Enjoyed a very filling and tasty breakfast here this morning, with our 10 month old puppy, and made to feel very welcome. I had the asparagus and wild mushrooms on toast with cream cheese and some extra bacon and hash browns and hubby had the full cooked breakfast. Place has a great vibe, and has its regulars too. Would definitely be back if we lived closer!

visited a few times before, was always one of my favourite places to go when in eastbourne food is always good with great coffee. However i returned around mother’s day with my mum and had the manager make us feel like we were bothering him. I work in the catering industry full time and really do sympathise with beanz employees and managers due to how busy it gets, but this day wasn’t too busy and considering i only asked a couple of questions politely i didn’t see a reason for the blunt answers. As someone who often overthinks it really ruined my experience and i won’t be returning. Ive seen a lot of reviews about Carl on here and thought i should say that i’m not trying to offend him, i do understand some people are just not naturally smiley, but i believe this incident was just plain rude. Ive just come on here to share my experience with others. Although i won’t be returning to beanz i do urge those who like a good breakfast or brunch to give it a go!

love the food, great quality and big portions!!! also has a really nice interior, colourful with nice seating. My only complaint would be the prices are quite high - would definitely come here more often if it was more affordable but still one of my favourite places in eastbourne :))

Come here often. Food is the best, just wish I had a bigger stomach so I could order more haha. Service is great, everyone is very friendly. The decoration is really nice too and I like the different colours and cool figures out on display. Honestly nothing bad to say about this cafe, 10/10

Love this place! The brunch menu is delicious, quality ingredients and generous portions. The wild mushrooms and asparagus on toast is amazing, and the full English if you're feeling particularly hungry. Staff are great, and there's always a queue at weekends which is a sign it's good!

I stopped to get a quick cappuccino on my journey to leave Eastbourne. Rude service. I went in, immediately a person said "Stop here behind the hand on a stick, are you eating in?" I said "No takeaway." They had no large, just one size. I paid and stepped back from counter to wait. The owner said "Go outside," I said "Sorry but I'm waiting for my coffee. I may need sugar." She said "Yes, wait outside." I have never been told to leave a shop to wait for a coffee. It made me angry. After a ten minute wait, someone came out with 2 coffees. They were cold and so was I. Couldn't be bothered to argue - it just ruined my morning 😕

Used to enjoy coming here, but unfortunately the food and service just keep getting worse. Wait times are unnecessarily long, especially given the quality of the food. Some members of staff are absolutely lovely, while some come across as rather stand-offish. Really disappointed, will have to find a new café for our weekends.

Friendly service and quick to be seated on a busy Saturday. The food was beautifully presented and tasted as good as it looked. Lovely to see a coffee shop with such a lively atmosphere with a 100 tolerance approach to laptops that ensured while tables were all full they were alll being utilised by customers appreciating great food. Highly recommend

In 2017 I gave 5 stars. However, this place is no longer my favourite since their move up the road. I miss their chilled out basement and have been elsewhere since when out for tea and cake. I used to love going here all the time with friends or on my own with my book/journal/study etc. Not the same now. Went back for the first time today. Chai latte was lukewarm and vibe wasn't as good. Such a sad loss

I was a regular client of this place and found it satisfactory overall. The set up is nice and the kitchen is good but the coffee could be better. However, I had an issue with customer service, especially with Carl, the manager (and I think the owner too). On a particular day in November, I returned to the place after being too busy before. When I came back, there were several tables available, but Carl insisted on seating me in the same inconvenient place as before, which I rejected. I left feeling upset, as he was unwilling to accommodate my simple request (not the first time either). I came back after a few minutes, hoping to get an explanation from Carl as to why he always expects me, as a single person, to be seated in places which I find uncomfortable when there are plenty of choices available. I told him calmly that I knew he didn't like me and that I didn't like him either due to the vibes I got from him but I wasn't ranting or making a scene; regardless I just wanted to tell him, that I felt indeed discriminated whenever he directs me to the same sort of seats. He ended up saying: “if you don't like me just go somewhere else” and I said: “of course I don't like you… why should I? You always seem in a hurry to get rid of me, always asking me too eagerly “take away?” when is obvious I'm approaching the seating area and when you know quite well that I never actually do that, so no, I really I don't, you never nice to me and in fact you are always a jerk (or a..hole) and left (no shouting). After a few months, I wasn't in any hurry to go back, but my friend wanted to try it and I was curious because I actually thought he might had changed for the better! I did mention the incident to her but honestly I didn't think it had resulted in me being banned. However, we were denied entry on the grounds of my “abusive behaviour” despite my friend showing clear signs of mobility issues due to her disability. Again I think that alone is a complete lack of any professional judgement. Now after reading the rather inaccurate and biased response to my friend’s review by Beanzz “spokesperson” I feel compelled to write about my experience. I realised that I should have known better, especially in a place where when one speaks out about anything due bad customer service the only answer is “sorry about that” without any attempt to do better. If you are willing to put up with an attitude that takes customers for granted please call into this place but keep in mind there are plenty of good choices nearby that genuinely will value you regardless of the size of your party or your seat preferences.

I had never been before, but a friend suggested we go. I walked in and the owner said, 'No, she (my friend) is banned. She knows why.' I was shocked. I hasten to add, I am disabled, I use crutches, and am unable to walk far. We had got out of a taxi outside. But, he sent us away. My friend explained she had always found him quite rude and abrupt, and that she had questioned him the last time she was there. He obviously did not like a woman questioning him.

Popped in for a bite to eat as I liked the lampshades and was comforted by how busy the establishment was. Nicely decorated and well appointed, we grabbed a table and checked out the menu, full English £14.20 for me and a veggie breakfast for my wife at £14.20, with a couple of lattes at £7+ The veggie option has Avocado, my wife's not a fan so that was removed. The full English comes with black pudding and sausages, I dont like either and requested them to not be served, I did however ask for a bacon as a replacement, and was told in a sharp manner "I WILL be charging you for the bacon, so do you still want it?" Now at £3.00 for an extra slice this full English is coming in at £17.20 without a drink. It had better be good. Prices Additional Sausage £3.20 Additional Bacon £3.00 Additional Black pudding £2.80 Additional Avocado £3.90 We removed £9.90 according to their retail prices. Having the audacity to charge a customer another £3 with a straight face is beyond me. That's my first gripe The food is not all that, served in what looks like a dog food bowl. I STRONGLY suspect the majority of which had been microwaved. Poached eggs are a dead giveaway as were the mushrooms. Precooked bacon then zapped too. The bread was very good though so they definitely have a toaster. My wife left her veggie sausages, she actually removed the partially chewed substance with a tissue, not something I can ever recall her doing in 30 years of marriage. The staff were friendly enough, although I get the impression that they'd rather you ate and left ASAP. They have strict rules in this place with regards to devices and hey I'm not complaining, I think to many people hug a coffee, taking up tables whilst working away from the office. It must really hurt turning customers away. But in this day and age its a brave policy non the less. I think the staff could do with retaining to talk directly to their team leaders, rather than shouting their toilet needs across the dining floor! I should have read the other reviews before entering :( much nicer establishments within walking distance.

Used to be our go to breakfast place every weekend, always great food, good cake and welcoming staff, we feel has since gone downhill a bit lately, the last breakfast we ordered, came out super quick and none of it tasted like it was cooked fresh, the sausage had a weird taste like it was boiled? I could be wrong, We fully understand that the place gets busy and the staff on the floor are always really friendly but we felt the man on our last visit, that I assume is the owner, stood right next to us while we were eating, kept staring at us like he was waiting for us to hurry up and eat to get the table back, Not sure what his role was being on the floor, it seemed like he was keeping an eye on the staff or something, We didn't like the atmosphere or the food this time, shame

Dec 23 Sadly have had to amend my previous review in the light of subsequent experiences. The owner (male) has frankly made us feel patronised, a nuisance and unwelcome. He really should not be front of house regardless of the justifications for his "naturally scowling countenance" outlined by his co-owner on another major review site. If you are working in a service industry granted there will be days when it can feel a challenge, and if one's own countenance in repose is naturally unsmiling then somehow you need to slap one on and then engage with your customers. It's a shame because the staff in general are lovely and the food great. But we stopped patronising Beanz on the back of the owner's "unfortunate manner" Pre Jan23 review Great food, and lovely vibe. Rigid about kitchen closing at 2.50 even for regular customers, we arrived at 2.50 and staff member who showed us to table said to us to order at the counter but didn't think to say food orders finishing now. 4 mins later we were too late. Left with a bit of a bruise ....

I stepped into Beanzz this afternoon at 15:40 - clutching my phone, iPad and car keys - following an investigative walk past a couple of properties for sale in the immediate area. Fully aware of the imminent closing time of 16:00, my intention was to enjoy a cup of coffee, a slice of cake, and to look at the properties’ details on the Rightmove App, before heading home. After clarifying that it was coffee and cake I wanted, rather than the more substantial kitchen offerings, I was told by a staff member that I would not be allowed to use my 9.7” iPad. Naturally I asked why. The answer was that they did not want people working in the establishment using laptops or iPads. I let them know that I was not working and that I would be using the Rightmove app upon my iPad to look at a couple of properties I had just seen. Permission was still firmly refused. It became apparent however, that I would be allowed to view the very same Rightmove app upon my phone (a 6.8” Samsung Galaxy Ultra). For clarification, and with the remaining coffee-drinking, cake-quaffing, and property detail-viewing time now reduced to a meagre 17 minutes, I asked for confirmation that I would be allowed to view the Rightmove app on my phone, but I would not be allowed to view the very same app on my iPad. This was indeed confirmed. Firmly confirmed. Thinking I had travelled through a time warp into an episode of Fawlty Towers, Beadles About, or the ‘Jobsworth’ segment of That’s Life - I let it known that I had decided not to offer my custom. One of the issues with age-related degenerative eye conditions is that the smaller the text or image, the more difficult it is to see – and, of course, the reverse. So off I went to the delightful café just opposite on the corner. The title of this review may seem a little suggestive, but to many people, three inches truly does matter. A lot.

Invited to go here to meet with colleagues who work at the nearby Town Hall. On opening my laptop an extremely rude waiter came - with the apparent intention of closing the lid on it himself - and proclaimed "no laptops", and pointed at an A4 highly text-written piece of paper on the wall, this written in English language and quite lengthy. There is nothing [to date] on the website or Facebook stating that the cafe is a laptop-free zone. Whilst this is admirable, and maybe even a selling point to some, the rudeness of the waiter was breath-taking, and resulted in my entire party leaving the cafe, very unlikely ever to return. Although anything the cafe, the owner or its staff can do is likely to win my custom, in order to keep others I would [1] Declare the cafe a laptop free zone proudly and boldly across all social media and web presence, [2] use emoji-style signage to declare the rule (a laptop in a red Cross perhaps?), and [3] make sure their staff are courteous at all times which evidently they are not. One bad apple...

Asked the male employee at front of house (who turned out to be incredibly snarky, rude and obnoxious) to call us when a table became free for us. Informed we would have to stand outside and wait for 45 minutes, and that if we walked off from the front of the store we would be removed from the wait list.

I have visited this establishment on multiple occasions as I always enjoy the food. However, the experience I have received every time I visit from the front of house manager is always aggressive, stressy and rude and you are hit with all their rules immediately. In addition the vibe is intended to be relaxed, but as a customer you always feel like you are rushed to give up your table! We have approached him about his attitude and customer service style and he has talked us down and belittled us and then told us to leave if we don’t like it, which we did. It is a real shame. We previously messaged the restaurant when he behaved like it before and received no reply, but gave it the benefit of the doubt as we liked the food, only for the behaviour to be repeated. Whilst waiting outside another couple arrived and were treated the same way. They gave up and said they don’t need the attitude and rules.

I often go to Beanzz with friends as the food and coffee is good, but I increasingly have mixed feelings about the place. The positives: - the food is consistently good, - the portions are immense (eat breakfast at Beanzz and you definitely do not need any lunch, possibly not even dinner!) - they serve a decent cup of coffee (which only a handful of places in Eastbourne seem able to do). - their garden is beautiful. - they have a variety of vegan options. The negatives: They have become victims of their own success: - Beanzz always seems to be busy (that’s a good thing), but that makes it REALLY noisy - it’s not a chilled-out chatty vibe, it’s so noisy that my throat was sore after I left this past weekend, from raising my voice such that my friends could hear me speak over the din. The high ceilings, hard floors, wooden tables & chairs, bounce the sound around terribly, and sadly the recent addition of a couple of sofas doesn’t seem to have helped. Maybe some rugs would absorb some sound. - On our last visit (a bright sunny autumn day) the garden was closed which is such a shame - If they had patio heaters, the garden would be a lovely place to sit all year around. Someone said the steps were too slippery (In which case brush away the leaves & paint them with non non-slip paint), but I suspect it is more that the kitchen cannot keep up with orders at busy times when both the cafe and garden are full. - Carl (one of the owners) comes across as extremely stressed-out when it is busy, and can be very abrupt and unwelcoming. Bianca, on the other hand, is always smiling and polite. On several occasions he has told us we would need to wait 30-45 minutes for a table, but has then seated us almost immediately (what is that all about?). My friend attempted to make polite conversation by asking him a question, to which he snapped “No” and turned away. You get the feeling that he doesn’t want you there, and that’s a shame, since the customers are what make the place successful, and at quieter times he really is a lot more congenial.

I visit Beanzz frequently. I enjoy the food and the serving staff are all great. I have had a number of interactions with the man who appears to be the manager all of which have been passive aggressive and negative on his part. Today after being ushered outside into the cold with a 9 month old baby, without complaint, we also ordered coffees whist waiting for a table. The manager came out without apology, please or thankyou exclaiming to my 76 year old mother that we could not place the chairs where we had. It was very awkward and the delivery and tone unnecessary. We did eat but on reflection I will not be visiting again, which is a real shame and entirely caused by the manager. I hope he improves for the sake of their business.

Oh dear Beanzz, what’s happened to you? As a regular goer to Beanzz I opted to take a friend for breakfast today. As usual the atmosphere was wonderful but the food has seriously gone down hill. I always order the bacon, Brie and chilli jam sandwich because it has always been cooked with love and tastes amazing! Today was very different. When my meal arrived I asked if the streaky bacon could be cooked more because there was no crisp and it was like eating raw fat. The answer to my query was “I’m sorry that’s just how the bacon comes” it would have taken them two mins to crisp up the bacon on my plate but they couldn’t be bothered. I left hungry, unimpressed by the service and will never be going again.

Once we got a table it was very good. Staff were not overly helpful in seating us but once we had a table they were very helpful.

There’s no doubt that the food and coffee are great here, but we waited 40 minutes for our breakfasts today and with no word of an apology when they finally arrived. Service is usually fairly fast so I was surprised it took so long today. Staff are generally friendly and the garden is lovely.

We stopped by for a quick lunch and were really impressed by this spot in Little Chelsea in Eastbourne. Great menu with healthy and curated options. Amazing options also for vegans and vegetarians. Coffee was great. I wish we tried the cakes as they seemed super yummy but our focaccia sandwiches were quite filling. We sat outside in the garden and it was lovely. We’ll definitely pay a visit if we happen to be in Eastbourne again.

Beanzz easily has the best coffee and breakfast in town. The food always arrives promptly and the portions are generous. The only problem is who I can only assume to be the manager. He is ridiculously rude and unfriendly. After you place your order, he is always stood at the end of the bar with his arms crossed, scowling. To the point where I have had to PRE WARN anyone I have suggested the cafe to/ been with personally. I have witnessed him be sarcastic and patronising to customers on multiple occasions. Personally I just stay out of his way and ignore him. Their Instagram page is laughable, full of unprofessional, hastily written posts on stories. The sort of thing you would post after having one too many…It’s all just a bit cringeworthy and embarrassing. Again, can’t fault the food and drink. I would strongly advise Beanzz to review this staff member in particular, and their social media posts because it really is off putting.

Beanz food and atmosphere is great.No matter what you have on the menu it never disappoints. Unfortunately the thing that lets them down is their social media presence, the posts are always about the rules they have in place and recently have become more aggressive towards customers. I feel this is extremely unprofessional and shows the management in a bad light. This place has so much potential and seeing how there seems to be so many ‘Rules’ in place ruins their ‘relaxed’ environment. I recommend their waffles with bacon.

There is nothing worse than getting a marmalade jar full of bits of butter and crumbs to go with toast. Put me off. Get individual pots

We ate in the very nice garden behind. Luckily it was a nice sunny day. Menu was fairly simple but most enjoyable. Even the thirsty dogs were catered for with bowls of water.

Had coffee and cakes in the cafe and the quality is very good. However, prices are not marked on the cakes and although the cakes were excellent, the total cost for us with coffee was very expensive. Good for special occasions.

Be aware this is a very popular place so don't be surprised if you have to wait a very short while for a seat, it's worth it. Will be a new regular for me, plus the cakes are insane.

Hey hey hey, this place is just radiating good vibes. And that's just the start. Honestly the only thing they could do better is EXPAND. I love beanz and that's best way I could put it. The staff are great and the veggie breakfast is flawless. I'm currently dipping my toes into the less carnivorous life style and beanz just made it so easy. So so easy. Wowie the venue was also cute but classy. Okie dokie, In conclusion visit beanz! It's that simple. will definitely be taking the family here again Hurhha VIVA le beanz 5/5 * Amazing
