I live locally so have popped in here a few times to grab a flat white or iced matcha to go whilst walking and both are amazing! So finally came here for brunch on Saturday and wow, so so good! I had the glow toast (beetroot humous, avo, balsamic drizzle and a side of feta) this was so delicious, and my bf had the smoked salmon and cream cheese on toast with avo on the side and he loved his too. We then shared a Nutella cruffin which was honestly just unreal! Also the guy serving us was just the nicest guy ever, he was so so friendly and even though there is limited seating and it’s super popular we didn’t feel like we were getting rushed, and love that it’s doggo friendly! 10/10 all round

I've been a customer at Bean & Cole for a few years and have always looked forward to my coffee and breakfast there when in Chester. Today I ordered an extra hot mocha, with sweetner and received a mocha, tepid at best. The almond croissant's consistency was best suited to heavy sour dough than light and flaky. The atmosphere which is always vibey and friendly was more funereal and soulless. Food in the cabinet had been mislabelled. So sad that such a lovely coffee shop doles out this experience to customers when the owners are not in store.

It was a pleasure to drop in for lunch at Bean and Cole. It has a friendly, relaxed atmosphere with friendly staff who work as a great team. Despite it being busy, our meal arrived quickly. We loved the smoked salmon and cream cheese on toast and the toasted which were a more unusual take on those offered elsewhere. Will definitely go again when back in Chester.

Stayed in Chester for 3 days and for the first two days breakfast I came here, I was craving their avocado toast on the third day but got dragged somewhere else. The avo toast is lovely I’m usually not keen on sliced avo I prefer smashed but this has converted me it was so creamy and the sourdough was stunning it was a 10/10 for me. Cafe is small but welcoming can just get a bit crowded at times but that was no problem for me. I loved it and would defo come again if I’m back in Chester
