Unpopular opinion:Making good coffee should be the bread and butter all cafes must have.

Try our coffee 😎

Same routine since 2024! I recreated the exact same video from 2024 in 2026 😂

⚠️ Throwback to July 12, 2024, when I got the keys to Love of Beans Café.

At the time, I was working in corporate and disability services. I had absolutely no idea how to make coffee 😂 but I did have prior experience working in the kitchen.

I was juggling three jobs at once (not ideal), and eventually, I gave up the other two to focus on the café 🫡

Man, oh man. I wouldn’t recommend this to anyone, but for me, it was the right decision. I hated working in corporate, but I genuinely enjoyed helping others through the NDIS. The café gave me another opportunity to connect with people and make a difference.

My first day running the café was a total chaaaaooooooossssssss. I cannot express how bad it was 🥹 Missed orders, late service, and absolutely no organisation. I felt like I had failed both my team and the Love of Beans patrons.

Eventually, I learned through experience, and I’m still learning to this day 😮‍💨

I studied coffee as if my life depended on it. I tasted coffee from just about every roaster Sydney had to offer. It became important to me that I serve genuinely good coffee to the people around me.

Looking back, I stumbled a lot. I failed a lot in the span of 26 months.

But I’m glad I made the decision to take it further.

I was given the opportunity to build meaningful connections. Customers became good friends, and I feel incredibly blessed to have built the café into what it is today with the support of our community.

To me, yes, running a small business is hard. But man, it’s also incredibly rewarding.

And at the end of the day, I genuinely enjoy making coffee ☕️

To everyone who has supported us since day one, THANK YOU!!!!! 🥹❤️🫶🏻

Love from Al 👴🏻
