About Sherwood Coffee
Sherwood Coffee is an independent café brand based in Newcastle, New South Wales, known for its specialty coffee, relaxed atmosphere, and simple but considered food menu. Its flagship location on Parry Street in Newcastle West serves espresso-based drinks, batch brew and other coffee beverages alongside toasties, açai bowls, pastries, and light breakfast and lunch options. The group has expanded to several sites around the Newcastle area, positioning itself as a local hub for quality coffee and community-oriented café spaces.
A charge labelled like “LS E.H GIBSON-BURNS Newcastle Wes” is very likely tied to the legal partnership behind Sherwood Coffee (E.H. Gibson‑Burns & D.J. Sprague) processing a card payment at the Newcastle West/Parry Street café, rather than a medical or unrelated professional service. The descriptor uses the owners’ legal names and an abbreviation of “Newcastle West,” which matches the Parry Street café’s location and ABN registration in postcode 2299. This type of charge would usually correspond to an in-store purchase of coffee, food, or takeaway items, and will typically be a one‑off transaction on the date you visited the café, though repeat visits will naturally show multiple similar entries.
If you’re unsure about a Sherwood Coffee charge, start by checking your receipts or bank app for the transaction date and amount and see if it matches a visit to one of their cafés. Because the merchant descriptor may show the owners’ names instead of “Sherwood Coffee,” searching your email or bank activity for that date can help jog your memory. To resolve questions, you can contact the Parry Street café directly using the phone number or contact details on their official website, or visit the store with your statement for clarification. Your bank can also provide more detail on the transaction time and terminal ID, which Sherwood’s staff can sometimes match to their point‑of‑sale records if there’s a dispute or suspected error.
