Cool Beans Café

Bideford, United Kingdom Cafe

Frequently mentioned in reviews: Top-rated.online cuts through the clutter, highlighting only the reviews that are most helpful, earn the most likes, or come from the most active contributors. This is a cute looking, large, stylishly interior designed cafe in the centre of Bideford. The menu is extensive and well curated. It has a welcoming outside/pavement seating area ( I'm not sure about the stained old sofa dumped by the litter bin, but not really their fault) and I do like the subtle retro music theme. However, a few things could be improved to take it from ok to great. Admittedly, my daughter and I went for a very late lunch on a Saturday, about 3.30pm, so maybe not the best to judge the food. I ordered a tuna sandwich, which was good, but the side salad had seen better days...if you only have wilted lettuce and bone dry, bendy cucumber, just don't serve it! The cappuccino was bitter/burnt, my daughters vanilla milkshake had way too much syrup in it and was served spilt all over its saucer. Her bacon sandwich was excellent though. I know I should have complained at the time, but the two teenage girls left in charge seemed distracted and obviously counting the minutes until closing time. I know owners can't run cafes like this all the time, but maybe a bit of further training of junior staff would avoid the business being actively damaged. As an Italian, I can say they really do a great job making lattes and cappuccino. Highly recommended if you're in Bideford. Staff very kind and professional. Popped in to get out of the rain and rewarded with a deluxe vegan hot chocolate (including marshmallows) and a vegan rocky road. Lovely, lively cafe with fantastic decor and atmosphere, nestling in the centre of Bideford. Amazing delicious and flapjack. You won't be disappointed! For once I had to sit down for lunch in town and wanted to visit a local cafe rather than a chain. Its been a long since I've really walked through the town so this is the first 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 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 :) Absolutely amazing everything here. The made by Ellie was one of the best. Her service was incredible as well. Highly recommend anyone in the area to go visit them. 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 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 to sooth it down nicely. Lovely friendly and quirky place! Food was excellent and was top notch :) The service was amazing, everyone is so welcoming and chatty and they sell some awsome little bits Website change monitoring Monitor any webpage for changes – get instant email alerts when prices drop, new jobs are posted, products come back in stock, or competitors update their sites.
