BEAN & TABLE

Bean & Table is a café at 3/2 Trevillian Quay in Kingston, Canberra, serving breakfast, lunch and a wide drinks menu. It opens from 6.30am on weekdays and weekends, with later service until 3pm on Saturdays and Sundays, making it an option for an early coffee, breakfast or a relaxed weekend meal. The menu is described as featuring seasonal favourites, with choices that cover classic café staples as well as more substantial plates.

Breakfast ranges from toast, banana bread and coconut raspberry bread to dishes such as Eggs Your Way, a B&T Roll with bacon, egg and cheese, and a breakfast wrap with spinach, scrambled egg, tomato, bacon, caramelised onion and aioli. There are also more elaborate plates, including sautéed field mushrooms with spinach, fetta and sherry glaze; blueberry hotcakes with compote, ricotta, lemon curd and maple syrup; smashed avocado with poached eggs and salsa verde; and Eggs Benedict with a choice of salmon, bacon, ham or mushroom. The menu marks several dishes as gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian, vegan or suitable for adaptations, although guests with specific dietary needs should confirm the details when ordering.

Lunch includes a steak sandwich with potato salad, chicken and corn chowder, chermoula cauliflower with hummus and salad, a smoky chicken burrito bowl, and chicken mushroom risotto. The drinks list extends well beyond espresso coffee, covering long blacks, cappuccinos, flat whites, lattes, chai, matcha, turmeric lattes and loose-leaf tea. Cold options include cold brew, iced coffee, iced matcha, milkshakes, thickshakes, smoothies and fresh juices, including the venue’s Green Machine blend of apple, cucumber, kiwifruit, celery, ginger, spinach and lemon.

Bean & Table presents itself as a place centred on shared food and coffee, with customers welcomed to sit at its table. Its approach to sourcing is local: the café says it works with local artisans for bread, coffee, small goods, fruit and vegetables. That gives the venue a clear connection to its Kingston setting without overstating what the website tells us about the interior or atmosphere. With its all-day-style breakfast selection, hearty lunch choices and extensive beverage menu, it suits a solo coffee, a casual catch-up or a meal with family and friends. The café’s website lists phone and email contact details, which may be useful for checking current menu availability or dietary requirements before visiting.
