Honestly I cant say anything good about this establishment. As much as I would like to. The food was oily, bacon burnt. I am left feeling extremely nauseous the rest of today, and getting sick.
I have been to Bean Tree on multiple occasions, I know many friends and family, who swear to never go there again. I only go there for the chat rooms for business meetings. But the staff there are always horrible. Please get a new change in staff. They always have bad attitudes, they drag your feet, forget your order, never reply to you. They make it, as if you doing them a favor by ordering. Its just, the worst service East London has to offer. The only way this business is staying alive is the fact that they are the only ones who have meeting rooms, and its affordable for the retried people.
Other than that, its pathetic. I will only be ordering cooldrinks or coffee at best there, for meetings in the future. I do not recommend this place to anyone.
Please go to windmill, Bay Collective or any other place in Spargs Mall.
Please whoever the owner is, CHANGE THE STAFF.

I specifically asked is thr hash brown breakfast had meat , and the waitress answered yes, but it had bacon in it.
Before that we waited to even get served. Waitresses not well trained and when it came to paying, the guy was even more unfriendly. Didn't even Crack a smile.
Although the location is ideal and convenient when shopping , I definitely will not be coming back here unless I'm dragged here.
Not a good experience.
Nice decor and has so much potential but the people serving u make the biggest difference and I didn't enjoy my meal at all.

Absolutely shocking service. We waited more than 15 minutes just for someone to actually come to our table to bring menus. After which we ordered 2 coffees and a muffin. It took another 15 minutes for these to arrive. The muffin must’ve been about 3 days old and just reheated, the bottom bit was so hard I couldn’t even cut through it with a knife.
Probably the worst service I’ve ever experienced. Don’t recommend this place at all.

Totally disgusted!!
I wait half an hour for an avo on toast and had to call the supervisor eventually to check up on my order. When it finally arrived the avo was warmed up with the toast🤢
When I complained about it, the waitress asked if she must go make another one. I declined and ate my breakfast because I was running late for an appointment. Bean Tree Spargs, you will not see me again!!

I've been here a few times, at different times of the day and there are a few things that are consistent:
1. You will wait a bit long for your food to arrive but,
2. When your food arrives, you'll forgive the long wait.
The Beantree is conveniently located within the Spargs Mall, the food is usually good and reasonably priced. Besides the tables and booths, there is also a docking station as well as a couple of private meeting rooms. The service staff is usually friendly (unless you find someone having a bad day) and it's obvious they are doing their best despite the time you will wait to receive your food.

Food is good. Service is really bad, we had to ask 3 - 4 times just for more sugar for our coffee. Food took really long to get to us but tasted good. Waitresses need more customer skills and training as there is no procedures in place.

Wish Beantree at Spargs could connect their TV for our (SA)Sport especially the national teams. We would like to watch cricket world cup and it's Important for our country. I'm sure you will draw more customers if you're sensitive to clients needs.

I've been here many times with my family, the waitresses seem very calm and patient when they're busy and they're really fast with service. Their food has improved so much since they've opened up this place. I definitely recommend coming here.

Love having my catch-up with friends and business meetings here. Scrumptious meals (especially their breakfast menu), decent coffee, friendly service and if you need to do a little shopping at Spargs before heading home, you can so super convenient.
