Mean Bean Coffee

It's a rather small shop with random items but the specialty food items and drinks was what caught my attention. Along side a wall, they had all these unique beers and spirits that I had to check out. Upon further inspection, I found the Bundaberg Ginger Beer that I fell in love with when visiting New Zealand last year. I haven't really looked super hard for it back home but I've often craved it. Seeing it on vacation just got me excited to pick it up and share with the hubby and friend we were visiting. I also picked up a pear cider that was made local. I believe the name was Finn River Cider. It was a little too tart for my liking and most of it went to waste but it was worth a try. The owner was very friendly and noted they just celebrated their 1 year anniversary. Here's to many, many more years of success!

Have been back for their tapas menu three more times (would be four but they were unexpectedly closed one night) and still need to come for breakfast. Prices are great. Food is fresh. Maria, your host/server/floor show is the best. Family owned and staffed. Open kitchen so you can see the magic happen. Brisket, Coconut Shrimp, stuffed dates, olives, the BEST butternut squash risotto. And the most amazing cheese cake to finish it all off if you have room and they haven't run out.

Plan to go again before I leave town.

The line was long but moved fairly quickly. However, the shape of the cafe doesn't help to make a streamlined queue... it's crowded and a bit confusing as to who's standing to order and who's waiting to pick theirs up. Nonetheless, I was excited to see the options in their pastry case and on their menu. The bigger case had mostly a bunch of quiche and savory options, while a smaller one had sweets. I ordered the salmon quiche because I've never seen that anywhere else so hello, gotta try it! I also got the Arancia (basically an orange mocha) because I love the combination of chocolate and citrus. I appreciated that the worker communicated well and told us the quiche would take 10 minutes to warm up. My husband got an Ethiopian light roast pour over, which was cool to see being made on an apparatus that looked like it had space for about five pour overs at once. Opinions on what we got: Ethiopian Light Roast- Flavorful, just a bit lighter than others I've tried, and it didn't go sour with time. Very good! Arancia- Holy cow this was delicious and I would definitely get it again. Keep in mind, the orange peel was actually in my cup and I was surprised when all of a sudden I was chewing on something and pulled it out of my mouth! But it does say "orange peel" in the description on the menu, so I should've known. Salmon Quiche- A bit pricy but wonderful! The quiche itself was well seasoned, & the salmon was evenly distributed. My only complaint is that the crust was quite difficult to cut with a plastic knife. We were on their patio, so we had to go back inside to grab a metal butterknife (of course we returned it). Tamale Pie- Oh yeah! We left to walk around town then decided we were way too curious about a tamale pie in the case that we were eyeing earlier, so we returned to get that to go. Unfortunately, this was a big disappointment. First off, this was the same price as the salmon quiche but the quality seemed so much worse. It didn't taste good, was unevenly cooked (mostly dry), and the crust was hard as rock. I even put taco sauce on top from a pack we had in the car. It helped to make it taste a little better. Would never get this again, though. Overall, I really enjoyed Better Living Through Coffee and will be sure to return on my next visit to try other quiches and drinks.
