The Coffee Bean Cafe - Apia

It is a ok caffe for breakfast and lunch, but they are really available on their dinner menu only later in the week. Italian dishes are

Pleasantly surprised by the quality of the coffee at this joint. Coffee was on par with my home town in Melbourne, which is a big call. After finding this place it ended up being my ‘go to’ for my morning coffee fix. Had a couple of lunches here too and found it to be tasty and fresh. Definitely worth a visit. Catch you next time when I’m in town.

Really good coffee in Apia, with great food and cakes, great value! Toasties are really good and Oreo brownie was amazing. Staff are really friendly which makes for a really nice and welcoming atmosphere! Will be back soon

Huge, reasonably priced meals with some nice local twists, e.g. breadfruit or taro hash instead of potato. We had the pancakes small stack , an eggs Benedict, a baked bean breakfast, a big breaky, a banana smoothie, and a tropical fruit smoothie. All were very good. Great coffee here and large cups too. Service was slow one smoothie forgotten but apparently that is uncharacteristic of this place. Really nice lunch menu so would return for that

Service was friendly but incompetent. My small coffee cost 13 WST . Placed our order twice with 2 different waiters and the 2nd waiter didn't know what panikeke were despite it being on the menu and needed to go out back to ask. We really only came for the Whipped Apia Gelato that the signs boasted out front. So we ordered banana fritters but asked to swap out the vanilla ice cream for their Special Whipped Apia Coconut Jam Gelato. It tasted exactly like french vanilla so we were confused as to whether we actually had just been served their regular vanilla but charged an extra 8 per dish. We asked for clarification and they assured us it was the special ice cream. But instead of making allowances for the fact that ice cream was swapped out...we were charged as if there was the normal ice cream PLUS the cost of the additional special gelato which ended up being an expensive ice cream stop lol. So our advice is to not bother with the hype of the Whipped Apia Gelato. Fritters were yum, panikeke were nice and coffee was great but stupidly expensive . Soy milk costs 3 extra?! Then an extra shot costs another 3?! Small coffee ended up costing 13 WST
