I had a somewhat uncomfortable experience at Butter Bean recently. After I requested a coffee in a 'to go' cup, specifying that I would be sitting down to enjoy some of it, I settled in with my drink. Then, a different staff member came out to clear tables and loudly questioned her colleague in front of everyone about whether "this man has paid for his coffee to sit in." She could have approached me directly, but instead, she implied in a rather rude way that I might be trying to be cheap, with other patrons listening. It felt quite disrespectful, in my opinion.
I had walked past this place a couple of times and didn’t pay that much attention, however, after a friends recommendation I tried it out and I was not disappointed! Everyone who works there is super friendly and the veggie breakfast (I chose without eggs) was delicious. I have been multiple times, so have also enjoyed The cheese and veggiemite scone, it was a bit unusual but tasty. Milk alternatives available for coffee and it’s good coffee, note the large coffee is very large! They are following COVID guidelines.
Started working in the area a month ago and chanced upon this lovely cafe two weeks ago, I’ve not been anywhere else since! It’s an independent business full of flavour both in terms of the coffee and the people that work there. They serve some delicious coffee and a DIVINE banana bread. Also have loads of Aussie Kiwi tidbits, how can I ever say no to TimTams man!! 10/10 would recommend
The coffee here is exceptional and well worth the price given the dedication that goes into its production. The food always looks delicious, especially the baked goods, which I’m eager to try. It's a great spot that surpasses chain restaurants, as long as you can get a seat!

We are on our annual trip from New Zealand to visit family in Richmond, and we always make sure to stop by Butter Beans for coffee. I'm happy to report that the coffee is still outstanding, and the roasted muffin is fantastic as well.
I absolutely loved this restaurant! The pancakes were delicious, and I appreciated that they could make them dairy-free. The coffee was excellent, and the staff were friendly and quick. Overall, it was a fantastic experience!
