I recently went into green bean to purchase a bag of beans. And when i asked the young coloured guy the 2 basis questions (which is ur freshest beans?) (And which of the 3 blends is the most popular?) i was met with a very disinterested attitude. He gave the most disinterested answer (They all popular). Which in my experience working with coffee and a couple coffee companies there is always 1 blend that sells more. So will never buy from green bean again. Service was highly lacking. And the coffee did not meet my standards either, lacked the most basic of elements the creme. I have used store bought beans which had 3 times more creme and double the flavour.
Great place...love the old school vibe turntable playing some tunes....Bluffbrew rules!!!
Great selection of coffee, roasted on site. Take away your own ground coffee selection for home consumption
Great coffee and friendly staff and good spit to meet other coffee lovers
Generally good service but no sit ins have been allowed during Lockdown. Excellent coffee, for coffee lovers.
My Fav Coffee place in Durbzzz :-)
Best coffee in the world, fantastic (air-conditioned) coffee shop!Im down rating to 4-stars though, because you can never pay for anything (and I mean the last two times Ive been in 2020) - no Zapper, no Cards, never have change! Crazy.Owners, please speak to your staff if you think Im wrong about the paying.
The best cappuccino in town!
Hands down, best coffee in Durban. This is one of Durbans hidden gems! Its a small venue with a cozy, friendly atmosphere. If you are passionate about coffee, The Bean Green will become your new home. Freshly home-baked sweet and savory food on offer, but sometimes, there is no food available if limited options sell out. Awesome staff always serve with a smile!
Great coffee, more of a dark roast, if you enjoy that. Few light snack options available. There is relatively fast Internet available too. A great touch is that they only play music from a record player, hard to find these days!
Customer service is the only thing to be worked on, especially the guy needs some training on how to treat all customers the same way as well as not lash out on his co-workers in front of us cuctomers sitting there. Other than that, their coffee is one of the best in town...if not in the country, and the setup and the environment...very homely. I love it, and will definitely continue to go there for as long as I’m in town!!!
Excellent coffee
Best coffee in Durban, hands down! Awesome group of baristas manning the machine, and an interesting and diverse crowd of patrons (wouldnt expect much else from a Glenwood coffee shop!). I regularly stop off for a cappuccino on my way to work, and also purchase almost of all the coffee (whole beans and pre-ground) I consume at home from them.
Great venue and vibe. Limited menu.
Great place to drink coffee
Highly recommend for the variety of coffee beans and hometoasted coffee. Snall selection of vegan and vegetarian foods. Staff need a little training on the different vegetable sandwiches. They did not know the difference between zucchini and aubergines.
Bluff Bru is still my go to coffee every morming, just so delicious and smooth. Living in CT meant I would have my family send down beans regularly.
One of the few great spaces to get some work done, while enjoying some of the best coffee blends in the country. Cozy and relaxed atmosphere, nice music coming from the record player and friendly staff. Really love this place.The fact that they dont have a card machine is a bit of an inconvenience.
One of the best coffee places in South Africa for sure.
Situated at the beginning Helen Joseph/Davenport Rd restaurant and night club section it offers great coffee with has an interesting vibe. Opens early and stays open till late afternoon. Make sure when you go that you have cash on you as they do not accept cards
Awesome spot love the music on LPs very reasonably priced
The stuff is really amazing
Love this places setup! the vintage record player was a delight! Sadly no mocha chino or hot chocolate was available when I was there so opted for a cappuccino instead and I wasnt really disappointed!
This little shop puts out some of the best coffee around, I highly recommend it! If you looking for a great cup of Ethiopian coffee they will no doubt deliver and there are usually some tasty snacks on hand. They have their priorities straight, putting out the best espresso shots and the store has a relaxed atmosphere, youll feel right at home. Take home a bag of Bluff Bru, you wont regret it!
Cozy shop with some of the best Coffees around. Exceptionally flavorful. A must visit for anyone who enjoys coffee.
Excellent coffee. Buy it by the kilo and brew it at home. Ethiopian coffee at its best. Roasted and ground on the premises. 5 star
Fantastic coffee. Great atmosphere and setup. Great place to get work done.
Definitely my coffee stop staple. Great little oasis of calm in the hustle and bustle of Glenwood, the staff feel like family, the coffee is great, and you can tell they do all this with passion. As a barista myself I love it.
Cozy spot with amazing coffee and yummy bites.
A lovely little place with great Ethiopian coffee roasted on premises at the coffee shop. A bit small and usually quite busy but they do takeaways so it is well worth it.
Excellent blends of freshly roasted and ground beans. Exceptional taste... A worthwhile visit for the coffee connoisseur!
Amazing coffee, cool vibe in the shop. Go buy a bag of their Bluff Bru its one of the best.
Love this spot. Great coffee and carrot cake. Very glad they added Zapper as a payment option.
They didnt have some of the items on their menu plus there was no white sugar to take with the coffee. I also cleared my own table after the guy that works there walked past my table several times.
Milk was too hot, ruined the coffee. Lukewarm service. Go to skyline or continental for a good cup. Or even Mugg and bean 😜
Lovely coffee. Cool place. Note they only take cash or Zapper.
Bean Green is a truly amazing experience, it provides you with a space to truly free your mind. When you arrive there ask for Rory he is an amazing Barista and knows how to make the perfect cup of coffee along with a sandwich better than your mom used to. Dont forget the free wifi at this amazing spot, just making freeing your mind that much easier. Great value for your coin.
Coffee is one of the most delicious I have had in Durban..... Freshly ground and brewed, this is now my favorite place to get my caffeine fix....
One of my favourite places to go and relax and enjoy great soft back in the day music while I sip on a perfect coffee
Good coffee. Not many food options to speak of but a good space to chat over coffee or do some work. Wi-Fi is good.
They have the best coffee grounds to purchase from! I recommend the African espress-oh! They will grind coffee fresh for you and for a decent price. What needs to be improved is their customer service as their staff seem very unresponsive and unhappy and make it seem like you inconvenienced them when you want to order something.
Great coffee. Great ambience. Great location. You can buy ground coffee too
This place is awesome.no fuss, excellent coffee, prices frozen in time. Sometimes the front of house can be grumpy. Try the coffee milkshake
Best coffee in Durban. Friendly. A great coffee shop
They play vinyl thats all you need to know. Oh and the coffee is great.
Certainly one of the best coffees in Durban. Also helps that they roast their own beans.
It is a great shop, the smoke from the espresso filled the room and it took time to adjust to it, but all in all its great and their coffee is good.
Best fresh ground coffee in Durban. Been a loyal customer for years
Awesome little place. Good coffee. Nice and quiet
Especially the iced coffee. Smooth. Not too sweet. Yum.
A great example of Durbans excellent speciality coffee culture. Good coffee, good music andgood vibes.

Being 68 and out of hospital for a a Cardiac procedure, I am a little dithery I went there to purchase baking goods, then remembered I wasnt carrying enough to pay for the extras in my basket I parked it, grabbed my delivery tray (I bake for a local store) as I walked through The Pnp exit area I realized something had jammed in the handle of my tray Being Latish to get my Granddaughters I saw it the small pk of B Powder Id put in my basket I took it off and placed it in the trolley bay A security guy came after me, wouldnt accept my explanation, and insisted I one with him He actually blocked my path My embarrassment was more than I can describe I followed him to the management office where they discussed whether to arrest me but then said I was too old Management is in a public space and Im a regular at the shop I had never been so humiliated After writing a (prevention) they let me go My daughter was Furious and told them The stress of that day has given me a phobia of the shop I shop more elsewhere now Pity I liked pnp
Excellent coffee. Friendly service and a great place to chill
Great (old vinyl) vibe, great coffee to drink in, or take home by the freshly roasted and ground bag.
Flat out the best place to have a coffee or buy beans in durban
Crazy cool coffee shop. Amazing brews and blends. Excellent Baristas (RoryRose!), most bang for your buck.
Amazing feeling when you walk in, great vibes and coffee
Always a lovely place to visit. Take away, sit in, and beans/grounds sold here
Great coffee and beans at reasonable rates
Durban has been late in joining the specialty coffee scene but the catch up was fast. This place is cosy, always good music and friendly baristas. The coffee overall is great, baristas well trained and consistent. The clincher is the ambiance, laid back music that is not excessively loud and wifi that allows good productivity. This is one of Durbans best.
My every morning pit stop.... friendly staff😊. Must add how delicious the biscuits are
Great coffee, relaxed atmosphere and great service
Excellent freshly roasted coffee in great ambiance
Very good cappuccino and the mood is so informal and relaxed, ideal for a Saturday morning..
Delicious choccocino and carrot cake.
Its a cute little place, great coffee, lovely service
