Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out welcoming, kind staff, and the drinks and plates they describe come next. Iced drinks get repeated praise, including an iced vanilla latte, an iced chai and an iced matcha described as perfectly made. The cacao acai bowl and avocado toast with a yoghurt granola bowl also draw compliments, along with toasties and a range of guest espressos. Several note the vegan, vegetarian, gluten free and celiac options, and one gluten intolerant diner found the acai bowl granola gluten free. The relaxed music is called considerate for neurodivergent customers, and laptops are tolerated. The main criticism is size. One reviewer found the caramel latte arrived in a cup closer to a flat white and felt ripped off, though the flavour was delicious. Another wished the food menu were longer. One diner was brought a jug of water with their meal without asking.

“A warm, welcoming and cosy cafe. Staff are very kind and friendly. The cacao acai bowl and iced chai were absolutely delicious! Considerate music volume for neurodivergent folk and relaxing tunes. Highly recommend a visit!”

“I had a really lovely time at Bean and Cole and recommend to a friend. Here is my review! PROS: Firstly, customer service wise, although it isn't something I'm too fussed about generally, everyone had a smiling face and was very kind. Food was bought to the table and even a jug of water with my meal, although I didn't ask for it which was lovely. The ambience was delightful, chill music and chill vibes. I sat in for a meal, but they are fine with you bringing laptops as I saw a few people with laptops. I got an iced vanilla latte, which was delicious. The coffee itself was strong and flavourful. It was very sweet and nice and they did not add too much ice. And the glass was big. I got the Friday morning meal which was Avocado toast with a small yoghurt granola fruit bowl. Both tasted good. Also avocado toast is usually a very bland meal but this was so tasteful. Plenty of avocado, and Italian leaf salad with drizzled olive oil a good amount of rock salt and a slice of lemon and tomatoes. Put together it tasted so good. CONS: I felt like the menu could've had more on it in terms of food but of course the people working there can't help it.”
