Coffee with a side of guns
Self proclaiming themselves as making 'Sydney's Best Bacon & Egg Wrap' and 'Surry Hill’s Best Bacon & Egg Wrap' is a big call although until proven wrong I guess it quite possibly might be. It’s a nice variation to serving in a roll or muffin which also makes it a little easier to perhaps eat on the run like a kebab. Bean Temple sits directly opposite the cold war style concrete bunker of the Sydney Police Centre. This must be why it’s one of the only cafes I’ve visited where you’ll see cops and their holstered guns making you feel somewhat safe and scared at the same time. If you’ve missed your parole check-in then it’s probably best to avoid this place.
The Bacon and egg wrap ($5.95) comes with bacon, egg, cheese, BBQ sauce, homemade aioli and fruit chutney. For extra taste kick you can add some of the chilli jam and pesto which is served on the side. Brunch dining companions order the reasonably priced and sized Chicken and bacon sandwich ($9.95) and Chicken and herb sandwich ($7.95) with favourable satisfaction. My cappuccino ($3 small) was non-bitter and nicely made with some depth of flavour.

That wrap looks delicious and the price is so good as well. Looks like a perfect hangover cure!
Mmmm, that looks a yummy wrap! Reminds me of a Maccas McMuffin. LOL
I like the name of the cafe too, Bean Temple. But surely if they have Sydney's best bacon and egg wrap, then they would also have Surry Hills' best bacon and egg wrap??? Unless for some reason Surry Hills is no longer part of Sydney!
It sounds like too many sauces for a wrap... did they give you extra serviettes? :)
Nice photos! Since I am too far away to the check the place out, I will virtually enjoy the food there.
hi susan, a perfect hangover cure indeed
hi joey, maybe even a maccas breakfast wrap. i think surry hills sometimes thinks it's a world of its on ;-)
hi lateraleating, i got myself extra serviettes, definitely good to have on standby but it wasn't too messy
hi quay po cooks, glad you're virtually enjoying the food :-)
