Came in for a late afternoon tea just before closing and then spotted the daily menu - wow everything sounds amazing - can't wait to come back and try it all!
Love, love, love this cafe so many vegan options amazing food and the vibe and decor a credit to owner a beautiful man who has created a gorgeous space at the foot of the hills. Kara in the kitchen creating amazing meals. Cannot recommend highly enough ✔️✔️✔️✔️
Great coffee, staff, atmosphere and food! Bring your friends
Such a good local spot! Love the food and amazing coffee!�
Lovely place to eat. Great coffee and amazing food. Fantastic friendly staff always make it a great place to be
The best beans in town. Freshly roasted and good prices. Great to have this business in knox area.
Breakfast Brownie - devine! Had been there once b4. Friendly staff Highly recommended
Food is fantastic with well balanced flavours and great coffee. This is our new go to cafe when in the area!
Always enjoy the muesli & the chai is grea
Best long black in Melbourne ! Highly recommend !
Thanks to Steve at Chosen Bean we drink the best coffee at home....make sure you try it!!
Well this cafe really doesn't look like much from the outside but it really is a decent place. It was very spacious on the inside with the option to sit outside. We arrived at around on Saturday 11:30am which is typically when queues form outside many brunch places but no queuing up required here so defs a plus. My turmeric and honey latte was pleasant. It's the first time having a turmeric latte with honey, it was certainly yummy. The ingredients on my bagel were fresh, the pickled onions and cucumber really giving it a savoury hit. Only complaint was a bit of effort was needed to saw through the bagel with a blunt knife. Worth a visit if in the area or looking for a feed after doing the nearby 1000 steps.
First impression; chosen bean seems like a less than average cafe, upon entering, it was warm and cosy, great ambience and a homey family vibe. Coffee was great. I also ordered the matcha which was too sweet and lacked an authentic matcha flavour. But the food was scrumptious, the keto plate was amazing and filling, colourful presentation and friendly staff.
Good coffee, good chicken and avocado toasted. Will come back next time. The staff are nice and friendly here. And good choice! Strongly recommended
Stopped here for a well made barista coffee! It was a bit of wait but the coffee was well made and tasted great! The food menu looks good so keen to try it next time!
I only recently discovered this hidden gem and I must say I have been blown away impressed not just by the great food and coffee but also the fantastic hospitality and the service. It’s just one of those places where they really are prepared to help, add extras, take away toast, use almond milk - none of it seems too hard. And they are even helpful when it comes time to pay the bill, with dividing up amongst our group. I took hubby last weekend and this week he was very keen for a repeat visit, which just showed me how fantastic this place is. Who’d have known that behind that ordinary exterior is a welcoming foodie haven!
I regularly buy coffee here and so far they have been consistent. Great place! Eaten here once and the food was really good! The staff are friendly and would highly recommend them!
A little cosy cafe with friendly service - was here for brunch with some friends. Coffee was excellent and my pan fried gnocchi was also a delight. Friends had the panini and were very pleased with it too as the panini bread was soft. Great for breakfast and brunch.
The café is a bit tucked away between real-estate and tax accountant shops, so we really didn't expect to find such a modern, chill venue. A really unexpected find. The interior was warm and welcoming, with a cool city vibe. The staff were all laid-back, cheerful and attentive.
The food came out fast and was plated with a lot of care – the dishes really look spectacular. The Halloumi Stack was very tasty, large portions. Good range of drinks including specialty coffees, hot drinks and juices. I was really happy with the range of vegetarian options.
Try to have a look at the pastries and deserts on offer at the counter – we didn't see them until we were about to pay, but they looked awesome.
A surprisingly good find! No problem getting a table on Saturday morning. I had the nourish crepes and they were absolutely delicious and diet friendly!
I must say I love this little gem! This is my first review ever on Zomato and I decided to give my first 5 stars to Chosen Bean.
I go there quite often and the staff are always friendly. Their coffee is amazing! I'm hooked!
Their food is also pretty good. I'm more into their coffee than anything else- and their amazing service!
Nice atmosphere, coffee smelt amazing however I decided to have one of their specialty juices (carrot, orange, ginger and turmeric) and it was perfect. Also had a pesto chicken panini and it was very tasty. Clean restrooms, polite staff and plenty of places to sit even when busy. Cake display looked amazing and I'll definitely go back to try out the coffee.
Slam dunk choice of a brunch spot! It took a bit of convincing my other half to give this a go - the menu seems a bit underwhelming when you read it - but we got there and found the weekly specials really helped round it out. Food was tasty, well presented and in large portions (I ate mine so fast I forgot to take a a photo!). Coffee was good, service was fast and attentive. Literally could not fault our experience here. We will certainly be back.
Great little cafe, doesn't look like anything special but the food was delicious. Great selection of gluten free, vegetarian and vegan meals.
Eggs, eggs and more eggs, pretty much everything has eggs in or on it, not that I'm complaining because I love eggs, especially perfectly cooked poached eggs like they do here. It's more of an all day breakfast joint which doesn't really appeal to me but the food all looked and tasted delicious. The relish on the toast did not go well with the hollandaise sauce for me and there's nothing for kids except milkshakes. But the rest was great. The coffee is 👌🏼
Chose this place after a trekking through the 1000 steps. Pleasantly surprised at what was on offer and the quality. Much wow, such egg, agility.
Inner city quality food (and inner city prices) all the way out in Ferntree Gully! What a gem. Great coffee (roasted on site) and a versatile menu for all cravings. The wild mushrooms with polenta and fresh ingredients is my go-to dish. Nice place to have a lunch and relax with the newspaper.
Only criticism is the serving sizes can be inconsistent from week to week. The paleo plate especially, sometimes quite generous while other times can be quite lean.
Menu has a great vegetarian selection.
It was no bother to customise our orders.
All day breakfast available, coffee is good staff are great.
I had the poached eggs on potato rosti, hollandaise sauce - bacon + mushrooms.
The other meal is middle eastern beans and nuts, poached eggs + smoked salon and mushrooms. Very large serving, very satisfied.
Only complaint the poached eggs weren't runny.
However would recommend.
This is definitely one of my favourite cafes. They have brilliant staff that don't just serve food and drink, they take care of their customers. They take the time to make you feel at home, in their lovely artgallery/cafe space.
They have great vegan, gluten-free & paleo options and have very creative options on their drinks menu.
Toilets: Clean and user friendly.
Wheelchair Access: The front door will accept small wheelchairs and there aren't any stairs.
I tried out the chosen bean in ferntree gully with one of my friends on Saturday. It's tucked away in the mountain gate shops. It really is a little hidden gem! I had the sautéed mushrooms with polenta fresh spinach, herbs, goats curd and a poached egg - and I added bacon. It was really good, and the egg was perfect! The cafe itself is really inviting, they have really nice coffee and you can even buy their coffee beans (plus all the equipment you need) to replicate it all at home!
Great little cafe in the burbs with some interesting menu choices, great coffee, and friendly staff. Recommended to come here and try their offerings. Who knew that cold filter coffee would make it out this far so soon!
Chicken burger was really great, although perhaps a little dry. Sweet potato chips were amazing!
Chicken salad very good ! Tasty and crispy ! Chicken was perfectly cooked !
The steack sandwich was correct as well ! The hot chocolat was perfect !!
Constantly trying to hit up some new cafes round Boronia, and I gotta say...this might be a front runner! Situated at the Mountain gate shops (turn left just after the Woolworths). It can easily be missed I guess if you didn't know about it, but I looked up Zomato and found this beaut so I'm happy bout that.
They have Green Tea lattes here. Get it. It's good. If you like Chai lattes it's 'similar'.
Ordered breaky. God variety of dishes. And good prices too. Dukka Eggs. Amazing! Really well presented and full of flavour. some bits of radish, walnuts and pickled beetroot gave it a twist. Partner got the Rosti Eggs which he said was very tasty. Both our poached eggs were cooked to perfection! Service was good and food came out quick enough. Lunch menu looks great too, will be coming back to try that and other breaky items!
Service was quick and friendly. Asked for an iced chai when it was not on the menu and staff were more than happy to attempt making it. The southern fried chicken burger was also delicious. Crunchy and flavourful. *thumbs up*
A favourite local cafe of ours, Chosen Bean proves that you can get excellent coffee in the outer suburbs of Melbourne. The selection of food choices is great. On this occasion, having just eaten breakfast a few hours earlier, I just had a green juice and seed bar. My fellow diners had a variety of breakfast and lunch items. Servings were generous, and special order requests were smoothly accommodated.
Acav will definitely be back.
Coffee here is consistently excellent. We had breakfast on a Sunday morning which was pretty busy but the staff/service was really friendly. Food was nice.
It is rare to find such quality coffee and harder even so far outside central Melbourne. An exceptional roastery in their own right, with locals regularly stocking their personal bean supplies, the coffee has been consistent and sublime, rivaling if not bettering central or cbd cafes. To top it off, the cabinet food is also excellent. The only cafe worth visiting for coffee this far east of the city.
Good experience, friendly staff, great coffee, breakfast and lunch.
I enjoy the environment in the cafe, very clean. Both coffee and tea are great and breakfast is very delicious.
The locally sourced bacon is quite literally to die for. The owner is lovely and his kids work the register and coffee machine which i think is great. The new location is wonderful and the food is always great. My favorite place to go for breakfast
Double yum. A fantastic cafe with incredible breakfast. I had gluten free toast with smashed avocado with feta topped with poached egg and hollandaise sauce. A taste sensation. Great atmosphere and even better coffee. I feel a new addiction coming on. Will go back and back and back.
So impressed. Good coffee, nice staff, delicious brownie!
The coffee here is fabulous and the staff are very friendly and helpful! Can't believe this place roasts their own beans they are the best I took some home with me!!!!
This is the best place in the burbs. Amazing coffee and amazing staff.
I have eaten here twice fir .... I have eaten here several times for breakfast & really enjoyed their food. We occasionally buy their roasted beans to take home as they're great. My only complaint is the staff are not always engaging, but apart from that, food is great.
Generally great coffee depends on barista. Pros: most of the time it is the best coffee in the area. Cons: very occasionally they had a male barista who uses stale beans and burns the milk. Wir: yes but keep an eye on the barista.
Excellent coffee. With a name like the chosen bean you are expecting good coffee and here it is outstanding. The cheesecake is also very good but adding to my waistline!! It has a cosy local atmosphere and the staff are very friendly but sometimes look stressed when it is very busy on a Sat morning. plenty of newspapers for reading whilst you drink, I like that !! 9/10 coffee cost $3.70 for a small.
Great Coffee. You go to a coffee cafe for great coffee. The Chosen Bean produces 'GREAT COFFEE'. The owner, Steve, roasts his own beans, pours an excellent cup and the resident drinkers can be very entertaining.
Good coffee. Like the coffee here
Great coffee, well proved food, excellent friendly service...... Nice micro roastery .... Worth coming to
