About Us

Part café, part bakery, part gallery, the Bakes & Beans Café is a themed restro cafe. It's designed as an informal local meeting place; hence the choice of name, to reflect the mindset of today's generation. Although a small space, the roof height is great, allowing for the original brick walls to be used as a photo display space. The gallery is blessed with ample light during the day, but is nonetheless kitted out with a sophisticated daylight balanced lighting system to view prints under optimum conditions.

We offer a range of organic coffees, teas and infusions, as well as breakfasts, freshly made sandwiches and salads, and a limited hot menu. We make our own blend of the finest certified organic, shade grown, south Indian arabica and robusta beans, selected for their spicy notes, bold-yet-smooth taste, and ability to produce persistent crema. All our coffees are sourced directly from plantations which engage in sustainable practices. The plants are grown in complete harmony with the surrounding forest, thereby maintaining the existing biodiversity and a rich self-supporting ecosystem. Locally sourced ingredients are a priority where available and we are constantly on the lookout for good organic food suppliers. For our decaf coffee, we choose Italian blends that can offer an acceptable body and crema. We bake all our breads at the shop itself and use certified organic non-GM wholegrain wheat flour mixed with other grains and flours.
