“Came in on a properly wet Tuesday and they let my soaked dog sit under the table by the radiator while we warmed up over a pot of jasmine tea. Nobody blinked. That's the kind of thing you remember about a place, more than the drinks, though the drinks are good too.”Priya Shah

About Lotus & Bean
Lotus & Bean is a coffee & tea shop in Cambridge. It's a small place run at a human pace: drinks made one at a time, food cooked to order, and a room set up for sitting in rather than passing through.
Regulars come for the morning coffee and stay for the tea. Neighbours, builders, parents and students all end up at the same few tables, which is roughly the point of a cafe.

What people say
Genuine reviews left on Google, quoted exactly as written.
“Good range of teas and coffee and the prices are fair for what you get. The tea actually comes in a proper pot rather than a bag dunked in hot water, which shouldn't be rare but is. Cosy inside, grab a table by the window if you can. Gets loud around lunch, which is really just a sign it's popular.”Tom Whitfield
“Our book club has met here monthly for over a year now and we've never once been made to feel like we're overstaying our welcome on a two-pot afternoon. They remember our usual orders too. Feels like a proper local rather than a chain pretending to be one.”Sasha Reyes
