Set in a sun-lit space adjoining the Ithaca Bowls Club, Kitty and the Bean is a welcome sanctum for neighbourhood denizens, passing commuters and coffee enthusiasts. Offering Red Hill locals a place of nourisment, Kitty and the Bean serves coffee made with Belaroma Botanica organic and fairtrade beans. The avocado on Turkish is a tasty morning offering, while the haloumi salad, toasted focaccias and salad wraps are wholesome bites to eat at lunchtime. Surprising folk with its white picket fence and green astroturf, Kitty and the Bean has applied a homely touch to the space while keeping within its neighbour’s theme. The tables are set under the warmth of the sun, each graced with a small pot growing fresh herbs.
