Lovely little find today while visiting Hay-in-wye. We had a mocha and hot choccie! Both were really good! Also brownie and a pastel de nata! Heaven in the form of cakes! They are not greedy with prices either, but generous with portions! Will definitely be our coffee spot when we come to visit again!

Tucked away below street level on the river bank this little Cafe is trying hard to stand out from the predictability of obvious places more or less traditional.I visited after a rainy spell so the outdoor area was a bit washed out and yet I managed to have my breakfast sitting under an apple tree, oat latte and vegan pastries and rolls.The highlight of my morning was a "cruffin" , a sumptuous hybrid chou pastry creation: a vertical croissant turning into a muffin with icing sugar and a melted chocolate centre, one of the best things I ate in 2023 so far!If you would like to try it - and so you should - head to the Bean Box on Saturday mornings, the earlier the better.Besides the cruffin and almond croissant there are several cake slices and a surprisingly good selection of hot drinks for such a small place ?I dare say that most of the customers are local and there are enough seats to enjoy a peaceful coffee and read a book surrounded by the green arms of Mother Nature.Must be a hit in the Summer or on sunny days but even in November was a great find!

Best. Toastie. Ever. ? Well worth the half an hour wait. Lovely coffee too. I'm not local but will definitely be returning to the area just for this place alone!

Only had a takeaway flat white for my riverbank walk but it was beautifully made. So good had a second on my way back. Made with superb coffee roasted in Ross on Wye. Garden very pretty.

This is well worth a stroll to by the river, an oasis only a couple of minutes walk away from the main town area. The gentleman who served us (helping out for the day) was very friendly and we had a nice chat about where we were from and where we were going. He was spot on about the spectacular drive we would have the next day on our way to Anglesey. The coffee was really good, just the pick me up we needed on our travels. Highly recommend as a pleasant coffee stop in Hay on Wye. (And of course there are also books?)

The most delicious toastie I've ever had. This was perfect after a walk and to warm up after the rain. Would go again!

Very tasty toasties with a variety of fillings and excellent bacon rolls. The Bean Box is a lovely place to sit and relax by the river.

Lovely place to sit surrounded by garden. Our 15 year old said it was the best bacon butty she had ever had, and we felt the same about the cheese toasties. Would be back often if not living in North Yorkshire.

Gorgeous coffee, cakes and snacks in a beautiful garden above the river Wye. Some shelter including a book shop with a few board games. Vegan options. Sadly no soya milk these days but they do have oat milk. Friendly staff, robins and blackbirds. The garden is only 18 months old but looks very established.
