We got the vegan burritos with home fries. It was just ok. This place is not vegan they have eggs and dairy.
Lacking flavor in the burrito. Home fries were very spicy and cold when they came out.
Coffee was ok.

With the amazing Hungry Vegan being temporarily closed there was no vegan restaurant in Savannah when we passed through so we tried this vegetarian spot. For a restaurant based on ethical eating & coffee, was surprised that there were only 2 fully vegan breakfast options (vegan breakfast burrito or vegan breakfast tacos) and a breakfast bowl that could be made vegan... I just expected there'd be more alternative egg dishes I guess. I didn't see a vegan quiche option.
I ordered the vegan breakfast burrito, and it was fine but kind of basic , a bit dry and needed salt or more spice. My cappuccino was fine, I didn't love the flavor and there was an extra $1 charge for oat milk.
I appreciate that there is at least a vegan option cafe in Savannah, the to-go containers we're all paper- no plastic in sight, and staff was friendly enough, seemed like it could be good community space supporting LGBTQIA activism and fun on a live music night or movie night but sorry to say we probably won't be stopping in again for coffee or breakfast.

We enjoyed our lunch at the Sentient Bean. We tried the vegan breakfast buritto and the BBQ tofu buritto. Both were flavorful.

A good cafe right across from Forsyth park. The vegan quiche was unique and the vegan breakfast burrito was very flavorful. The oat milk cappuccino was a little too strong 🙂 but flavorful.

Food is okay but needs salt and seasoning. I asked for no spinach. They ignored my request and put spinach in my burrito anyway.
They do not have the ability to foam milk for the cappuccino. So it's not a real cappuccino. It's just espresso and warmed milk.

This spot was fine. The menu has 2 main vegan breakfast options (breakfast tacos or buritto) they were both pretty dry and "just fine"
I wouldn't go out of my way to go here but the options in downtown Savannah are slim and at least this spot is on the cheaper side.
Loved the natural food store next door tho!

The Sentient Bean is a cozy haven right by Forsyth Park, offering great coffee, delicious vegetarian and vegan options, and a laid-back vibe. It's the perfect spot to grab a drink and relax, whether you're getting some work done or just hanging out with friends. The atmosphere is inviting, with plenty of seating and a creative, artsy feel. They also host events like live music and art shows, adding a unique community element. If you're in Savannah and looking for a chill spot with quality food and drinks, The Sentient Bean is a must-visit!
We have been visiting this coffee shop for coffee, pastries, and breakfast for years. The menu has several clearly labeled options for breakfast (all day) & lunch, including limited time specials. It’s always yummy, and the service is always good.

Wonderful little cafe right in front of the park. Lovely atmosphere and great people. Very nice place to get some work done when you wanna go out and don't feel like going to a chain cafe.
Atmosphere gets 5 stars if you like a shabby-chic converted warehouse.

I absolutely loved the high ceilings and the open flow of this establishment. I ordered a vegan breakfast burrito and a chai tea with oat milk. It was a very fulfilling breakfast; I enjoyed it . The Sentient Bean will be one of my go to spots whenever I visit Savannah. I'll make sure to check out the park across the street next time!
Vegetarian options: A couple of vegan options on the menu
Parking: There were quite a few parking spots open across the street by the park.
