Warwick’s newest dining venue has officially opened at Rose City Shoppingworld and already has the community salivating over its delicious offerings.

Espresso Max Café opened its doors in Warwick on Tuesday 8 June, joining seven other locations across Queensland.

Known for its high-quality coffee and extensive breakfast and lunch options, the café has quickly become a favourite spot amongst locals and visitors alike.

Manager Lyly Cheng said the business is thriving so far, and appears to have filled a gap in the market.

“We’re doing very well. We have a lot of lunch orders,” Lyly said.

“I feel like the people here needed this café – something new, a change.”

With venues already in Toowoomba, Chermside, Lutwyche, Garden City, Southbank, the Sunshine Coast and Acacia Ridge, Lyly said the decision to expand to Warwick was “based off research”.

The Warwick café currently trades seven days a week, from 8.00am to 5.00pm, but has plans to extend its hours in the near future.

“We’re working on getting an alcohol licence and extending into night trade,” Lyly said.

Patrons already have a wide range of speciality drinks and food to choose from – including breakfast food, light meals, steak, pasta, burgers and seafood – but Lyly said the current menu will soon be updated and expanded.

Lyly is also now taking applications for a qualified chef, baristas and general floor staff to join the team.

“We’ve hired a few people already, but we need at least four people on the floor,” Lyly said.

Any person interested in applying is encouraged to contact Lyly on 0426 858 355. Chefs can also send their resume through to jodie@espressomax.com.au.
