BEAN THERE COFFEE SHOP LTD

What BEAN THERE COFFEE SHOP LTD does

Bean There Coffee Shop Ltd is an independent, founder-operated specialty coffee shop based in South Liverpool, United Kingdom, founded in 2017. The company operates two physical retail locations: the original Bean There Coffee Shop & Kitchen at 376 Smithdown Road (Penny Lane), serving breakfast, brunch, and lunch menus alongside specialty coffee, and the newer Bean There Coffee Shop & Bakery at 62 Rose Lane, opened in 2024, which extends the offering with in-house artisan sourdough, breads, viennoiserie, pastries, and cakes. Both sites trade on a walk-in basis with no disclosed online ordering, delivery, catering, or app infrastructure.

The menu is priced in pounds sterling, with full breakfast items at £13–£14, toasted sandwiches at £5.90–£11.90, coffee drinks at £3.30–£4.80, and bakery snacks at £3–£7. The business runs on a pure one-time-transaction revenue model with no subscription, loyalty, or recurring component identified. Marketing is limited to organic Instagram (@beantherecoffeeshop) and a newsletter signup, and there is no disclosed proprietary technology, digital platform, or AI/ML capability.

The company is privately held with no institutional investors, no funding rounds, no parent company, and no disclosed management team beyond the founders. Headcount stands at approximately 5 employees across both sites, consistent with a small, bootstrapped, owner-operated hospitality business. Its customer base is the local South Liverpool community, and the value proposition centers on independent status, freshly prepared food, premium ingredients, and an in-house bakery capability that differentiates it from chain coffee competitors in the area.

Direct peers

• Notes Coffee: UK independent specialty coffee chain founded in Liverpool with multiple sites. Closely comparable specialty coffee and brunch offering, with proven multi-site independent playbook similar to Bean There's trajectory.
• Press Coffee: Independent Liverpool specialty coffee shop and roaster. Competes for the same third-wave coffee drinker in Liverpool with a similar focus on single-origin coffee and brunch/food pairings.
• 92 Degrees Coffee: Liverpool independent coffee roaster and cafe operator. Direct peer in both specialty coffee sourcing and cafe operations, competing for the same Liverpool resident and visitor audience.
• Lovelock's Coffee: Independent specialty coffee shop in Liverpool with a strong cafe and brunch proposition. Closely comparable product mix (specialty coffee + brunch) and target customer in the same city.
• Neighbourhood Coffee: Liverpool-based independent specialty coffee operator with multiple sites. Direct head-to-head competitor for the same South Liverpool / citywide specialty coffee customer, with similar third-wave positioning and brunch-led menus.

Broad incumbents

• Caffè Nero: UK high-street coffee chain and broad incumbent in the cafe segment. Competes for the same daily coffee occasion in Liverpool with a wider, mass-market value proposition rather than a specialty niche.
• Pret a Manger: UK high-street sandwich and coffee chain with broad menu. Overlaps with Bean There on the breakfast/brunch/lunch occasion and takeaway coffee, though operates at significantly larger scale.
• Costa Coffee: UK's largest coffee chain and a broad incumbent. Sets the mainstream coffee benchmark Bean There prices against; competes for the same office and weekend leisure footfall across South Liverpool.

Emerging players

• Harris + Hoole: UK specialty coffee chain with cafe sites in high-street locations. Comparable on specialty coffee positioning and food-led cafe format, though operates at larger scale and broader geographic footprint.

Regional players

• LEAF: Liverpool-based independent cafe and bar group with multiple city locations. Comparable indie cafe operator in the same city, though with a broader bar/food menu and later-day positioning.
