Bean Drinking

Best Eggs Benedict w smoked salmon I have had in a long time. And the tea is gorgeous. Will go back for more!

We came on Saturday morning, and we were attracted by a lovely band in the shop. We ordered a coffee and a big breakfast later as we really enjoyed the atmosphere and the store owner is really friendly and funny!

The coffee is very good, we really like the taste! I recommend it! The big breakfast is big and pretty tasty as well. Would love to come again. :)

Great cafe overlooking the green 'square,' perfect to have the dog/some prams/parent get together with the kids running around on the grass etc.
FOOD: Amazing array of salads, sandwiches, wraps, dishes etc with ample vegan, vegetarian and gluten free options... And yes they're very gf aware👌 They even have a lovely assortment of gf cakes and slices (not the typical orange almond meal item most non gf places have).
Very fresh and well plated up.
PRICES: Very reasonable, think $10-20 for most meals.
STAFF: Absolutely lovely. They didn't seem to know the menu much but were happy to help out where they could.
INTERIOR: Rustic modern vibe with lots of seating available.
ACCESSIBILITY: Bathrooms and cafe are both wheelchair/walker/pram accessible. The toilets are located opposite, in the Crows Nest Community centre, via a ramp. Parking available at the local pay station for free for a couple of hours or street parking available. It's right near a corner lane which makes it easy to drop people off before parking too. Bus stops, 1 minute walk away.
OVERALL: Would definitely recommend and will be back with friends.

More than just great coffee. The coffee is amazingly good, but this is expected from any Cafe in Crows Nest. The lunch options are a pleasant surprise and every dish had well above expectation. Highly recommended and not just for great coffee!

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.

The Angus Burger (with bacon) is definitely in the top 5 burgers I've had in my life. I was not expecting that, it being a random unplanned brunch choice and then BAM! Hot dayum those sauces and relish and the beef and the bacon all combined for an incredible burger and there is no way I can walk away and not post a review soecifically for that burger.

Literally the best mushroom & prosciutto Jaffa’s I’ve ever had

Chai latte was great, the staff were very friendly and helpful. I was able to just sit at the cafe all morning working on my laptop. Great ambience, the majors and pigeons that enter the shop provide some entertainment as they are ushered back out by the staff. Overall great experience.

Pet friendly, good coffee, and good food
Love this place!!!!!

Bean Drinking has been consistently one of the best coffee houses in Crows Nest for several years. Staff are friendly (special call out to Scott) and focused.
Atmosphere is cozy, and the inside seating area is comfortable. Tables can be slightly cramped outside, but that is mostly a function of the outside space.
Breakfast choices are decent and tasty.

Great coffee at great location next to a park and a kindergarten. These small tarts are delicious with a flat white.

A nice deal of cool variety food big breakfast and having band singing this is around the corner inside the restaurant , slow past restaurant , good coffeeperfect place to chill and chat , starting a nice day in the weekend walk all near by walk , perfect still perfect.

It’s getting hard to find cafes that serve Allpress coffee beans 🫘 now. I love that taste, just right on the aroma, and after taste.

Great place, once they closed the doors and we were WARM! Great staff, AMAZING pour over coffee and great breakfast. Wouldn’t have stayed if they didn’t close the massive windows - Who likes cold food and coffee???

Yay! So glad this place has started doing dinner. Owner is lovely, service great and dinner menu delicious and reasonably priced. BYO as well!

Belgian waffles with maples Seretse Khama, savory bacon, eggs, and sprinkle cheese is fantastic! Can’t go wrong pairing with a Mimosa.

A great local spot for excellent coffee and tasty food. Lots of outdoor seating, lovely owners and a friendly welcoming vibe 😊

I discovered this place a few years ago. Have recently re-discovered it and must say they serve absolutely amazing coffee. To me, a measure of good quality is to be able to make a "large" (and these guys do a seriously large serving) coffee and make it work without me having to ask for a slightly weak version. Will keep coming back, for sure!

Really enjoyed my breakfast and coffee, besides the earthy vibes were really fantastic as well.

Oh what a cafe!!!!

Perfect setting, coffee, staff, crowd. The best around crows nest and st. Leonards

What's more, you get filter coffee as well if you're into that ( tastes very close to Indian filter coffee)
