A wonderful place to grab breakfast or lunch. Gets busy for lunch as it services the government departments around it. A very dynamic menu that presents a variety of exciting items. The burgers, the pastas, the salads are fantastic! Great coffee, too! Friendly and fun staff. Perfecto!

Love this place- staff are friendly and accommodating to even the most tricky coffee orders. Coffee is always perfect and food is excellent. They also have a great selection of pastries and cakes to have with you coffee - look at this little beauty with lots of lemony fresh cream - delicious

It's been a good place for coffee and breakfast close to office. Nice food, great service and friendly staff. Never had any issues on egg bacon roll. Apparently Jo's roll has egg(s) and it's more than mine. I will give a one star and make complaint if I can't get the same next time. lol.

The urban bean is a great place to eat! The burgers are bigger than you expect and taste awesome too! The chefs really know what they’re doing. The staff are friendly and the hot chocolate is always a good choice no matter what time of day it is and nobody can tell me otherwise!
