Welcome to Magic Beans Cafe, a delightful haven tucked away on Whelford Rd in Fairford, United Kingdom. This charming cafe has quickly become a beloved spot for locals and visitors alike, offering a unique combination of homemade food and a welcoming atmosphere. Whether you’re seeking a lovely breakfast to kickstart your day or a cozy place to unwind with friends, Magic Beans Cafe is the perfect destination.

As you step inside, you’re greeted by friendly staff who are eager to make your experience memorable. Many patrons have remarked on the warm welcome they received, setting the tone for a pleasant dining experience. In the words of customer Rick, "A warm welcome from friendly staff" truly encapsulates the essence of this cafe.

The menu boasts an array of delicious offerings, with highlights including homemade burgers and a selection of hearty breakfast options. For instance, a recent visit led one satisfied customer, Stu Sharmlover, to rave about the "absolutely loved" homemade burger and delightful salad. Descriptions of the food consistently include words like "tasty" and "great," demonstrating the cafe's commitment to using high-quality ingredients.

However, some reviews have pointed out areas for improvement. Rick mentioned that while the food quality is high, the portion sizes could be more generous, specifically noting that a single rasher of bacon feels a bit too sparse for a breakfast experience. The cafe's decor, though clean and fresh, has been characterized by some as slightly lacking in warmth, giving it a 'nursery-like' feel. Still, the inviting atmosphere of Magic Beans Cafe can easily be enhanced with the casual chatter of families enjoying their meals.

An area particularly cherished by families is the children’s playroom, described by Sam “The Spider Chef” Vincent as "super happy and occupied," making it an ideal spot for parents looking to have a relaxing meal while their children play. The inclusion of sensory activities alongside traditional toys promises a magical experience for little ones. Indeed, as noted by Rosie Ray, the cafe is evolving and will feature a large outdoor space by summer, enhancing the experience for all.

Perfect for family outings, everything from breakfast to lunch is made with love and care at Magic Beans Cafe. David Hilliard attests to the peaceful ambiance and great views, making it easy for families to enjoy their meals together. As Helen Cheese-Probert emphasized, "this place deserves to get a better listing on Google," recognizing the hidden gem qualities of this establishment.

With its delightful menu, beautiful surroundings, and generous hospitality, Magic Beans Cafe promises a spellbinding experience for all ages. If you’re in Fairford and searching for a place that's both charming and comforting, make sure to drop by. The coffee is delicious, and each bite offers a taste of homemade love.

A warm welcome from friendly staff. We had a lovely breakfast that was nicely cooked and continued high quality ingredients. Why not five stars? Two things. 1. The portions were small. A single rasher of bacon? Really? It's not a cheap breakfast, two rashers a few more mushrooms would be right. 2. Decor. It's clean and fresh but a little soulless. It felt a bit like a nursery. Plastic table cloths and basically plain walls and an open and empty feel. It needs some textiles, some plants, some warmth and personality. We'll visit again. It was one of the better breakfasts in the area. But with a few little tweaks it could be perfect.

Fantastic Cathy that is not well signposted due to planning regulations but offers excellent home-made food at sensible prices. As of October 2024, it was open 930 to 3 Monday to Friday and until 330 at weekends. This place deserves to get a better listing on Google as it is worth a visit. It’s also worth mentioning. It’s the only café around

Went for a kid's birthday party. Lovely location, ample parking, great food and the indoor play area had so many little bits that kept my son super happy and occupied. Look forward to seeing how the business will get better in the future, and bringing my dog with me next time!

A new cafe - with a difference.. The children's playroom includes a sensory area as well as the usual toys and activities. It's still a 'work in progress' but, by summer, will have a large outdoor space too. The coffee is delicious and food ranges from meals to snacks. Recommended for everyone.
