Bean And Bud - Harrogate

I’ve been popping in for a coffee, filter brew, and hot chocolates for years. The quality is so good and remains consistent. The baristas are top notch professionals and always friendly. I highly recommend a visit if you’re in the area.

I nearly didn 't review this place as supporting local independent businesses is the motto of our family. But I then had a change of heart. This needs saying. We have over a few months visited here for take out coffees and hot chocolates.. The first time my husband commented that the coffee was nice but it was expensive and the man and woman behind the counter had an attitude The second time I was alone and noticed the sniffy attitude to. It 's as though they are doing you a favour serving you. I don 't need over the top false niceties but slightly friendly and polite would be nice. Roll on a few weeks and the lovely smell of coffee wafted across the road and I popped in for a take away coffee and a hot chocolate. I am a diabetic so I asked for a hot chocolate made with 100% cocoa chocolate. I then asked if they had any sweeteners to which the woman making the drink said really? Do you really think you need more sweetener? Don 't you think it 's sweet enough? I replied that it was 100% cocoa chocolate and therefore has no sugar, which was the point of the order. In anyone 's book this was extremely rude. Sorry Bean and Bud, you may have your niche customers who think you are wonderful but if you are consistently as rude to non regulars you don 't deserve more custom.

Nice range of coffee with different methods of brewing. Also a wide selection of filter systems to buy, V60 and others. I was impressed .

Had the most amazing chorizo and mozzarella toasted sandwich it really was lovely! Coffee was fab too I liked the fact I got a choice between two coffees of the week nice to be able to try something different. The service was excellent everything came out quick, hot and was all served with a smile :

Discovered this restaurant by chance while visiting Harrogate. Stopped in for a coffee and tea with a cake. The service was excellent. The toasted tea cake was perfect and the coffee was delicious. Usually coffee can be bitter, but here it was just right. Thank you for a wonderful visit!
