Lovely little hub in the hospital. Great food. Friendly staff/service. Brekky wrap was beautiful, fresh juice was perfect. And the decaf capp was one of the best I’ve had. (Including Sydney). Definitely recommend.

What an absolutely great find! The coffee was done perfectly and cheerfully. I had an appointment nearby and arrived a little bit early so I decided to get a coffee. This little hole in the wall is an absolute gem! There is limited seating but it’s perfect for a quick cuppa and a toaster! The Vegemite Scroll I had was amazing! I had it warmed and the added crunch made the ubiquitous Aussie pastry perfect!

Friendly cafe, good coffe and lovely service. It was quite busy while I was there and obviously a favourite with return customers.

Walked past at 7:40am. Ordered a skinny flat white and a freshly baked muffin. Both were excellent. Great place to get a coffee and definitely get a muffin.

A good coffee shop should have two things - great coffee and great staff. Lil'Bean has both, and delicious food, which is probably why it always has a line up. It's a cosy little joint and well worth a visit or a detour if you're around the area. Owner/operator Owen will see that you're looked after.
