Grumpy Bean Cafe — Restaurant in Sydney

So my partner and I found this cafe just randomly while driving about, decided to give it a go since we've tried a few places within the Leichhardt main streets.

This cafe has a pretty nice menu with very traditional brekkie options along with some interesting Asian ones. But I settled on one of their specials; a scrambled eggs with goats cheese and chutney. Individually the components had strong flavours, but the combination of the savoury chutney on the toast with roasted tomatoes and scrambled eggs was well coordinated with a blissful hit of salty goat's cheese coming through. And their coffee was pretty nice and strong without being overly acidic.

My only gripe was the time we waited for the food which was about 30mins. One's experience with this cafe may vary though, as I do think the food was worth the wait, just not within my circumstance where I had something on and had to swallow the food without enjoying it.

Overall, a good recommend for a quiet residential cafe, but I would also suggest to leave some time in so you can enjoy the food...

Extremely rude staff even to regular customers. Make sure you don’t stay longer than 20 minutes after your meal unless you want to be abruptly told to leave which is what happened to me. Awful attitude. Will not be returning - plenty of other business owners who care about their customers elsewhere.

Edit to respond to owners response: You make the point you missed out on a table for 4-5 customers but there were 2 x 4 person tables empty next to me when you asked me to leave. You also have a similar review from a customer from a few days ago with the same issue and you say “had you ordered something I wouldn’t have had an issue with you working there” - I did order something and hadn’t been seated there for 45 minutes when you requested I leave. Your comments back to many other bad reviews over time have shown it’s never your fault and only the customers fault. I don’t understand why you would want to be in hospitality in a customer facing role with the attitude you bring to...

These are the kind of people who bring their laptop thinking it's there office and spend hours working on their laptop shame on you people. I have been there with my sister multiple time never had any issues always been respectful. They are there for business not do deal with these nonsense. This is not your workplace. Go to your office and do your things. You would not take out your laptop in fancy restaurants will you. Same goes here. Come to enjoy food and coffee. And btw never had any issues with any coffee or food. Trying to make up things that is not true. Rather than supporting local business writing this fake review is a shame. This place is absolutely amazing have been there multiple times in these past 5 years never had any issue. Go home and then make yourself something if you have that...
