About Us

Fiveways was first established by Michael & Lauren Brimson, the goal of Fiveways since its beginning in September of 2019 was to create something different than just another café.

Both Lauren and Michael had worked in many different cafes, from big franchises to specialty coffee, and small boutique coffee shops, and what they found was it didn’t matter where it was located, most customers were going for more than just a good coffee, they wanted a community, so they thought why couldn't the customer have both?

But there was one problem, so many places that they had worked in didn't have a great working environment, staff would often fake happiness to customers and so many employees generally didn’t care or even want to be at work. It mostly was due to the workplace being stressful, chaotic, and always seemed to be under the constant watch. after spending over 12 years working in the industry combined, Lauren and Michael believed that there was another way to do it.

So, they embarked on some of hardest years of their lives getting their dream into a reality. After 4 years they have created a place that had a balance between having a fun workplace that make all employees want to be there, as well as create a place for customers to feel apart of, a place they feel more than just a number, a place where the customer has been given a real community. 

Now that they had created this space, they realised how important it was, not just to Sherwood which is where it all started, but to everywhere in Australia.
