The Magic Bean Emporium

This place is fantastic! The atmosphere is great, and the coffee and desserts are amazing. I was really excited to walk into that small coffeehouse!

I visit often for brunch with a gal pal or just to grab a hot drink on my way through. Service and food/drink is lovely with a beautiful venue. Gutted to be charged 45p for soya milk though, only thing I’m not a fan of

Very welcoming, relaxing and friendly environment. I had a gorgeous gluten free brownie and latte with a shot of ginger bread Syrup. Everything is just perfect for taking 10 minutes out of a busy day . Thank you the magic bean emporium x Voir le carte

I went for lunch after reading positive reviews online. The restaurant looked cute, but I was left dissatisfied. They had limited food options, only offering a few pastries. I ordered two pastries but received the wrong order. The hot chocolate I ordered tasted more like warm milk.

Small, busy but lovely! Stuff is very friendly helpful. Inside is a lot going on with decoration thag brings you into a little fairy world. Prices are acceptable with a good range of vegan cakes, coffees, hot chocolates, tea milkshakes. Only negative is that there is no costumer toilet otherwise perfect!

We found this venue by chance amongst numerous other conventional cafes. Being late for lunch we understandably only had once choice of panini (with a bag of crisps)but it was tasty and we shared a scrumptious orange cake and cream too. The place was charming and comfortable with cheerful staff. We would recommend it and would definitely come back next time we visit Northampton. Voir le carte

I have visited this restaurant multiple times and the staff have always been lovely. There is a wide variety of milkshakes available for lovers of the drink. The cakes are truly impressive. I would recommend trying the creme brule tea. While there could be a few more lunch options, it is a great place to bring the kids and enjoy the fun artifacts while sipping on a brew or hot chocolate.

The service and welcome was rushed, unhelpful and unfriendly and we were the only two waiting. I have a lot of time for anyone in a service role and I'm not a tough customer, but I won't be going back again. I love my coffee so I at least expect to have a very brief conversation about what is on offer but the girl just pointed me to the menu. The coffee wasn't great and the brownie, worse. I noticed a GF label after buying, if this was gluten free perhaps you should mention it, I didn't ask for a gluten free brownie. If the service had been in any way friendly or helpful I could have overlooked this, but the whole experience truly left a bad taste in my mouth.

Popped in for a drink with my daughter, we were attracted to the decor and feel of the place. We had a drink each which was fine although I thought the tea was quite pricey. The big thing it lacks is the personal feel of an independent cafe. The hello, when you arrive. Goodbye when you leave. Acknowledgment when you arrive at the counter, the smile, friendly feel. We overheard other people ordering and there wasn’t the friendly help/ recommendation/ chat you would expect. The other criticism was the music which just seemed to be heart fm style radio music, totally out of keeping with the decor and atmosphere they are trying to create. It’s a shame but I probably won’t visit again even though... Voir le carte
