Coffee Bean Cafe in Dumfries & Galloway

I usually head for Stranraer every 2weeks ish and always head for the coffee bean as well as it being the best breakfast in Stranraer it's very friendly staff and quality of food make it a must. I'm always here for breakfast which is amazing never any complaints there's even the daily special scones well worth trying

Absolutely overpriced crap small breakfast almost £6 1 fried egg 1 rasher bacon. And 1 almost raw sausage cold and undercooked plus 1 slice toast 2of us a tea and coffee nearly £16 avoid at all costs was total crap never again had a better breakfast at burger stall at beach save your money and avoid the crap

Whilst in Stranraer I prefer to dine in same place food is first class and staff are always welcoming breakfast is a delicious delight in here as is the coffee definitely the best in Stranraer it’s located across from the castle and in good weather outdoor seating is available opens at 9 well worth a visit

Fabulous breakfast and delicious coffee. Called in when the boat to Larne was delayed. Lovely staff and enormous breakfast. Best value anywhere. All delicious.

Went in and sat at table which had still glasses on it. These were eventually removed . We sat for another 10-15 mins. Nobody came back to our table although it was not busy. We walked out and went to another cafe where we had excellent service and food.

I ordered the sweet chilli chick wrap, my expectation was that it would be battered chicken in a wrap with chilli sauce however when it arrived it was shop bought frozen chicken strips which hadn’t been cooked very well. My partner got the burger, when that arrived it was cold and the onion rings were under cooked. I didn’t eat my wrap and my boyfriend hardly touched his burger. Not a single staff member came over to see how our food was, we weren’t even asked if everything was okay at the counter when we payed… the whole time we were in the 4 girls working we’re just stood at the counter chatting, didn’t seem to bothered about making sure customers were happy. Paid for a meal which we didn’t even eat. Wouldn’t attend again.

Called in for lunch & were initially surprised at the number of choices on the menu.Weather outside was wet & horrible, so decided to have the soup of the day, homemade Cauliflower & Stilton.It was hot, tasted good, came with a roll & butter and the portion size was good value for money.Thank you.

We just popped in here for cakes and coffee and hot chocolate. Good selection of cakes. Prices were reasonable. Staff were friendly

Popped in and had a tuna & red onion Pennie, with coleslaw& salad, this was very yummy. Our coffee was good to , thank goodness :) Staff very pleasant. Toilets clean.

Ordered 2 pea and ham and 1 cheese and cauli soup. All were delicious and very reasonably priced. They also do a selection of lovely looking cakes. Service was fast and efficient despite covid rules. Definitely recommend.

Whenever we visit our daughter, this restaurant is a must, a couple of times a week. We'd meet up with her friends at a Friday lunchtime. Sadly, very sadly, I have no way of letting these wonderful Scottish ladies know that we wont be seeing them again as our Daughter Pamela died a few weeks ago.We loved this restaurant.A great place to chat and chillax.

We had the misfortune to go there for lunch today, I say lunch but we never got served. Various waitresses going in and out doing their best not to serve anyone sitting outside. Unless they appeared to know them and could chat for quite a while.After sitting waiting for 15 - 20minutes and the waitress again came out and went straight to a table that had just arrived and started chatting to them, we got ignored inspire of trying to get her attention. She then proceeded to ask what they wanted, I got up and went over and asked did she not want our custom or should we just, she didn't even turn round just said leave, I asked do they not serve tables in turn as they arrive to be told just go.So if your not local it appears don't go there your not wanted. Customer service non existant. One star is to much but not allowed negative feedback numbers.

I had a humble pot of tea and being dairy free which is not a choice I made its medical, I requested soy milk to be told no they don't do it. Also a bit alarmed to see on the menu that this establishment is not responsible for any issues arising from food allergies even though it states on the same paragraph that it may be prepared in the same area. Very alarming!!

Lovely friendly wee cafe, full breakfast and coffee were amazing, I highly recommend the giant strawberry tart too 😙👌 Great service, staff couldn’t of been more friendly and helpful!

went here at weekend with my wife for lunch i had all day breakfast two eggs crispy at bottom white not cooked on top. bacon had more fat than meat. wife had tuna baked potato which was nice also had a tea and a coffee not impressed and felt it was overpriced time to find somewhere new.

The food in here is lovely. Strawberry tarts delicious: perfect, crisp, pastry and plenty of fresh cream. Great selection of home-baking! What lets the place down is the unsmiling, unfriendly, waitresses. I, personally, appreciate that being in the hospitality industry can be hard-going, but, come on girls, crack a smile when you approach customers!

They forgot our order even though they used a tablet to take the order and got a lacklustre apology. Also how can a ham & cheese toastie, a latte and a can of diet coke come to £12. Shocking! Certainly will not be back!

I have only recently tried the coffee bean’s small pizza and I am pleased to say it’s up to the cafe’s high standards, will be pleased when we can return

visited here with my wife i had breakfast she had toasted sandwich food is always to a good standard for a cafe if not a bit overpriced but would recommend

Ordered a scrambled egg & toast, which came as scrambled egg on warm bread. very difficult to eat as eggs make it soggy. Eggs were okay at best.

A cafe in the centre of Stranraer serving tasty home-cooked food at very reasonable prices. Service is quick. It can be noisy as the tables are quite close together and some get a draught from the door, but is worth putting up with that. They don’t take cash cards which is not in their favour, hence the lost point.

In onze tocht van Ayr naar Stranrear langs de prachtige kust van Schotland zijn bij toeval hier terecht gekomen. Een leuk café/ restaurant met vooral veel locals. Bediening was vriendelijk, maar bijna niet te verstaan (ligt aan ons, wij zijn te gast). Eten was prima, maar niet bijzonder. Toiletten waren schoon. Conclusie prima.

Nice place, reasonably quick service. Full range of food from cooked breakfasts to cakes. We had coffee and scones. Was good, including clean toilets. Outside seating too.

We chanced on this cafe on a day trip. Staff were pleasant and efficient. The food was excellent and good value for money. It was good to see so many local people eating there.

We always have a all day breakfast here when we are in Stranraer have used this place for a long time good food great menus average price handy location

Been a year since we were here before but we knew what it held in store. Freshly cooked and swift service. Great value for money . Poached or fried eggs . The toast and butter yummy yummy and the tea strange enough was perfectly brewed as sometimes you get tea that is really "peely wally" . The pot holds more than you think too. The all day breakfast is just enough to start the day. Thanks guys. £13.90 for two breakfasts with a choice of white or brown bread and a pot of tea

A lovely cafe found in the centre of Stranraer. Very friendly staff and an extensive menu. We ate there a few times and it was always busy. The food was very good.

We’re so disappointed that we only found this little gem on the last day of our holiday! We had lunch here with our two children and all of us really enjoyed it. The cafe was busy but we were served pretty quickly and the staff were friendly. It’s nice to see that the chicken nuggets (children’s menu) were freshly made - our youngest daughter loved them! I particularly recommend the chocolate eclair, it was absolutely delicious. I’m sure we’ll return to this lovely area and, if so, will definitely return to this cafe. We highly recommend!

Up on holiday and was told that the coffee bean was a nice cafe togo to the staff are very friendly and helpful was made to feel welcome the food is very nice and fresh I would recommend

Was in this place when opened and it was good food prompt service now no owner to be seen bunch od young staff and long time to wait one member of staff not no wing what other is doing food not good ask for soft egg like a rock got my tea waited 20 mins for lunch then on other 15 for toast shame as will not be back

My 6 friends and I stopped here on the way home from a weekend trip to Portpatrick. We had an excellent brunch at very reasonable prices. The food was served quickly and the cakes we took home were to die for. Would definitely return here for more.

Well value for money it certainly was . First time here and I can honestly say that those on a budget , live alone , retired or just those who fancy a great start to their day by having a

It was busy when we arrived, very few tables spare. Kids ordered puzza and they were freshly made the pizza dough was authentic italian and topping good quality - I had egg mayo sandwich served with tortilla chips and salad - very fresh and really tasty. Lovely pot of tea - friendly service and a lovely quick stop lunch.

Had a seat outside to soak up the lovely sunshine from. The cafe is opposite the Castle and just along from the museum, making it a great stopping point. The coffee I had was excellent, and looking at the Pizzas being served, I regretted having such a large breakfast....always nother time!

This cafe was choc-a-bloc when we stopped off for a drink. There were tables outside which was brilliant as we had our dog with us. We stopped for a hot drink; hot chocolate. This wasn’t very nice. It was far to sweet. Hot chocolate should be made to add sugar if needed. Despite this, the cafe was busy so must be doing something right.

Cannot fault anything about our lunch here! Friendly staff, great food, good prices! Would definitely return if in the area!

We have eaten here and stopped for coffee and a scone 3 times this year while in the area on holiday. My 8 year old asks to go to her favorite place each time. Lovely breakfast and the chicken salad is to die for. Lovely coffee and scones and always found the staff lovely. Few young staff I've found pleasant. Only wish we could sit outside without breathing in people's !

Nipped in for lunch yesterday and we were pleasantly surprised.

My wife and I ate here, the young staff were very disinterested in their job, however this was made up for by the more mature lady who was friendlyness itself. The pizza was good.

Visit here often and personally I think they serve the best coffee in the town. Cheese scones come with grated cheese on the side, a nice touch.

Well located on the main street - it has an air about it! There are plenty of cafes in Stranraer but this one is well appointed with friendly staff and the food is excellent - soup and a sandwich for under a fiver is a great price and BOTH were great!

We enjoyed lunch recently in this coffee shop/restaurant in the centre of the town. There is a decent menu and staff were very attentive and efficient. Portions are generous and well-cooked and these are complemented by an excellent selection of scones and home baking. Very satisfactory all round.

In the area for a few days and needed some lunch. The Coffee Bean is in a street with at least 3 other eateries of the same type so we looked in the window of them all and all were pretty much empty apart from this one which was packed, always a good sign.

Stranraer is rather like the Kyle of Lochalsh, it misses the ferry passengers although a lot has been spent to try to regenerate the town. Whatever, I like Stranraer.
