    This cafe is a first rate coffee stop during the day but at night it is magically transformed into a Thai restaurant. I'll include the menu in photos but the chef went out of his way to feed this vegetarian an excellent dish to my unreasonable demands. A wonderful setting in the botanical garden in balmy evening. Thanks Chef.

    Great spot right in the Olive Pink botanic gardens. Food was excellent - we had lunch and breakfast there - and service was warm and friendly (albeit a little haphazard). Highly recommend the Bean Tree

    Very nice cafe set on the Botanic Gardens. Reasonable meals and prices, good service. Nice walks in the gardens, usually can get parking. Would recommend.

    Despite glowing, consistent reviews online, I was shocked to encounter the most poorly cooked chicken burger I have ever tasted in my life. The bun came out with chunks missing whilst the chicken fillet itself was undercooked to the point where I could see pink, uncooked flesh when sliced open. The coleslaw had been made much earlier in the day as the entire batch was stained purple from the carrot with zero crunch to the vegetables. I ordered well before they closed early at 1:30 so at $23, an absolute waste of money.

    Great coffee, but on weekends there is a long wait. 1 hour for food and over 30 mins for a takeaway coffee. Seems they have way to many tables to keep up with the demand. Recommend going early. Or on a week day.

    Surprisingly good food and the burgers were excellent, probably the best I've ever had and that's saying something. Seems very popular with the locals.

    Just ate diner at this lovely cafe. The food was wonderful, and the setting just beautiful. Satay sticks, and goat curry were highlights.

    The cafe at Olive Pink was very reasonable, the food portions were good, the avocado was good quality, and seemed to be a rare find across the region. This facility being here really helps make Olive Pink an attraction you could stay at for a long time. That pairs well with the very relaxed approach to customer service which saw one person in my group waiting for a meal for the entire time that everyone else was eating. Additionally when I ordered a to go coffee, I witnessed another customer who claimed she had been waiting for 40 minutes for a latte. I wouldn’t have waited that long however I would go back to this place

    I use to visit this cafe everytime I was on break in Alice (from community work) as I loved the outdoor atmosphere being surrounded by the beautiful gardens.. the hill with spectacular views etc (that’s what I look for when I go to pick a cafe… rather then a cafe in the cbd) . The food was also great.. (as well as staff who cooked and served it) only ever ate breakfast or brunch here but heard dinner at the bean tree is a delight too!! When I return to alice again I’ll be back for sure!!

    As a local, I appreciate all the efforts to keep this great cafe running. Prices are a little high for the food delivered. Heavy fur

    New owners and it’s now open for dinner with an Indonesian menu on Friday and Saturday nights. I am guessing they have no chef, because I just had the worst gado-gado ever last night. Should not have been served up.Tasteless mush. Do not eat dinner here.

    Excellent service despite some hiccups with Paywave (take some cash with you just in case). Great coffee, decaf available and a variety of milk alternatives. Food great as always with a wide range of breakfast / brunch options as well as fresh fruit and a variety of cakes in the display cabinet. There is a great sandpit for the kids to play in while waiting for their meals or while the grown ups are kicking back with their coffees 😃 Always my go to place for brunch when in Alice!

    Loved the location, the food and the birds that helped themselves to anything left on plates and dishes sitting on tables ...

    Coffee ok, service rude and dirty tables. Food expensive. Setting great. Why is everything run by Asians. 🤔😒

  • 5/5 Linelin O. 1 year ago on Google
    What heaven! They finally serve authentic Indonesian food that i am craving ages ago! Try their Food called “Soto” But gotta order it with extra rice instead of vermicelli. Highly recommending this warm soup yet freshing with just right combination of herbs, pull chicken, bean sprouts, diced cabbage!! Their rice are just surprisingly yummy with fragrant of coconut i guess ? Have it with extra sunny side up too for make it umami! Just inform you guys their Indonesian Cuisine serve for Dinner! Google haven’t update their trading hour yet, but it was sudden busy already after 6PM!

    So, I had a unicorn gaytime and a muslie bar before I came here, so I really wasn't up for breakfast. The rest of the crew order coffee and such and they seem pretty happy. I would eat here if I were to come back to alice

    Great location to have breakfast, big brekkie and iced coffee was good however they ran out of a few of the vege options on the menu when we were there and unfortunately my avocado was black and couldn't be eaten.
