    Have seen this place on Instagram and decided our trip to Noosa was the perfect chance to drive home via Mooloolabah and try it out. It's a small space, in a line of small food outlets. Simple fitout and set up, but I was hoping the coffee was as good as they said it was!

    Second awesome coffee of the Easter weekend. It was impossible to find a park so got a takeaway. Coffee was excellent. The service was quick and cheerful. The pricing board is a little confusing. The place is part of a strip of shops running along the beach front. Not a bad atmosphere, plenty of people.

    This place is really growing on me. The service is good and the coffee was exactly as I like it. The cheap chocolate accompaniment wasn't as pleasing. If you're going to serve great coffee with a little "extra" please don't skimp on quality or please don't bother Double "ris" flat white.

    When it's not busy, it's great. But if I walk in and there is a line out the door I will turn and leave, as I have had too many bad coffees that have been rushed through, leading to a bitter, burnt coffee. Great atmosphere, perfect location.

    Solid coffee. Been here once and had two. The small (6 ounce??) in house was nice. Latte was made like a latte should be. Second coffee (piccolo) was not that great. Very bitter (over extracted). But for a very busy place it would be hard to nail each coffee. I'd come again.

    Was taken here by a work collegue. Not too bad a coffee, not the best and there was quite a wait. I will try the cafe just two doors along next time. Service was fine but why do so many cafe's have a pouty girl serving?? Just dont understand the whole "if she looks alternative she will be fine"... Read more

    Have heard a lot of this espresso bar, so my expectations were high.
    Sadly, I was quite disappointed. The coffee was average, if I do go back, I will need to remember to get an extra shot, as it was rather weak.
    I'm sure if I was a regular customer, my experience may have been... Read more

    Live the staff, love the coffee, love the atmosphere. Can't go wrong, especially if Sam serves you!

    Coffee was good, but a place that says 'we can't put it in a cup - we are doing takeaway only because it is too busy' says something about their commitment to the beverage

    Went here again recently and it really is a great little place. Had two good piccolos and the services is always very good. I'm not sure about the claims by some of the reviewers regarding it 'being the best on the Sunshine Coast' - I think some of the speciality roasters might take that crown -... Read more

    I was on a bit of a caffeine bing today and downed my final 3 shots of 9 at the Good Bean. I note this as a disclaimer because perhaps it influenced my experience. Perhaps not.

    The service was awesome, very accomodating (we had a dog with us and they let him sit in the door and... Read more

    Had a very nice double shot fw here. And my daughter enjoyed her iced chocolate immensely. Great atmosphere. And the freckle is a friendly touch.

    Once again the great people from Good Bean reminded me why I keep on coming back! They know my order, create it flawlessly, and I can then enjoy my coffee with the sun on my back with a great bunch of friends after a morning cycle around the coast.

    Beanhunter brought me here this morning. Top reveiwed cafe for the area. The dbl latte was nice. Made well but the flavours were'nt there for me on this occasion. I think a triple res would have hit the mark. The sng origin espresso was well extracted but still tasted quite young in age. This is my... Read more

    Smooth flavour. Bitter at first sip but gets better. Friendly service at 6.30am on a Saturday.

    Mostly outstanding. A little disappointed with the single origins though, but I shall overlook this as every other experience has been amazing.

    Been here a couple of times and each time I have loved it! Great coffee, great atmosphere and really nice service. Great for a take away coffee on the beach. :)

    Good solid coffee, did not expect to find a good coffee in Mooloolaba but after reading the reviews was very excited to try. Bought a skinny flat white to go and although I had to wait a little while, it was worth it. The freckle was a cool touch, the milk was perfect, and the blend was quite good.... Read more

    I hate to say it, but for me the standard of the coffee as well as the service has definitely gone down (sorry!!!)
    I feel harsh saying it, but I was a huge Good Bean fan (went there daily for months) and since the opening of a couple of other local coffee venues, have been leaving my Good... Read more

    I had a great coffee and despite the large number of people waiting (mid-week during school hols), the service was very prompt. I can see why this consistently reviews so well.
