Cow & Bean in Bromley

Perfect for a quick pitstop but could have stayed longer! Thought I'd just pop in for a coffee but the food looked fantastic. Plenty of seating outside and all under cover so it felt cosy even in the rain. Staff very friendly, service quick and the food was fresh and delicious. Despite a smaller space, I didn't feel rushed and so it was a great place to start my book and take time over the coffee. A great place for a solo coffee or meeting family and friends!

Great small cafe with indoor and outdoor seating. Well priced and with good coffee and pastries.

Easily the best (Ibiza-style) cafe in Petts Wood - delicious snacks and very friendly atmosphere and a (very) significant upgrade on what used to be there …

I had the best ciabatta sandwich of my life yesterday! It was salami with pesto and mozzarella- Oh. My. Gosh. It was amazing and they make the ciabatta themselves. I only ate half because it was so filling and just finished the second half for lunch today. Just as good today! I’m so impressed that I had to leave a review. Treat yourself, you won’t be disappointed.

Only dropping a star because I had bad signal and I needed to work. WiFi would make this place a killer. Great food, fantastic coffee, warm and caring staff. What more could you want? (WiFi.)

Get coffee and almond croissants to die for !

Enjoyed a brunch at Cow and Bean this morning. Delicious, freshly made food, great coffee, great service and good value too. Lovely atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Lovely environment with great food and friendly staff. We will be coming back many times.

Best coffee in the area. Great service, reasonable prices. There aren’t many places like this around. Reminds me of how Melbourne do coffee shops. Fabulous.

The staff were absolutely amazing. Really professional and caring. All looked like young students who should be very proud of themselves.

Lovely coffee shop selling great drinks with an amazing outdoor seating area. Seems to be dog friendly as well.

Amazing coffee and food, friendly staff. Can’t recommend highly enough

I come here every week with my Dad (sometimes more with my children and husband too!). The coffee is strong and smooth and the cakes are absolutely delicious- honestly best carrot cake I’ve eaten. Always very friendly service too. We love it here ❤️

The coffee is great and the quality of the food is a top notch 👍 it a 10/10 for me

Nice ambience. Reasonable coffee. Don’t accept low card payments (which in this day and age is a bit ridiculous)

Lovely cafe that is also a restaurant and bar at other times! Friendly staff, good tea and cakes and a nice vibe.

Really tasty coffee, polite staff and good prices, reflected in how busy they were.Good venue, Previous posting above. Went there again,turned out to be the last time. Open doors,said he couldn't do me a coffee,counting his money at 5.05 and told me they're open later at weekend. F### you! Must have changed hands.

Nice place to watch the world go by.

Lovely covered outdoor space. Great service and a warm welcome. Would recommend to

Nice local pub just outside the Petts Wood train station. Most of the sitting is outside, so good to go for quick drinks and bites in summer.

What a revelation in Petts Wood, chilled evening beers, friendly service and nice atmosphere! Great pizza too.

I’m a bit of a coffee connoisseur, very difficult to please so for me to be impressed with a coffee is saying something. Quite a few coffee shop in Petts Wood now, but none match the taste as Cow & Bean. We go their regularly and also enjoy the bants with the friendly staff.

Really nice coffee shop staff very Friendly

Nice coffee and a friendly service.

This was such a cute little find on my walks! They serve THE most delicious fluffy hot chocolate and salivating muffins, the staff are friendly and welcoming, it has an outdoor sitting good for warm days and laboratory access. Although I found it a little pricey, I still enjoyed my little break there. I'd definitely recommend👌

Minimum card charge of £10 in this day and age is ridiculous and against VISA rules. Staff were rude when I highlighted that VISA does not allow them to set a minimum charge.

Great coffee and cake. Worth a visit. Just try to not go at peak yummy mummy time as that can be a bit annoying.

Very friendly service, good cakes and a lovely little spot. We’ll be back.

Great place to have a coffee and meet friends

What a delightful place after a morning walk

Lovely place superb prices the milkshakes are out of this word! visiting relatives they suggested a visit... Hmm ruing is we visited a little more than once! 😂

Nice cosy place for coffee catch ups. Dog friendly

Let some friends had some coffee had a chat lovely day

Great coffee and lots of nice pastries. Friendly service.

Very nice place to come for a nice drink.staff very friendly and it's small so not to busy or noisy.

Good service, friendly and covid safe xx

Really nice friendly place with good covid safety measures in place.

Good coffee, milkshakes, hot chocs etc and cakes/pastries. Friendly staff. Fantastic place to sit outside on summer evenings with a glass of wine.

Lovely little local coffee shop. Consistently good coffee and friendly staff. Fantastic covered, outdoor seating which is perfect for Covid times and even better on a summers evening when they serve gin.

Cute place. Great for drinks but the sandwiches are disappointing. They do an amazing Oreo milkshake

Looks like the food and coffee are quite good and convenient location. But they do not accept card purchases or contactless / Apple Pay purchases below £5 so I was not able to use. Coffee X opposite however does accept low value card payments which is much more convenient.

This is a great place to meet up with friends. It’s very conveniently located in the heart of Petts Wood close to the station. There is lots of outside seating which is useful with the Covid situation.

It was lovely and inviting. Fab coffee!

Lovely little spot great for the station. Good coffee, cakes and service, pleasant outside space.

Lovely place on the square to sit outside. We'd come here more often if they didn't allow smoking. Really puts us off our tea and isn't pleasant to bring our baby.

Nice environment, but if you choose to sit inside, then be prepared for the very loud coffee machine noise. Sometimes so noisy that it makes conversation between each other difficult.

Friendly , good service and delicious food . Very reasonable prices

Lovely cakes and friendly atmosphere!

Great service. Great coffee, great atmosphere.

Love this friendly little place!

Great coffee, friendly staff, decent seating layout to allow for physical distancing.

Welcome back C&B. Excellent coffee and toasties and everything sanitised when folks leave.. so standards are being maintained as always 👍

Hello I respect Cow and bean a lot! You man really do be cheffing up bangers init, you man need a raise fam I think we should collab on a sound init, Cow and bean drill fam, sounds proper swaggy init, big ups though init I think that you man deserve a 5 star ting, big ups jetmir.

A local gem. George has created a fantastic cafe

One of my favourite Coffee shops with great staff

Great coffee shop with amazing cakes.

Just popped in here for coffee after a dog walk. Seating outside and in. Because I had my dog with me, we sat outside. There were heaters and a covered area, which was good. Service was quite quick and the coffee was as expected. Nice atmosphere. I visited on a Sunday afternoon and it was quite busy. Friendly place.

The coffee was really good and more importantly hot.

Pretty good coffee, but really good freshly made panini and very nice staff

Great tasting coffee, good choice of cakes and great service - fast becoming a regular haunt of ours!

Lovely little cafe in Petts wood, tasty coffee and yummy cakes

A lovely cafe a lot of my friends swear by! An outside terrace when the weather is friendly and some indoor seating when it's colder. Always someone nice to welcome you with a nice warm cup of coffee and some cake!

Come here for coffee and catch up with a friend good service not rushed good selection .. loved the teapot and bottle milk

I love Cow and Bean and George, the owner, is fab in that he knows my order and is preparing it before I’ve even opened the door some mornings! Really personal service and a great selection of hot and cold drinks as well as wine and gin in the evenings. Cow and Bean is such a nice location too with outside seating and heaters for the colder months and inside is air conditioned for the warmer days. Cos and Bean is my go to coffee shop at least twice a week on my way to work and also a place I visit at the weekend with my family. Prices are very competitive and George offers a loyalty scheme offering a free drink for every 9 or so purchases.

Great little coffee shop in Station Sq. Cakes are great... (and they do cocktails too)

Flat white ok a bit bitter for me treat sweets were so sweet that I can eat too sweet for me

Good lunch and staff. Good value.

Had a lovely lunch here with a friend. Not a great choice of food but what we had was tasty, well presented and served promptly. I do think they excel at their drinks. I had a milkshake followed by a cappuccino. Delicious! Another plus, for me, is that they allow dogs outside. The reason I took off 1 star was because we were surrounded by smokers. I’ve checked up on the legislation, and sadly, I think this is legal. However, with fewer and fewer people smoking, it might be more profitable to not allow smoking outside ... or would this be breaking the law? Really lovely little cafe but I don’t think I’ll back. I value my lungs!

Friendly. Good coffee. Paninis very dry.. Need butter or more cheese..

Delight place to have coffee . Coffee good cakes good , service outstanding as so friendly

One of the best English restaurants in Orpington . Good quality food , bit expensive though

Great place to grab a coffee or cake on a sunny day.

Popped in with a friend for coffee, cake and catch up. Neither of us had been here before but will most definitely be back. Staff were so friendly, we both had some carrot cake which was delicious, and it was very clean. The only thing I didn’t like was that the tables are so close together. We had a gentleman on the table next to us and he was quite loudly spoken and this did impact on our visit. Unfortunately because it is a small coffee shop this is one drawback but we will definitely be back.

Stumbled across this lovely little coffe shop by accident. Friendly service, great coffee & excellent carrot cake.

Many times I have been shopping locally and noticed this cafe was always lively and full, both inside and out on the very pleasant terrace. I made a mental note to experience it for myself..... this I finally achieved a few days ago and I'm so glad I did. My friend and I sat outside, which was warm and cosy, despite the cold rainy day, due to the outside heaters. The service, drinks and snacks were all excellent, and I now know why it's always busy. I'll definitely make a visit to this lovely place part of my shopping experience in future.

We didn't get coffee, we got G&Ts, welcoming staff, obviously pretty small, but clean, warm and friendly. Did I mention.. G&Ts!! Will be going back to try actual coffee and one of the nice looking cakes at some point

Love to walk through the woods to this spot by Petts Wood station. Good coffee that tastes like coffee should, plus some nice treats and gluten free options. Friendly staff who often ask if we're ok/ need anything/ are warm enough etc when sitting outside with the dog. Lovely little terrace which is always open, has heaters, and a dog bowl for the pooches.

A tiny gem. Great coffee and the cakes are hard to resist.

Best hot chocolate I've ever had. Great selection of cakes......try their lemon or carrot cake, yum yum! Relaxing environment, lovely staff, great friendly atmosphere. Can highly recommend. Don't feel uncomfortable popping in on my own as there's always a friendly welcome.

Perfectly situated in the middle of Petts wood square, with indoor and outdoor heated seating. The staff are incredibly friendly, hardworking and attentive. Special mention to the owner George who makes all of his customers feel very welcome. The coffee is without a doubt better than any of the chain companies. Great for families, friends and even dogs! Thank you!

Quality coffee and perhaps the best strawberry milkshake known to mankind

Nice and cozy place to have a delicious sandwiches

Quality coffee now with added afternoon and evening wine and food

What a lovely place! I have had lovely meetings with family and friends, sat outside drinking tea and coffee, nice food too

Great place, highly recommended.

First time I have tried cow and bean which seems quite popular however I ordered a latte which was basically a flat white and did not taste right (very strong coffee) Nicely refurbished inside but think I will stick to costa opposite from now on.

Nice place, friendly staff, good coffee. Recommended.

Lovely place to have a coffee sitting chilled outside watching the world go by. Good friendly service too!

My husband and I have visited a couple of times and never been disappointed with the coffee and cakes. Nice and modern, and happy friendly staff. I was disappointed to see that the coffee bean dregs were thrown in with the normal rubbish though. - They can be recycled and make an amazing rose fertilizer!

The best coffee in Petts Wood, great service and I love the atmosphere.

I love all the people iv met there, George n staff and other customers, it has a lovely atmosphere.

Great Coffee, great environment, grest service

The best place for coffee in Petts Wood. Can sit inside or outside even if it's raining. Very friendly staff who will be polite and chatty. 👍

Great coffee great service , deserves his success 👍 small but with lovely outside area which fills up when the sun shines

I’ve popped into this small coffee shop on several occasions and really only because it was an independent; not a fan of the brand offerings locally. The proprietor, George is a welcoming sort of fellow, talks to his clients and quietly gets on with making a quality coffee. During the Spring & Summer months the outside area is a sun trap and gets quite busy. Love the Orange Polenta cake, moist with a subtle hint of orange; along with the coffee and walnut a real hit. Both my teenage children like it here too, a regular stop off on the way home, the milkshakes are good value.

Very nice coffee and great staff .better than Costa 👍😊

Since cow and bean opened it's been a family favourite. A small but cosy and intimate cafe that does good coffee, a good collection of cakes and offers milkshakes for the kids. Has outdoor seating which is popular in the warmer weather. Very kid friendly.

Absolute gem! What a transformation, brilliant service and my son just loves the vanilla milkshakes! Well done!

Coffee and drinks are decent. Food quality and service could be improved. About 5 two-person tables inside and often gets full at busy times. Full brunch isn't served, but a small selection of pasties, cakes and savouries is on the menu.

Great coffee, great staff, great atmosphere
