I'm not sure Bean Brothers' baristas have even read the Wikipedia article on lattes. They certainly don't know how to make one. The unfriendly, grumpy barista took our order for a latte and a caramel macchiato, barely spoke to us during the transaction, then dumped enough milk for both drinks into a large steaming pitcher, pressed a button on the machine, and let the machine heat and froth the milk. I'm pretty sure Bean Brothers doesn't know what microfoam is, either. We received terrible drinks. The bitter taste of the burnt espresso was not masked by the frothy hot milk as it would have been with properly steamed milk. It has never been such a struggle for me to drink a 12-oz cup of coffee and milk.
Husband went back there for a pound of medium roast coffee. We received a very dark roast, burnt, bitter and oily. Drank two cups of it, then had to replace it with decent coffee from a better roaster.
Terribly disappointed with the quality of the drinks and service here.
Had breaky here with my partner. Even though it IS a bit overpriced across the board, it's a very neat Coffee / Self Self breakfast-lunch restaurant hybrid.
Had an omelette with spinach & cheese and it was splendid. Also had freshly squeezed OJ. AWESOME.
It was really busy when we were there and they don't have much competition around the area for what they cater to,
I'd come back.
