Hampstead NH has a New Bean in Town!!

There’s a new Bean in town… and everybody’s talking about the new Bean in town.

So I decided to go visit the new bean in town called Bean Towne.

To say it is a coffees shop like none other which Hampstead and surrounding communities has seen before is an understatement.

Admittedly, I have always considered myself a coffee snob…but truly I had no idea.

For months I’ve been reading the cute little signs on Rte. 111 with clever sayings like “Friends don’t let friends dunk” and I’d always chuckle and think there’s a coffee war going on.

I mean for years Dunkin Donuts has had a monopoly on coffee in the area. Hampstead alone has 2 Dunkin Donuts and further down on 111 in Atkinson there is another Dunkin Donuts.

Seeing the signs “Friends don’t let friends dunk” really cracked me up.

Be sure to watch the video at the end of the post...they actually did a Youtube video while waiting in a local coffee drive thru line!!!

I love it. Coffee wars! We have just a couple of Dunkin Donuts in Columbus but I love their coffee. We can buy it in the grocery stores now. I had clients who moved from the east coast tell me she was a Dunkin Donuts drinker and he liked Starbucks. We have Starbucks everywhere and some great independents, smaller local. Is Bean Towne a chain or locally owned, independent?

Yum! I love good coffee! That's one thing I do spoil myself with. I would never even think about dunking anything in a good cup of java!

I think it was or was related to a bug in AR. Bob Stuart wrote about it...

Monika I am far from being a coffee snob. Mine comes out of a jar, a little water and microwaved for about 2 minutes. I can't see paying over $3.00 for flavored hot water ........ LOL

Dec 07, 2007 06:38 AM

Oh gross George...totally gross!!!

Maureen...I was gone all day so I missed seeing Bobs post. Thanks for letting me know.

Dec 07, 2007 07:58 AM

George is just WRONG! On top of that he's a Yankee fan! LOL

Somebody teach that boy how to drink coffee!

Dec 07, 2007 08:02 AM

My mother loves instant coffee..

I got to talk to Bob today. He wondered what I saw, whether I saw it on other blogs. He left me a message that it was not the same bug... ??? the good news is it is gone and hopefully it does not come back on anybodies blog.

I enjoyed our tour and Ed the owner is a great guy. It's no wonder he is so successful.

Monika & Linda, see I am in good company because Maureen's mother likes it too, besides you guys are Red Sox fans ............... LOL

Dec 07, 2007 12:15 PM

LOL....

Wow...Maureen, I don't understand how anyone could drink it!

it was pretty strange looking and I noticed this morning when I tried to edit it nothing showed up??? I thought I'd lost the post but had copied it so I just pasted it back in...uploaded and left. Must have had something to do with with that bug.

George....Gross is all I can say. I feel bad for you and Maureen's mom LOL!

Jay yeah Ed was very nice and his coffee was excellent!

Monika -- I have been a coffee snob for many years. It all started with coffee wars in San Francisco (when I lived there). It was a war between Peet's coffee - my personal favoriate and Starbucks -- Now I am seeing Peets coffee here in the supermarkets in New Hampshire! I am soooo excited. If you don't have Peets in your area -- let me know -- you will LOVE it!

LOL...Joan what is a Foodee???

We grind our own beans very morning as well but have never tried a French press.

Joan W....I've never heard of Peets but I'll keep my eyes open for it. Nothing wrong with being a coffee snob at all. :)
