Bean & Bread in Monmouthshire

Took around 15 minutes to order and be served coffee and custard tarts. Waiter was chatting away to the colleague who was pouring the coffee. Limited parking time makes this a big problem as well as being stressful. The decor is excellent and the idea of plant cuttings displayed on the wall in tubes for you to take away is very novel. Prices were average. There is outside seating available.

The Rogerstone Bean and Bread is, without doubt, one of the nicest experiences that I have had since moving to the area. Fabulous coffee { *served at the correct temperature), they are delightful to my Labrador …. The staff are way beyond lovely and the food is great.. A very far cry from another venue quite close (attached to a garden centre is a clue) ; after a miserable experience on several occasions there…whilst small and bijou , this place is a revelation.

Popped in for coffee late morning. Ordered a chai latte and have never had one anywhere near as good at any cafe I’ve ever been to ever! It was simply unbelievably good. It arrived with a strainer and a little pot of maple syrup, which I’ve never had before. I will be going back for sure! Really lovely waitress too and nice vibe. Definitly a great spot to go to when in Abergavenny.

Lovely find on the entrance to the town. Gorgeous decor of lots of plants and nature with a cute terrace. Food was absolutely delish and can’t stop raving about the mince on toast. Cakes were lovely and menu catered for my vegan friend with great selection without being a massive list of offerings. Have already recommended to friends who will be visiting from London over Easter.

Really delicious, original breakfasts and a good cup of coffee. Even when busy the service is friendly and the environment warm and inviting

Really great brunch spot. Delicious range of meal choices all of which seem carefully put together. Fantastic drink choices too! The strawberry juice was really refreshing and the coffee flight was fab as well. Lovely setting inside too ☀️

Nice option for brunch or coffee and cake

I’ve been a regular at Bean & Bread over the past couple of years and have always loved visiting, especially because they advertised themselves as a ‘dog friendly’ brunch spot. However, after my latest experience, I’m really disappointed. I recently took a young puppy with me, who barked a little as we arrived, again when another dog came in, and once more when we were asked to sit outside. While I completely understand that a barking dog can be disruptive, it was quite embarrassing, especially as I was with my disabled mother. It feels like dogs are only welcome if they are completely silent, which isn't very realistic — especially for young ones. Sadly, it seems Bean & Bread isn’t as dog friendly as they claim to be. I won’t be returning with the dogs — I’ll be choosing somewhere that is genuinely welcoming to all. It’s a real shame as I used to enjoy coming here.

Poor service from start to finish, me and my wife decided to have breakfast there both ordered full English so they brought the food out then they forgot the cutlery so we waited 5-10 mins for the cutlery whilst watching the waitresses walk past us twice serving other people whilst we sat watching our food go cold! So in the end I managed to get the cutlery my self! 2 full English 2 coffees and a watered down ice tea £45! Poor service! Over priced! Won’t be rushing to come back.

Popped in today for lunch. Waited around an hour for some very expensive minced lamb on a slice of toast. It tasted great but was definitely not worth the money or the wait. Atmosphere is lovely and coffee and cakes looked good but wouldn't visit again for anything more.

First time visiting for food, and I couldn't be more impressed... as a coeliac you never know what the quality of things like the bread will be and for me it can really elevate the offering .. it can be ok, good or fantastic... Well ...Bean and Bread get my top marks for the best gluten free bread I've had yet. Lovely local eggs too with the salmon and poached eggs on toast it was so delicious as was the americano, such good rich coffee.... thank you 😋. I'll be back next time I'm in town !!!

Really lovely brunch as always ! Unfortunately it took over half an hour for our food to arrive .

Lovely place, friendly staff, good food, dog friendly

Love to chill at Bean & Bread after wandering up Skirrid. Lovely focaccia and croquet monsieur and cakes and coffee, just super. Shame we can't come more often

Great catch up with friends on an extremely wet and dismall day. the freshness and quality in the beautiful decor made everything better after getting soaked. the Thai mushrooms on toast are amazing

The chocolate crofin croffin was amazing, generous amount of chocolate filling and the size was huge. My husband had black currant cream croffin. Taste amazing, generous amount of cream. Pretty interior and very cozy

Loved this place so much, seriously good brunch. Started with a coffee 'flight' which is something I've not seen before but it was a great idea. Turkish Eggs with a side of Hash Browns was delicious, especially as a vegetarian breakfast. All the other food we had was great, I also enjoyed a beetroot latte. Good choice of cakes and cookies too. Really nice vibe inside and lovely staff, highly recommended.

Very strong coffee, it packs a punch. Staff were a little bit cranky but it was a Monday morning so I guess I’ll let it slide. Beautiful interior.

Great little find Stayed here around 45 minutes. This is a very popular place, there were a few people waiting for a table. We only wanted a mid day snack, the soup was one of the best we've tasted, tea and coffee was also great 😋 There is a toilet here, no table service.

Really nice place to be with great coffee and cakes!

Really great place for a break, interesting and tasty selection on the menu.

This is my third time visiting bean and bread and it never disappoints. The food is great and they have options for different dietary requirements including vegan options. My son was especially pleased with the vegan cruffin (at £5 I thought this was a little on the expensive side but he thought it was delicious). The coffee is really good too. Due to the popularity of the place you may have to wait for a table, especially during busy times like weekends and holidays.

Had a lovely light lunch here today. Nlcely laid out and designed space, great menu and lovely cakes and coffee...Very nice staff too. 10/10!

Lovely cafe with a cozy vibe. Delicious vegan and gluten free options. We had the sticky Prana chai, Thai mushrooms and Miso beans - like a little bit of yummy food magic!

Called in on our way to a family lunch, we had coffee and some blueberry loaf cake which was absolutely delicious 😋 ... will definitely call again

Lovely coffee. Very tasty food, just a tad on the expensive side side.

Very lovely coffee shop The Vegan choices are very interesting and extremely tasty. I had the Thai mushroom choice, so nice Definitely worth a visit and we will come back. The Vegan hot chocolate is amazing Lots of choices of Vegan cakes.

Really tasty food, lovely vibe, cosy setting. Definitely recommend.

Lovely homely cafe,lovely atmosphere

Excellent but expensive. Nice atmosphere

Exploring Abergavenny away from the main high street shopping area behind the market stumbled upon a little paradise of delights. Such a refreshing approach to indulgence of coffee, food and cakes.

Amazing food. Only problem is it's so good you may have to wait for a table to be free 😀

Good quality nice toast not enough options went to go get Greggs instead whilst the rest of my family ate there. Very loud tables full of half eaten food. What kind of breakfast place doesn't serve breakfast they have breakfast buns and salmon on toast but no English breakfast and no kids menu but nice toast

Beautiful food, great selection and nice chilled atmosphere. Highly recommended!

Allowed an hour to have breakfast before catching a train. After a forty minute wait we asked a waitress to help and ten minutes later our food arrived allowing us ten minutes to eat it. My pancakes were so dry they were almost unpalatable. Nice plants and atmosphere but a very unsettling to pay £30 for such a disappointing experience.

I was taken to this beautiful qaunit cafe on my visit to this very pretty town. Must say the decor is so stunning with all the greenery, Cafe had a lovely vibe to the place. I was served by Chelsea, she was very pleasant and welcoming. My ciabatta sandwich was stunning, loved the fresh flavour combination, 10/10.

Gorgeous cafe…Beautiful plants & vibe! Great brunch with super friendly staff <3 a bonus that our choccy crossiant was 10/10

I ate at the Rogerstone venue and had the seat nearest the counter. WAY too cramped as people queuing and picking up were standing right by my table. I would not come in here again. Food was fine but the floor was dirty, table not cleared and it wasn’t that busy.

Two visits here in my very short stay in the area for work. Was only early enough for breakfast both days but the whole menu looked incredible! Such amazing food, lovely service, gorgeous decor and close to parking!

Was cycling in the area and stopped for lunch and a coffee. Coffee was very nice as were the Turkish eggs. Portions could be bigger but were very tasty. Small discount if arriving by bike as well!

The food is absolutely amazing but the only thing is the portion, which is too small, especially smoked Salmon.

Staff were so lovely and the atmosphere was really nice. The vegan chocolate and banana cake was delicious - really moist, sticky and a rich dark flavour.

Excellent cafe for good food any time of day. Great veggie options with a fresh taste in every dish, superbly brewed coffee and friendly service. Very dog friendly too.

Lovely venue great coffee and breakfast served by lovely staff very friendly. Been three times on our trip to Wales. Best coffee in town☕️☕️

I had visited the Abergavenny branch before which was great, and I was so pleased when I saw one was opening a bit closer to home, I took a detour from my commute to pop in and was so glad I did, I just had a coffee and a massive almond croissant which was delicious, freshly made and really enjoyable. Staff where friendly and seemed to know exactly what they where doing despite the store only being a few days old I loved the asthetic of the bare plaster walls and courtyard looked great too, I would like some cushions on the chairs though as they’re quite hard. Coffee excellent, card payment system excellent, was asked if I wanted to join a Loyalty scheme which I would normally do but I’m not local to the area. A great place all round, if I’m in the area il certainly visit again

Great coffee! Definitely a favourite

Great food (Turkish eggs) and drink (iced tea) food definitely looked like it came from quality ingredients. Friendly service and a nice atmosphere

We were excited to try the new branch based in Rogerstone. On arriving, the staff were very friendly and provided prompt service. I ordered a breakfast. At £13, and from the description, I wrongly assumed it would be a decent portion. The sausage patty was tiny. The piece of sourdough toast matched the size of the poached egg - far too small. The mushrooms resembled those you would find in a tin. I’m not really sure what I would liken the rosti to but it had a bit of a spicy kick to it. I wouldn’t rush back, which is a shame. Overall, it was a very expensive brunch where I went home hungry.

The lady who served me was nice, the cafe was clean but unfortunately they were out of stock of 2 things I wanted. The food and drink was nice but very overpriced for what it was. Essentially 1 long piece of toast with a spread, cost £5.50 with a disappointing coffee for £4.00. Perhaps they had an off day!

What a stunning place! Amazing food and beautiful setting.

A lovely little cafe serving healthy food a bit pricey though

Relaxing cafe with nice decor. Music was calming and the place had a nice atmosphere.

Lovely menu of fresh and light breakfast/brunch options for both vegetarian/vegan and meat eaters. Coffee was incredible too, from a coffee fan! A bit crowded, but just shows the popularity with other cafes nearby much quieter. Also dog friendly with a smile for our spaniel and free water etc.

Friendly cafe. I had the smoked salmon on sourdough with a beetroot cream cheese spread excellent. Lemon and blueberry slice very good too.

We only popped in for coffee, which was very nice. We sat outside. However, inside was full and had a great atmosphere. Will definitely return to sample the food 😍😍

Absolutely love this place. Will happily drive from Monmouth just to have a coffee & take in the atmosphere.

A lovely coffee shop, dog and kid friendly. Had a long lunch, with food that took time to come as it was freshly prepared. Great coffee (we're from NZ and a little spoilt there!). Would definitely recommend 👌

Delicious brunch and delicious coffee. Beautiful vibe with all the indoor plants. Also dog friendly- would recommend!

We spent a lovely brunch in this restaurant. It's a really relaxed environment where the staff are very friendly.

My husband and I found this place by chance, when going out for a little celebration. The decor is lovely, with so many plants and a homely atmosphere. There were also free plant cuttings which is a great idea. I ordered a chai latte with oat milk and it was loose leaf, with a little steel pan and strainer, which was super cute! It was a little pricier than expected, but it was a really tasty chai and very nicely presented. There were a good selection of vegan cakes, including a cinnamon bun and Biscoff slice, which was a little bit amazing! I will definitely come back to Bean & Bread if I'm back in the area. Thanks guys!

We came for lunch and enjoyed it so much that we returned the next week and ordered the very same meal: Turkish eggs and burnt basque cheese cake with coffee. Tasty food. Nicely presented. Sensible portions. Would give 5 stars but a large dog was at next table and the music was unsuitable and too loud. These 2 things spoiled the ambiance of this lovely lunch spot.

Stopped in for a light lunch, it was awesome, the Hummus Toast was amazing, well worth a visit. We come to Abergavenny a lot and wish we had visited sooner.

We really liked the brunch offering at Bean & Bread, but they now have a heavily reduced menu until 11.30am. We don’t understand why they’ve done this and it’s put us off going, as if we aren’t eating until after 11.30 then we might as well wait and have lunch (for which there are loads more options locally).

Nicest brunch stop in Abergavenny by far😍 the food was excellent, fresh and local ingredients, the staff was lovely. We’ll be back!

Our whole group loved this beautiful cafe. The decor, the graphics, the efficient friendly staff, the coffee, the cakes and the loos were all exceptional. Gluten free options and inclusivity made it a very happy experience for us on our journey through Wales. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

This is my idea of the perfect coffee shop. The Coffee and cake were amazing. We started the morning here and after walking around for a while sight seeing we came back later to have another drink.

We have been visiting Bean & Bread for the past 5yrs and love it, the atmosphere, the service, the coffee & food along with the presentation is always amazing .. thank you!

Lovely coffee and cakes. Cinnamon buns are amazing 😊

Lovely fresh and cozy place to have bit of brunch and a warm beverage. They have seating outside too which is great for summer time. Can have large tables booked too for special occasions.

Highly recommend the mince on toast. Delicious!

Had breakfast there yesterday, coffee and food were delicious

Excellent breakfast and very friendly service. Poached egg on toast perfectly cooked and great coffee. Lovely atmosphere, perfect for Sunday morning brekkie

Great coffee shop in the town and competes with Coffi Lab for top spot. Shop was busy - clearly a good sign and there were ample food choices and drink choices to suit all. Design of the restaurant is chilled and there’s a lot of space. Coffee was enjoyable and staff were friendly. Didn’t try the sit down food however it did look good as I walked past and would’ve tried had we had more time. Definitely recommend for takeaway / for a visit if you are in the area.

Had the Bean and Bread with a side of hash brown and halloumi - all of it was fantastic. Everyone was really friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend dropping in.

What a local treasure! Absolutely delicious food (that comes with incredible sourdough bread), warm, modern and light atmosphere, and tasty drinks too. Highly recommend to anyone passing by 🥰 PS: try the iced latte with homemade vanilla syrup, it is to die for!

Nice place for a good coffee and scrummy cake 🙂

Stopped in for a quick snack. Lovely cafe friendly staff and lovely feel to the place. Will definitely be back.

Super hot chocolate and the Hazelnut Chocolate Torte is fantastic!

What a great place to visit, fantastic coffee and cakes, friendly staff and a relax atmosphere, the decor is beautiful. Would highly recommend

My wife and I had breakfast here and it was beautiful

Such a great place, highly recommend, delicious lunch, amazing chai latte, super friendly and efficient staff, very dog friendly, I’ll be back again soon, thank you!

Best coffee in Abergavenny. We don't live locally but enjoy a walk and wander round Abergavenny and always make the time to pop in (or outside!) for a coffee. Good gluten free options if you're peckish and staff are diligent about asking about allergies.

This is a really lovely chilled place to go for breakfast/brunch. Staff are really pleasant and the food is good and a bit different.

Absolutely lush, loved the staff, the interiors and the food, my new favourite spot!!

I think the restaurant was inspired by a trip to New Zealand - certainly has a bit of that feel - great coffee and food plus loved the plants - so many - and they have a wall with glass test-tubes that often has free cuttings for the cafe guests.

So so lovely, lush interiors, lush atmosphere absolutely loved the food will definitely come back ! The staff were so lovely!! My new favourite spot!

A lovely cafe with good facilities including dissabled toilets. Great coffee! Plus tasty meals and cakes. I loved the plant cuttings in rows on the wall for customers to take if they want

What a gem of a place: wheelchair access and toilet, dog friendly, great coffees and meals. The service was exceptional and they even changed my coffee because the long black had more water than I am used to. We will be back.

Love the style of this place. Great decor, healthy fayre & nice staff. Been here few times & despite being quite expensive don’t mind paying for quality. Today I took my son for a treat & we came out feeling ripped off & still hungry. Great coffee but small, good pear juice, lovely sourdough toast but expensive and again minimal. Turkish eggs were tasteless and watery, pumpkin tasty but not enough. Expect to be full after spending £16 each. Don’t get too greedy!!!

Great sourdough, very good oat milk latte. Great vibe. Highly recommend

Lovely little gem, food was fresh, fantastic and super friendly staff. Kids loved he French toast! No problem with dogs either.

Beautiful coffee fantastic breakfast

Superb vegetarian options. Buzzing atmosphere. Great cakes & savoury for brekkie. The spot to come to on a drizzly day.

Super cafe! Wonderful food and service! Great atmosphere and the place to be on Sunday morning or at any time!

What a lovely place. I had my first pumpkin spiced latte and the Turkish eggs both delicious, will definitely be going back

What a massive disappointment.!My Husband called to buy 3 pastries to have with our morning coffee. Unfortunately £10.00 lighter. Like chewing leather. They were not freshly baked, tasted stale. Sorry won’t be coming back and certainly won’t recommend breakfast pastry buy.

Congratulations to the owner, management and service team on what is an absolute gem of coffee shop! A cool, chilled vibe awaits when you walk into this lovely space. Such a relaxing ambiance to sit and enjoy what has to be some of the best coffee I have had on the planet. But the food! Wow! The breakfast was just exquisite. I consider myself fairly well traveled and as a food professional, I have to again congratulate you on the menu and execution of some amazing colours, flavours and textures - truly outstanding - well done! Tucked away in Abergavenny, this is a must visit for anyone wanting an amazing eating experience.

Bright and breezy environment and chilled out music but above all good coffee and excellent cakes, even the gluten free, a delicious choice for the non gluten intolerant

Nice environment. Chilled out music. Great cakes ( delicious baked cheesecake) and interesting sandwiches. Coffee was really good. They also do good nice cocktails! Easy to park in Morrisons supermarket car park and just hop over the road to Bean &Bread. Definitely recommend.

Mooie frisse zaak met mooi vers lokaal gebak en heerlijke goed gemaakte koffie’s Vlotte bediening en mooie inrichting
