Coffee Bean Restaurant The in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Lovely home made soup . Gorgeous !!!! Never disappoints. Arrives nice and hot, good portions and quickly . Nice staff , clean environment. What more could you want . Oh and great value !!!

This fare was decidedly average at best, and actually a bit disappointing. A decent full English should have quite a few elements, and yet this one only had a couple of rashers, a fried egg, a couple of small hash browns, a small ramekin of beans, two extremely cheap looking/ tasting sausages, and half a grilled tomato. The one piece of toast and butter and a mug of tea was extra. The whole lot cost over ten pounds. I have had much better elsewhere for a similar price quite recently and this was so disappointing that I felt I should leave these comments. The service was fine, and attentive and I have been here before, albeit about a year ago and found the breakfast to be a lot better to be fair. For me it was the number of elements on the plate, and the quality of the sausages which let this one down, and it really did not feel like value for money.

Lovely place - great atmosphere and friendly staff. The paninis especially are lovely. It’s a nice place for breakfast too. The menu is really good value with something for everyone, I always take friends and family here when they visit.

Excellent! Best panini I’ve had for ages and staff absolutely adorable. Defo dog friendly, they loved our two shepherds!

One of the best breakfast I have ever had we will definitely be back soon. Excellent service, friendly staff, very quick. Food is hot, coffee is hot. Overall excellent experience

We were in Helston to visit the nearby museum and just wanted somewhere for lunch and we found this place and glad we did. The service was very friendly and food came out quickly, especially our young kids sandwiches, which came first. Its always hugely appreciated when places bring the kids food out first and as quickly as possible. We all had sandwiches and the bread was lovely and soft. I had bacon and sausage and very much enjoyed it. My wife and I also went for the cream tea and that was excellent. You could tell the scones are freshly made, they were so soft and moist. Would highly recommend anyone to visit, we will certainly return if we are ever in Helston again.

Quick and polite service from front of house. Lovely little cafe with phone orders constantly coming through along with a good footfall. Our food was cooked to order and was hot when served. Downside bacon looked raw mushrooms could have been cooked longer they had a slight crunch. Menu looks great but you have to ask what’s included with breakfast as it’s not on the menu. It seemed everyone coming in asked the same “what’s on the breakfast”

First time visit to the coffee bean restaurant had the Big Breakfast. Wow best Breakfast going at a reasonable price will definitely be going back 10/10

Great spot for breakfast/brunch. Fast service, friendly staff. Food was decent. Cant complain, I’d recommend if you’re looking for a tasty fry up in Helston.

Fantastic food I had the big breakfast my friend had the veggie option 🙄. Everything was freshly cooked and delivered in a timely manner. Next time we are in the area we know exactly where too go.

We have been to The Coffee Bean 3 times now and enjoyed every lunch. Generous portions which are fresh and tasty. I am vegetarian and dairy free and those choices are catered for. We eat here before taking our dog for a run and dogs are very welcome in the café. Nice friendly staff, pleasant surroundings and CLEAN toilets too. Nothing to dislike.

Friendly staff as always. Seated quickly and order taken. We just go there before it got busier but all was running very smoothly. Breakfast was delicious...all so fresh and tasty. Said it last time that the menu has loads on it so will definitely have lunch next time...we just love our breakfast!

Me and my family have eaten here on many occasions when we've visited Helston. The food is always good quality and on time, with lots of local Helston people weating here.

Saturday late morning visit. Decided on breakfast and ordered a small and a BIG one. Drinks came quickly and food didn't take long at all. Was all freshly cooked and piping hot. Picture shows the BIG brekfast which my partner struggled to finish 😂 Everything was so tasty and such good value for money. The menu is quite extensive and we will definitely be back soon to try something else. Staff very friendly and spotlessly clean place. Only open until 2pm so make sure you don't leave it too late.

Although this is not the same Coffee Bean found in the Far East and the US, it does try. Service was quick but the espressos whilst tasting OK, lacked depth of flavour.

We went to The Coffee Bean with some friends for breakfast and we, as a family, are doing our best to support small local and independent businesses. We are so glad we did. From the second you enter, you are greeted warmly and all Covid related info is clear with signage, etc. The dining area is laid out to fully enable physical distancing and staff wear PPE (visors). We ordered a variety of breakfasts - regular and large - and these were tasty, plentiful and excellent value. This is a fantastic cafe, and we will definitely eat here again.

Myself and a friend popped in today as we both fancied a breakfast. I had the large, and my friend had the regular. The portion size is huge! My eyes were definitely bigger than my belly (tho that didn'tstop me from eating it all!) But will say what great value they were. Really tasty too. Staff were really friendly, and we will definitely be back, and treat ourselves! Do not be tempted to go to Wetherspoons over the road. Help support local business such as this wonderful place.

The Coffee Bean had embraced lockdown/social distancing rules and did it well. The menu is basic but the big draws are their all day breakfast and daily roast dinners, both are good value. The staff were attentive and friendly.

Having checked out Trip Advisor, we thought we would give this place a go. It was my 50th birthday, so we decided to go out for breakfast. We're so glad we did choose this place. We got there just after 9.30am, so just after it opened. The breakfast was massive, it very nearly cancelled our plans for eating in the evening. Two of us had the big breakfast and a coffee each for £20. I understand people need to keep their prices cheap to pull people in through the door, but I really don't know how they do what they did for this price, especially as 20% of that total is VAT. The staff were all very pleasant and polite. We're not local as such, but own a caravan a few miles away so will be using this establishment again. I really hope they keep busy, they deserve it!

Had a full English breakfast here(which is served all day). Lovely food with good/fast service. Will definitely be back.

Stopped here for breakfast on Thursday and the food was fantastic. Freshly cooked and clearly good quality. Received a very friendly welcome and amazing service. Went back on Friday en route to Newquay airport, again for breakfast - and of course a “low fat” fruit scone which was great!Will be back next time we’re down in Cornwall. Highly recommend to everyone!Thank you for the warm welcome

popped in on Saturday 4th May 2019, me and the wife had the mushroom soup and a roll and a cuppa, whilst my son had a bacon sandwich. The staff were very friendly and polite. The cafe has customer toilets.

I found this little gem whilst looking for a coffee. From the outside it is unassuming and even a bit old fashioned. I have worked in the food industry for a number of years. This little cafe done its own thing, and by how full it was it showed it’s working. No paella or curry. Nojust good old fashioned British fare all day cooked breakfast. But we had home made shepherds pie it was not the prettiest meal but the taste was sublime. It came with seasonal vegetables cooked perfectly cooked, I had scampi and chips again cooked perfectly they were plump and lightly coated the chips crisp and fluffy my peas cooked on point. The cups of tea were made to our fussy standards strong builders type tea. You can find any number of places cooking food from round the world. But it’s hard to find a place that cooks homemade food and cooks it well. The staff service was amazing all the staff were happy and smiling and even allowed our old dog in and made him welcome. This is a little gem that should not be overlooked we have lost our identity and our peasant dishes. It’s places like this that keep proper slow cooked food alive every town should have one. I left out that the whole meal for two including cups of tea were less than £20.00 a bargain that left us full for the rest of the day.

Typical town cafe serving a large selection of hot and cold food and deserts. Portions are good and served pipng hot. Staff friendly and very helpful. A good cafe in the center of town.

Stop and have a good traditional breakfast here! Well cooked, plenty of it and great service! Don't be put off by the image, it's not modern and fashionable, nor are the prices!

Visited here twice on our hols for breakfast. Reminded me of a cafe at home where locals frequent for smiles, chats and good old fashioned home cooked food. Friendly staff, always smiling and dog friendly too!!

When ever you enter here there i s always a welcome from the staff. Nothing is too much trouble. Hot food ALWAYS hot and cold food never warm. Food always good and nicely presented. Even a coffee only at lunch time and you are treated like royalty

We visited this lovely cafe twice on our stay in Helston, 17/8 and 18/8, and both times were great in terms of service, food and price. We would highly recommend this if you’re staying locally or passing through Helston - costs for 2 adults, 1 teen and 1 child of 8 were £22/24 for breakfasts and drinks so good value and a chance to support locally run businesses. Also do lunches but didn’t see them as we were there before 12 midday. Thank you Coffee Bean team!

A group of about 14 of us went for lunch. We were impressed by the variety of food provided from jacket potatoes, sandwiches, burgers, cakes etc. We chose a variety of meals and all really enjoyed our meals, which came quickly. The service was efficient and friendly. The only down point was that a member of staff started to clear our table while 2 of us were still eating. The atmosphere was cosy and there were several items to view for sale.

We were on holiday walking around and found this wonderful place so we popped in originally for a drink and ended up having a bite to eat the service was wonderful the lady who took our order was very friendly the food was very good even first class I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for good food and friendly service looking forward to returning here again in the future

We popped in for lunch and had some lovely food. We all had a ice cream milk shake and was disappointed as they literally put a scoop of ice cream in a milkshake. How it was detailed on the menu is a milkshake made from milk and ice cream but the ice cream was randomly floating. It was nice but not what we expected. The food was nice and hot and didn't take long to come out. The portion size was perfect and prices are reasonable. Would recommend this cafe for a lunch.

Popped in for lunch while on holiday. The food was of excellent quality and reasonably priced too. Staff were friendly and attentive. Wish it was in my home town!

Popped in for breakfast as a table for 4 plus a toddler in a high chair. Awesome breakfast and excellent service. They even supplied kids cutlery and a kids bowl for my son.

Siempre comer aquí cuando nos visite Helston. No bueno, básico, comida bien preparada. Hay un asado del día, tortillas, paninis y otras comidas. Me encantan las tortillas aquí y son de un tamaño decente con la comida las patatas fritas y la ensalada. A mi hija le encanta los asados y el personal siempre amable. No es demasiado caro. No puedo recomendar lo suficiente para una comida básica pero decente. Fuimos dos veces la semana pasada cuando cerca de nuevo.

Qué lugar acogedor! Me senté matando a tiempo antes de una cita, y quedé muy impresionado con el personal hospitalario sus habitantes ancianos por su nombre y eran no menos encantador para mí.

Mi amigo y yo llamamos aquí a la hora de comer y decidimos tener la versión pequeña de el asado del día, que era de cerdo. Nuestro pedido de comida y bebidas fue tomada rápidamente por una camarera simpática. Las bebidas eran sirve inmediatamente y la comida era llegaron poco después. Estaba muy bien preparado y presentado, agradablemente acompañados por un plato generoso de salsa de manzana. Aunque este fue clasificado como una pequeña comida, nos pareció que era amplio para nuestros gustos, y a un precio razonable. Había una buena selección de campos de dulces, pero, después de un satisfactorio primer plato, sólo teníamos habitación para helados.

He estado viniendo al café en grano durante 35 años ya que está ubicado cerca de las paradas de autobús en Helston y siempre es cálido y acogedor. Puedes conseguir té y café y desayuno y las tradicionales cenas asado siempre muy atractiva. Es muy popular con los habitantes locales y el personal es muy amable y acogedor. El único misterio es por qué el restaurante cierra a las 14. 30. Seguramente hay un mercado para el té de la tarde y café.

We saw this restaurant as we strolled through the town centre. It looked inviting so we decided to have lunch. All the meals were "home made" and the tea was also fantastic! Prices were very reasonable.

El café parece básico pero el personal es genial. Son amables y sirven el mejor bollos que he probado por un largo tiempo.

When you go in its a bit of a basic place,plenty of tables and chairs.It was very quiet when i went in,the waitress took my order for a hot chocolate.Lovely it was to say the least and i had another one afterwards.Would definetely return and next time eat something as well

Good for a cooked breakfastRoasts look good never had oneStaff very friendlySome of the regular customers can get a little territorial over tables !Old fashioned but it's a budget cafeNot changed in years

We were in Helston looking for somewhere for lunch and came across this café. There were 8 of us with 2 toddlers but we were shown to a large table quickly. The waitresses were friendly and efficient. We ordered a variety of things which were all well cooked, delicious and reasonably priced. My leek and potato soup was filling and warming; the omelettes were big and delicious; the jacket potatoes were both well filled with cheese and bacon. The children's meals of sausage and chips were enjoyed. We always like to visit independent coffee shops and this one deserves to do well.

Came to Helston for the day and it rained. After a couple of hours in the excellent museum we decided to go for a cup of tea. We try to use local businesses rather than chains and came across The Coffee Bean quite by chance. What started off as a simple drink turned into four roast dinners... lovely little shop. Spotlessly clean and friendly, helpful staff. I decided to go for the large roast which almost defeated me! Fantastic food and plenty of it. Prices very reasonable and worthy of a return visit. Interesting to note the steady stream of locals in the shop which speaks volumes! Thoroughly recommended.

Had a excellent lunch, surroundings lovely, very clean, staff very nice, dog was welcome. The food I had was a bacon Omlette stuffed with bacon nice and hot and tasty with side salad plenty of tomatoes and cucumber. My partner had jacket potatoe with cheese beans, he said it was the best jacket he had tasted in a long while, I tried it and I agreed with him. Do visit you will not be disappointed, and not expensive sensible prices.

Popped in a few days ago with the family while visiting Helston on holiday. Been here once before so knew we'd get a great value breakfast to set us up for the day. Friendly, helpful staff and good, hot food served very quickly.

Amazing food great staff used by the locals so must be good and never disappointing and the BEST ROAST EVER.

A great value little local cafe. Their Christmas Lunch is delicious. Portions are generous. Crackers included. Really embodies Christmas spirit.

The Coffee Bean is a very long established eating house in the centre of the main street of Helston Town. It offers a wide range of food from full lunches to coffee, tea and snacks or cakes. it is very conveniently positioned right next to the Post Office

Popped in for lunch, and glad we did. Huge portions, and very tasty, and the option of a mug of tea instead if fiddly cups! Friendly staff, and very reasonable prices. Thoroughly recommended

An unassuming little restaurant from the street, but the food and service was great, and the staff friendly and welcoming. They have a roast of the day, as well as a great and varied basic menu. Anything from something on toast, ham eggs and chips to just a cup of tea or coffee anytime of the day.

A good honest cafe, serving good quality food in good portions at a very reasonable cost. We had a delicious cheese omelette with chips and small salad dressing, tuna sandwich with a bowl of chips, a mug of peppermint tea and coffee for about £15. Small and friendly, and tolerant of a two year old's occasional shouts

My wife and I had the roast pork dinner. Plenty of well cooked, tasty food, well presented and served by friendly helpful staff.If you want good British food at great value then head to the Coffee Bean.

We often eat here when in the area and always find the staff friendly and amenable. We didn't eat this time to be fair but our milkshakes were lovely. There was food being served around us and it smelt and looked fine.

Great little restaurant. I have been here many times, you can have anything from a cup of tea to a full blown roast dinner with all the trimmings. The service is good and staff are friendly. Very good value for money.

When travelling to Helston we often use this little restaurant. The staff are friendly and the food is freshly and promptly cooked to order. We had 7 of us with different tastes from omelettes to chicken nuggets to a roast of the day. It might be processed meat but the roast were enjoyed by all. It's not fancy cooking but it's all reasonably priced and we were made to feel very welcome. I loved my omelette and milkshake and we will visit again soon.

As owner of The Coffee Bean Restaurant for the past three years I am delighted with the 4.5/5 stars that our customers currently have rated us on our Facebook page. We are open 6 days a week and sell roasts every day. We have a substantial menu ranging from toast to roast. Hope to ser you soon.
