Great coffee and pancakes that would make even the strongest-willed person cheat on their diet.

Sunday 7th April 2019 at 1pm. This is the best cafe in the Harp Junction area. The coffee was well presented, but lack a taste that left an impression. The Green Eggs & Ham and the Arancini balls were both tasty meals 😊 We will be back 👍🏻

Always really good, tasty food presented well and the staff always seem to be cheerful and friendly. Haven’t yet had a bad experience, even when the cafe is busy. Would recommend.

The Bean Thief cafe is a fantastic cafe! The atmosphere is great and the staff are very friendly and nice people.The set up of the cafe is great but can get quite squashy when busy. I ordered a latte and for breakfast I ordered the dish called The Avocado which had Avocado, beetroot, poached eggs and two slices of sourdough. The food was very good but the eggs were a little cold but still good. The cafe is a great place to grab a coffee and some food, it is also in a great location.

This is a definite go to cafe for my family! They have a great a variety of sweets in the window display especially scones and muffins which are my go to when I don’t feel like a big breakfast. Their menu is great too as they have a range of options. I have had the veggie burger and porridge which I both really enjoyed. Their coffees are really good too!

What a delightful local cafe! I came here for brunch recently with a group on a Sunday morning and we had a lovely time at The Bean Thief. Bigger than it appears on the outside, the cafe extends out into a courtyard (where we were seated) which has a wonderful homely, cosy feel to it. The menu is fairly traditional and suits the location and decor. I chose the muesli which was one of the best ones I’ve had in a while! The lemon curd that it came with was so so good and the Greek yogurt (served on the side) cut through the sweetness. I‘ll definitely come back to enjoy another sunny weekend in their beautiful courtyard with some quality food.

Nicely fitted out place. Another converted shop that feels for all the world like it should always have been a cute little cafe. Had another gorgeous coffee here. Another barista who is clearly right on the ball. You could go for months anywhere overseas and not taste coffees as good as I found in this area today about half a kilometre in distance and one hour in time apart. Impressive. In addition, there was a good people feel here at this cafe. I had the door opened for me with a big smiling greeting. The young servers too were happy, polite and impressively efficient. They were not only nice to customers but to each other as well in their spare moments, always a good sign I feel. On instagram you’d pop places like The Bean Thief up with a melbourneiloveyou hashtag. It’s a beauty. I shall return.

Great coffee and yummy breakfast. Very generous servings and 1 meal was enough for my son and I. Friendly staff and comfortable surroundings. Really love the outdoor setting which is also dog friendly. Not much to fault except we only had 30 mins to enjoy our meal.
