Lil'Bean Coffee Shop — Restaurant in New South Wales

Traumatising experience for myself and my daughter. I stopped by This cafe as I heard the profits go to Coast shelter next door there was a homeless man on the street and I asked him if he would like a coffee, as I reach the front of the line The lady told me I could not purchase a coffee for the homeless man. This made him upset and he explained he had had nothing to eat all day and argument ensued between the two of them with my nine-year-old daughter standing by clearly uncomfortable. While there may be history between the two it is the customers decision whether they purchase an item or not. People who love on the street deserve more compassion then what was demonstrated here. She kept telling me he couldn’t force people to buy things for him, which I told her he didn’t but she would not listen. The whole experience was horrible the coffee was also horrible and I will...

Went there this morning after dropping my partner off at the hospital. The attitude of the staff right off surprised me. The girl at the register was automatically surly and I had barely even said a word yet. Then at the end I was stupid enough to bring my plate in because that's what I always do at my local. The look I was given made me feel like an absolute fool. Fix your attitude guys. I work in customer service and I know it's not always fun but if a customer is friendly and polite to you there's no reason to be like this. Especially when you are connected to a hosptial - the people around there aren't going there for a fun day so have a little empathy because you DONT know what that person might be dealing...

Everything is to love about Lil'Bean Coffee Shop! Owner Owen and CC surely know their beans! They care about coffee and their customers, both, which makes for a memorable coffee-centric experience. You really feel welcome, to pull up a chair and catch up on your laptop, or leisurely read the morning papers ( without feeling guilty or rushed out the door). Discovering Lil'Bean Coffee Shop was one of the highlight of our travels on the Central Coast. A delightfully local cafe that's big on atmosphere. And the brew...well, CC served us coffee, the roast, blend and crema equal or supassing the best cafes we have frequented in Melbourne, Sydney or Auckland. Fantastic selection of bakery and a blackboard menu worthy...
