Great coffee in Sydney! Come on.
This place has a relaxed atmosphere, which makes sipping on a nitro brew, it a pour over that much more satisfying. Having cascara and nitro on tap, as well as a fresh batchy, makes this Melbournian one happy coffee camper.
With newly wed friends just moving into the neighbour, this place is now a must, when ever I head up this way.
Came across this cafe in Crows Nest, I was looking for fresh fruit juice but they had 100% fruit smoothie and I was curious to try it. The smoothie was made with passionfruit, pineapple, mango and apple juice. It was refreshing, I’ll be back to try the food next time.
Amazing rustic cafe in Crows Nest , in a square opposite of a an old charge next to a green north facing area.
The menu has just been changed to offer variety of breakfast items ( and yes that includes any style of eggs :) )
The new lunch menu is divine! And very reasonably priced. Superfood Salad is the signature dish and comes with a pan fried Salmon fillet, Ratatouille Pasta and Garlic Chilli Mushroom are few of the other new dishes on the menu.
Their coffee is out of this world, single origins and blended varieties.
One of the nice Cafes amongst many in Crows Nest. Their coffee was nice and the place was nicely presented, very welcoming. It would be a nice hang-out for coffee on an easy weekend.
Winner here in my humble. Best in Crows Nest / NB area I have frequented so far. Micro roasting of coffee on site with the cafe themed accordingly, staff with personality and good food. My breakfast choice was Eton Mess. It was a nice variation to the usual fare and the coconut chips a great addition/indulgence. Plenty of plump fresh berries atop a not sweet yogurt, as an easy eat. Winner dish for me.
Came here with a few friends for breakfast and because it was a frosty morning I decided a soup would be perfect. And I was not disappointed. The soup was amazing, warm, a beautiful aromatic combination of vegetables for only $10. My friends had a wonderful creative toast and some other breakfast dishes which looked amazing. Overall a great experience, fast service, good food, a tad pricey but nowadays what isn't!!
I had a nanna moment & I desparetly needed a cuppa to keep me going (please don't judge). Bean's cool interior caught my eye so I popped in for a cuppa (again don't judge that I went to a coffee place for a cuppa).
After $4.60 exchanged hands (I thought I missed heard) & sufficient wait, my tea arrived in a beautiful set, already brewed for immediate drinking. It nearly bought tears to my eyes, so beautiful were the details, so strong & delicate the taste of my tea. AND a plaque card which read "Sometimes All you need is a Good cup of Tea", which rang true. I second that sister!
Gorgeous tea & time out to slow down the moment.
Worth the money. Will be back to try coffee next time.
Visited this place with a few friends after a painting session at the now-closed Colour Me Mine. I tried the Ladies' Delight, which is a healthy classic dish (if you could stop yourself from smothering your sourdough with the provided soft, whipped butter), but it seemed a bit exy ($18) for the amount served. The Gentleman's Rise was much bigger in portion and was recommended by my friend so might give that a try next time.

We often walk pass this area and notice Bean Drinking is always fairly busy. Situated adjacent a small park, be sure to grab an outdoor table to take full advantage of the view and fresh air. However, the foot traffic can be a little distracting, as the seating is situated on a walkway.
I haven’t yet tried their cold dip coffees, but found their regular hot coffee to be a bit hit-and-miss for me, but still nice. I like how they have an all day menu and serve breakfast boards till late (2pm weekdays, 4pm weekends). All their menu items sound appealing with lovely ingredients and good combinations.
I’ve tried the Gentleman’s Rise and it’s pretty substantial, with smoky bacon, black pudding, 65 degree egg, heirloom tomatoes, sourdough and relish for $18, it’s good value for the serving size. There’s a nice combination of heavy proteins together with refreshing elements like the tomatoes and relish.
Worth trying // gentleman’s rise breakfast board
Next to try // brew bar drinks
Pros // substantial servings, quality food, friendly service
Cons // can get busy
Food: 4/5
Ambience: 4/5
Service: 4.5/5
We didn't remember them having cooked food last time (just premade stuff like sandwiches and brownies) but this french toast was good and quite cheap ($9.50).
Yesterday was the first time that I had been there. My breakfast (omelette) was so delicious. Unfortunately I didn’t take pictures but definitely I will go back and will share some photos.
Nice coffee, great food at a relaxing and open place. The Spicy Salmon Pasta was good! 👍
We had two cappuccinos and the breakfast brioche roll ☕️☕️
Delightful space, friendly and professional staff.
Comfortable chairs 👏🏼
Coffee and good food! Will be back for sure 🙌🏽
My go-to café for tea in Crows Nest I can't speak for the coffee, but the tea is excellent. (They brew it before serving; be patient.) Service is friendly and prompt, and they offer a good café menu. Top location away from traffic and next to a grassy area where kids can play. Plenty of outside seating with shelter from sun and rain.
You do have to watch for magpies who can be persistent.
The environment is very good. It's very enjoyable to have breakfast here.
Ice long black and flat white are worth getting 5 star, but the cooking odors is too strong in the store. I will visit here to take away coffee again.
