Feedback
The restaurant is warm, cozy, and very friendly. The enticing smell of freshly baked goods welcomes you as soon as you walk through the door. The cleanliness is top-notch, and the scones and apple pie are a must-try, especially when paired with a freshly ground coffee. The staff is extremely helpful, and there are excellent parking facilities available. I can't understand how someone could leave such negative feedback - were they under the influence of drugs?
Best and cheapest wee coffee shop and bakery around. Staff definitely don’t smoke nor are dogs allowed inside. Unsure where Raymond W is getting his information but it’s so untrue. Very friendly staff who go out of their way to help in any way they can.
This restaurant is way too expensive. I ordered egg and onion sandwiches and it seemed like they didn't even bother to mix it properly. The onions were so roughly chopped, it felt like they were cut with a hatchet. Additionally, they allow dogs in the café, which I don't think should be allowed.
Love this wee coffee shop. It is so homely and staff are really friendly. Lovely home-baked goodies and it's great value for money. Give it a try.
Was part of a local Church outreach team in the Tullygarley area and we visited the Busy Bean every afternoon before starting the day. The staff were so so friendly and even though we were quite a large team, the staff made every effort to accommodate us. Coffee, tea and traybakes were excellent. I would recommend the cafe to anyone!
