Naughty Bean Coffee is a cafe at 65 Wharf Rd, Coromandel, Thames-Coromandel, holding a 5.0 rating from 120 reviews. Customers describe a small espresso-only stand with no food, coffee roasted right on site, picnic tables outside, and consistently friendly service from the owner and baristas, with the flat white a standout order.
A small espresso-only stand works best when you know that going in, so it's worth planning to bring your own snack or checking what's nearby, like a bakery, if food is part of the plan rather than assuming a full cafe menu. Watching coffee roasted on site is also a good sign of freshness, since beans roasted just before serving tend to have more character than pre-roasted stock sitting on a shelf. Picnic tables outside make it an easy stop to sit and enjoy a coffee slowly rather than rushing off with a takeaway cup.
For those in Coromandel after a proper coffee, Naughty Bean Coffee is well worth the stop.
