Haven Espresso is building a unique community cachet in Stafford Heights, with a steady stream of locals dropping by the cafe to get their daily cup of coffee. Tucked between a doctors surgery and a newsagent, the new cafe has given passersby a place to sit and wait for their appointment or enjoy an espresso while reading a newly purchased newspaper or magazine. Embracing local is key to owner Neill Hooper’s ethos, with sweet treats supplied by a local baker and coffee beans roasted by Sunshine Coast company Costa Noosa Espresso. The cafe offers a light and simple menu of toasties and sandwiches, with a variety of other options planned for the months ahead.
