Three Beans Cafe - Hunters Hill

I have been to Three Beans several times over the past 12 months - around once per month. The food is excellent and the service is great. I love that they do all day breakfasts. I'm not a coffee drinker but my husband raves about the coffee.

When this cafe opened a couple of years ago they had IT outages with cash registers, inability to take orders via ipads due to system crashes and if you sat outside to dine you were forgotten by staff and on it went. Recently visited again against my better judgement and now incompetent staff can be included. Started with waitress saying, " the tables a mess" as we sat down but then having to be asked 5 minutes later to clean it. Then took our order but didn't write it down..returning minutes later asking us to repeat our order so she could get it right. Suggested she write it down only to discover 20 minutes later she forgot to submit the order! Reordered and waited another 20 minutes for everyone to then be served the same meal even though everyone ordered a different meal !! Basil Fawlty couldn't have written this script.My advice don't bother. Service appalling, food only average, coffee a pass.

My brother and I attended the cafe on Sunday and both arrived at 9am, the cafe was not very busy, but not many staff on. We waited until 9:15am for someone to take our order, further we waited until 9:45am for our very easy drinks milkshake and smoothie, to arrive after my brother asking how our drinks were going and getting no facial movement at all from the rude waitress, she did not even speak to us, she just walked away. Then finally at 10am, so 45min later our food arrived with my turkish bread supposed to be toasted was luke warm and not really toasted and my brothers big breakfast included 2 small pieces of toast, 1 slice of tomato, a few mushrooms, 2 eggs, and just 1 sausage!!! not really a big breakfast for $20!! We both live in and around this area and we could be regular customers, however the slow and rude service will result of us not returning and supporting the other buzzing lovely cafes in the vicinity such as Chicos, cafe 47 and the dashound cafe. VERY DISAPPOINTING for a cafe in a central spot with fantastic rich ( in both senses of the word) cliental willing to pay good money for good service and yummy food, however this cafe is DEFINITELY not using this advantage at all!!

Very friendly and helpful staff. The food was excellent. Very clean and well presented establishment.

Warmly greeted and felt welcome. Breakfast was sooooooo good. Yummy and full of greens. Ordered scrambled egg and didn't get a load I couldn't manage to eat but a single egg. Perfect!
