The Bean, Rozelle

Today I went back to this warm and friendly cafe with a friend - just to relax and catchup over a coffee after running a few errands nearby. We shared the french toast (delicious and perfect on a wintry day like it was today) and each had a coffee (always good) - and then just sat and enjoyed a chat without having to rush.

There's plenty of room if you are a big group, with a mix of tables sizes and a few with benches. It was pleasantly busy when we walked in - in the late-breakfast-morning-tea time - when we left it was then starting to have a more lunchtime feel.
If you're on your own you can find a book from the shelves that takes your fancy, or make use of the wi-fi if you need to . . . or just review all the album and movie posters adorning the walls. One thing I love about The Bean is the staff, they are always friendly, chatty and attentive.

So, in the interlude between most people (except us) leaving and more arriving, I managed a few pictures - if you like the look, here's where it is:

About Life Cafe, Rozelle

It's been in Rozelle for ages, in fact About Life started out in the shopfront opposite (now RedRoomDVD) - with lots of food & goodies packed into a tiny and bursting place. Happily, when it moved across the road, it just meant more space, and more goodies - and the cafe could serve more food and accommodate more people.

It's got room to move inside - with stools at window benches for individuals to perch, small tables & big tables - and even more room outside (undercover and with heaters). The indoor space is very light and airy - and all the windows open up in summer. It might only look onto a busy part of Darling St, but people watching is sometimes just as good as a view.

I stopped in for a morning coffee (rich & smooth) and some yummy carrot cake - and picked up some fruit & veg whilst I was there - so all in all, a successful outing.
