We first had coffee here while visiting Nelson two years ago, so happy to see that other than the location, nothing has changed since then! The best Mocha I have ever had! Will definitely visit again before we leave Nelson.

Don't be thrown off by the humble coffee-truck appearance - this is the real deal. I have been going to Oso Negro in Nelson for as long as it has existed, but I recently discovered something even better - the Capulin coffee they serve at Bean Here Now. You'll taste that it doesn't have the bitterness of other coffee, and I especially love the smooth high that isn't followed by a crash.The operator Mitch told me the story about the coffee. The difference is that the beans never touch water until they hit the espresso machine (other beans are processed with water - bad beans float to the top - but that can form tannins in the beans which Mitch says people often react to and think it's the caffeine that is giving them bad side effects). I used to drink coffee rarely because it gave me jitters and I didn't like the acidic feeling in my body afterwards - but now I am addicted to Capulin coffee because it is a wonderful experience. The other thing to note is that the beans are from a family farm in Mexico, and Bean Here Now pays 4x fair trade rates to ensure the family is paid fairly for their amazing product.I recommend the MochAmericano - the coffee beans have been coated with vanilla, cacao and coconut oil. Also, the iced drinks are excellent and an iced Americano is the same price as a hot one (which is how it should be!)

I was doing a walkabout in Nelson and I dropped by to see what he has to offer. So, I ordered a Mayan hot chocolate. The taste of the Mayan hot chocolate made me feel nice and happy. I will be back with family or friends!

This restaurant exclusively serves Capulin coffee, which is made from hand-picked and sorted beans that do not come into contact with water until they are brewed. This process results in a smooth coffee with low acidity, making it a more enjoyable drink without the unwanted acids and tannins from the washing process. The coffee beans are sourced from farmers who are paid fairly for their work, allowing them to support their community while making a living. Knowing that the restaurant practices ethically fair trade adds to the overall experience. Additionally, the barista, Mitch, is highly skilled and friendly, making the coffee experience even more enjoyable as he is willing to chat and share his expertise.
