"From the moment we walked in, we were not greeted or acknowledged, even though I had made a reservation for a table. Eventually, we were seated and ignored until I had to ask for a menu. We ordered food and drinks, but there was a long wait for our drinks to arrive and even longer for our food. The first burger looked good but was missing the fries, which came later. The burger was called the "Big Mic" and was described as a double patty burger. However, to our surprise, it was just a single patty cut in half and placed in the bun. When we questioned this, the waitress became defensive and called the manager over. The manager tried to justify the single patty and offered to refund one burger, which was not acceptable as we had ordered two. We were then given the option to only pay for our drinks or return the food, but we decided to eat what we had since we had already waited so long. When we tried to use a discount card we had, we were told it wasn't valid because it didn't include alcohol, even though it clearly stated 25% off the total bill. The waitress's attitude was unacceptable and rude throughout the entire ordeal. The manager eventually agreed to adjust the bill according to the discount offer, and we paid and left. The waitress continued to be rude and even swore at my partner as we were leaving. Overall, the service was poor, and we would not recommend this restaurant to anyone."

We were not greeted upon arrival despite having a reservation, so we eventually seated ourselves. After being ignored at the table, we had to ask for a menu. Our food and drinks took a long time to arrive, with the first burger looking good but the second burger missing its side of fries initially. The burger we ordered, The Big Mic, was supposed to be a double patty burger but instead, they tried to pass off a single patty broken in half. When we raised this issue with the waitress, she became defensive and brought the Manager over who argued that halving a patty was correct for The Big Mic. Despite pointing out the menu description of 2 patties, the Manager only offered to refund one burge...

"I hadn't been here since my mother brought me as a teenager in 1965, when it was the Chalet Suisse. We were welcomed by a waitress seeing us coming and opening the door for us, ushered to a table by the window. We both had a fish dish, myself a crab-stuffed fillet of plaice, my wife a seabass paella with mussels. My plaice was succulently fresh, with a subtly spiced filling and sauce, The new potatoes were perfect. My wife is from a fishing family in Brittany so really knows her fish, and her saffron paella met with unconditional approval. The buckshee bread chunks in a basket already on the table were left, so I could enjoy mopping up the last of the lovely flavour of the juice. After polishing off the little extra pot of sweet potato fries, for dessert we had a special, Eton Mess, and banana cream profiteroles, which we swapped half way through, just gorgeous, and a filter coffee to finish off. With a couple of beers all for a fraction over £50 this was extraordinary value. This was no ordinary pub-chain grub. Every dish had something unusual and special to commend it, whether the spicy crab or the tart passionfruit syrup setting off the usually overwhelmingly sweet Eton Mess. This was proper cooking by someone who really knows their stuff, nicely presented but without fuss. Our fellow diners were all friendly and accomodating in a fairly small space, some engaging in jolly conversation with us. The service was attentive, kind. and unobtrusive. There was music but not overly loud and the atmosphere was relaxed and unhurried. I've heard this place mentioned by others before over the years and very much wish we'd made the effort to visit before now, our wedding anniversary. We will go again for sure, and take others with us too!"

"This is a small, very nice, non-chain coffee shop selling tea, coffee, some savoury sandwiches plus snacks and cakes. (Not to be confused with 'Smoothbean ' which is also in Croydon and also very good, but the two have no connection.)What 's good about it? It 's non-chain, so you 're actually dealing with nice people offering good service, not just wage slaves at the front end of a vast, impersonal corporation. The quality of the tea and coffee is as good as anywhere else. The service is warm, human, friendly and personal. The staff are efficient and helpul but also pleasantly informal. They don 't have a very wide selection of things to eat. However, what they DO have is all very nice and good value, whether you want savoury and healthy or sweet and indulgent. I loved the little 'bakesmiths ' cakes they sell that say 'made by hand in small batches ' on the label. What 's maybe not so good? Well, it 's not in what you 'd call a great location. Plus it 's really small. Upstairs (at street level) there are just two small tables and space for maybe five or six people at most (assuming some don 't mind sitting at the window). Downstairs, there are a chairs and sofas providing room for about eight people, although it 's a bit cramped.All in all, the think to love about Crushed Bean is the tone, the atmosphere, the fact that it 's small, friendly and informal and run by human beings rather than branded corporate drones intent on hitting targets. Go there at a not-too-busy time and you can enjoy a little bit of peace and quiet and know that you 're choosing to support a small, independent coffee shop and not one of the behemoth chains. Bonus good point #1: if you ask for your milk on the side, it comes in a miniature milk bottle. This cute touch should be standard practice but isn 't.Bonus good point #2: They offered me a free tea refill. Nowhere else that I 've been to does this.Bonus good point #3: They are right opposite Cake Box, a wonderful emporium of gloriously unhealthy options."
