Braybrook's Baby Bistro into Williamstown kitchen

Fast-growing Braybrook business Baby Bistro has moved into a Williamstown commercial kitchen previously leased to Vili’s Pies and Cakes.

Baby Bistro delivers home-style, organic baby food to families around Melbourne.

The business was founded in the home kitchen of Braybrook mother Sevi Stolica, who was soon hiring a commercial kitchen by the hour to keep up with demand.

Baby Bistro needed to move from hiring a kitchen to a longer term lease and used small business tenancy advocate Amanda Anderson from The Tenant Company to source its new property.

“The brief from Baby Bistro was very specific and finding existing food grade buildings within Melbourne’s west, that had gas connected, was a challenge,” Ms Anderson said.

She adds that Vili’s had previously leased the property for more than 20 years and the kitchen met all of the strict requirements of a food manufacturing building.

The Chelmsford Street building is 500sqm and has been leased for three years with options.
