Pre-COVID, it wasn’t uncommon for Gold Coasters to retreat south to Byron Bay and Bangalow for the day or a weekend away, but alas, the times they are a changin’ and now a cheeky trip across the border is not as quite as easy. Thankfully, we can now get a little slice of northern New South Wales now that Sparrow Coffee Co has spread its wings to a hole-in-the-wall nook in West Burleigh. Building upon the brand’s four key focus areas – friendliness, speed, consistency and quality – Sparrow Coffee Co is a dependable source of a pick-me-up, boasting a recognisable aesthetic of blue and white tiled floors, bright blue coffee machines and delicious Allpress coffee.
