☕️ The Salty Bean 🧁

The Salty Bean

Over the weekend, despite the cold weather we couldn’t resist the sunshine. So we rolled the pram down Marine drive and found ourselves lured into The Salty Bean. We enjoyed a cappuccino and a flapjack. I’m not a coffee expert, but when I’m drinking good coffee, I just know it. It was fantastic, clearly made by people who love coffee, not just the idea of it. The atmosphere was great, the staff were all very friendly making us feel most welcome and its a dog friendly place too. Swing by this place when you’re next in Morecambe, you won’t be disappointed. We’re already planning to head back for a cooked breakfast soon!
