A Sunshine Coast actor has opened his first local coffee shop and has plans to expand the business across the region.

Tomas Oliver – who has held several minor roles in films, television series and advertisements – has launched Espressly Coffee Co with his business partner Telitha Quinton on the main street of Buderim.

He said it was a passion project.

“I’ve always dreamed of opening a coffee shop that feels like a second home to people,” he said.

“Espressly Coffee Co is all about great coffee, great conversations, and creating a sense of community.

“I’m thrilled to finally see this dream come to life in Buderim.”

Telitha and Tomas are proud to open the coffee shop.

Mr Oliver said the shop offered a wide range of beverages – from rich, aromatic espresso to smooth lattes and indulgent iced coffees – and an array of light bites.

The 38-year-old from Woombye said he spared no expense to ensure that Espressly Coffee Co stood out from the crowd.

The shop features state-of-the-art coffee equipment and high-quality beans from sustainable farms. Each cup is brewed a skilled barista.

Espressly Coffee Co is located at Middy’s on Buderim along Main Street, but Mr Oliver has ambitious plans to expand the business across the Sunshine Coast, with several new outlets set to open during the next few months.

“Our goal is to create spaces where people can come together and enjoy not just great coffee, but also great company,” he said.

“We’re excited to bring Espressly Coffee Co to more locations and continue to grow our family of coffee lovers.”

Mr Oliver is known for performances in commercials for RACQ, Integrale Homes, The Bower Tree, and QEBs, as well as his roles in The True History of the Kelly Gang and Glitch.
