Blue Bean | Coffee & Coworking

Modern coffee shop. I went here for coffee flights with two family members. We made a reservation ahead of time, I highly recommend doing that online. When we arrived we placed our flights order at the register and about 40 minutes later our coffee came out. The flights were very fresh and the flavors were fun and festive. The seating space is a little small and the wait time for coffee was long, but the coffee was delicious and the staff were very kind.

Slow service. Spent 9 dollars on a small lemonade that was alright. Place had limited seating, with much of it costing money. Cushions were stained and it was a little dirty. Didn’t stay for long and left disappointed.

I will not be returning to this establishment. Went to meet a friend to work and drink some coffee today, paid over $20 for three slivers of toast and a latte. My food and drink were both alright, but definitely not worth the price I paid for it. Additionally, I cannot believe that they tack on working space that you have to pay for at a coffee shop, which I would expect to offer tables and wifi for any paying guest. The “guest” space was ridiculously small and we were butt to butt with everybody, forcing my friend and I to sit in the corner on the gross stained stained couch. (granted it is a Saturday so probably more busy than usual). Even the outdoor patio seemed to be only accessible from the paid member area. Every table was also dirty. Only solid thing was the service, I feel bad that the baristas have to serve crowds and keep a space clean when they obviously aren’t prepared for it.

Despite being incredibly busy and overwhelmed, the staff all did a great job making sure each item was well crafted and took special care in getting each order right. Not to mention, the food and drinks are phenomenal

The lovely folks working at this location are so kind. I was unsure of my drink and the gal helping me was so patient and helped me decide on a Salty Bee drink. It is great! She was so personable and sweet. Give them all a raise. I will be back time and time again! Keep up the great work. We need more people like you in this world.

Was looking for a coffee shop with coffee flights. This place is a must! My favorite was pistachio mocha. The toast flight was delicious as well. The ability to choose which coffee to request for your coffee and toast flights makes it even better. Will visit again next time I am in Des Moines. The atmosphere is very welcoming. Customer service was outstanding.

coffee tastes like creamer. i just really dont like drinking milk with the scent of coffee and overpaying for it. when its too sweet i feel like i could have done that myself. BUT i will say, the environment is so cute! i love the decor, the seating arrangement & the employees are kind!!

I paid an overall of $27 (20% tip not included) for the avocado toast and a coffee flight, which equals about $3.85 per 4 6oz coffees and $11 for a very subpar SLICE of avocado toast. The coffees were good, but I feel like I paid double for wha was in front of me. I don’t understand the point of the reservation either as it took just as long as being at the back of the line. The seats were stained in coffee, and the tables were so dirty, we had a hard time finding a table. It was very hard to get around the occupied tables. Overall, I don’t think I would recommend this to anybody except if they’d be willing to pay $4 per 6oz for a coffee flight.

It’s more than just coffee it was an experience. An interactive one! It’s a good spot to meet with friends or do some work.

Such a cool place — they have numerous coffee flights, tea flights, and even toast flights!! The menu is very big and customizable, so you will definitely find something that you like here. Our barista was very kind & knowledgeable, she gave us great recommendations based off things that we typically drink. I got a strawberry rose matcha & it was delicious!! You can tell that the drinks are made with TLC (lol). We will definitely come back for a toast & drink flight in the future.
