Swathed in a vibrant green layer of astroturf, the shopfront of Gas Espresso catches your eye as you drive along Sherwood Road. Each morning, the comfortable space becomes filled with the scent of rich espresso coffee and wholesome breakfast selections – attracting the bleary-eyed early birds of Sherwood to step inside. Beyond the fuzzy entrance, you’ll meet owner Aaron and his vivacious team working within the eclectically ornamented joint. Corresponding with its name, the locale’s adornments feature petrol pump handles and mechanical accessories – alongside the teapots, cups and greenery dappled throughout. Those on their way to work can take advantage of the Txt4Coffee system and order ahead, and perhaps pick up one of the cafe’s popular pesto chicken turkish bread sandwiches or turkey bagels to go.
