My son and his friends had an amazing time celebrating his birthday at the café! They loved the great food, unlimited squash, and getting to choose their own ice lollies. The party was held right inside the skatepark, which meant endless fun for the kids, while parents could relax and have a chat over nicely chilled drinks. A huge thank you to Ryan and the entire team — they were incredibly friendly, organised, and attentive throughout. From the moment we arrived to the very end, everything was taken care of with a smile. The staff made sure the kids felt welcome and excited, and nothing was too much trouble. It was a stress-free experience for us and such a fun-filled day for the children. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a brilliant kids' party venue with top-notch service!

So I had some issues with the food ordered. However the customer service experience went above and beyond so I am now A Very Happy Customer. Ordered the bacon & cheese burger. For the price, I was surprised at the lower-than-expected quality. The main issues I experienced were hard and cold bacon, wilted lettuce, and pre-salted chips. The slaw was very tasty but a very small portion. On the whole I was disappointed with the food served to me. I very much look forward to eating here again.

Can't rate this place highly enough. Friendly, helpful staff. Lovely atmosphere, and the food is amazing. Love the selection of beverages, and it's all reasonably priced. I visit the tasty bean often, because my youngest son loves the activity park, but I am someone who suffers with a lot of anxiety, so it's difficult to find somewhere I'm comfortable with, tasty bean ticks all the boxes.

Used the cafe as a pit stop whilst waiting with friends for a bike to be serviced. Had a couple of hot drinks and some food. The food seemed a little expensive, but when the burgers came out realised that it was not expensive for the portion size, the chicken and cheese/bacon burgers were an excellent portion size for the price, both well cooked with fries and coleslaw. Menu had a good choice for what appeared to be a small cafe in a nice location. Hot drinks were a nice selection too not just barista coffees, but of flavoured hot chocolates and alcoholic and non winter warmers too. The sour cherry & plum warmer was really nice and hit the spot after a cold journey down that way. They also had a dog menu and it was nice to see people were able to bring their dogs in to order and there was a drinking tap and water bowl outside. Nice to support a local business rather than visiting a brand

Took a ride down to the Tasty Bean Cafe in Watford with some Biker Mates. Great atmosphere, super service, great food and excellent Cappuccino! The Tasty Bean is in an excellent location with good access to pleasant walks. There’s also a modern Skate Park nearby.

We recently celebrated my son's birthday party there. The children had a fantastic time – and so did the parents! The kids could hit the tracks with their bikes or scooters, or enjoy the playground. Whenever they need a break, they can come to the cafe for a quick pitstop. Wendy and the team looked after us brilliantly and kept the squash flowing. The food was freshly prepared and went down well with the little athletes. Jerome organised everything superbly – no question was too much trouble, and he offered some helpful tips for the day. Thank you for a great day and we'll definitely come again.
