I thought thisvwas such a cool location for a restaurant. Its a beautiful old train station which…read morehas lots of windows and a very open and relaxed feel. The staff was friendly and the coffee was pretty good. I ordered coco loco french toast (french toast with toasted coconut and whipped cream) and i loved that it was the drier style rather than custard. It was very good and I didn't need syrup at all. I also ordered a side of bacon. For me it was 3 and a half stars. Hubs had pancakes with eggs and sausage. He said the pancakes had no flavor and I tasted them and had to agree. His eggs were fine and sausage ok. So for him it was three stars. We decided to go with 3 total stars on this one because if you're going to call yourself a breakfast place you need to nail the pancakes. Overall not bad and not great. Would give it another try if I was in the area.

Really glad the other reviewer didn't seem to have my experience here. Stopped in for gas and a…read morecoffee, ended up ordering food poisoning. I saw the grill in the back and thought, "No one can screw up a BLT, so why not?". This is me willfully ignoring the fact that, during peak COVID season, the woman making the sandwiches was incorrectly wearing her mask, fully nose-breathing on all the food she prepared. Twenty five minutes later, I opened my sandwich bag and smelled Chinese food. Specifically, the pink boneless pork strips that come with a Pu Pu Platter. Seeing as how I was now 1/7th of the way into my drive, I convinced myself that it was just the residue from a dirty grill. So, disturbing (stupid?) as it sounds, I choked down the sandwich - it was, after all, meant to be my lunch. It was the most disgusting BLT of my life, followed by a rare case of severe heartburn. You would think that said heartburn might be somewhat mitigated by the metric ton of bland bread that comprised 4/5ths of the meal, but you'd be wrong. Besides having a friend at my destination smell the empty bag (just to see his facial expression when he learned that a BLT produced that bouquet), I thought that was the end of it. I learned better, a couple hours later. If you've had food poisoning before, you know what came next, and I will spare you the grisly details. Needless to say, it was several days before I felt myself again, and the first half of my visit was a bust. The fact that my 12 oz. can of unsweetened, black coffee was $1 more than I have ever paid, anywhere else ($3.99, which I did not see until I viewed my receipt) was just another kick when I was already down. Screw this place. I liked, however, that they have a role of plastic bags by the pumps, eliminating the need to use a paper towel, when touching public surfaces. Though, all in all, I'd rather use the paper and not be poisoned.

We had teas and coffees, all very expensive and passable but not as good as other nearby options. They have dumpling bowls.. I was disappointed that they were so Americanized. No Asian options :-( The service was OK but the staff is immature. Lots of joking and giggling and not enough attention on the job at hand. The outdoor seating area is nice but needs to be cleaned.

We've been loyal customers of The Big Bean in Newmarket for a long time, but I felt it was finally…read moretime to share an honest review, because the place just isn't what it used to be. We've gone there for lunch almost every week, and lately, the experience has really declined. The staff rarely seem happy or welcoming anymore -- there's very little warmth or friendliness. Dishes are tossed into bins so loudly as if the waitstaff don't care about the guest experience! The sound is so jarring that it really takes away from enjoying the meal you work hard to pay for. Also, more than once I've overheard kitchen staff loudly telling each other grumpy things like to "shut up," which isn't exactly the vibe you want over breakfast. The only time the waitstaff really engage with a forced smile is when they drop off the check. On top of that, orders are often wrong, toast and home fries come out burnt, and the coffee on my last visit was barely lukewarm. Whatever happened to simple caring and kindness? Lately, it feels like customer experience isn't at the heart of things anymore at the Big Bean -- and when that slips, everything else eventually does too. The atmosphere has completely changed too. It used to feel fun, lively, and full of character -- now it just feels tired. The walls and beams are chipped, the floors sticky, the tables are wobbly, and the wonderful artwork of locals that gave the place charm is gone too. It's like the energy has been drained out of the building. I used to look forward to going there every week, but now it feels like we're inconveniencing the employees just by showing up. It's sad to see such a great local spot lose its spark.

The food is so consistently good, the atmosphere and staff are so fun and friendly. They are so consistently good at providing vegan and vegetarian options (something that all other restaurants make out to be a real hardship even in 2025). They are so inclusive and welcoming at all times. The only reason I don't give 5 stars is because they don't have an AC system. In the summer, I'd love to frequent them more often, but it's just too hot. I would prefer to order takeout and eat it in my home with A/C than go in and sweat while trying to enjoy a nice meal. It's unfortunate too cause I think they have such great summer-foods like wraps and salads. And their cocktails are so fresh and nice and always rotating! Please get air-conditioning!!

I ordered a hot 12oz Mocha, with a breakfast sandwich with the choice of bacon and a fluffy English Muffin.
