Best breakfast and lunch in town! Awesome selection of drinks, the cold brew popcorn latte is so good! Pork belly Benny yummy! If you haven’t been you’re missing out.

Cindy and her team at the Bean Tree catered for our function in the Botanic Gardens. It was a wonderful night with good food and excellent service. We were visiting from out of town and the whole event was organized by phone and e-mail. We couldn’t be happier.

A great little cafe in the middle of the Botanic Gardens. The food is surprisingly good. It can get really busy at lunch, it's a good idea to get an ETA once you make your order. There are many birds trying to steal food from the tables. Please avoid feeding them as it makes them sick.

That outlook is lovely and peaceful, lots of seating space. Really enjoyed the quietness on a Friday morning. The food and coffee was ok, nothing to rave about, but still enjoyable.

Delicious hot chocolate for the kids and a long black for me. Mudcake and banana bread were delicious too. Nice atmosphere, with seating outside either in the shade of the trees or in the sun.
