The Coffee Bean

During a time when there were few cafes in Ryde,The Coffee Bean secured its place as the social hub to be seen at.

It wasn’t just somewhere to have a coffee and a slice of cake, but was a social hub and treasured meeting place.

The flapjacks and scones were so popular that they will feature in the new cafe at Department.

Hear stories from those who worked or visited The Coffee Bean.
