The portions were reasonable, the food was delicious, and they offered a great selection of organic products, fresh juices, and excellent service. We will definitely miss Broad Bean!

It's the only place in Melbourne I feel 100% confident that what I'm eating is great for me.

So instead of ice cream and croissants, I'm stuffing my face with smoothies, raw desserts and salads. The obligatory hot soup and pies during the cold days are a no-brainer. If it's coffee that you're after, there's organic Allpress beans served here. But why drink coffee when you can get a smoothie with a shot of espresso? Double yum!

Everything is not only organic but also locally sourced, particularly the fresh stuff (meat, veggies, fruit). They respect the seasonal cycles so you'll only find fruit and vegetables that are in season. Juices are ultra tasty, obviously, as all are made with premium ingredients. Coffee is also very good and organic, I usually order espresso and it's good. Prices are high as it always is when you buy organic+local but it's worth it. Staff is always kind and helpful. Very happy to live a short 10-min walk from here!

The coffee is top-notch, with a solid 10/10 rating for its consistency and strength (don't forget to try the creme!). The staff are friendly, and there is a cool little grocery inside that offers fresh, organic produce along with standard organic and health food items. I highly recommend this place - it is my favorite coffee shop in Southbank.
