Step inside Tapps Café and let your senses be welcomed by more than the comforting aroma of freshly-ground, locally sourced coffee.
Our walls come alive as we proudly showcase the captivating work of a talented local artist—each piece telling a story, inviting you to pause, wander, and lose yourself in its colours and textures.
As you explore the gallery within our café, settle into the warm buzz of community with a cup of artisan coffee, a pot of fragrant loose-leaf tea, or one of our lovingly homemade baked creations. Every sip and every bite is crafted to complement the creativity around you—an experience where flavour and imagination meet.
“Come for the art. Stay for the conversation, the comfort, and the delicious adventure waiting at your table.”

CHRIS SQUIRES
“Capturing moments and promoting the beauty of small, and often overlooked, aspects of everyday life and our surroundings.”
Chris creates composite digital artworks and also has a love of photography. An enjoyment of exploring and taking photos of nature, animals, lighting, architecture, he doesn’t have a high-end camera or any expensive equipment, simply capturing moments with simple equipment.
I do my composite pieces on an old laptop I’ve had for many years. I try to encourage people to just give photography a go and work with what you have as you can still get some great shots! Don’t be put off or discouraged, art and creativity is for anyone and everyone in all different forms.
He has always had a love of taking photos, even back in the days of disposable cameras and with his first digital camera as a kid (which was only a couple MP).
I’ve never had any professional training in graphic design or photography, both are just things I love doing.
