Lovely staff, great food and best service is what I would say if it was a one liner. Staff are very accommodating to requests on customizations. I've always liked the avocado sandwich with their best salads. They are too good to be true. Food tastes well and fills you too. Lots of vegan options too. Definitely recommend this for the sandwiches, salads, brownies and smoothies.
I decided to come to Busy Beans because it was quiet for a change. Always busy when I come buy. I tried the Acai bowl which consisted of Acai, sliced banana, dates, blueberries, strawberries, granola topped with flax sesame pumpkin and sunflower seeds. It is frozen served with date syrup. Better to have this in the summer lol. Very delicious will definitely come again and try something different. Very friendly staff.
Cozy cafe in a great location! Tasty coffee and many breakfast/ brunch options. Very good and friendly atmosphere and service :)
Great little coffee shop, staff are really nice and friendly. Been here twice now, mocha & cappuccinos are really nice alongside their standard coffees. Good selection of food, pastry/sweet treats by the counter and good selection of fruit bowls on menu. I got the almond and chocolate brownie, absolutely delicious, portion size was really good for the price gathered you normally only get small ones else where. 5/5
The vegan plate is the tastiest, healthiest food in Redhill - by a mile! Very friendly, professional owner/manager and crew. Cannot recommend this place enough. If you’re fed up eating junk, this café is Shangri-la. The coffee is great too. Best I’ve had in Redhill.
Busy Beans is a gem in Redhill. Not only is everything they offer very tasty and good quality, but their staff is also genuinely lovely! They care more about your experience than they do about making money. Their coffee is really good, you can tell they take really good care of their coffee machine, it never tastes burned or bad, just delicious. Had a takeaway salad yesterday, it was so good and healthy! Their prices are very reasonable, too. Highly recommended. They are kid and dog friendly, as well. Love this place and the staff!
Really good coffee, affordable and staff is lovely and welcoming. We stayed few hours with our laptops catching up with work. WiFi is decent, around 15mpbs. They are also dog-friendly
Fantastic cafe on the high street in Redhill. Excellent coffee and a great selection of smoothies. Really chilled out and a good spot to take a break from shopping. Seats indoors and out and staff very friendly and welcoming. Lovely baklava too!
