The Green Bean Store + Café

Fantastic lunch options. 3 delicious salads, lots of meat and vegetarian options. Pretty good selection of produce and some frozen and refrigerated foods. Dry good shelves were quite empty. A bit of health and beauty products.

Everything on the menu is made fresh daily with organically sourced produce. The menu has many choices with ample raw, gluten free, vegan and vegetarian options. I decided on the Frittata of the Day with salad ($ 17.50). Like any good frittata it was crammed full of delicious vegetables and very tasty. Served with three gorgeous salads and spicy tomato relish, it disappeared from my plate very quickly. Mmm. L went with the Zucchini Soup ($ 11.50). She found it flavoursome, rich and very filling. It smelt wonderful, and you could tell it was homemade. It looked very hearty.
Even though L was stuffed after her soup, she couldn’t pass up a Raw Cacao Ball ($ 3.95). We shared the sweet treat, and it was the perfect finish to our lovely meal. I also left a very happy lady after picking up some organic tea by the English Tea Shop at half the price I normally pay at our local deli. Score. Even E was impressed, and she’s the fussiest of the fussy. You know you’ve found a winner when E leaves in a good mood, haha.

Beautiful lunch enjoyed at the green bean, the staff are super friendly and perfectly attentive.

I’d never been to an organic café before, so this was quite an experience. The menu was quite limited; an assortment of toasties, fruit toast, smoothies and exotic organic coffee. I ordered an avocado, tomato & cheese toastie only to be lectured about tomatoes being out of season. The waitress offered to make organic poached eggs on sourdough with avocado instead.
I got a banana smoothie with my breakfast and it was incredibly filling and so delicious. I’m not sure I could taste the difference between organic and «normal», but it was yum and for only $ 20 and to walk out incredibly full, I was impressed.
The store is cool to walk around too, with plenty of local made bread and the usual organic fruit & vegetables.
