Cafe Busy Bean (New Britain)

Beautiful Cafe. Calm atmosphere. Chill music. Baristas greeted me when I entered and took their time to make sure my experience was outstanding.
Cappuccino and blueberry bagel were both delicious.
I loved reading my book on a couch where the morning sun was streaming in.

I arrived via the convenient Fastrak bus and it was a short walk to the cafe. Ordered a bacon egg & cheese and a hot mocha for lunch - excellent quality and taste. This cafe is right on the corner with big windows in the seating area to watch the street outside as you enjoy your drink or food.

I gave Busy Bean a try for the first time. I arrived at 7:24am to get breakfast, however the door was locked with the open sign illuminated ‘Open’. After several knocks on the door,they finally opened the door. I placed the order at 7:31 and did not get food till about 8am even though I was the first customer to order. Approximately five other customers who ordered after me, received their orders before me. This is unacceptable. The lack of customer awareness takes away from what could be a great breakfast spot.

What a truly lovely cafe. Their food is excellent as is their coffee. They also have a separate space set aside for students to work and study. If you are looking for a quick breakfast or lunch, look no further. Also a good place for longer conversations with friends.

This coffee shop is absolutely amazing! The employees are very friendly, the coffee and food is out of this world! Cafe Busy Bean in New Britain is my go to spot! I highly recommend everyone to visit and have their minds blown!!

I absolutely love stopping at Cafe Busy Bean for the warm cheddar cheese bagel. At first I was only getting strawberry cream cheese on my bagel but I discovered pumpkin cream cheese with plain cream cheese. Delicious!!!!
On top of GREAT food the owners and staff are amazing. Each time I visit the cafe I feel like family. I can't remember the woman who works mornings and is always smiling, she always says my order as I approach the counter. It's things like this that make me revisit places.
I also wanted to point out one day visiting the New Britain location I was witness to an area homeless man getting a drink and being treated just like anyone else that walked through the door. Now this warmed my heart. As I've seen the opposite when I've been at other businesses within town. Thank you Cafe Busy Bean for ALL THE YOU DO!!!

Awesome drinks fresh food and good care for customers. Don’t Go to Starbucks come here you can try a new flavor everyday of the week !

Proud it's in NB. Great quality food and the coffee was better than any other I've had anywhere in NB. Nice customer service, too. Will definitely come back 👍

So far I have been here a couple of times and the service is always great and inviting. The people working here are kind and courteous. The bagels are delicious!

I am a bit overwhelmed by the amount of choices but the people at the register have been patient with me every time and walked me through the choices. Definitely helped to calm me lol.

First time at this establishment and having mixed feelings. It tries so hard to be a trendy cafe with bright lights and nice furnishings...but it was empty of customers. The myriad menu items illuminated high behind the counter were difficult to read and when I asked for a written menu, to accommodate a simple disability problem, I was dismissed outright. The atmosphere is just cold, a parody of eclectic atmosphere in a poverty ridden downtown area of a city that has no walking traffic and no bustling area business that employees people for whom the exaggerated prices and complicated extreme concoctions beckon. The coffee was average. I paid for parking and got average coffee from an employee who never greeted me and never smiled or asked to help me.
