Here we go (yes, we are still here)- ready for customers at our first coffee event of 2017. Nice weather for the Vectis Rugby Tournament on Sunday, lots of flat white action at our end. Well done, team(s).

New Barista Aprons

Well, it's the beginning of April and just about time to emerge from our winter hibernation.
The Liberty / Sailcloth bags have been selling really well, along with plenty of Lavender Bags, which will make an appearance one day in the online shop.
Also, we have been working on a new project for some friends over at Island Roasted, who asked if we would like to make some aprons for the hard-working, great-coffee-producing staff in Cafe Isola, here on the Island, in Newport. 
Great, we thought; an ideal opportunity to combine our love of all-things-coffee with our love of making things. So, here we are - the first glimpse of the Dr Bean Apron. More colours to follow.

Garlic Festival 2015

We made a return to the Garlic Festival this weekend, having been absent for a couple of years. We're pleased to report that it seems as busy as ever. Fortunately, we missed the torrential rain of Thursday and Friday and the weather was just right; not too hot, a bit breezy and perfect for coffee sales, with Iced Coffees on Sunday.
We were next door to the delightful St. Valentines Licorice stand, which is always really popular. 

Next stop Bestival!

Open Farm Sunday

Dr Bean will be at the Living Larder Farm, Apse Heath, this Sunday 7th June. It's all happening. A top Island chef, Robert Thompson, none-the-less, will be there, hosting a pop up kitchen using farm produce. We will be serving the usual finest 'Island Roasted' Coffee, plus teas.
If you are interested in attending (the weather looks fine), email aimee@livinglarder.co.uk.

Dr Bean arrives in Cowes

We've been rather busy on the coffee front recently. We attended the lovely Old Gaffers Festival, in Yarmouth, which was as popular as always - plenty of coffee and a large amount of afternoon tea, served up in style by Doug.
The other news is that we now have a permanent home in Cowes - situated within the PHG store at the bottom of Market Hill. This is going really well and we are settling in to the unusual arrangement of making coffee indoors. Another plus is that we are using the locally produced 'Island Roasted' Coffee - thanks Dan!

Dawn, the owner of the aforementioned PHG also sells Dr Bean's Bags, so for the first time ever, the two sides of the business are seen together!
