I live just outside of New York, but I can honestly say it's some of the best home style food I've had in a very long time!

My pet peeve has to be missing the last breakfast order on a Sunday. Which is almost inevitable…read morewhen you're in a different city attempting to discover somewhere new. Cue the Bean Caffe. Located in Friar Gate Studios, Derby. It's a near miss - in fact, we drove past it twice before we had the 'AHA - IT'S THERE' moment! *Caps necessary as if I remember rightly, I let out a rather loud squeal upon our discovery... Aside from it's high-rankings, awards and even décor - What I loved most about the Bean Caffe is the fact it's owned and managed by mother and daughter - Sarah and Liv. They have perfected the art of ALL things breakfast (or brunch in my case) and offer a range of favourites from Eggs Benedict to Toasted Banana Sandwiches. I opted for the 'Smashed Avocado': Toasted Sourdough topped with avocado, poached eggs and a shake of hot Sriracha Sauce. SO delicious and for just £5.50 an absolute bargain.

Even though…read moreit's not in the middle of the Westfield centre with all the other eateries, it's still a popular place and it can be hard to get a table at lunchtime. They have an excellent variety of drinks to choose from - everything from a simple cup of tea to a macchiato with whipped cream. They also have a wide variety of milkshakes for the kids (or the big kids!) and the prices aren't bad either, well below what you'd pay in one of the big coffee chains.

Unfortunately I was sorely disappointed, the waitress was nice enough but generally the service could not have been slower or less attentive. The menu said that their half boards would be suitable for 2 or a full board for 2-3 hungry people. We were 5 adults and two children so we ordered 1 full and 3 half plates all different, and 4 portions of chips. Having waited and waited the food finally arrived and left me wondering where the rest of it was. Then there was another wait for ketchup and more butter. The whole Riverbank Board at £20 might just have served 2 as a snack, the chips were beautifully presented but stingy to say the least. Having rapidly ran out of bread we asked for more and waited another 20 mins. The tiny portions were comprised of lovely ingredients and the bread was superb but neither could compensate the size vs price or the shockingly slow service. It was not that busy with diners, we were foolish to be there on a match day but they were mainly drinking, so I cannot understand why assembly job plates of meat and fish took so long. I had to leave for another engagement and the slowness meant I did not get pudding or coffee - it really really spoilt it. I didn't get to see the final bill either but I can only imagine it was eye watering. Such a shame. If you're planning on going, leave lots of time, take your credit card, skip match days, leave the tapas and head for the restaurant. Good job the company was marvelous!
