bIn 2006, Three Beans set out on a mission to create delicious food and coffee that was ethically sourced, nutritious, and sustainable. The concept was a success and after experiencing rapid growth in its native New South Wales, Three Beans crossed state lines in 2018, launching its Eagle Street store in Brisbane’s CBD.
“The philosophy from day one has been to focus on organic, free-range produce that is treated the right way. Everything has to be sustainable, from our cups to our ingredients,” says Andrew Derham, Owner of Three Beans Eagle Street.
“We are really pleased to have received such a strong response from the people in Brisbane. When we came to this city, nobody knew us, we were the new kid on the block. But once they tasted our food and coffee, they kept coming back.”
Three Beans uses Gabriel Coffee exclusively as its roaster and serves a versatile house blend that aims to appeal to a broad customer base.
“The house blend has a chocolatey flavour and ticks all of the boxes. We also produce our own black blend with washed and unwashed Ethiopian beans made specifically for long blacks,” Andrew says.
Three Beans utilises some of the most modern and advanced equipment in the industry to serve its coffee including a La Marzocco PB, Mythos and Mahlkönig EK43 grinders, Übermilk, and a Puqpress.
“A lot of people identify with technology nowadays so it’s important to be up to date. It helps to deliver quality coffee with speed and consistency,” Andrew says.
The café also has a comprehensive food menu featuring a range of lunch and breakfast options. All eggs and chicken used are RSPCA-approved, and the free-range bacon and ham is selectively sourced.
“We serve vibrant food and aim to create a positive atmosphere to match says. We take customer service seriously and try to build relationships with our customers. Things like remembering their names and having a smile go a long way,” Andrew says.
