Inside a generous seating area, thick plywood tables, with black overlay, the chairs and stools are a blond wood, the ceiling is set off in grey. As a feature thick black plywood used on the tables, are built into the ceiling in strips, with light shades hanging from them. This has created a very modern appealing, functional dining area. Placed around the walls are some good art photo's. The menu is packed with a large range of food options, all at affordable prices. We enjoyed an Argo omelette, with shallots, mushrooms, chilli, diced tomato, baby spinach leaves & provolone cheese, served with organic rye bread. Our order was well prepared, with out a great delay and served by very attentive friendly staff. We finished our breakfast with a good coffee, relaxed and could well understand how this Cafe is so busy.

Barista in action

Trendy Cafe right in the heart of Adelaide CBD. Lots of "alternative" options for those with food allergies for milk options alone include - full fat, skim, lactose free, rice milk, coconut milk, almond milk & soy. The menu is super user friendly with an easy to follow format. Lots of keys indicating the gluten free, vegan and vego options. Staff are casually dressed with the standard full body butchers aprons. Baristas have a hipster vibe and the coffee is YUM! and looks great too. My only negatives are that it is a touch on the expensive side and the artificial plasticky plants that are covering the back wall and hanging from the ceiling really detract from the otherwise "organic" type atmosphere.

I love love love this place! it's always one of my first choices when I want a good breakfast. Their food is fresh and not the typical egg benedict. They have many vegan and vegetarian options which are so delicious that you won't even know that it's missing something. Similarly, they have lots of healthy options that are also so delicious that you wouldn't know that it's good for you! :-) Honestly, all the food I've ever had here is fantastic. The staff are great, the coffee is great, the food is great - everything is great! Go there, you won't regret it!

The Carribean Burger

I've always had a love for this Cafe. Although it can be very busy and bustling at times, there is good reason! And not to worry, there is plenty of seating. The interior is trendy and upbeat.The staff are always so friendly and don't fail to greet you with a smile; perfectly matching the cool ambience. The food and drinks selection includes a large variety of healthy alternatives, whilst some amazing not so healthy options! It's great that it caters for many tastes, and the gluten free alternatives and other food intolerance options are growing to accommodate. The juice selection is a favourite of mine, it's extensive and so refreshing after a big weekend, catering for the need to detox, or simply to cool you down in the summer months. My personal go-to is the green Hulk. The burger menu is also excellent, offering a range of healthier variances for the health conscious. I recently tried the Carribean which included grilled Chicken, pineapple and a Rye bun - my fave! Serving sizes are very generous and pricing makes all items good value for money. All in all, one of my staples for this side of town and never fails to disappoint.

Smashed Avocado, with lemon, basil, mint and Danish feta on kibbed rye, topped with tomato, corn and onion salsa.

I have visited on a number of occasions in various sized groups and also 1:1 and I have loved it…read moreeach and every each time. The menu is large and interesting enough with not too many "generic" options except the ones you want such as Chocolate Fondu for 2 or 4. I had a Banana, Peanut Butter, Cookies, Vanilla Custard, Creamy concoction in a jar which was topped with icecream very very delish and beautifully presented. My companions had waffles, ice-cream and a yummy chocolate and berry mousse/pudding. All were very pleased with their orders and there was a lot of "would you mind if I had a fork full?" going on. Coffee and desserts came out all together and our table was cleared in an appropriate amount of time after we had finished our plates. Being a group of 6 is probably a little too large for the small outdoor space on the sidewalk with round tables and various chair heights, but we made it work. The only down side to this spot is that the coffee is "good" not "awesome"

Upon entering here, they were very busy - despite being busy we were acknowledged by the friendly…read morestaff instantly, and seated within a few moments of waiting, without a booking. Luckily, a table had just left, with a quick clean of the table - we were seated. Decor - Candles! I love candlelit places at night, the chairs were also quite comfy, some places which have the same modern/sleek vibe to it like this place, have uncomfortable plastic or metal chairs, but we were seated in comfortable cushy bliss for your butt! We ordered - I had the Cherry Ripe Waffle and one of their 'house specialities' the St Louis Hot Chocolate' Waffles: I have to admit I was disappointed in the waffle, this is what pushed it down to 3 stars rather than 4. The waffle was warm, but it tasted like it had been reheated, or simply defrosted and stuck in a microwave. It wasn't crunchy or fresh, the texture was chewy and dry. I chose this dish because it mentioned white chocolate and almonds, it was presented on the plate, but the white chocolate tasted like melted white chocolate buttons from the local supermarket, too sugary and it hard almost hardened when I tried to scoop it up to put on my waffle. The 'French Vanilla Ice Cream' tasted distinctively like Bulla Vanilla ice cream. The cherries, and cherry glaze were delicious though. The Hot chocolate: Average more or less, it was a good hot chocolate, but I've had better in most other places, for a house special, again I was hoping for a bit more, but I might be a little harsh here, as my friend said he absolutely loved it. I'd order it again if I came here, and that is usually a good sign. They had free water available for patrons, in the water was such things as citrus; oranges, lemons, lychee, and strawberry, I thought that was a little fancy. It was a nice touch to the place. If I came here again, I'd avoid the waffles completely, as they were sub-par. But the venue is a nice place, with a positive atmosphere. Why no white hot chocolate? This makes me sad.

The Coffee Bean Shop is where I purchase my Mexican Organic coffee when Ross the boss has it in…read morestock, which is most of the time. I've caught him out once or twice. When that has happened I do try other types of coffee from his available collection, but mostly it's the Mexican Organic I go for. Ross and his team have a very good range and even though it is an expensive item, some things in life just have to be right before I can deal with them. I do not like the effects of instant coffee on my system, I almost always end up with a stomach gripe if I drink instant coffee, and you simply don't want to know about that. So I usually drink plunger coffee, it is one of my special things in life I suppose. As far as The Coffee Bean Shop goes they stock a range of implements to create coffee in - mostly the little Italian stove-top espresso jugs, but I tend not to favour them because they are made from aluminium and I understand that too much aluminium heated and exposed to something you then drink can cause some brain function problems over time - just something I read that has stuck. That's why I plunge, but you know, the occasional aluminium jug espresso coffee is no big deal. They do the grinding for you if you need it done, and they use a range of coffee packets that are a nice plane brown bag, so its a pretty sustainable system. Their selection of products includes some pre-ground coffee beans in little plastic pails with a lid, a variety of fragrant and tasty teas, blends of the tea, and the coffee and tea making equipment I mentioned above plus other stuff and some specialty sweets that you'd have with a beverage, or give as a gift - try a chocolate coated coffee bean - wow!

I have been going to the Coffee Bean Shop for years now. The market stall only just recently had a…read moreface lift, and I am really happy for them! It looks amazing, they really did a great job. I am happy to see that this stall got updated as it is often one of the first stall you see when entering the Markets from the carpark escalators. The staff at this stall are always very friendly and happy to have a chat about the different varieties of coffee and what they taste like. You will find some amazing beans from all over the world. In particular my partner and I are quite fond of the Organic Mexican beans. Full flavour while being quite creamy and nutty. If you have a tighter budget, why not try their house blends. They are not too bad, the espresso blend is probably the best they offer in that range. If you need ground beans, they will grind them to the style that suits your brew equipment. We prefer to grind them at home to ensure that the coffee is fresh. If you are searching for a gift for a coffee lover, look no further! Purchase them an Aeropress which are sold here. They are a single cup air pressure plunger. They make the perfect brew away from home. My partner loves his and uses it at work every day!
