The Coffee Bean Cafe

Huge, reasonably priced meals with some nice local twists, e.g. breadfruit or taro hash instead of potato. We had the pancakes (small stack), an eggs Benedict, a baked bean breakfast, a big breaky, a banana smoothie, and a tropical fruit smoothie. All were very good. Great coffee here and large cups too. Service was slow & one smoothie forgotten but apparently that is uncharacteristic of this place. Really nice lunch menu so would return for that

Service was friendly but incompetent. My small coffee cost $13 (WST). Placed our order twice with 2 different waiters and the 2nd waiter didn't know what "panikeke" were despite it being on the menu and needed to go out back to ask. We really only came for the "Whipped Apia" Gelato that the signs boasted out front. So we ordered banana fritters but asked to swap out the vanilla ice cream for their Special Whipped Apia Coconut Jam Gelato. It tasted exactly like french vanilla so we were confused as to whether we actually had just been served their regular vanilla but charged an extra $8 per dish. We asked for clarification and they assured us it was the special ice cream. But instead of making allowances for the fact that ice cream was swapped out...we were charged as if there was the normal ice cream PLUS the cost of the additional special gelato which ended up being an expensive ice cream stop lol. So our advice is to not bother with the hype of the Whipped Apia Gelato. Fritters were yum, panikeke were nice and coffee was great (but stupidly expensive). Soy milk costs $3 extra?! Then an extra shot costs another $3?! Small coffee ended up costing $13 (WST)

Good coffee and gelato, and attentive and lively staff. I didn't stop for breakfast, but I would in future based on this experience and the good menu options.

Coffee Bean has very awesome coffee's. My personal favorite is their flat whites. But, they have a variety of coffees available as well, from cappuccino, fraps, mocachino and many more. The place also serves delicious cup cakes, muffins, sandwiches and tasty treats to go along with your cuppa. It is a very cozy place that would be highly recommended for book worms to fade away to into their stories while enjoying their coffee. Also, they have a very friendly bunch working there, makes you feel at home while you await the barrista's final product to be served. There is also an outdoor space if you feel like soaking in some sun (although I would recommend you stay inside the nice and cool air con lol). Hope this review helps anyone deciding to visit coffee bean or not. The coffee will be worth your $10 lol Cheers. Tofa soifua

stumble upon this cafe by the beach road when i was on holiday in Samoa. coming from a hospitality and culinary background my target is always food and drink. therefore; - Best Samoan hospitality from Andrew and the rest of the staff - has the tastiest coffee you can find in town! - brunch was mouth-watering! Fusion Samoan food i would say. keep up the good job Chef!! - they have different activities/ classes/ entertainments daily. etc salsa night on a Wednesday live band on a Thursday night Polynesian dance/art/culture on a (not exactly sure which day) learning Samoan language although i regretted not taking a nice pic there with all of them ='(

Pleasantly surprised by the quality of the coffee at this joint. Coffee was on par with my home town in Melbourne, which is a big call. After finding this place it ended up being my ‘go to’ for my morning coffee fix. Had a couple of lunches here too and found it to be tasty and fresh. Definitely worth a visit. Catch you next time when I’m in town.

Really worth a visit if you'd like some peace and quiet and Coffees. Food is pretty good. Cainet baked sweets are good. I like the way they put local foods and vegetables on the menu and some gluten free foods away well. Eggs bene worth a try because they used some breadfruit the days I had it. Very tasty although cook might need some training help with the sauce making process.

Definitely not like in Australia but the best on the island for sure. The machine does the great job with espresso but for latte art you need one of the guys. But even so I can't tell the difference between cappuccino/latte/flat white (apart from the chocolate powder of course). I appreciate late closing hours. The chairs are not that comfy for long sitting, however.
