There Are Many Coffee Shops But...
... there's only one place in Crows Nest that I'd go to have coffee for the sake of the coffee itself, and that's Bean Drinking. It's in Ernest Place near the Professor Plum's shop full of cute toys. The coffee there is seriously awesome.
Being a long black drinker, I'm pretty sensitive to over-roasting and crap beans and sour coffees. There's absolutely none of that with Bean Drinking. The baristas there are pretty spot on, and the service is good, even by local standards. The staff are friendly, and the vibe is relaxed.
If that's not enough to convince you, their beans are 'fairtrade' beans so it's relatively guilt free. If you're slogging cups of Vittoria during the week at work like I do, it's very noticeable when you sip on the sacred black juice of the caffeine gods. The caffeine gods smile from the ceiling saying "good java..." well, maybe not. But you know what I mean.
They've also won some awards for sustainable coffee so that's a plus for every eco-conscious coffee -sipper.
If you happen to be in Crows Nest and you like your coffee rich, strong and flavorsome, Bean Drinking is the place in Crows Nest.

I came across this posting re Bean Drinking, and just wanted to say a big thank you.
ReplyDeleteIt is fantastic for both the staff and myself when we get customers who really enjoy our coffee and spread the word about what we are doing.
For the past 4 years we have been delivering sustainable coffee, whether it be organic, fairtrade, rainforest alliance or co-operatively grown, and attempting to educate consumers as to what coffee can really taste like. Its good to know that there are folks out there that dig what we are doing.
So to you and all your blogs readers, next time you are in Crows Nest, come in and check us out, and be sure to mention you heard about us via Good Food Heaven and that Keith said you could have a coffee on the house!
