Kofi Beans

I come here once a week for coffee and the occasional snack and both are always high quality and come out very quickly. The actual restaurant is a cosy little Moroccan oasis in the middle of Croydon and the staff are always very friendly and helpful.
Wonderful atmosphere and Friday night dinners at Kofi are a fantastic way to experience the local music talent with a beautiful meal and glass of wine.

I went here for a Sunday brunch recently. The service was adequate, but didn't really blow me away. Some of the staff appear to put more effort into being 'alternative' than simply being friendly.

The prices were a bit higher than you'd expect when bearing in mind the type of food you're getting. The food was nice, but when you consider the overall experience, I'm not convinced it's high on my list for places to return to.

this is by far my favourite coffee shop in the area. great customer service and the coffee is brilliant! keeps me buzzing for hours. meals are pricey so haven't had many from there aside from the flourless chocolate cake which is pretty good! during busy times coffees can take a bit to be delivered but it is always worth the wait. nice funky cafe too, lots of house items you can buy. take a look for yourself.

I really enjoy coming here for the simple fact that I can order organic food and not fear the added nasties at most cafe's/restaurants. I've tried a large variety of meals and havent been disappointed. The service is however, hit and miss. There are some really great staff and others that are unnecessarily rude. Prices are standard if not a little high. Live music on Friday nights is also a refreshing treat.

I have been a regular customer of this cafe for many years because there coffee and european thick hot chocolates are amazing. The hot chocolates are thick and you can pick from many varieties some that have coconut hazelnut, white chocolate, chili, etc. The place is morrocan style and is open late Fridays with usually a man singing or some sort of entertainment. It is pretty cramped though but nice. Although, I find the back outdoor area to be pretty dirty and often smells funny as the seats are located right next to the outside toilet and the furniture doesnt look like it gets cleaned much outside. So if you go I recommend sitting inside. You can buy gifts such as candles and morrocan style homewares, chocolates, fudge, lamps,vases, etc. I think overall it is a great place to go if you want a coffee or a hot chocolate but have sometimes found the cake to not taste the freshest and they are around 8 dollars a slice and when I got a lemon tart it tasted off and I didn't eat it. But highly recommend the european hot chocolate and the coffee would be the best in the Croydon /Mooroolbark area.

I always enjoy going to Kofi Bean. The service is good, the waiters are friendly and the food is tasty. Recently I went with a couple of friends and we all had a mini pizza each. These are just right for lunch - lots of topping and there is a vegetarian option too. Coffee and tea as well - and the coffee always comes with a jug of hot water to tone it down if it is too strong - and also makes it stretch just a little bit further! A great place go for a snack, meal or just coffee and a chat.

Staff seem to serve based on personal choice. On multiple occasions, I have sat down waiting to order and have had to wait up to 25 minutes, whilst waitresses have walked past without looking at me or idly having a personal chat to another customer. When I was finally served, the waitress seemed very unhappy to be serving me.

Coffee and food is rather expensive. Ordered a "trio of dips" which contained 3 small dips and some crackers. It cost about $15 but was only worth about $5-7.

Apart from a few of the obnoxious female waitresses, the coffee is very good.

Paying the high price to be 'funky'?

I had my first coffee here last week after eyeing the place off for some time as looking like the place to be.
I didn't realise it was table service, so went in and up to the register to order, the youngish lady looked puzzled and raised her eyebrows and said 'erm, it's table service here so just sit down and someone will come take your order'. I said 'um.. ok' and went and sat outside.
Some time went by...I watched the traffic... and a 30 something male waiter, tall slim guy, came by and asked if I had ordered yet. I said no. I ordered a standard latte, with sugars.
It came out, in it's little glass... not particularly hot, but... it was ok, it tasted nice. So, drank up and went in to be quite surprised that the little drink was just under $4. Reasonable in the inner city but a bit rich for Main St Croydon. They were quick to take my cash and say 'next can I help you' and I was basically forced out with a waiter right on my heels.
Not the best experience, and I really think most go there for the look - which does appeal to me, but I want service and value for my money. If the cakes were not $8+ a slice, I might have tried one.
Might have to just slum it at the Bakehouse next door from now on when in Croydon, at least they are polite and happy to have you as a customer.

Recently went here for breakfast with a friend and was very impressed. Great menu, hard to chose only one dish to order. The meals was really good - great quality, fresh food, beautifully presented.
The service was outstanding. I commented as I left that they had reminded me of what realy customer service was - attentive but not intrusive, polite but also very friendly.
I will definately be back!
