Discover the Charm of The Well Bean Café - Where Coffee, Conversations, and Community Flourish - A Pay-What-You-Can Community Gathering Spot

The Harpenden Trust is delighted to announce the official opening of The Well Bean Community Café, a vibrant community hub dedicated to fostering connection, conversation, and a shared love of a mid-morning cup of tea or coffee. 

Following a successful soft launch during June, the Well Bean Café is now ready to welcome patrons every weekday, creating a warm welcoming environment. Located at the Harpenden Trust’s new premises, directly above the Co-op on Southdown Road, the Well Bean Café aims to create a space where everyone feels at home. 

Whether you are seeking a peaceful moment alone or looking to engage in friendly conversation, our doors are open to all. From 10.30am to 12.30pm, every weekday, visitors can drop by and experience the warmth and comfort that our Café offers. We encourage our patrons to take a moment, relax, and connect with others. Our Well Bean Community Café volunteers are here to chat, share stories, and make you feel like part of our extended family. 

At other times of the day, the Well Bean Café will also act as a focal point for various Harpenden Trust Wellbeing initiatives, including the recently formed Ribbon Cancer Support Group and the Frazzled Café, amongst others. 

The Well Bean Café operates on a simple model that relies on the generosity of our patrons. Rather than setting fixed prices, we simply ask for donations based on what individuals can afford to contribute towards the cost of their snack. This approach ensures that our Café will remain inclusive and accessible to all members of our local community, regardless of financial circumstances. 

Whether you are seeking solace, companionship, or simply a great cup of coffee, the Well Bean Café invites you to join us. We are grateful for the support we have received thus far and look forward to serving and welcoming our friends and neighbours for months and years to come.
