Busy Bean - Ballymena

I was very disappointed with my experience at this restaurant. I purchased the caramel squares from a shop and left a review on the company's website. Although I received an apology, it did not make up for the fact that the caramel squares were not good quality. I will give another product a try in the future, but for £3.00, I expected higher quality for the four squares I purchased. This happened in May, and the squares had well over 5 or 6 days before their use by or best before date. Unfortunately, I was unable to upload a picture at the time.

Best and cheapest wee coffee shop and bakery around. Staff definitely don’t smoke nor are dogs allowed inside. Unsure where Raymond W is getting his information but it’s so untrue. Very friendly staff who go out of their way to help in any way they can.

I've been using Busy Bean for a few months now after discovering it on my walking route in Ballymena. It is great for breakfasts, I've treated family members who have stayed recently from England breakfast and coffee here on several occasions and it never disappoints. Staff are lovely and always very accommodating. I'd definitely recommend.

Me and my husband had breakfast here one day, the food wasn't the best we have tasted and the staff were robotic in the way they served. Wouldn't rush back

The restaurant is warm, cozy, and very friendly. The enticing smell of freshly baked goods welcomes you as soon as you walk through the door. The cleanliness is top-notch, and the scones and apple pie are a must-try, especially when paired with a freshly ground coffee. The staff is extremely helpful, and there are excellent parking facilities available. I can't understand how someone could leave such negative feedback - were they under the influence of drugs?
