Bean By The River - Nottingham

We dropped in here while walking along the embankment with the dog and had two coffees and a biscuit each and it came to £8. We thought it was quite expensive for what it was but they do have quite a captive market if you want to sit on the embankment and have a drink.

The coffee at this restaurant was terrible - it tasted like watered-down milk with some food coloring added. However, the staff were friendly. This place has potential, but the owner should invest in proper barista training for the staff.

Absolutely the worst coffee I have ever had .I ask for a latte when she gave it to me I looked in the cup and couldn’t believe it then I thought she gave me the wrong coffee so I ask her then she said that lattes are flat no frothy and she was so rude about it if this is what you get I won’t be going back .they really need to train there staff .this cafe is in such a nice place it could be so much better I hope the owner reads this.

Honestly this place has so much potential but sadly let down by every single thing possible! Hygiene levels are below par, the coffee is tasteless, overpriced barely anything on the menu! The last time me my girlfriend went we asked for a simple coffee a hot chocolate... simple right? The ladies brunt response “we have no coffee and no hot chocolate, only tea”...... no coffee in a coffee shop.... right! Then asked the lady do you have any cakes etc, her response was “we only have crisps”....... so a fantastically located coffee shop only sells tea and crisps..... I’m sorry but a builders cafe on a motorway sells more! AVOID AVOID AVOID

I had a disappointing experience with the toastie at this restaurant. The ham was low quality, the cheese tasted like plastic, and the bread was the cheapest available. There was no variety or options to choose from. It's a pity because this cafe has great potential.
