The turkey melt was delicious and the egg and bacon pie was next level great. Coffees were strong and not at all bitter. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Wish we lived closer.

Im the dreadlocked bloke that came in with his Misus and family, was in a bit of a rush so didn’t get to say cheers for the meal. Pancakes were great, plenty of syrup and icecream, good sized pancakes. My partners silverside ruben roll was great (I ate half… lol). And the rest of the familys food looked good too. Nice little Cafe and pleasant staff. Cheers, Micos.

Lovely cafe in the town of Gympie. Laidback ambiance and quite busy on a Monday Morning. Good coffees, both the Oat Cap and Almond Mocha tasty, warm and well prepared. The raspberry coconut cake was fresh and tasty, coco a bit overdone. Would definitely come back!

The Keen Bean doesn't appear very enticing from outside on the street but once you step inside it's a different story. Great ambience and comfy cosy seating, and of course the most important part - great coffee.
