"That outlook is lovely and peaceful, lots of seating space. Really enjoyed the quietness on a Friday morning. The food and coffee was ok, nothing to rave about, but still enjoyable."

"Cindy and her team at the Bean Tree catered for our function in the Botanic Gardens. It was a wonderful night with good food and excellent service.
We were visiting from out of town and the whole event was organized by phone and e-mail. We couldn’t be happier."
