A few months back now something totally different opened in Weymouth. It was the Good Bean coffee shop. Weymouth being a tourist town is full of cheap and tacky tea rooms with uncomfortable wooden chairs and rip off prices. Good bean is a breath of fresh air to the town.

*The shop
Just standing outside the store you can see that this is something different. The first thing you come across is the way that there is seating and tables outside for you to drink your coffee at, perfect if you want to work on your tan whilst relaxing. As you walk in the shop is well lit and decorated with bright colours. Taking a look round the shop you can either sit looking out the window watching the world go by, on comfortable wooden chairs or on the comfortable arm chairs. Actually these arm chairs are so comfortable you will find yourself not wanting to get up again. Whilst you're there you can pick up a newspaper from the rack (well it gives you another reason to stay comfortable anyway). There is plenty of seating and there is an upstairs to the shop aswell with even more seating.
To order your drink you go up to the first counter and order what you want, after it is made for you, you pick it up from the next counter. You can then go and add milk, sugar and all that kind of thing from a well designed condiments stand.

*Drinks
Well they are really good, well its the best cup of tea that i can find in Weymouth anyway. All the staff there are trained on how to make all the drinks and they are all made with the care and attention that this training brings. They offer many kinds of coffee's, iced teas, teas, cappucino and hot chocolate as well as many bottled drinks.

*Food
Always with my cup of tea I buy some chocolate toast. This is a piece of bread that has chocolate chips in that is served warm so the chocolate is just begining to melt. It tastes like perfection. They also sell sandwiches, chocolate and things like that but i've never tried these becasue they are kinda expensive for what they are when a visit to tesco just down the road can get them a lot cheaper.

*Price
Well the price of the drinks isnt that bad. It is 85p for a small mug of tea but this is plenty enough for me. The coffee's are also well priced. The food like i said is a bit expensive so you may want to give that a miss. It isnt the cheapest place to buy coke but you do get to sit in those arm chairs so it's well worth the few extra pence.

*Coffee Club
If you pick up a loyalty card in store for every 9 drinks that you buy using it you get the next one free. Not only that but when you send away your application form you get a postcard that allows you to get a free travel mug filled with your favourite drink for free. Well it's free so it's worth a go.

Well all in all next time you walk past a good bean coffee shop take a walk in, if it is anything like the Weymouth one you be extremely happy (well until you have to get out of the armchair anyway)
