The Magic Bean Emporium in Northampton

Great themed cafe, but the coffee was so poor I couldn't finish it! Very weak and overpriced for the quality.

Ordered a flat white, see picture, and a vanilla lattė which had no vanilla.

Visited this unique and charming little coffee shop on the ground floor under the stairs at Northampton Railway Station today. The staff are lovely and the coffee was fantastic, highly recommended !

I don’t know whether this place is still open. It is a hidden gem of Northampton. Step into a world of fantasy. It’s so cozy and the detail inside is absolutely delightful. Friendly staff. The food is beautiful. Love how the food was decorated and displayed. I bought cappuccino and had a mozzarella pesto sandwich, it came with salad and crisps. Good portions, very filling. The sandwich displayed in a basket like in red riding hood and an apple. The cafe interior is like escaping into one of Harry Potter books. Floating candles, jack and the beanstalk, Cinderella's shoe, careful you might end up in my novel sign. The atmosphere is very relaxing. Good value for money. I will definitely be coming here again. And there's parking outside. Don't forget to buy a ticket. I always find eating in a big city, can be intimidating and deciding where to go hard. If you love reading, this place is a great place to go and you'll fit in. It's retro and cool. Everyone please make sure you give the Magic Bean Emporium a chance. For someone like me who lives outside Northampton, this place is a real asset to Northampton. Keep up the great work!

This coffee shop is downstairs at Northampton railway station (AKA Castle station). It was previously located on St Giles Street. At time of my visit it had only just opened in its new location, so expect things to get even better. The coffee is fantastic, and I suspect all the other drinks are too.

Harry potter themed cafe. Lots of varied hot and cold drinks such as milkshakes and coffees. They had some nice seasonal options such as pumpkin spice and creme brulee. A bit overpriced for what it is, but still a cute spot for coffee.

A lot of focus has gone into the theme, vibes, etc etc. The food and drink, however, are average and very pricey for the quality. They also run out of them pretty quickly and the variety isn’t that great either - which would have been fine if the quality was better.Moreover, our takeaway sandwich had a hair in it.A pretty average experience. Nothing bad, but disappointing given the hype.

A cute little place in desperate need of more customers! It has a great fantasy/Harry Potter theme for fans of the series.Great to see a selection of vegan food available. We had a pistachio, chive, and rosewater cake and a vegan 'sausage' roll. Would love to see more of these!Soya milk was available for coffees which was good to see as well. Not sure if extra was charged - hopefully not.

An absolutely little gem in Northampton. This place has so much character its a warm friendly environment and children are welcome definitely me and my daughters new favorite place

Lovely little Harry Potter themed cafe with great milkshakes and variety of cakes. Has a small choice of toasties. If you fancy a nice lunch filled with sweetness and great atmosphere, this is the place to go 🙂
