Ethical Bean Company reviews
The café's culinary focus is clearly aligned with plant-based cuisine, with approximately 90% of the offerings being vegan. A highlight is the Ethical Bean Full Breakfast, a hearty meal featuring vegan sausages, hash browns, mushrooms, beans, kale, and tomatoes, served with a slice of sourdough bread— a dish that satisfies and impresses with fresh flavors. Also popular is the Ethical "Beefy" Burger, a plant-based burger topped with crunchy vegetables and creamy garlic mayonnaise, showcasing how much flavor can be found in vegan cooking. For a lighter option, the Avocado, Tomato and Rocket Bagel offers a fresh taste experience with its combination of creamy avocado and peppery rocket. The homemade, award-winning pastries, such as the moist banana bread, are another draw and perfect for a sweet break.
