Who we are…

At Beans, Binders & Bears, our purpose is to create a welcoming and vibrant space where community, culture, and comfort come together. We exist to address the growing need for genuine connection in our local area, providing a place where people can gather, relax, and engage with both literature and each other. Our aim is to foster a sense of belonging and wellbeing, offering more than just product; we offer experiences that enrich daily life.

We are motivated by a desire to blend the warmth of a cafe with the enrichment of a bookstore, believing that both coffee and books have the power to bring people together. By supporting local engagement through events and lending services, we strive to strengthen the fabric of our community. Our business is driven by a commitment to making a positive impact on the lives of our customers, not just through what we sell, but through the environment and opportunities we create.

Our Values

Community

Our company wouldn’t exist without our community behind us. We strive to create an environment that not only advocates for our local community but helps to build it up.

If you are looking for a home away from home, or perhaps just to be a part of something bigger for a while. Our doors are always open!

Comfort

We aim to make every experience you have with us one of happiness and comfort, whether that’s enjoying the simple pleasures of a good cup of coffee and cozy book, or joining some of our events.

If you ever want to take that feeling home with you, contact us about our “Adopt a Bear” programme.

Compassion

No matter your troubles you will always find a friendly face and safe place with us, whilst you escape into a good brew.

We’re not just here for the bad times though! We always look for a good excuse to celebrate whether it’s big or small.
