Wandered in from my food night's sleep into this cool little long cafe to grab a bite to eat and…read morecoffee! The barista understood the strange Perth habit of a Long Macchiato - which was great to hear. I grabbed the granola, which was balanced and not too sweet. The chunky clusters of oat, walnut, almond, apricot, and cranberry was crunchy yet chewy - the baked nature had not taken all the moisture away. Coffee ... the real reason to drop in... This was wonderful. Smooth. Delicate but fully flavoured. Bitter sweet notes with hints of caramel. Atmosphere is relaxed and very friendly. Definitely a good way to start my day.

Friendly, chill, and delicious. Staff was friendly, great way to start your day of travel.read more

The cafe's motto is "Organised Chaos" and , when busy, this is exactly how it feels. The cafe is run by Tony and John. John is always easy to spot as he is well over six foot and looks like Peter Garett. He enjoys chatting to regulars and is often spotted sitting at the tables doing just that. The coffee is good and one of my personal favourite drinks is the quince scented green sencha. Zuma's also serves a mean chai latte, however its size is not for the faint hearted so I usually order a half serve. This cafe is a great place to people watch. The clientele is mixed, ranging from alternative greenie types to lawyers and politicians. Either way, it has a cultured, multicultural vibe and there is nowhere else like it in Adelaide.

The menu is large and interesting enough with not too many "generic" options except the ones you want such as Chocolate Fondu for 2 or 4. I had a Banana, Peanut Butter, Cookies, Vanilla Custard, Creamy concoction in a jar which was topped with icecream very very delish and beautifully presented. My companions had waffles, ice-cream and a yummy chocolate and berry mousse/pudding. All were very pleased with their orders and there was a lot of "would you mind if I had a fork full?" going on. Coffee and desserts came out all together and our table was cleared in an appropriate amount of time after we had finished our plates. Being a group of 6 is probably a little too large for the small outdoor space on the sidewalk with round tables and various chair heights, but we made it work. The only down side to this spot is that the coffee is "good" not "awesome"

Luckily, a table had just left, with a quick clean of the table - we were seated. Decor - Candles! I love candlelit places at night, the chairs were also quite comfy, some places which have the same modern/sleek vibe to it like this place, have uncomfortable plastic or metal chairs, but we were seated in comfortable cushy bliss for your butt! We ordered - I had the Cherry Ripe Waffle and one of their 'house specialities' the St Louis Hot Chocolate' Waffles: I have to admit I was disappointed in the waffle, this is what pushed it down to 3 stars rather than 4. The waffle was warm, but it tasted like it had been reheated, or simply defrosted and stuck in a microwave. It wasn't crunchy or fresh, the texture was chewy and dry. I chose this dish because it mentioned white chocolate and almonds, it was presented on the plate, but the white chocolate tasted like melted white chocolate buttons from the local supermarket, too sugary and it hard almost hardened when I tried to scoop it up to put on my waffle. The 'French Vanilla Ice Cream' tasted distinctively like Bulla Vanilla ice cream. The cherries, and cherry glaze were delicious though. The Hot chocolate: Average more or less, it was a good hot chocolate, but I've had better in most other places, for a house special, again I was hoping for a bit more, but I might be a little harsh here, as my friend said he absolutely loved it. I'd order it again if I came here, and that is usually a good sign. They had free water available for patrons, in the water was such things as citrus; oranges, lemons, lychee, and strawberry, I thought that was a little fancy. It was a nice touch to the place. If I came here again, I'd avoid the waffles completely, as they were sub-par. But the venue is a nice place, with a positive atmosphere. Why no white hot chocolate? This makes me sad.

This is a new coffee and juice bar that has opened in Adelaide CBD, and I love it…read more They only appear to be open for breakfast and lunch, but when they are open, they are well worth a visit. They sell freshly squeezed juices that they serve in a screw top bottle, so they make the juice in the juicer, fresh, and then put it into a screw top bottle for you to take away. This would mean that you would be able to drink it later as it would not oxidise as quickly as juice that is not sealed. Their prices are very reasonable as well. I cant comment on their coffee as I am not drinking coffee at the moment - but for the juice - this is a definite must :)

The Coffee Bean Shop is where I purchase my Mexican Organic coffee when Ross the boss has it in…read morestock, which is most of the time. I've caught him out once or twice. When that has happened I do try other types of coffee from his available collection, but mostly it's the Mexican Organic I go for. Ross and his team have a very good range and even though it is an expensive item, some things in life just have to be right before I can deal with them. I do not like the effects of instant coffee on my system, I almost always end up with a stomach gripe if I drink instant coffee, and you simply don't want to know about that. So I usually drink plunger coffee, it is one of my special things in life I suppose. As far as The Coffee Bean Shop goes they stock a range of implements to create coffee in - mostly the little Italian stove-top espresso jugs, but I tend not to favour them because they are made from aluminium and I understand that too much aluminium heated and exposed to something you then drink can cause some brain function problems over time - just something I read that has stuck. That's why I plunge, but you know, the occasional aluminium jug espresso coffee is no big deal. They do the grinding for you if you need it done, and they use a range of coffee packets that are a nice plane brown bag, so its a pretty sustainable system. Their selection of products includes some pre-ground coffee beans in little plastic pails with a lid, a variety of fragrant and tasty teas, blends of the tea, and the coffee and tea making equipment I mentioned above plus other stuff and some specialty sweets that you'd have with a beverage, or give as a gift - try a chocolate coated coffee bean - wow!

I have been going to the Coffee Bean Shop for years now. The market stall only just recently had a…read moreface lift, and I am really happy for them! It looks amazing, they really did a great job. I am happy to see that this stall got updated as it is often one of the first stall you see when entering the Markets from the carpark escalators. The staff at this stall are always very friendly and happy to have a chat about the different varieties of coffee and what they taste like. You will find some amazing beans from all over the world. In particular my partner and I are quite fond of the Organic Mexican beans. Full flavour while being quite creamy and nutty. If you have a tighter budget, why not try their house blends. They are not too bad, the espresso blend is probably the best they offer in that range. If you need ground beans, they will grind them to the style that suits your brew equipment. We prefer to grind them at home to ensure that the coffee is fresh. If you are searching for a gift for a coffee lover, look no further! Purchase them an Aeropress which are sold here. They are a single cup air pressure plunger. They make the perfect brew away from home. My partner loves his and uses it at work every day!

Kaz makes them preservative free, She dries the fruit and you'll want to keep them all for "me." Can't you see how happy you will be? From flavours like Chocolate Rasberry Earl Grey to Apple Pie and Pumpkinpuss chai, Kaz is constantly experimenting with her batches of team and you can even play a part in suggesting some flavours via her Facebook page. All of her tea is organic and she selects all the ingredients and spices for blending herself. Kaz distributes direct from her website or you can also find her regularly at markets around Adelaide with her tea tastings and packs to sell. At only $6-8.50 per pack of 10 silk bags it makes a beautiful gift or a real treat at home. I also find you can often use the bags twice for just as lovely flavours.
