ESPRESSO on Maple has officially opened inside Rosetta Books, thanks to local entrepreneurs Tim Coulson and local author Sarah Williams.
Occupying the same space as the previous coffee shop did pre-Covid, the new espresso bar offers all sorts of hot and cold drinks including iced tea, iced latte and frappes to cool you down on these hot summer days.
“We jumped at the chance to combine our love of coffee and books,” said Sarah, who is the bestselling author of the Heart of the Hinterland series – romance novels set right here in Maleny.
Lea and Rob, the new owners of Rosetta Books are thrilled to have Espresso on Maple in their shop. “Everyday people would ask if coffee was going to be served again and having Tim and Sarah run it is a real win-win situation,” Lea said. “And our customers are loving being able to shop while they sip their drinks.”
The coffee is a speciality blend designed specifically for the shop using organic, fairtrade beans which are freshly roasted on the Sunshine Coast.
Espresso on Maple also plan to serve snacks and sweet treats prepared by local bakers, making it a fantastic place for morning or afternoon tea.
With indoor and outdoor seating for book lovers to enjoy a drink while reading their new purchase or catching up with friends, this is a great addition to the Maleny community.
