Bright Bean Coffee Shop in Torbay

Friendly caring staff..excellent service

Great food lovely helpful staff

Why this new fashion for not clearly showing the price of cakes? Of course one doesn’t like to create an embarrassing atmosphere by asking “How much is this?” “And how much is that?” Etc So one is buying something without knowing the price in advance. Consequently I paid nearly £10 for two slices of cheese cake!! No more Bright Bean for me

Top notch service, nice atmosphere and felt relaxed ! Really good coffee, decent breakfast ! We will be back thank you 😁 ☕️

Well, we found an absolute gem here at Bright Bean! We was warmly welcomed by Greta who was very friendly, chatty and smiley! She promptly took our order. Our food arrived in good time by Tom and Greta who had a laugh and joke with us! It was well presented and tasted AMAZING. The prices weren't expensive but the quality was outstanding! We will be back, thank you for looking after our pooches Frankie and Daisy too! Cannot reccomend enough, if you're looking for a lovely place, with great service and amazing food. Come to Bright Bean! Thanks again, Tom and Greta! Xxx

A lovely little café. I had their standard full English with a latte. Inside was smart and immaculately clean and tidy. The service was prompt and friendly and the breakfast was very well prepared indeed. The Bright Bean will be my new go to café when in and around Preston. I would highly recommended it.

Found this little gem by pure luck and has now become our regular! Food is amazing, cooked to perfection and super tasty! The service received is the best! Nothing is to much hassle and always a smile on their faces!! Best poached eggs I have had in AGESSSS!!! Do NOT miss out - you won’t regret this!!

Well this is very good breakfast Tom the chef is amazing fast service but busy as is great food well done thanks very nice

Great coffee, friendly helpful staff. Breakfast is recommended. Had some time to work whilst waiting. Still great. I've been back . Reasonable pricing

Just had a lovely brekkie, great value great service lovely peeps that run it! Very clean and nice, was impressed, so busy, but still all stress free! defo be back again thanks 😊

Cool decor, clean and modern. Kid friendly too 😊 Omelette was delicious! Thanks for a lovely breakfast!

A lovely little cafe, with the brightest staff, the most delicious menu and a sunny, spot to sit, just back from Preston sea front! Very reasonable prices and good sized portions - highly recommended

Lovely breakfast with good quality ingredients. Good menu with gluten free potions. Friendly and attentive staff. Most definitely worth a visit. 😊

Was really good value for the money 😀

Very friendly and excellent food.

Came for breakfast with family, which was decent quality and reasonably priced. Coffee was excellent.

Awesome breakfast this morning, just what we needed after our swim ❤️🏊‍♀️🧜‍♀️

Service outstanding, food absolutely gorgeous. Atmosphere really friendly, aways bright and cheerful. The goto place in the area, a must if your a local resident or visiting on holiday.

Service was great and so was the food

I go here regularly and the food is cooked perfectly and staff make you so welcome and very polite

Had a large breakfast with black pudding, all really nice food. The latte was really good as well. The service was excellent and the server was very attentive and polite. Will definitely recommend to friends and will go back when I get chance

Great service, always welcoming, food is always amazing and great value! The milkshakes are also amazing!!! Even in the cold weather 🤣👌👌👌 Highly recommend this cafe, great place!

Excellent food and very sociable and friendly staff. Wish it was open a little later so I could visit more often

Looking for somewhere for a bacon butty and tea .. Stumbled upon this place. Nice and clean, fresh looking . Decided on the full English. I was not disappointed. Not greasy, well cooked, bacon thick and good quality, eggs were spot on, runny but cooked properly. Even the loo was nice , plenty of room for a wheelchair with an assist rail, plus a baby change shelf thingy . Staff were friendly. 👍

Visited for the fist time today , very pleasant experience , will definitely be back.

Food excellent, prices very reasonable, and good coffee. Would recommend as a good place to eat.

Great little cafe, good food and good prices. Very friendly staff. Would definitely recommend.

Excellent all round 👏 definitely visit again

Treated myself to a "small" English breakfast (described as small but more than adequate), and a pot of tea. Sat outside as it was such a lovely morning. The quality of the food was good and the service was excellent. Would definitely go back.

Always pop into this cafe when my car is in for its MOT. Never fails to disappoint, best breakfast in Paignton!!

Visited a few years ago when first opened and wasn’t impressed. So today after looking at the menu, I decided to revisit, as menu looked good and reasonably priced. Thought I would give it another go. We ordered the full English breakfast. This was all Luke warm at best. Low quality ingredients. Wasn’t great. Cheap sausages, greasy black pudding. Toast was cold, with some kind of watery spread. The coffee was ok. Won’t be returning. Friendly enough, but maybe the owners should brief the staff, regarding menu and drinks etc.

Lovely cafe with great food and service, nothing to much trouble, very good prices

One of the best breakfast OR lunch place in torbay. Loved the cheese they put in their toastie... 😋😋😋

Nice food, friendly staff, quick service

Came today for some breakfast and although the food was ok the service was awful. It took them 50 minutes to cook the food and this was with only 3 customers waiting. Completely unacceptable to wait this long when the cafe was almost empty.

Incredible breakfast & by far the best coffee in Paignton

Very clean, friendly staff, we had the apple crumble and custard which arrived quickly and was tasty

Good food at the right price. Friendly staff

Lovely place really enjoyed coming while we were stuck out

Visited this cafe yesterday 18/3/23 This was our first visit and most definitely will not be our last.. the cooked breakfast was amazing, the best I've had. My 2 young boys loved it here and kept saying can we come back again. Credit to the girl who was serving us at the table, she was lovely and so well mannered and hard working, she is a credit to this little gem of a cafe.. See you again soon.

Great place friendly atmosphere fully recommended

Superb place with great food and friendly staff

Always a very bright and clean Cafe/ Coffee and very good staff.

Great cafe. Good food at a reasonable price, with friendly staff. Outside seating, dogs welcome, on street parking, plus nearby Car Park, near range of shops including Tesco, near Park, on main bus route and accessible Sea Front/Green. What's not to like!

Lovely food and customer service. Great place

Had a breakfast. Not to bad was a bit cold.

Very friendly family run place, food was delicious.

Nice coffee, good scones and nice staff, would recommend

Amazing food. Great service. Very friendly. Highly recommend

Had a small full English after a night shift. Staff kindly let us in just before opening. Seats were comfortable. Has a clean and family friendly environment. Will definitely be coming back 👍

Good cafe with a nice outside area and friendly staff. Marked down though due to the food taking a really long time to come out bearing in mind it was quiet and we only had pininis and the chips were over done which were a bit too crunchy for me. Probably would try there again but wouldn't be in a hurry to.

Found this little gem Cafe but with Michelin standards in every way the cleanest cafe I have ever used I am a commercial courier We has fish and chips made fresh what a delicious delight The fish so fresh but the batter so so light so doesn’t leave you with a mouth of grease from the batter wow I will away stop here when I am back Thanks Tom just a great place to eat J

Very kind workers and a lovely surrounding. The food was exilent it it was overall a great experience

Staff were really friendly and the food was amazing. The place was very clean too. Definitely recommend!

Everything is lovely! The family that run the business and all its staff are wonderful. I've been here many times and the cafe - inside and out - is always clean, the food is fabulous and the people - staff and guests - are always friendly.

Great breakfast bap. Very much recommended.

Fantastic full english breakfast might go back this morning 😊🌞

Great service friendly team and excellent food and coffee

My husband and I have just enjoyed a very nice breakfast here. Service is excellent and very friendly. We’ll definitely come again.

Beautiful decor and very friendly staff

Great value. I had an excellent cooked breakfast and very nice coffee. Friendly staff. Highly recommended.

Come here most mornings Good coffee and friendly staff

I had the small full breakfast; delicious and very filling!

Nice place and friendly. Good breakfast for 2 with 2 hot drinks for under £ 15 ......top notch ..

Great place, very friendly staff and good food at fair prices. Careful of the wobbly table though.

Lovely coffee shop. Sat in sun filled front window which was pleasantly warm on a winter's day. Friendly staff. Good coffee.

Visited today,,good food,friendly and busy place. We go again and recommend it to friends and family

Brilliant love it. Fantastic owners, food and drinks. Fully recommended

I'm really fussy about coffee. This place makes great coffee! ...good bacon baps too. Top drawer.

Lovely coffee and bacon bap! Very welcoming

Absolutely brilliant cafe clean, safe and friendly place with brilliant food and service. It'll be even safer and nicer without the likes of Steve Novak! This guys an angry bully, no one's got a good word to say about him even his one family who have largely disowned him.

Always brilliant service & the coffee/food is great. Can't wait to visit again.

Fantastic coffee and friendly atmosphere. The breakfasts are also lovely, generously sized and freshly cooked!

We love our visits to The Bright Bean Cafe, always a friendly welcome. Great tasty food and fabulous coffees. Tom is a great host and nothing is too much trouble. Great place to meet friends.

Best food I have had for a VERY long time!!!! Also I just do work in that place every Thursday and it is really good! A pleasure to do business with and for!!!!

Outstanding! Popped in for breakfast, ended up having a cheese and ham omelette, and my beloved had a cheese and mushroom one. They were just sublime 😊. Excellent friendly service, delicious food. Highly recommended. 👍😊

Excellent coffee, super service. Limited choice of cakes.

What a find. Only by chance we popped in for lunch. Wonderful greeting. Good choice on menu. Reasonable prices. Very tasty. Certainly we will be returning.

Great breakfast, I can't wait to go back.

First time! I'm coffee addict! Went for a large latte to go! I was given medium cup ,when asked why ,as I was paying for a large coffee ,the answer was: But in a big cup you must put lots of milk and coffee is weak, it's much stronger that way and taste better! Huh??? Its the way I like it!? Its what I'm paying for? And why you telling me how to do and what coffee is best for me!? And even the medium cup wasn't full, had to top up with milk at home cos, its way too strong and not enough of it!! ONLY coffee lovers will understand this morning frustration when someone tells you what coffee is best for you and then your cuppa it's just horrible!?

Top service here, especially if you love banter.. Always happy to help 👍

breakfast I had was delicious freshly done

Lovely place and very welcoming staff. We didnt realise the time it shut and as we got there it was closing but they said they will still serve us. Happy customers and definitely recommend Bright Bean

Good value tasty breakfast served quickly :)

Fantastic coffee and most excellent breakfast. Friendly and helpful staff, a most enjoyable experience

Having already had breakfast we had a wait for our car tyres to be replaced. Further up the road from the tyre centre was Bright Bean. On a hot day we decided to call in for a cool drink. We ordered 2 orange juices, later made up to 4. When I went to pay the bill the guy behind the counter said " oh wow last of the big spenders". Normally I would of taken it as a jokey comment but as I walked away he muttered under his breath " good riddance ". The fact my wife was present saved him from an expletive riddled retort. First & last time we visit that establishment.

Friendly efficient service on a very hot and busy day x #Respect.

Tasty fresh home cooked food, and hot delicious coffee. Yummy

I popped in as I had an hour to spare as my daughter was having a settling in hour at a local preschool. I just want to say how lovely the bacon bap I had was. Bacon was nice and crispy just how I like it. The bun was toasted to perfection to. Definitely coming back.

Met my friend here. The staff were very friendly, the tea was much more expensive than other places. Dogs allowed.

First time there from recently moving locally. The guy who served me was friendly and easy to talk to, has a genuine interest in the experience of his customers. The lady too was lovely, up for a chat when not busy. Ingredients are of high standard the coffee (AND they use thick-cut bacon, not that watering crap) I will be back for a full-on breaky soon. SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL BUSINESS!

Stopped here last week for a flat white (really good) ,my wife had a delicious latte. We also ordered a breakfast sandwich which was very tasty and generously filled. The service was quick and the owner and staff were both friendly and efficient. Definitely worth a visit

I've recently found this gem in Preston and its so welcoming and Tom the boss is so friendly, great customer service with a smile. The food is fresh and delicious, especially the gourmet burger, chips and salad and friends tell me the breakfast is well satisfying. Today I had a chocolate milkshake and I'll have one again because it was lush. Will be definitely going back and hope to call it my local cafe.

Honestly would say the best place in the bay for breakfast for both value and quality. Lovely outside area to sit and people watch in the sun. Fantastic value breakfast £4.95 egg, sausage, hash brown, bacon , mushrooms , beans and toast.. all served quickly and really hot. Would definitely recommend and will definitely be a regular

Great place for breakfast and a drink. Great food, great coffee, great service.

Very friendly Amazing cakes Nice and cosy

Tom and his team give marvellous service and food

First time in there. Ordered 2 bacon and egg baps. Took no more that 5 minutes and the bacon was really good quality, the eggs were perfect and runny. Got the sauce right too so will be back.

Excellent coffee and toast spotlessly clean
