History
Flaxton Barn was built in the early 1920s as a pineapple packing shed. The dirt floor and open-ended barn originally had horse driven wagons enter via one end, pack pineapples and exit the other end. In November 1969 it commenced trading as café and has continued ever since. This may be the Sunshine Coast's oldest continuous retail business. The Flaxton Barn has been everything from a silversmith and jeweller, to antiques, homewares, wines, books and always a café.
