Whilst maybe not as 'cool' as the plethora of hipster cafes in Richmond, it is certainly friendly, reliable and surprisingly great food and coffee. Plenty of seating, and genuine service with a smile.
Took a gamble on this place for breakfast and had a really great experience. My decaf coffee tasted like real coffee (hooray!) and had nice smooth milk. Eggs were poached beautifully and my partner really enjoyed his smashed avo - it was so much food he couldn't finish it all! Then we were presented with a hot brownie on the house for "waiting so long" - even though our wait had only been about 15 minutes (not that long for city cafes). It was delicious beyond belief. Will be back for sure next time we're in Richmond.
Hooray -- it's open early!. The best thing about Full of Beans is that it's open at 6 a.m. That's before anything else on this stretch of Bridge Road, including the shopping centre it's a part of. Workers who get other places ready to go, and those of us starting 0700 shifts at hospitals, need our coffee! The mug of flat white I had here wasn't the greatest. It was on the bitter side from over-espressing. And the pastry selection isn't fantastic, but I'm picky. I had a blueberry crumble slice so I could pretend I was having a serve of fruit. It tasted better than the coffee. The young baristas who were working in the pre-dawn coolness got it ready quickly and I was off to a morning on the cancer ward at the Epowrth, fully conscious.
Great coffee, good food and friendly staff.
