Caffe Cherry Beans

Caffe Cherry Beans brings its Australian-owned café and coffee-roasting concept to Woden, with a menu that covers breakfast, lunch, lighter meals, snacks and drinks. The brand says it has been roasting coffee since 2008 and roasts daily, with beans sourced from Brazil, Colombia and Ethiopia. At the Woden location in Westfield Woden, it is a practical option for a coffee break, a casual meal or a catch-up while shopping.

The sample menu has plenty of familiar café choices, including Cherry Beans Breakfast with eggs, bacon, mushrooms and cherry tomatoes on sourdough, as well as eggs Benedict with options such as salmon, ham or bacon. Smashed avo on toast combines avocado, cherry tomato, feta and a poached egg, while pancakes come with fruit, cream, maple syrup and ice cream. For a more substantial breakfast, the Ultimate Big Breakfast includes eggs, bacon, kransky, avocado, mushrooms, baked beans, baked tomato, hash brown and sourdough.

Lunch extends across sandwiches, burgers, melts, salads and plates. The listed options include an Aussie burger with bacon, egg, beetroot and pineapple, a chicken burger, chicken parmigiana, fish and chips, Caesar salad and a smoked salmon salad. There are also sides such as herby fries, sweet potato chips and wedges, plus a children’s section with pancakes, nuggets, wedges and chips. The menu’s range makes it suitable for mixed groups where everyone wants something different, including families looking for a straightforward café meal.

The drinks list goes well beyond espresso coffee, covering short blacks, macchiatos, piccolos, long blacks, flat whites, cappuccinos and lattes, along with chai latte, affogato, hot chocolate, iced coffees, frappes, milkshakes, smoothies, fresh juice and lemonade. Caffe Cherry Beans describes its venues as warm and welcoming, with friendly service and a relaxed café atmosphere. Its broader story is one of expansion from a modest Pyrmont coffee shop into a multi-state franchise, while keeping freshly roasted coffee and an all-day café menu at the centre of the offer. In Woden, that combination should suit solo visitors, informal dates, families and small groups wanting a flexible café stop rather than a highly specialised dining experience.
