This place was hopping, but it was worth the wait. The dragon's breath coffee was so good, I went back for a second. The blueberry muffin was nice to hold us over while we waited for our breakfast sandwiches to be made. The BLT on...an everything bagel was delicious! Staff are very friendly also.More

We continued to rave to each other throughout our nine day Cape Breton vacation that Bean There was “better than good.” Delicious coffee, perfectly made scones and muffins, and hearty breakfast sandwiches to start us off each morning in Baddeck. Even with lines pressing into...the small cafe, Susan the owner made us feel welcome and well taken care of each morning. If you visit Baddeck, Bean There is an absolute Must!More

Great spot located in the heart of downtown Baddeck. We enjoyed coffees and bagels. Bagels were soft and tasty. Coffee was not as strong as I’d like, but perfectly drinkable. Staff were very friendly and most welcoming. Inside has several tables, but there is ample...outdoor patio seating.More

We had already been in for coffee and pastries in the morning so when we found ourselves in need of a quick to-go lunch, we popped back in for sandwiches. They were delicious!

Tucked in the corner on the main road in baddeck, little crowded inside, but great service and the best mocha I’ve ever had. Would come back next time I’m in town!

Quaint coffee shop in a great location. The coffee was great and the scones delicious. The staff were super friendly and clearly enjoyed great relationships with the many locals who stopped by first thing in the morning - as a visitor it was wonderful to...see these interactions. It won't surprise you to learn we went back more than once!More

My favourite coffee shop! Unpretentious, excellent coffee and a great place to catch up with the locals. Open year-round too! Be sure to have one of their amazing scones with your coffee.

Stopped in for coffee and an iced americano. Both were weak, verging on watery. Both drinks were served in child-sized, cheap paper cups. Not quite as low-rent as fast food chain coffee, but not much better. Sigh.

We stopped in there today after deciding to support local rather than a chain coffee shop nearby. The man behind the counter acted like we were a bother and snapped at me when I placed my order. I was tempted to snap back but took...decided to go high when they go low, as the saying goes. My daughter’s order was wrong but we didn’t realize this till we were in the car. So disappointing.More

Came here today for a latte and a pastry. Service was great. They are very strict on the 3 people limit due to COVID which was great. Food tasted great. Pastrie was awesome, the coffee however wasnt the best, but was ok.

Cute little spot to get a coffee and latte! Drove through Baddeck on the way to the Cabot Trail and on the way back home. Will definitely stop on our next trip to the area!

I ordered a hot chocolate and chicken club sandwich. Very tasty and the hot chocolate is not too sweet. Staff are friendly. Highly recommend.

I have been coming here for years and love when I get to have a breakfast sandwich on an errand in Baddeck. Great cappuccinos and baked goods. Always friendly. The local art on the walls is also great to look at.
