    Bean 2 the Coast is a coffee shop situated in the heart of the coastal town of Wells-next-the-sea…read more A modern interior and friendly staff greet as you enter, as does the smell of great coffee. Not too busy when we visited, but I imagine at the height of the summer season, this place would be packed, and would have to make full use of its external seating. A straightforward menu with a variety of items like sandwiches, baguettes, soup etc. I plumped for the Tomato and Basil soup, a heartily big bowl, with a good basket of bread to accompany. Slightly bitter, but filling on a winter's day nonetheless. Bean 2 the Coast however, as the sign says is a coffee house - espresso, mocha, latte, cappuccino to name but a few. This was a great cup of coffee, strong and flavoursome, well worth a return visit to this inventively named coffee house.

    I am so torn over my review of this place. We have been going to Wells for over 6 years, when we…read morewent in here before children I loved it, great coffee and yummy homemade cakes. Since having children we have been in here a couple of times and received a completely different experience. They appear to completely dislike children, we had to leave our baby's pram outside, even in march when the place was empty, my son picked up the table number and was abruptly told to put it back, we just encountered glares and completely unfriendly attitude. We won't be spending our money here again.

We took a break here while spending the day walking around town. We were able to order lattes and hot chocolates and seat ourselves on their lounge sofas for a little while. The coffee was good, and most people seemed to be enjoying themselves, whether having a meal, or studying in small groups. I could definitely see myself hanging out here often. Cycle across nearby Parkers Piece, hang your bike on the wall, and enjoy a cup of coffee from their Cambridge Blue espresso machine!

    The place has quite a bit of a hipster vibe, which would be endearing if the quality of the food…read moreand drink was up to par. I believe the quality of this place does not justify the prices. We ordered an espresso, cafe latte and a lemon cheesecake. Cheesecake slice was a bit small, but not small enough to elicit protest of my wife. Flavor-wise it was unremarkable. The lemon flavor was there, but it was not prominent. I wish cheesecake was creamier and less sweet. It was certainly too sweet for our taste. Latte was small, served in what seemed an 8 oz glass. It was passable, but lacked flavor and was not better than a home made one, with Tesco ground beans. Sure, warm milk and caffeine are nice and comforting, but generally any other place in Cambridge can give you a latte equally good as this. Espresso was rather disappointing. It arrived flat, without crema, resembling a filter coffee more than an espresso. The beans used were good, but the extraction was faulty. The drink lacked depth in flavor and the taste dissipated in a few minutes. Espresso was served without side water. Generally, the food and drink are passable, but not exciting. I don't think I will come back soon.
