Beans Coffee Stop in East Northamptonshire

Had a few minutes to kill before I started work so went to get a coffee and a cake. Got a large mocha and a piece of smarties tiffin. The lady who served me was nice and friendly. The mocha was boiling hot and the tiffin was delicious! Didn't last long enough for me to take a pic. 🤭 Will definitely go back again.

Used Beans at the Oundle Sports Centre and was very disappointed. The service is not great - the waiting time for a single drink or food is very long even when 3 members of staff are working, with somewhat inappropriate conversation between the cafe and the centre’s staff. Tables aren’t clean, instead of cleaning them themselves, the staff have handed over their bottles of spray and cloths for you to do yourself. For what you get, i.e a smoothie with unblended fruit at the bottom at over £4, it is not worth the money!

Sat outside as no dog allowed inside, OK if the weather's good. Strange how some cafes allow dog inside and some don't.

Cycling stop off. Always great service and nothing too much trouble. Thank you.

Toasted sandwich was overcooked

The wifi hasn't worked here for weeks. They serve good coffee but the management clearly doesn't care about their customers.

Good food Great service A logical loyalty scheme 👌 Probably the best coffee option in oundle. It would be good if there were more plugs for peak times and maybe a coffee of the month along side the staple blend

Been here once before, had a lovely Jacket potato, good portions. Went again for breakfast only to be told they don’t do full english breakfasts on weekends, bizarre? Young waitresses are quite rude / snotty, which is a shame.

A lovely slice of cake and an excellent coffee was just what I needed. Great little coffee shop to spend an hour relaxing in.

Pleasant coffee shop in the middle of Oundle. Always pretty busy. Food is 'ok'. Sandwiches on display look reasonably filled. The bacon sandwich I ordered was ok enough, but a bit chewy. Not something I would repeat. Coffee is what I would class as a weak point. I tend to favour espresso and unfortunately Beans fall a little short in that department. The last three have been either watery, overly bitter, or unpleasantly sour. This I suspect is either an issue with the grind, or insufficient staff training. Either way, I shall look elsewhere for my morning caffeine fix.

Great coffee and tasty snacks. Brilliant for cyclist, only missing bike stand.

The lady in the shop next door hates cyclists so tend to go elsewhere 🤷🏼‍♂️

On my breakfast the eggs were overcooked and very dry. All the waiters have a sad face. It feels like they are waiting for all the guests to leave as quickly as possible. It's very noisy inside

The best wraps and sandwiches! Absolutely delicious with crunchy fresh salad and good quality fillings.

Nice cozy cafe it's no dogs policy makes this coffee awesome.

Very pleasant local coffee shop in the centre of the town. First visit to this place. Delicious mocha. The daim cake was very good and ironically is the only cake they do not make. If you are in the area I recommend a visit.

We stopped by for a quick coffee... It was buzzing in the shop with a real sense of community...wish we lived close by.

Lovely local relaxed coffee shop, great cake

Great coffee and a bacon butty. Go on... you know you want to

We took a day trip to Oundle from Stamford on our bikes. We stopped for lunch at Beans and was really impressed at the quality of food, coffee and variety of drinks and food on the menu. Overall we were really happy that we stumbled upon Beans and will be returning very soon.

Took 40 + mins for a fruit ice to be ready it’s rediculous I understand your busy but people who ordered after me got there’s first

Definitely worth visiting for lunch. The slice of quiche is melt in your mouth deliciousness and comes with a nice little side coleslaw and fresh simple salad. Well priced for the portion size

Great custom request coffee. I have extra this with non of that, ect. They were busy and had to wait but it was worth it. 🙂

Lovely coffee. Fast, friendly service and yummy fresh croissant.

extra for alternative milk, my mum's cake was stale, and her tea cup had soap around the rim making it sour to taste. My muffin was nice tho and fruit tea was refreshing and flavoursome.

Was quite disappointed with our visit. My tea cup was covered in dishwasher soap and my brownie was definitely stale. They obviously leave them out all week or longer. Actually revolting. Shame.

My son and I had a coffee here, he had something to eat, a sausage roll. He said it was piping hot and very tasty. Service was good, atmosphere friendly, coffee good.

A chance find which gave us lovely food (generous portions), lovely staff and the place was busy and buzzing

Best milkshakes itw. Ever. Not a debate, it’s a fact.

Great coffee in this very friendly cafe. Food pretty good too

Great independent cafe Service with a smile Reasonable prices. Homemade specials. Great cake selection. Support the independent. .

Good good, good value and good service. Nice to refresh and watch the local world go by. Mike & Jan

Great service, friendly staff yummy food and drinks were great and a good prices too.

A really nice atmosphere and lay out for a cafe to sit and catch up with friends. The coffee and cake (mars slice) were both excellent and would definitely recommend if visiting Oundle.

Great place to grab a drink and a cake or in our case bacon and sausage bagels

Very cute coffee shop in the middle of beautiful and historic Oundle. The menu is surprisingly robust as the shop seems to be sit up for a takeaway focus. The atmosphere is relaxed and open to the views of the town center. A few points to improve though. Some of the staff come off a bit apathetic to the customers; not all, but I have seen this a few times over a number of visits. This isn't atypical for a coffee shop, but can be a bit out of step compared to the rest of Oundle. Also, the wifi is poor. Seems like a small thing, but if you are stopping in to plan the rest of your day, it may be tough to do so if you need the internet.

Not any comfy seats but nice little coffee shop offering cruelty free coffees

Very disappointed after reading some of the reviews. We visited on the day of the Xmas market but it wasn't to busy when we entered. So it was a bit odd that the service was slow. The biggest let down was the Latte. It was so weak it could have been a cup of hot milk. Prices were about average.

Great place to stop off mid ride for a calorie top off. Great atmosphere on a Sunday morning where there were groups from all over congregating. Good range of food, and good coffee too. Milkshakes are also well recommended

Stopped here on a bike ride. Buzzing with cyclists, very fast service.

It's lovely here. Fairly priced. Great service and great food. Superb for breakfast and superb with kids and toddlers. Thank you

Nice quaint little coffee shop in the centre of oundle...didn't have food just a big hot choccy with the trimmings and a latte...staff very friendly 😁👍

Love Beans, the coffee is excellent, the cakes and food is delicious. It gets busy but it's worth the wait. Good choices on the menu. Lovely place to while away an hour

I was on day one of a four-day bike trip and I stopped at Beans because of it's reputation for being bike friendly. It was a nice location in a pretty little town. Although it was October, I sat outside as it was relatively mild, and I wanted to keep an eye on my bag-loaded bike (neat little rings on the wall to attach my lock to). Service was friendly (a little slow but they were rammed), the coffee hit the spot, and I had the most amazing veggie chilli! Perfect for fueling the rest of my cycling day. It can be a bit noisy out on the street, but its all part of the husle and busle of a busy little town!

Popular Cafe in town centre. Provided special request of hot milk with honey with no problem

Food was okay, but a a bit of taste was missing. Prices were also reasonable.

Great, friendly and fast service.

We had some excellent milkshakes today

This is very nice, good cup of coffee and toasted tea cake, facilities nice and clean, plenty of choice of coffee shops in this lovely town, couldn't not go in this one as my dog is called Bean, so this one's for her.

Very nice coffee and cake and not to bad price and nice staff

Excellent quality and very quiet place.

Get the impression that this cafe is run as someone's hobby. No substance or identity and the offerings worst to mediocre. Eggs benedict just awful, cheap slices of supermarket ham and the hollandaise sauce just awful and only tastes of vinegar!

Great coffee and a very full sandwich! Not cheap but great value for money. Sitting outside in the sun is blissful! Friendly staff and good service.

Great coffee and cake nice outside seating for bike riders.

Not bad, cappacino not as hot as I'd like it but tasted OK. Very busy little coffee shop. Oundle itself is very quaint.

Lovely hit lunch on a raining day, veggie chilli delicious

Stopped to break a long journey. Lunch was tasty with decent size portions. I would call in again if I ever found myself in Oundle again.

Very friendly service and nice cuppa

Found the fine taste of Flat White here. Best meeting spot. Will surely come back and updates. ☕🌼

Good food. Nice atmosphere. Recommended.

Great coffee along with a delicious bacon bap - perfect.

Great location, amazing food and drinks selection and fantastic staff

Popped in for a coffee. Ended up having a full English breakfast 🤣. Probably the best fry-up I've had. Everything cooked to perfection and top quality produce. Fantastic friendly service and spotlessly clean. Visited on a weekday morning so fairly quiet but steady flow of customers. Takeaway options also catered for. Highly recommended

Open fairly early. Friendly and helpful team. Good coffee. A good place for cyclists to meet and grab some refreshments. It is possible to leave bicycles in the courtyard to the rear but we were early so kept ours within sight. Return visit - The Brocoli and Stilton soup was excellent.

Bright and friendly with decent coffee and good pastries! 😊

Lovely little coffee shop that does Lovely food and cakes as well 👍

the food and drinks were lovely, staff were friendly and the place was clean. not too busy, i recommend

Nice soups, would appreciate the opportunity to request more variety IE have portions of other varieties of soups in the freezer

The wife's favourite place to visit for a drink when passing. And I like the bacon rolls 9/10

Nice drinks, nice atmosphere, nice staff, nice food, Verdict: nice!

Great food. Fast service. Excellent staff. Good parking.

5* always a nice atmosphere with polite staff. White hot chocolate & a Christmas rocky road 😋 absolutely spot on!👌

A pleasant place for a coffee and snack.

Great spot for a morning coffee! The service is always excellent.

Expensive and coffee not spcial

As always, fantastic service, delicious coffee, and tasty treats. A real gem in Oundle.

Friendly, good value, clean, nice drinks and snacks. Ideal for a light lunch whilst watching the world go by.

Great place for stop and coffee on my Cycle ride.

Excellent coffee, and polite staff. Well done for a great relaxing atmosphere

Great place for coffee!! Really good oat lattes there also!

Excellent coffee, cakes and traybakes.

A nice spot to view the to-ings and fro-ings in the village. All items are priced OK and of good quality but ordering and bringing to the table can be slow as well as clearing tables.

Visited on a Saturday morning so it wasn't too busy. Quite a few people popped in for takeaways. The restrictions had lifted but it was nice to see the staff still wearing masks, it made me feel more comfortable. Had a lovely latte and sausage bap to start the day.

Friendly, good service....nice coffee

Good small business coffee shop. Can be busy especially with weekend cyclists etc.

I ordered the sticky toffee pudding cake. And large classic hot chocolate. I love this independent coffee shop, recommended you go there!

Very friendly service, lovely chocolate milkshake and cyclist friendly 😁

Great place to stop for a refreshing break from touring the area. Outdoor seating available which was a nice touch for a summers day (without rain, yes - this is in England....).

Coffee good and cakes nice, nothing stunning as a place to visit decor wise, very basic

Just what's needed if you're out for a ride or drive and fancy a nice cuppa and a pastry.

Good to see the Oundle Corner Cafe back to strength post lockdown...had a delicious pancake stack with bacon and maple syrup

Ordered breakfast here today- poached eggs on toast and a sausage sandwich. Waited a while for the food to arrive - came out with the wrong order, a bacon sandwich. Queried this with the waitress- no apology - just “well that’s what it was put through as”. Made us feel unwelcome... The toast was burnt in the poached eggs also.. very disappointing given the cost.

Great coffee, fabulous service and a mean bacon sandwich!

Friendly, lovely atmosphere. Always a pleasure to visit beans.

Excellent take away coffee and cakes.

Great coffee and cake stop. Worth the 30 mile each way cycle. Very popar with the general public and cyclists alike, for good reason. Coffee is great and the cakes are tasty. Brilliant to see them encouraging the use of reusable cups too

Great coffee and cakes. Top stop on a ride.

Friendly service, great coffe and sweet treats

It is a nice small and cozy coffee place with decent coffee

Prompt table service, friendly atmosphere
