About The Bean Coffee
Where Coffee Meets Craft and Community
Since 2002, The Bean Coffee Roastery & Café has been more than just a coffee stop — it’s a place where locals gather, conversations start, and every cup tells a story. Located in the heart of Whakatāne, we’re proud to serve our community with coffee that’s roasted fresh in-house and brewed with skill, passion, and soul.

Our Story
What started as a small espresso bar has grown into a beloved local hub, known for its rich aroma of freshly roasted beans and the unmistakable hum of a La San Marco manual espresso machine — one of the few of its kind in New Zealand.
The Bean was built on a love for authentic coffee and community spirit. Over the years, we’ve stayed true to our roots: roasting on-site, handcrafting every shot, and offering a menu full of hearty, homemade options for every kind of appetite.
Our Promise
At The Bean, we believe coffee should never be ordinary. That’s why we do things differently — from the way we roast our beans to the way we treat every person who walks through our door. Whether you’re here for a quick flat white or a long, lingering brunch, you’ll always be greeted with warmth and quality that feels like home.
