Flick N Beans

I walk past most mornings on my way to work, and it always seems to be busy! I’m not sure if they still do breakfast though, I was going to get some toast this morning but didn’t see a menu, so I opted to just get my usual coffee. I used to come here quite frequently before I cut back on my caffeine intake so I was surprised that even after 6 weeks of not going, they remembered the way I like my coffee — cold and black, just like my heart.
Also the name makes me giggle every time. Love it!

Tuesday mornings call for a good coffee before sessions at the hospital, so I took this as the perfect opportunity to try out Flick N Beans, a fairly new coffee hub located down the street from the Royal Brisbane in Bowen Hills. The ambience of this tire-​shop inspired (not sure if it really is, but it looks like it!) orange themed café is refreshing, as most places now take after the kitchy-​cute hipster-​y café.
Kaleb and Tim, the guys behind Flick N Beans, are friendly and whipped up our coffees fairly quickly. I had a skinny latte, the usual, which was moderately aromatic, not acidic, and not too dark. I find that a lot of Brisbane cafes whip up really dark roasts, which I don’t quite like, so yay! While I havn’t had any of the sandwiches or wraps yet, the toasted Raspberry & Pear bread was quite scrumptious. It tasted fresh, and was the perfect «density» for my liking. I’ll definitely be returning for some hot food one day, as it’s the perfect location! As there aren’t many other restaurant or café establishments near the hospital, I reckon this should become a popular place.
