    I needed a place for a quick business meeting and Whole Bean's tables a the perfect place to grab a great coffee and set out some paperwork.

    My associate was impressed with his mocha and my flat white was up to their usual standard.

    A quick meeting is a good meeting... Read more

    Another Tamara cup of excellence this morning. Lady has skills. Balanced and delicious as always. A nice Ethiopian single o brought by a new and delightful waitress, the service here seems to be a new focus. Keep it up whole beaners!

    Came here this morning to do some uni work. We both had a Piccolo. The coffee was delicious, smooth and strong. Yum! We also shared a toasted banana and blueberry bread which was perfect!
    The service was really good. They let us know they have free WiFi and were more than happy for us to sit... Read more

    It's rare to visit a place that gets better over time. Today's piccolo was possibly the best and that's straight off a trip to Melbourne. Smooth mellow, full of flavour and silky milk texturing. Served with a smile from friendly staff. Well done Whole Bean!!!

    Had one of the best coffee's I have ever had here yesterday! Every ounce of flavour seemed to have been extracted; full bodied with an amazing complexity of different elements. Absolutely stunning coffee!!!!!

    would definitely be a tough business consider they are a bit further away from the main street and there is nothing around except factories and warehouses initially it is quite a good coffee shop

    This cafe is off the beaten track in an warehouse lined street. However, it is well worth a visit to sample some superb coffee. This place is all about coffee. The coffee is smooth and sweet. It's up there as one of Marrickvilles best coffees!

    Smooth chocolaty and great milk texturing.

    Made a quick stop in here again for a coffee before work.

    Once again I was impressed. It was nice to see a friendly face and also a new face. They even remembered my coffee order (I guess it helps when you come here nearly every day)

    Milk was spot on and the coffee... Read more

    Full bodied, delicious coffee. Could taste the care. Roasting on premises always impresses.

    This new cafe is definitely a find. In a warehouse in the back of Marrickville, it's easy to miss, but absolutely worth searching for. The staff are friendly, eager to please, and seem like they could talk the steam arm off the espresso machine if they had to.
    The place is giant, and has a... Read more

    This is my little slice of heaven in Sydney. Love the coffee, decor and team. I could spend my entire time in Sydney here just enjoying all it has to offer.

    This is my new favourite inner west cafe! Great coffee, excellent service, cosy interior (it's like all the funk and hip of Melbourne squeezed into one shop but in Sydney!) There is every type of coffee and all manor of coffee paraphernalia. Love it!

    The Coffee here is great with a selection of house or single origin coffee's available. The baristas clearly love their job and are fueled by providing their customers with the best coffee and service imaginable.

    The fit-out is spacious and funky and there is room to sit down and eat... Read more

    Whole Bean have returned from their Christmas/New Year break.

    Although I planned to have a coffee when I got home from shopping, I couldn't resist stopping here as I find the atmosphere and the service inviting and welcoming.

    I dropped in this afternoon for a sausage roll and a flat white. My coffee was better than usual. Not easy because they're always great. It seems they've tweaked their Cracka Blend.

    I've made a few visits since my last review.

    Last week I ordered my usual flat white but this week decided on a siphon.

    Both were great!

    They are always up for a chat and despite being off the beaten track the regular flow of customers shows that I'm not... Read more

    Had another long black today. Monsooned Malabar only 7 days post roast. Not my favourite bean if not roasted well and rested well. However Michael had done a great job on this one.

    A nice place to visit on a miserable rainy day like today.
    I decided to have a long black today instead of my usual flat white.
    Very drinkable even for a milk based drinker like me.
