Jolly Bean Cafe — Restaurant in Plymouth

We had a really good time because we were celebrating a momentous occasion:. We met relatives we never knew existed until my son and husband did the DNA thing. We met at The Jolly Bean Cafe because, it turns out-- my son's newly discovered cousin, Amanda, is the proprietor. But that didn't keep me from being objective. I have an Associate's degree in Food Service Administration and Master's in education, so I'm experienced in evaluation. The cafe has a welcoming ambiance...a food version of Cheers with a nautical theme and I could tell there were loyal locals just by the familiar banter. The baristas were cordial, efficient and personable. So were the servers, as well as the owner:. A place where everybody knows your name. There was a constant flow of customers for coffee, take-out food orders, as well as dining in. We were there on Saturday morning around ten and only breakfast is served. The menu has a diverse collection, but we focused on the breakfast wrap/burritos and sandwiches. The bacon was impressive--crispy, crunchy, thick, and generous Apple wood--and had a distinctive delectable flavor. The toasted bread had the qualities of freshly baked rather than bagged. The server was attentive but not intrusive. She kept the beverages flowing. There is parking along the side and front of the restaurant, with additional parking in an adjacent lot. The guests were a combination of demographics: families, singles, elderly with walkers, and a service dog who was impervious to the movement and luscious aromas surrounding him as he patiently waited under the table. I doubt customers even knew he was there. Prices were reasonable, with an average breakfast platter under $10.00. The room was clean, bright, and fresh, in an L shape. When we first arrived, a child's birthday party in a decorative alcove was just concluding. They were celebrating, jovial, and well behaved--just...

Went here for my first time, bought a soda and 2 sandwiches. After opening my soda I noticed it was completely flat. I checked the date and it was also expired. I received a refund for this and got another soda for free. I could hear an employee loudly announce that they “probably weren’t stocking stuff right” as someone proceeded to stock more drinks and push the expired ones back. The next soda I got was not expired but was flat. After this the name for my order was called, I grabbed it and did the dash to get out of this place. Got home to realize they had given me the complete wrong order. I ordered a steak and cheese, and a grilled cheese but received a BLT and chicken wrap. When we went back for a complete refund we showed a woman who we had not seen when we were there before. When my boyfriend explained the issue and showed that we had a receipt with his name and our order on it the woman said “Well, yeah this says boyfriends name and your name is Brian” and pointed at my boyfriend. He then explained that no he was not Brian and we would like a full refund which was given. Then woman then proceeded to go out back and loudly exclaim that it was her fault and she had messed up the orders. Overall for a first time experience definitely not good and very off putting. Hope Brian got his food.

Edit: this review is from 6 months ago but I recently came to realize it wasn’t made public til now. Truth still stand. Weird experience. Hopefully things are...

The drinks are worth 10 stars on a 5 star scale. They're so good my cheap self didn't mind paying $7 for a Chai because it was absolutely WORTH IT, I would've paid more. They're so good my lazy self drove 20 minutes out of the way to stop here again the next day for another one. I was so excited for another dose of this ambrosia from the cape gods... right up until the moment I nearly faceplanted into the locked door. There was no note on the door indicating they were closed for the day (it IS the day before Easter, maybe they care?) or moment, but we decided to wait a few minutes just in case. We saw 5 people in as many minutes try the door only to face the same disappointment. It was 11 AM and the sign says they're open until 2. Now we're all driving around mourning the loss and filling the void with some generic drive through. I hope everything's okay and it's just a...
