Place could need some sir conditioning. As well I found it dark inside.

Hello, My daughter & I visited your coffee shop yesterday for the first time. Our idea was to support local small businesses instead of the corporate companies. We loved the place as soon as we walked in. Tracey added to our great first visit. Her personality was very warm & inviting. My daughters comment was “ That coffee shop is very aesthetically pleasing. We will be coming back for sure”. She’s 12 years old. Thank you again. Lisa Nicolucci

I work down at the school and I often come by there for an ice coffee and their Chicken Ceasar wrap is thick and fresh. Their baked goods are also incredible. I hear they're offering ice cream as well so that's my diet ruined lol. Great local business who are a staple for the teachers and day care workers in the area because sometimes that first morning coffee isn't enough so it's nice to get some java courage at noon to go and build those 22 young minds.

Chicken pita and breakfast bagels are PHENOMENAL!!

Jackie Green

This is more than just a coffee shop it is also a business centre, offering various print and design services. Tracy Segura designed a wonderful, expertly crafted logo for my new business. A truly one stop shop for the business owner! I will be back for my trade show banners and business cards.

Dorian Butler

My girlfriend and I go here quite often and the customer service is amazing. Within a couple weeks the gentleman had memorized our morning drink order and makes it amazingly and with consistency every time. The breakfast sandwiches and regular lunch menu are both phenomenal, and the Caribbean hot table is absolutely to die for, I could eat the rotis every day and never tire of them, they are so flavourful and hearty, easily the best I have ever had and I have tried every place in the Barrie area and then some. Thank you to all the staff for such a wonderful restaurant and experience, if I could offer more than five stars I would.

Alanda Theriault

My favourite cafe in the city. Staff are always friendly, warm, and personable, and their cappuccinos are absolutely divine. A welcome place to enjoy a chat with friends or a quiet place to work.

Lindsay Jowett

Every visit here is amazing! The coffee is fantastic and the baked goods are out of this world! Tracey and her mom are always so friendly and make it a point to get to know everyone who comes in.

Fantastic place. A must visit cafe!

Thomas Turnbull

Great place friendly and very ready to help. I agree also bring a laptop and drop by. :-)

Dwayne Francois

The owners are very friendly. It's a new place, so originally I gave it four stars. But now that they've establish their own flare it's clearly a 5 for me. Make our part of Barrie special. Great coffee portion for the price, nice place to meet with others for work or socials. Printing services are helpful and convenient. Professional work with a personal touch!

sharron white

Great coffee, friendly service, haven't tried any of the sandwiches or other breakfast/ lunch foods. They have a cool business centre in the back.

Alexander Seifert

From top-to-bottom, Creative Bean wow’d me. Their aesthetic and atmosphere was open, clean, and warm. Their menu was ANYTHING but limited, with common favourites for everyone - and alternative options that we were excited to try. The coffee was perfect: simple, but bold. And the deluxe breakfast bagel? A revelation. As if it were freshly pressed from your home kitchen, but with better fresher ingredients and served with a smile. And with service and care that good, I’d say they’re indisputably the best coffee shop in Barrie. Keep doing what you’re doing, guys!

Chris F

This is a hidden GEM in south east end Barrie. Co owners Rene and Tracy are a welcoming couple that strives at customer service and Satisfaction. Their business is an inviting place to bring clients and to have a business hub within the premise is convenient. They are always willing to help with anything you need or find the answers for you if they don’t have it. If you haven’t checked this place out, you should. Keep it going Rene and Tracy!!!

Paul Heffernan

Great service and an excellent place to meet up and be creative.

Gal About Town

Everything is delicious and René and Tracy are extremely welcoming. Great spot!

Scott Johnson

Great environment! Fun and laid back. The food is made fresh and delicious. The staff are cordial, friendly, and professional. Quickly becoming a staple in our Community. Skip the long line drive thrus and give your dollar to a hard-working family rather than a big business. ????

Ian M

A great family owned Café that is friendly and has lots of class. Tried it out this morning for the first time, working in Barrie from Sudbury. Had the breakfast sandwich and Cappuccino and enjoyed them. I surely will remember this divine spot next time I'm southbound. Great job!!

My husband and I stopped in recently to buy a breakfast sandwich and coffee and I can honestly say it was the tastiest breakfast sandwich I have ever had This is saying a lot since I eat them often. It was made of real bacon , egg and cheese on a cheese bagel with some ketchup and a little hot sauce since we like a little spice on our food. Sooo good! I ended up buying the hot sauce for my own kitchen and a big bag of their coffee beans so we can make our own coffee from home. I highly recommend the food here. I’ve also had the grilled bacon and cheese sandwich. The prices are very good for home made, fresh ingredients. I have ordered chicken roti for this coming Thursday since The Creative Bean is starting a Caribbean hot plate menu to compliment the menu that they already have. Since I love this type of cuisine I am looking forward to trying it!

Max Kennedy

Great staff and original drinks like the Mexician make this place rise above! Do yourself a favor and check it out.

Carolina Ng

Very nice and cozy spot. The paint classes are very good and fun.

Mike Seckler

Cute place for a quick coffee and meeting. Wasn't noisy and could have a good conversation.

Nathaniel Weller

Fantastic and personable staff. Prices are reasonable on their specialty coffees. Have you tried their butter tarts? Amazing! I also found their triple decker sandwich a welcome treat. I find the place to be relaxing and coupled with wifi, I find it productive as I find the environment conducive to getting my work done.

Chantelle Vroom

My dentist is in the same plaza as the Creative Bean - (just started using this dentist) and so one day while I was waiting for my son I popped in to see what they had. I purchased some honey, a banana smoothie and it was delicious.... owners so friendly. Today I popped in to see that they had for lunch - Chicken ROTI - homeade - so fresh so delicious... my vegetarian noodles were deliciuos. Well done - definitely see pride in their ownership. Thank you Tracy - we'll be back for lunches for sure. If you haven't been in to try their hot table or check out their coffee selections I highly recommend you do.

Cat

Big shout-out to the owners for going out of their way by adding decaf option for ubereats when I asked if they had a decaf option. I ordered delivery from here and for a second I was worried about packaging since I ordered several drinks and entrees. Everything was packed with care and it all came in one piece! I loved the triple decker, chunky monkey smoothie and grilled cheese but I think the chocolate chip cookies were the best part of the entire meal. The pun written on my coffee definitely deserves a 5 star as well ????

Nick Paiva

Super friendly service and the best coffee ☕ in town.

Rosemarie Gilby

Very friendly and helpful! Good latte...Starbucks prices

Vivien Keiling

I've been going to Creative Bean since they first opened and have found the owners to be incredibly welcoming and gracious hosts, who truly do put their customers first. Since their opening and throughout renovations, the café has always been well-kept and clean, and the obvious care and attention to detail put into the space and food is obvious and shows the love and dedication put into this local, family business. In the last couple months, many changes have been made that are just making the whole cafe shine - the addition of the Trini flavoured hot table for lunches and dinners, as well as the Kawartha Dairy ice cream has made this spot more than just a place to pickup some great coffee and a wrap, but it's now the place my kids are always asking for us to go to grab some roti, doubles, (yes, and a grilled cheese for my less-adventurous child...which he swears is the best grilled cheese EVER - his words) or an after-dinner (and sometimes before!) ice cream! Love this place and will continue to tell anyone and everyone to check them out! <3

craig maidens

Wonderful people and wonderful place great drinks and food.

Joel Hartley

Such an inviting place. The owner operators are genuine people who know customer service inside out. They remember me and my order everytime I visit and I haven't even lived in Barrie for long. The pre order by phone service is great when I'm in a hurry and I always feel welcomed here. The coffee is what you'd probably expect from a Starbucks or similar so no complaints here.

Abby N

The place has a friendly atmosphere, great food, and delicious coffee. This local family owned and operated business is a lovely café and graphics depot rolled into one. Support small businesses in your community!

Gavin Caleb

Great food, service, atmosphere, selection, prices and staff!

H B Z

Great place. Had a fresh panini and coffee - Perfect. Highly recommend

Heather L. Hanson

Owners are great, coffee is amazing

creativeresults1

Creative Bean is our favourite place ever! Forget Tim Hortons, move over Subway and McDonalds, Creative Bean has replaced them all for us! They are family owned so you are supporting people, not making a huge corporation richer. The drinks are top notch from their specialty coffees to their frappes and real fruit smoothies. They have THE best breakfast sandwiches, wraps and desserts around. In addition to all of this there is a print and design business right on site so get your business cards designed and printed, posters, brochures, you name it! We highly recommend Creative Bean - give it a try and chances are you will too!

Chris Iliffe

Great coffee, relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff.

Blake Taylor

I come to creative bean more often then I should, I think that speaks for its self, but if not, the severshere is so nice to me and all my friends, and they're very understanding. I love creative bean!

Sarah Taylor

A lovely surprise, I was nearby looking for a coffee and stumbled upon this place. The staff were so lovely and the latte was delicious, so good I brought back a coworker a couple weeks later, and I will definitely return again!

Came upon this place by happenstance. I was looking to have a sandwich and wanting a cappuccino as well. The place did not disappoint me. Excellent sandwich and the cappuccino was so smooth. I would return for another cappuccino and maybe bring work with me next time.

Had a few different choices for sandwiches. I got the tuna salad sandwich. Pretty normal - good amount of tuna, some lettuce and sliced tomato. Overall average, edible meal.The best butternut squash soup ever perfect and piping hot just the way I like it!! It's busy but u can always find a seat ....was good to catch with a friend during lunch.

Amazing friendly staff & the food is fresh, and tasty! They have daily specials that are fairly priced. Tracy, Rene & Shanti ensure the atmosphere is cozy and you're always made to feel at home. If you're in a hurry- simply call in your order ahead of time and it'll be waiting and ready to go for you! We look forward to our visits, and Creative Bean has become a daily stop for us. Very satisfying to know we're supporting local owners.

evan carter

Great place to go, get out of car and don't go the easy route with the drive thru. This place is well worth it, good prices, great friendly staff, very good coffee and food

Geoff Neagle

First visit today..friendly service and I'll be going back

Jeff Kessler

I was in just to grab a coffee. My dark roast was made fresh and tastes great. They also have a good selection of snacks.

Erin Valencourt

I recently ordered referral pads for my doctors office at Creative Bean. They turned out very professional looking. (Way better than the pads I ordered through Staples in the past!) the price was great and they were ready quickly. I would definitely recommend them for business printing needs. Also the vanilla scone is delicious!

Adrone

wow wow wow. I just had the jerk chicken roti and omg was it ever bursting with flavour! Fantastic portion size, and you can tell the wrap is freshly made in house. I HIGHLY recommend this spot

Matt Namocatcat

I was excited to learn about the addition of their hot table and even more excited to find out Roti was on the menu...the verdict...DAMN GOOD! The chicken curry exploded with flavor and the roti was moist. I also tried the noodles and pulled pork...wow! If you haven't tried their food, then you must. Kudos to Rene and Tracy for adapting to the times and making homerun additions. They are fantastic people. So what are you waiting for? Go check 'em out!
