Well, Bean once, will return

We really enjoyed our first visit, and the breakfast bagel; our omni guest said it was the best he'd ever had! If we weren't trying nearby Café Spice Namasté after, we'd have had cake; noticed on IG later that our guests took some home :-)

UPDATE: I made a return visit for cake; very nice blueberry bakewell at £2.95. Also gave them their HappyCow 'Excellent Reviews' window sticker ;-)

Yes, sorry about that, many of my titles are puns or wordplay!

Nothing to be sorry about. I found it funny. Or punny. Either way!!! :)

Fantastic place full of amazing food, coffee and treat.

I love going for a walk and go to this hidden gem. It used to be a chocolate factory but now they’re a full time cafe that supports mental health projects and activities in their mezzanine.
Staff is so friendly it makes want to come back.
I love the bagels and the sweet treats the have there. The menu is priced reasonably specially for the area, considering everything is fresh!

Lovely local cafe overlooking the docks

I feel fortunate to have this as my local vegan cafe. The staff are lovely, the service is good, the views are superb, the savoury food is exactly what I want from a cafe, the coffee is superb, and the sweets are a real treat.

Pros: Excellent space with gorgeous dockside views, Friendly, personable owners and staff, The hot chocolate is a dream for chocolate lovers

Great plant-based spot in unexpected location

A plant-based chocolate factory with a recently opened café, currently open for takeaway coffee and lunch. We had the 'Indonesian bagel' with tempeh and sun-dried tomatoes. Not sure what was Indonesian about it, however it was very delicious. Excellent coffee as well. The only thing I was less impressed with, surprisingly, was the hot chocolate. For me, it tasted too strongly of coconut and it wasn't hot enough at all.
Looks like a lovely spot to spend some time in when it can open again for sit-in customers. For now, get a lovely takeaway coffee here and enjoy the views over the water just outside!

Pros: The views, The coffee
