Cool bean has such a unique vibe going inside seeing the retro designs and ideas, feeling the music in the background. Just getting an overall good vibe from a really good coffee shop. It’s a good layout for buggies and even having a wheelchair inside too. They have a good selection of sweet and savoury. (The waffles are to die for) The atmosphere and just general service is pleasant and I’m never left unsatisfied leaving cool beans! The staff are so welcoming, I never hesitate for a fresh baked slice of cake and a cuppa hot coffee to sooth it down nicely.

You won't be disappointed! For once I had time to sit down for lunch in town and wanted to visit a local cafe rather than a chain. Its been a long time since I've really walked through the town so this is the first time I've come across Cool Beans. Very covid aware and secure. Lots of lovely outside seating as well as inside options. Great menu full of tempting treats. We went for cream cheese and cucumber sandwich which as you can see in the picture came with coleslaw, salad and crisps. We also tried the chocolate mess crepe, and a cappuccino with butterscotch syrup. Wow. The food was fresh and tasty. Honestly it was faultless. The crepe was decadent and fabulous, my 7 year olds eyes nearly popped out lol she loved it! Awesome coffee full of flavour. Lovely interior, toilet for customers and dogs welcome and very friendly staff. Well worth a visit, we will certainly be back ASAP. Thank you :)
