- Today’s #Samoan restaurant review takes us to The Coffee Bean Cafe. Andrew took over the cafe in February 2018 and has changed locations, improved its marketing, and completely redone the menu! He's got a great story that we unravel for you and that you will be surprised by!! It’s a local boy moving away and then coming back to plant roots and build a successful business in #Samoa!
Located in downtown #Apia right on beach road and 30 seconds away from Aggie Grey’s, he has an incredible location watching the ships come into the harbor and the sun setting over the mountains!
On Andrew’s recommendation, I decided to try two mains because that’s how I do, haha! I knew I couldn’t go wrong. And my goodness! Andrew has really transformed food in Samoa!! Absolutely incredible food! Andrew is revamping the menu again to include some more delicious creations including pulled pork and pulled beef sandwiches and tacos! Top notch service, delicious food, beautiful ambience. Couldn’t ask for more! Come visit The Coffee Bean Cafe next time you’re in Samoa and take advantage of the 10% off discount Andrew is offering! Just tell him JAMilyTV sent you!!

Full disclosure, Andrew blessed my life by providing me my lunch for today’s restaurant review. That said, you can tell that my reactions to the food are completely genuine and i would never tell you to go enjoy something that’s less than incredibly impressive! Massive thanks to you, Andrew, for hosting me. Massive thanks to all of our JAMily for watching, sharing, and loving our channel! Much alofas! If you haven't yet had a chance to SUBSCRIBE, we would so appreciate it if you would consider doing so!
Much alofa from Samoa!

That drone footage of Apia was awesome, alone with the zoom in transition into the restaurant. Appreciate the quality of editing
You are awesome promoting the local businesses through your channel. The food looks great though 😁
It’s always nice to see how chefs come up with ways to incorporate local/traditional ingredients in their dishes. Seeing your enjoyment of their creations and always promoting Samoa and da spots is always refreshing uso. Nice to see our people going back to give back to the people 😎🤙🏽. Mean review once again Joe. Manuia!!😎😎🤙🏽🤙🏽
Thanks Savaii! This review was a lot of fun to do, for sure. And it makes it easy when the food is soooooo delicious! And you’re absolutely right about the local flavors mixed w awesome dishes. Crazy to see the palusami and the ulu hashbrown mixed in so nicely w grilled veggies and a tuna steak! It has certainly been a pleasure to bring Samoa back to the 🇺🇸, 🇳🇿, 🇦🇺, and even 🇦🇸! People (like you) have been so kind and supportive and loving and appreciative that it’s been very very rewarding and motivational for us as well! So deepest appreciation to you and so many others for you love and support and for watching and sharing the channel. ❤️❤️❤️
These Samoan reviews are solid. I didn’t realize Samoa had these type of places.
Thanks Vena! And yes. We have some AWESOME places here. When was the last time you were here??

Beautiful view of downtown Apia....... What kinda drone do you have? I can tell you’re enjoying them great cuisine in Samoa. You can alternate restaurant reviews with maybe tour of resorts and beaches, natural scenery and parks, festivities and celebrations. There’s more you can film besides mukbangs and dining out.
Keep them videos coming Joe. ✌️
That knock on the table after the first bite really tells me how good that food is..lol
Right, I could almost taste it from that knock lol

Can't wait to visit Coffee Bean after watching this! Thanks for sharing love watching your family vlogs. Also have you tried Mi Amor Restaurant? I heard it's good!
Yay! Glad you’re gonna give them a try. You won’t be disappointed. Also, thanks for the kind comment! And yes, we have been to Mi Amor! It was good. But not nearly as impressive as Coffee Bean. But we went right after they opened so we need to go back and try it out again. Maybe you should Facebook message them and tell them to invite me for a Restaurant Review!! 😂😂❤️

Yayyyyy thank you Jamily Tv for the 10% discount 😍😍😍😍😂
When are you gonna go take advantage of the discount??! ❤️❤️❤️
Tomorrow when I get paid 😂😂😂❤️❤️
There used to be a lady in front of the restaurant who sold homemade ice cream. You should try it out of she is still there. If not you can find her up at Vaoala. Just a few metres(probably 50 meteres) up from kokobanana and you'll find her gelato store.
Oh yeah she’s awesome! Her name is Chloe and she opened a shop in Vailima called #WhippedApia. Wonderful people. And their Siamu Popo gelato is amaaaaaazing!!
@@JAMilyTV That's her name lol She used to work with us at Digicel lol
Yeah she’s awesome! Her and her fiancé are moving to Washington soon.
Just wanna show my appreciation to my man Joe for all your drone shots 👍👍👍👍 I always. Always. Enjoy them 👍 No comment on the food because I'm jealous ;p hahaha malo uso
Thanks man! Always fun flying the drone. Lol on the food! Such a funny coincidence. I remember telling you that you had the greatest comment a couple months ago and someone else told me today that they hope i got malaria cuz they were jealous about the food and i expected it to be you, lol! And then you comment on today’s #restaurantreview 😂😂😂
I bet it’s fun flying the drone and not having to get a permit 😣 must be nice 😫😂 my mom always told me, if you don’t have anything nice to say, be quiet. 🤦🏽♂️😂 I’m kidding of course, but in all honesty, living here in Sydney I have no access to all the food you’re always reviewing and eating 😣😭 so I try and avoid watching those videos hahaha BUT! I still slide through with the like 👍🏾 tho 🤷🏾♂️😂 love these reviews (worth the pain 😫😂)
😂😂no poly food in Sydney?? For real?? There’s GOTTA be somewhere. Too many polys there for there to be no poly food. WTH??!! #businessopportunity!
EDIT: and thanks for always sliding in w the like! Certainly do appreciate that very much. And glad you’re enjoying the restaurant reviews! Got another lined up for next week. Excited for that one too. So many great options in Samoa now.
hahaha yeah there’s some “Samoan/Poly food” available here for sure. But come on Joe, I’m an island connoisseur 😜 I like my coconut cream from a coconut (not a can) and I like the kalo from the dirt (not a plastic wrap) 🤷🏾♂️ you see what I’m sayin? 😂
p.s will the 10% discount still stand by December? 😂 I’ll be over then to try that tuna 🤤
Haha! Aight. I follow ya! And yes! Andrew will give you the discount! This video is doing pretty great right now as compared to our other episodes. Make sure to share it w your peeps so Andrew can see how much reach this thing is getting!
Sup bro I be heading down to samoa on September I'm check the kool cafes out on the real.
Awesome!! September will be here very soon Supreme Leader! You bringing your middle button w you?? 😂😂
Thats right Bro too much Tautala not enough eating LOL 🤣 Just jokes Bro your doing Awesome 👍😄👍
Lol! 😂😂 thanks uce! ❤️❤️🇼🇸
🤗
❤️ i don’t recognize your username. Are you a new subscriber?
@@JAMilyTV for about 3 or 4 months now. So pretty much YES. 🤙🏾
3-4 months! That’s awesome! Thanks for the love and the comment. Where are you watching from??
@@JAMilyTV from SoCal. #LA🌅
😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀 coffee bean
You definitely gotta hit it up next time you leave Pittsburg and head this way! (Never knew there was a Pittsburg CA; I’m sure you’ve never heard that before, 😂😂) Thanks for taking the time to watch and subscribe! Much alofas!
@@JAMilyTV Likewise! And yes If i ever drop in Apia again I will definitely stop there!!!!! Looks beautiful!
This kind of giving me an idea that i should open a first island restaurant here and im pretty sure is going to be a HIT. I mean im tired of eating the same american type of food. Florida needs some polynesian exotic and unique type of food in they life 😂😆.
Yes you should! Your location would be awesome for something like this!!
on the GO TO list! fank u.
Noice!! So glad you’re going! Make sure to ask for your 10% discount!!
Solar power uce. I can connect you
Oh Joe drinking coffee lol jk
Lol!! All off camera, of course!! 😂😂😂jk
