What Abraham Lee likes about Bean Me Up:
This place has a fantastic atmosphere and decor that we really enjoyed! The coffee was excellent and very strong. I also loved the almond croissant I had. However, seating is limited indoors, and the restaurant only accepts cash. There’s plenty of parking available along the road or right outside in the open lot. View all feedback. What Sarah Dennie doesn't like about Bean Me Up:
this place made me uncomfortable with their anti-vaccine rhetoric and lack of mask wearing. The quality of coffee and baked goods does not make up for their flagrant disregard for public health. View all feedback.

I’ve found Oat milk is rare in NZ coffee shops so extra stars just for that. Coffee is delicious, vegan sausage rolls are delicious and the staff are great.
