Judges’ comments 2025:

Bean and Base is a charming two-room venue tucked along a service road on the bustling Melbourne Road. Despite its unassuming location, it has clearly become a favourite among both locals and visitors. The atmosphere is warm, friendly, and relaxed — the kind of place that instantly puts you at ease. From the moment we stepped in, we were greeted with a welcoming smile and the vibrant energy of a busy Saturday night crowd. The beautiful wood-fired oven adds both literal and visual warmth to the space, creating a cozy, inviting feel.
