mother, is now on the market after just three years in business.
Cheese and Biscuits cafe owner Jessica Allen, who co-owns the business with her husband Steve in Rockhampton, said the pair had thoroughly enjoyed their time running the cafe.
‘We’re ready to move onto the next project. We’ve got a few things floating around but nothing definite yet. We’ve got a couple of things up our sleeve,’ she told FEMAIL.

‘We want to take some time to focus on themselves and family.’
In 2015, Mrs Allen told a disgruntled customer to leave her cafe after they had approached her to ask a breastfeeding mum to cover up.
According to reports the patron asked staff to tell the young mother to cover up, and when they refused he took it upon himself to tell her off, upsetting the woman.
Mrs Allen, 32, took to Facebook, where she revealed details of the incident, and the customer’s response.

The cafe’s Facebook page was flooded with positive comments, with many mothers thanking the business for standing up for them.
‘We’ve got a lot of mothers’ groups who come to us now, and support us for supporting them over such a controversial social topic,’ Mrs Allen said.
‘We don’t have kids ourselves but we’re were never going to stand for anyone being public shamed or bullied.’

The couple started the cafe after returning from a trip through Europe and the United Kingdom. Within a few years, it has become a firm fixture in the small township.

The duo don’t have plans to move from the area, and Mrs Allen said whatever the their next business venture was, it would have community focus.
‘The community has been very supportive of us, and we in return have been very supportive of the community,’ she added.
‘We have been involved in lots of fundraising activities.
‘We support a lot of local charities.’
‘We’re not going to pack up and leave any time soon.’

The cafe was listed for sale last month on Gumtree and has already had a ‘fair amount’ of interest, Mrs Allen said.
‘It’s a good stable start for anyone that wants to carry on in the Cheese and Biscuits legacy,’ she concluded.
