About Old Green Bean

Old Green Bean delivers serious specialty espresso and inventive breakfast staples in central Bendigo. Locals head here on Saturday mornings for hearty Turkish eggs paired with fresh sourdough, or plates of rich eggs hollandaise before embarking on a regional road trip. The front lawn offers blankets, rugs, and milk crates beneath a leafy shade tree for low-key outdoor lounging, while diners inside grab kilo bags of roasted beans to take home.

  • Tree-Shaded Picnic Rugs: Patrons can picnic out front under the shade tree with provided picnic blankets and milk crates.
  • Kilo Bean Bags: Diners can purchase whole roasted beans by the kilo to brew at home.
  • Creative Morning Plates: Savory Turkish eggs with sourdough and scratch-made eggs hollandaise anchor the breakfast menu.
