Relaxed, friendly, community coffee shop

Great coffee on your

doorstep

Bean Central is an independent, coffee shop in

St Albans, located on a small strip of shops in Central Drive which serve the local community, residential streets and schools.

We serve our own blend, great quality coffee which we have selected ourselves, it's then roasted locally so that we can offer it to you as fresh as it gets!

We also sell locally produced, homemade cakes, pastries, paninis, tea and our own premium hot chocolate. We have some inside seating and if the weather's good, we even have outside tables and chairs.

Our fresh coffee beans are also for sale in store, so if you like the coffee, you can buy it!

Whether it's a stop off place after a walk, run or cycle, a leisurely bite to eat inside or simply a coffee at your desk at home - give bean CENTRAL a go!

Please support your local, independent coffee shop rather than a large chain and pop by for some freshly ground coffee, homemade bites, and a friendly welcome.

Fairtrade

care.

Over the past ten or so years there has been a rise in the number of speciality coffee roasters, who make it their business to ensure that their beans are ethically sourced.

At bean CENTRAL we ensure that our speciality coffee beans have been subjected to the same standards and that we are doing our bit to ensure that from the very beginning growing stages to the very end product that the hightest standards have been met.
