A NEW drive-through coffee shop is set to open its doors in the Toowoomba CBD today.


Nonstop Coffee in Ruthven St will officially open to paying customers, but has been operating by word of mouth since last week.


Manager and company director Nev Siebenhausen said the coffee shop was aiming to please the growing coffee culture in Toowoomba.


"We are aiming at providing a premium coffee experience, in a drive-through format," Mr Siebenhausen said.


"We've gone a little bit further than that and partnered with Amore. They import beans from Papua New Guinea and Nicaragua and we've bought them to Toowoomba."



The drive-through coffee shop, run out of a shipping container, is adding a twist to the traditional coffee shop menu.


Mr Siebenhausen said there would be a children's packed lunch available at an affordable price which was a healthy alternative to traditional tuckshops.


"We've done research informally with mothers, parents, schools and groups and found there's an interest in affordable packed lunches," Mr Siebenhausen said.


"The children's lunch will have a piece of fruit, a fruit popper, half a wrap and cheese and crackers for $5.50."


The menu will also feature a breakfast-to-go menu, with bacon and egg paninis and ham and cheese croissants, a range of muffins and slices and a healthy lunch menu.


Mr Siebenhausen said the low key opening was a way to teach new employees the ropes without an onslaught of customers.


A grand opening will be held early next year.
