Bean Bar
Bean Bar cafes are all over Adelaide and they all seem to be pretty much the same. On this occasion I visited the Pirie St cafe and ordered a takeaway flat white. The first thing I noticed was that they didn’t overheat the coffee as so many places seem to do these days! The first sip didn’t burn my mouth and the taste was quite smooth and appealing. I could have one of these every day I think but its nothing to get too excited about!

I get the feeling this place is owned by an old Italian dude - feels very typical for an “Ad-italian” cafe. I had a takeaway flat white and it was pretty damn good. One of the best I’ve had in a while actually. A slightly bitter aftertaste that lingered…

Funk Coffee + Food
139 Frome St, Adelaide SA 5000, Australia
Typical captive-audience, bottom-of-an-office-block café. Pretty good toasted sandwiches, drinkable but unremarkable coffee.

Lunch Room
132 Grenfell St, Adelaide SA 5000, Australia
Casual, friendly atmosphere. Among the better take away coffee options in the area.
Keep in mind that there’s usually a bit of a line up during peak times.

Stop H Grenfell St - Northern side, Adelaide SA 5000, Australia
Decent long black, well presented but nothing fancy. Would prefer a premium bean option. Great location and very nice atmosphere.
Correct name is “Avila”.

Nice breakfast wrap. Shame about the coffee and unfriendly service. Won’t be going back there for awhile.
