The BEST DIRTY CHAI’S IN MELBOURNE!!! The best coffees all round! The best warm gorgeous and bubbly service - very hard to find - haven’t had service this great since the 90’s and 00’s!! The atmosphere is perfect - not mainstream or commercial. Cute and cosy - perfect!! If I could review it with 10 stars - I definitely would

We love coming to our longtime favourite local King Bean. Anna, Andrew, Barista extraordinaire Minay, Phoebe and Tallulah create such a welcoming friendly vibe for all who enter. Service is quick. Our choice of vegetarian tucker is very well catered for by the chef and that’s a plus. Maybe see you there

I ordered the Eggs Florentine, and it was cooked to perfection—every component was delicious and well-prepared. I was so impressed with the meal that I forgot to take any photos, but trust me, it was an outstanding breakfast. The coffee was equally excellent and expertly made. I will definitely be returning.

Met 3 friends for brunch today at the cafe and we all enjoyed our meals and drinks. The service was initially a little slow but after our orders were placed the staff were attentive and friendly. We all went for various breakfast options, two photos attached. The prices were reasonable and the portions were generous. Occasionally it was a little noisy with groups of kids but that's to be expected on a Saturday. I'd happily eat there again.

Nice little cafe. Food was all tasty and service was friendly but.... not very efficient - we got wrong foods, had to wait for correct order, some dirty cutlery they forgot to replace when asked, and 1 item was overcharged. Loved the little terrarium setup and splashes of nature

I recently visited a cafe that I would describe as having decent prices, decent food, and decent service. Overall, I had a good experience there. First, let me start with the prices. The cafe offered a wide variety of food and drink options, and I was pleasantly surprised to see that most of them were reasonably priced. I didn't feel like I was breaking the bank by ordering a meal and a drink, which is always a plus. When it came to the food, I would say that it was decent. The menu wasn't particularly adventurous, but the dishes I tried were tasty enough. I had the eggs benedict, and it was satisfying. I wouldn't necessarily go out of my way to eat there again, but I wouldn't hesitate to stop by if I was in the area and needed a quick bite. Finally, the service was also decent. The staff were friendly and my order was prepared quickly. I didn't have any issues or complaints in that regard. All in all, I would recommend this cafe if you're looking for a casual spot to grab a bite to eat. The prices are fair, the food is decent, and the service is good enough to make you feel welcome. It may not be the most memorable dining experience you'll ever have, but it's a solid choice for an affordable and satisfying meal.

Nice little Cafe. We were warmly greeted as soon as we entered. For an early Sunday morning it was busy, which is always a good sign. The coffee was nice. We had a latte and a cappuccino. Latte was perfect. The cappuccino was a bit milky for my liking but still delicious. The guy making them was cute which was a bonus. Haha The food was perfect and delicious. We left full and will definitely be back. Another hidden gem in a good location
