From the moment you step through the door, the ladies at Flick the Bean Café make you feel like family. Always incredibly friendly and ready with a smile, their warmth sets the tone for every visit. The café offers an impressive variety of both hot and cold selections, ensuring there’s something to satisfy every taste. Whether you’re in the mood for a classic coffee or craving something a little different, the staff is always happy to accommodate your needs. Plus, if you're in a rush, you can always phone ahead – they’ll take care of everything for you. I recently called last minute for salads for our Christmas party, and the team at Flick the Bean went above and beyond. Despite the short notice, they delivered the salads right on time, and they were a huge hit with everyone. Thank you, beautiful ladies, for always delivering such exceptional service! I’ll definitely be back!

I came to this wonderful cafe while waiting for my car to be serviced, I had a classic big breakfast. It was delicious, eggs cooked perfectly and reasonably priced. as a young ‘inner city flog’ it was a so refreshing…But that’s nothing compared to how great the service is! Everyone is so lovely, accommodating and professional. I couldn’t be happier with a service and business. Well done ladies!

I first heard of this place years ago but figured it was just a mythical place. Imagine my surprise when I stumbled across it. I couldn't find it when I searched but sure was glad when it was located by accident. I noticed that it was all females there, apparently they did not have a problem finding this sweet little spot. Would recommend. Will be going there again...if I can find it.
