The Big Bean Opening New Location in Exeter, New Hampshire

We're so stoked about this.

Any and everyone on the Seacoast who's been to The Big Bean knows just how incredibly awesome it is.

This cafe, with existing locations in Durham and Newmarket, New Hampshire, not only offers an assortment of gourmet breakfast, lunch, and dinner options that are mouthwateringly delicious, but has everything from a full bar to seasonal outside seating, Thursday night trivia, recurring live music, and more.

According to their website, Big Bean's owners and staff pride themselves on their quality ingredients, local sources, and environmental awareness (they try to recycle and compost as much of their waste as possible).

This writer's never had a bad experience at Big Bean. After all, what's not to like?

It turns out that the general public feels the same, as it was recently announced that a third Big Bean location is opening in Exeter and setting up shop in the space once home to The Tavern at River's Edge. Big Bean's owners hope to create a new space that feels like home, and we don't doubt that they'll accomplish that.

We don't yet have an opening date at the time of this writing, but will keep you posted. In the meantime, you can visit Big Bean's two existing locations for a taste (literally) of what they have to offer.

In the meantime, here's a look at some of the other restaurants in the area that have opened over the last few years. How many have you visited?
