The Coffee Bean in Fylde

There are lots of cafes in lytham. We had a walk and as it was a nice day it was a case of where had somewhere to sit. This was very good and a reasonable price

Visited with friends. Ordered tea cake without butter, but came with butter. Ordered the quiche. The egg was underdone and slightly sloppy in the centre. The canisters and jar behind the counter are a mix of coffee and tea, this is not clear so when I ordered what I thought was a flavoured tea was very disappointing to find it was a flavoured coffee. The home made scones were a great purchase. Just such a shame about the other things.

Spot is great for some tea! (not sure if this is the right spot i visited in march as there is several under the name) but was treated like a saint by the staff there! Had a lovely girl serve me, she was so sweet and funny! Wouldn’t recommend anywhere else for some afternoon tea with the family.

A friendly place. I called in today on a visit to Lytham. Very nice homemade blueberry and lemon scone with coffee. Served with vintage style crockery.

Great food and excellent service , allowed my dog inside whilst it was raining and the staff were lovely and friendly . Coffee was perfect too

All 3 had a loaded bacon butty Gluten Free, very very tasty, friends recommended this cafe, so happy to eat different than a salad

Friendly and welcoming. The food was beautifully fresh and very tasty. Would definitely recommend and will come again next time we are in Lytham. 🤩

We called in the Coffee Bean today, a wet and windy day in Lytham, we ordered the cream tea, I had Latte and my mum had a pot of tea. It was absolutely beautiful and nicely presented, very quiet due to covid restrictions but the waitress was very pleasant. Unfortunately the coffee shop now has to close due to Gov lockdown but we shall definitely return when it re opens.

Visited this cafe and had tea and scone. Tea nice but not the biggest pot for two people. The scone was average and to be charged 45pence for an extra sachet of jam just did not seem right.Will not be going back when there seems much better places to eat in Lytham.

Large variety of teas & coffees to choose from, and plenty of tasty cakes! The cinnamon teacake was particularly yummy! Prompt and very friendly service at the outside seating area, and tables quickly cleared away and cleaned after being vacated!Clean toilets (although these are upstairs)Also participating in the current HM Govt Eat Out to Help Out scheme!

Came here for lunch. Great selection of coffee. Had steak sandwich but unfortunately was so dry and covered in fat, would have been much better if came with gravy or a sauce - was difficult to eat but Unfortuantely no waitress returned to ask how the food was. I'm sure lots of other food is lovely but that the steak sandwich could be improved on.

In the last week I have visited The Coffee Bean twice once with a friend and then with my daughter.Service good and friendly food and drinks very good.We have teas and coffees and snack lunches.All well presented and tasty and reasonably priced.Would re visit.

Went here twice for lunch over the 1940s wartime weekend. Love how the staff dress up for the weekend theme and decorate the shop too. Really friendly staff, great service even when at busiest peak period. Had a lovely jacket potato with tuna and cheese melt the first time and a jacket with tuna and grated cheese the second time. Served with a lovely salad. Coffees are lovely too and the cakes are amazing.

We had lunch here today and the food was delicious. Soup,sandwich and a toastie followed by coffee and home made cake and scone. Food is served on lovely retro dishes and the place just has a nice "old fashioned" tea room style which you dont see often nowadays. Friendly and attentive service. Please note the toilet is upstairs which may be a problem for some. Loads of choices if you are a tea/coffee connisseur. Outside seating too.

Stopped in Lytham on way to Southport. lovely coffee and sandwiches. Lots of coffee selections, Parisian and Brazil Santos blends chosen, not disappointed. We will definately visit again.

Beautiful scrambled egg, bacon & tomato on toast, washed down by excellent tea & coffee & a perfect window seat in the sun to watch Lytham Club Day parades with our dog. Simply perfect, thanks girls 👍 x

Was not sure what I wanted, but needed to eat. Spotted 'Ploughmans' on the blackboard, very glad I did. It was beautifully presented, there was no skimping on anything. Lovely warm crusty bread with spreadable butter (bonus) too. I thoroughly enjoyed it and ate every bit. Excellent value for money and so fresh. The service was impeccable. I will be back. Thank you

Straight away the staff couldn't have been more friendly and helpful (helping an elderly lady out of her chair for one) . I ordered the fisherman's salad, food came served by the owner. I'm really fussy and cheeky, so I asked if there was any chance I could compensate some bread for salad. Again, they couldn't be more accomidating. Food was fresh, presentation and taste faultless! Really enjoyed my experience here, last day off well spent! Highly recommended :) will see you again soon. Thanks so much.

Superb coffee. Lovely warm beef and caramelised onions sandwich for me, my wife had ham/cheese and pickle sandwich, they were lovely. Excellent service, though a little wait for food, as it was busy and food freshly prepared. Good place to go, if visiting Lytham.

I highly recommend the soup, I had Highland Broth and it was just like my mum used to make! packed with veg and piping hot.

We arrived at 12.45 for lunch on a cold day. We both had the carrot and coriander soup. The cafe was not busy when we arrived but was when we left. 40 minutes after ordering our soup arrived with no apologies for the time it took. My soup was absolutely nuclear my wife’s was cold. We mixed it together because we couldn’t be bothered to wait any longer as we were then running late. Nobody asked whether our food was ok they probably New it wasn’t! We will never go back.

Homemade cakes - one of the nicest carrot cake I ever tasted. Huge variety of coffee for cafeteires - just loved it :)

The Coffee Bean has been a really good café for many years with very friendly staff, nice food and the best range of specialist teas and coffees on the Fylde. They even sell loose tea and coffee to take home.

There were some plusses but a bit disappointed overall.

Great range of coffees to suit everyone with super friendly service. Good value for money too as coffee was served in cafetiere so there is plenty if you fancy a second cup! The cake was moorish and having now tried most of the cafes in Lytham on our many visits there this year we have decided to make this our "go-to" place for light refreshments in the future. Well done to the team at the Coffee Bean!

This is a traditional tea/coffee shop on the Main Street at Lytham, large range of coffees and teas and a nice selection of sandwiches. If it's trendy you want, then this is not for you, but we had a soup and sandwich deal for lunch, which was good and plentiful. Nice friendly staff.

We called in first thing on a Thursday morning in late August. It was quiet . We each ordered a cafetiere at £2.95 each but one of us had cream and one hot milk and I think we were charged another 30p on top of that. We did get two full china cups each out of our cafetieres so we still thought it was good value for two excellent coffees. One coffee was Colombian the other was from Peru. Both delicious.

I was so surprised with the food served on Sunday at this café. The staff were very friendly and the service prompt although not busy. I am particularly fussy as I'm a Slimming World client. Sometimes it's difficult to find something SW friendly, or

My father and I discovered this place on a roaming trip from Blackpool in 2017. I treated my father to a cafetiere of mine (and James Bond's) favourite coffee - Jamaican Blue Mountain. It was delicious and Dad, who has only recently become a coffee drinker enjoyed it also. So, in April of this year (2018) we deliberately went to Lytham again and found the shop. I asked one of the ladies who worked there if they could suggest another coffee we might enjoy; bearing in mind our previous visit. I was suggested that we might like the Hawaiian coffee which was available and we did. It did not disappoint. All the coffees and teas for sale have a little "biography" to assist customers and the friendliness of the establishment is first class. A word of warning however, this is a class coffee drinkers' heaven and coffees of this sort don't come cheap. Simpler coffees are available and I am sure they are as good as they can be but if you wish to be more adventurous then read the prices. The next time I visit The Coffee Bean I'm going to try one that isn't on the coffee menu but I am assured it is worth trying - it's from Peru. I can't wait!

Warm friendly atmosphere. Catering for all ages. Had coffee and cake in the café area. May try the shop next time as lots of different coffees to choose from.

Called into this café on the off chance, after queuing to get in to another café. Had a lovely home made quiche & salad, tea & shared a cake. Would definitely call in again when in the area.

Wife said she was freezing so we had to have a hot drink immediately. We perused the extensive menu, I went for a Columbian coffee which was really nice and the wife had a hot-chocolate with all the trimmings and again she enjoyed it.

I will always support a local business over a chain especially when it comes to cafes and restaurants but sometimes I find myself asking why?

As it was my first visit I was surprised at how friendly the staff were. My wife had been in the day before. Anyway I had a prawn sandwich which was full, so much so they were falling out & it was fresh. I also had apple pie & cream which was delicious, a very friendly place which we will visit again.

lovely friendly staff, tiptop service, thanks for the help with tony fowler your resident artist. cafe is great....why go to cafe nero or costa and be served by minimum wage workers who dont care, listen or react when you can go to an independent sole trader that does give a toss because this is her his business. Nice coffee, great cake and perfect customer service

Popped in while shopping in Lytham for mid-afternoon coffee. Decor is a bit old-fashioned and could perhaps do with a revamp but service was fine. Wide selection of coffee - cafetiere and 'barista-style' such as americano & capuccino. Had a cafetiere of Columbian coffee so can't comment on quality of americanos etc. Cafetiere I had was fine. Staff were pleasant and our order arrived quickly, & those that ordered cakes enjoyed them.

Had lunch here on a recent holiday. Staff were pleasant and helpful. Food was average. Serving tea (although I was able to get decaff) as loose tea with a little individual tea strainer was bit annoying.

Visited during a busy Saturday afternoon for coffee only but was pleased to receive a very tasty & strong cup of Americano. Staff were really friendly and the premises nice and clean.

Visited here with my best friends on a trip up to Lytham. It was the busiest weekend of the year being Lytham's amazing 1940's wartime weekend, and we were hard pushed to grab a table!

Unfortunately, "Being busy" is not an excuse for the rudeness of the staff and being served with sarcasm.

Called in two days running during Lytham's 1940s weekend, first time for a light snack and the second time for a bite for breakfast. Both visits were enjoyable with good food and an excellent choice of drinks.

Cracking place, top quality both in terms of service, coffee and food. I was particularly impressed by the variety of coffees and how knowledgeable the staff were about the different types of coffee beans and their flavours. I will definitely be visiting again, thank you very much.

Called in for a quick bite today . I ordered a sandwich and a tuna melt , cappuccino and a milk shake , paid ,and sat back down stunned . I then went back to the till point to query the charge of £19.85 !!! Which i was assured was correct .we received our food which was thoroughly disappointing. Squashed bread with tomatoes part cut but not completely lashings of pickle and poorly sliced cheese made for difficult eating . My partner did not fair much better . Very poor .totally ill prepared. Claiming to be something it's not very good at

We nearly always have lunch here when we visit Lytham . When we arrive we usually take coffee , in warm weather we sit outside . After shopping we return to the Coffee Bean knowing that whatever we order we wont be disappointed. One of my favourites is the baked potato with prawns and it's served with a salad. There are always plenty of prawns and the salad is always fresh and crispy , [ a must for me , salad must be fresh no matter what time of year ].The tables are of different sizes and both tables and chairs are pine , the whole place has a very cosy feel to it and this is enhanced by the surrounding plate rack displaying tea pots. In the shop at the front of the café there are various cups , beakers and 17 blends of coffee etc. for sale , great for present buying. we always enjoy our visit as the staff are friendly. Just a note of warning , the toilets are upstairs.

Spur of the moment lunch with a friend and we decided to try this lovely little cafe. We wasn't disappointed. The staff was efficient and friendly and there was a good choice of food on the menu. We both choice different meals and they was both delicious.

For a place that rejoices in the name of the Coffee Bean, you would think that the coffee would be superlative. Our cappuccino was the weakest, wateriest, that we have had in this town, and we left it. Pity we had to pay in advance. Nice sitting out on the pavement, though.

One of the best little cafes in Lytham. Friendly staff, always willing to help. I could recommend this cafe to anyone.

If you are a coffee nut like me then will not want to miss out on a cuppa here, the list of specialist coffees on the menu is fantastic. I tried the Java cafetière, it is wonderful, not the least bit bitter, a nutty liquorice flavour, really rounded. My wife is a tea total and really enjoyed her pot. Thank you!

Popped into here for lunch. What lovely people. Had a really tasty toasted tuna sandwich. Plus salad. Also had a pot of tea. Real tea leaves in a pot with a tea strainer and with a china cup and saucer. Luxury. My husband had a glass of Merlot and a superb salmon open sandwich. Excellent. Will definitely be back.

All I can say is try the Apple Pie and Ice Cream. To die for, one of the best cafes in Lytham 👅👅👅👅👍🏾👍🏾

Ive been a customer for years and its always been a good cafe with good service, nice food and excellent teas. Its the best place on the Fylde to try out different teas and buy loose tea.

Great food at low prices. Staff are wonderful and the choice of menu and coffee is astonishing. We never go anywhere else for lunch when in Lytham. One drawback. Toilets are up a flight of stairs so not accessible for disabled folk

went for coffee and cake with friends - friendly staff quick service didn't feel pressured to be out quick - coffees and hot chocolates good cakes very good - didn't ask if home made but they tasted like they could have been - would go again

There are some mixed reviews on here about this lovely coffee shop stroke food restaurant.im going to say it's great a choice of so many coffees and the food is great I had pate with toasted French bread and salad,the pate was a huge portion were I had to ask for more bread.(which was provided free).my partner had hot beef and caramelised onions sandwich,which was also fab I've been told.there was also one desert which was chocolate caramel shortbread,lovely.before it gets boring the staff were great.if in lytham make a visit..

Lytham is a town with a vast selection of coffee shops from chains such as Café Nero and Costa to independents such as the Coffee Bean. What we like about this café is the lovely selection of beans available to select from- and to buy if you like them, they also sell yummy cakes as well!

Called in for a coffee on Sunday whilst shopping in lytham.

We live in Lytham and regularly go to the Coffee Bean whilst in town. The range of freshly ground coffees is great, and good advice on which coffee is which is useful. The staff are lovely and the atmosphere is very relaxing a lovely place for a coffee or a snack.

Well it was quite nice inside though the tables were pushed to near together, although we found a little table set in the bay window by the side of the door.

First came here before we moved into the area to live- so it's remained the first and best. Good selection of food and great choice of coffee. Sit outside on a nice day and watch Lytham walk by. Prices reasonable. Highly recommended.

Lovely place to visit the only criticism I have is the scones were dry and didn't appear to be homemade. There was a good selection of coffees to take home.

We went in lunch time ordered an open sandwich and cake slice tea and coffee .tea and coffee came which we started .five minutes asked the girl about the food. then say some one get served before us with a hot meal

If you like an old fashioned type coffee shop where you can order a cafetiere of coffee from a long list of different tasting options , this is the place for you .

great food, good prices, good customer service and were able to do me a gluten free meal and coffee and cake for pudding.

The Coffee Bean is a lovely cafe with good customer service, nice food and a huge selection of different teas and coffees.

We had an excellent coffee break here. Delicious coffee and a good selection of teas. Children enjoyed the milkshakes. Very charming barista made the ordering entertaining. All in all very good.

Whilst standing at the counter waiting to place my order, I was completely ignored by the staff who were holding a conversation. Not good!

This is our favourite local coffee shop. We have been going here for years. Food is excellent. Staff are always helpful.

We stopped at this cafe because it was the first we found with a free table on a sunny Good Friday afternoon.

Used to visit this coffee shop alot when kids were young. Revisited yesterday. Food was lovely and coffee great. Still very cramped and need to do something about the loos tho. Looked exactly the same as last visit 15years ago !

Although I have been to Lytham many times this week I made my first visit to this friendly cafe.

very slow service. thought it was a one off but went just before christmas and the same in january. Coffee tea good when you get it but even getting that took half hour nearly. incompetance somewhere, we had to say we have been waiting a long time and were ready to leave before we were told it wouldnt be long. it wasnt a four course lunch just simple fare so will avoid in future unless i know that things are more timely as just under an hour for some sandwiches is ridiculous. we only waited as we were busy talking. food ok when we got it.

The grand tour of Lytham's gastronomic delights continued as the mum-in-law treated us to lunch in genteel surroundings. My hot beef and caramelised onion sandwich was accompanied by salad and home-made coleslaw and was very satisfying indeed. High marks also for the jacket potato with salmon. Coffee came in a cafetière as befitted the upmarket atmosphere and I felt so guilty about not using the knife and fork for my sandwich. You can't take me anywhere!

I love this place. Not only do they serve nice cakes, lunches and teas, they also sell a wide range of loose teas and coffees. It's rather unique amongst the town's tea rooms.
