Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews

Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.

When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.

Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Still the best coffee!

May 2020 • none

Always a delight to get back to The Bean and (probably) the worlds best Flat White. We've been getting takeaway coffees during Level 3, and now the lockdown is over the cafe is fully open again. Good selection of cafe food - I particularly like the cheese scones. We'd be in more often if it wasn't 11 500 miles away from home!

The BEST

Jan 2022 • couples

We have driven past but never stopped, until today, more fools us. A fabulous Cafe with fabulous coffee & food, but even better staff. It is not often we see staff checking & clearing tables and chatting with the customers with a lovely big smile (behind the masks) Just love ❤ it

best date loaf!

Mar 2020 • none

About 2 hours before Jacinda put is in level 3 lockdown, the staff were looking harrassed and apologetic in that we had to sign in on a form. But they were coping, efficient, friendly and the date loaf was wonderful. And the milkshake was a true thick shake. Support them when they can open again.

Service great coffee poor. It's been a while since I frequented this cafe where a long black came like a long black. Not burnt filter coffee. Even when another replacement is sent out, it looked & tasted exactly like the poor quality first serve..

Trditional inside with good outdoor

Dec 2019 • none

Have been there with a group sereral times. Mostly just have their good coffee. Cabinet food minimal but has very good sandwiches. No savouries. Wall stories interesting. Needs an update of the missmatch of tables and chairs. With the change of ownership during the year we have found the service good and with a smile.

Still fantastic!

Jan 2023 • none

I went back to The Bean in January 2023, after last visiting in July 2020. I had expected the coffee to be just as good. I hadn't expected the owner to remember me from last time. That is astonishing people skills. Coffee is still good, as are the cheese scones.

Outstanding Coffee

Nov 2023 • couples

We stopped into this delightful town of Whakatane and enjoyed the best coffee and full cooked breakfast. The staff were friendly and welcoming and we all loved our sumptuous meals. The coffee was outstanding!

A Very Enjoyable Breakfast

Jul 2020 • none

We had a simple Egg Muffin breakfast and were absolute thrilled to find that The Bean had plunger coffee available - very unusual and exactly what we were wanting! Freshly ground beans and the coffee was perfect :) The staff were exceptionally helpful and we really enjoyed our Winter Sunday breakfast - out of the wind and the sun warmed us beautifully - a great spot.

Unpretentious

Feb 2020 • couples

little café with a simple selection of food. Its pleasant appearance from the approach and outside area attracted us in. By the waterfront but below the walls.

old people food

Nov 2019 • none

Coffee ........... coffee coffee is really really good even if you ask for weird order Went with older friends who love the food, i think a little bland and hit and miss. Rather than trying to do too many dishes just stick with sammies and a few cakes. after all its all about the coffee...

Dreadful food

Oct 2019 • none

Second time ai have been here first time dry stale scone but good coffee. This time yes good coffee. We ordered a frittata no salad very expensive at $12, it came out after a long wait, though it was not busy, the man too busy talking to a friend. He was very rude said he didn’t care frittata comes with salad but you don’t have to eat it. It was dry egg with a few frozen veggies in it totally tasteless. We Will not be back even though the coffee is good. Gave it an extra star for that reason The whole experience was terrible.
