Charlie Mainprice has relocated her labour of love, The Sugar Loaf tearoom, from Victoria Passage to a prominent location on the edge of the town’s Ryemarket shopping centre. The new venture, based in the former Delightful Desserts unit next to Coffee#1, was officially opened on Saturday morning (November 1) after six weeks of preparations. Charlie, who opened the tearoom about a year ago after first running The Truly Scrumptious Boutique gift shop in Victoria Passage, said the move means more space and the ability to cater for more customers with the hope of also re-launching her gift offering. She also hopes to be able to hold a market type event on Sundays with stalls in the future and has ambitions to refurbish the upstairs floors of the property which she said would be ideal for hosting business meetings and birthday parties.
