About Cool Beans
Cool Beans is a chill studio for creating sh*t.
We understand the pain and suffering that goes into executing ideas. Sometimes the hardest part about it is finding the time and space to do the damn thing. Cool Beans is a studio you can hire for all your content creation, photography, and workshop needs.
This studio is based in Napier’s most iconic Art Deco heritage building right in Napier CBD. If you’d like to have a lil eyeball, get in touch and we can show you around!
Please note: We currently don’t have any blackout options at the moment and there’s fuck all acoustic treatment… yet. Solutions to both are being worked on!
