As a local business, I love getting my lunch from the Bean. The staff is amazing- friendly, kind and speedy. The food is fantastic- fresh, local and reasonably priced. And you always run into someone you know! Great place for community.

I don’t know what’s going on at the bean, but I’m tired of the disrespect. I’ve let a lot slide up until this point, but now I have to say something. I’ve been going here for over a decade and the service has never been so poor. I don’t even hang out there anymore, but even my experience of placing Togo and pickup orders has been extremely subpar. For one, why are the baristas acting like catty high schoolers. The person in front of me there all smiles and friendly. Then I get to the front and they’re frowning and acting upset. I don’t bother these people. Why do I get the attitude? It feels like some sort of racial tension or something. That’s my only explanation. They’ve gone as far as ignoring me and taking the order of the person I’m with, but the latest issues seem to be the final straw for me. I’ve been vegan for a decade and this is a place that purports to accommodate that, but the baristas have repeatedly given me non vegan items my past few visits. First it was the vegan breakfast burrito, and I should have just stopped going there then, but I know people make mistakes so I gave them grace, but today was a bridge too far. I ordered a cold brew with oat milk, and the barista made it with whole milk, luckily she labeled it, so I just asked if she could fix it. Instead of getting a new cup she just tossed the old coffee out and made the new one in the same cup. I don’t even think she rinsed it out. Disgusting. Terribly disrespectful as well. I can no longer spend my hard earned money here, and would suggest that any other black people in the area do the same.

Atmosphere is nice & right next to the park. I did not like my matcha @ all, it tasted very bland & watery. I liked the bread though

Very cool vibe in here. They host hardcore and punk shows which is really cool. But the coffee here is pretty mid not gonna lie but haven’t tried any other drinks. Also there prices are the best in the city. A medium coffee is like $3.80

Love this place. They have always been extremely understanding and kind knowing I have a severe allergy. They did mess it up once, but instantly made it right and were very apologetic. Of the 100 times being here 99 visits were top notch! Love their coffee and they always have vegan options, which I go to as someone with a deadly milk/egg allergy. Most staff here are also super cool. Prices are very reasonable!!! ♥️

The worst Americano. It was like adding a pinch of coffee to 8 oz of water. It was more like tea. the coffee was extremely bad🤮🤮

I take being vegetarian seriously, so when I go to a place that says they are vegetarian or vegan, I expect that they know what they are saying. I asked when I arrived if the cheese is vegetarian and the two people working had no idea what I was talking about. I explained and asked if the cheese used animal rennet and they did not understand- and then they googled it and were shocked. So, that did not boost confidence in their vegetarianism. They at least admitted that they did not know, but shouldn't they? I ate an egg (real egg) sandwich with vegan cheese and vegan bacon. It was OK, nothing spectacular. I also had to use the restroom at one point and was slammed with political messages - Honestly, some were offensive- How is any of that appropriate in a bathroom for a place that serves everyone? Huge turn off.
