Best I've had in a long time! Really sets the bar high on pumpkin spice lattes! Couldn't be happier with the awesome help!

We had a fantastic experience at The Savvy Bean! We placed a pickup order through DoorDash, and our breakfast was delicious. The owner, Sav, was so friendly and welcoming and even took the time to chat with my fiancĆ©e and me. We love how they incorporated their name into the shop's name—it's such a clever touch. The space is beautifully designed, and the staff is great. It's a wonderful new spot, and we're excited to support this local business. We only wish they had a location in Cedar Falls to go along with this great one in Waterloo!

What a gem! The staff was delightful and provided recommendations. There was a great spot in the front for our kids to sit and color while mom and dad enjoyed a nice coffee ā€œdateā€. It was so good, we came back Sunday for the coffee flights! SO worth it!

The Savvy Bean has quickly become one of my favorite places in downtown Waterloo. From the moment I walked in, I felt so welcomed—the staff are genuinely kind and always happy to chat or make a great recommendation. The space is absolutely adorable, with such a cozy, creative vibe that makes you want to stay awhile. I’m hooked on their Lavender Blueberry Kiss Energy Refresher, and the aƧaĆ­ bowls are always fresh and the best texture. Coffee is smooth and flavorful also. Perfectly balanced for my taste!
This is the kind of place that just makes your day better. I’m so glad I found it!

place is nice, coffee doesn’t taste like anything, can’t even taste the cinnamon in the drinks that are supposed to have it

The people that work here are very rude! .just be a younger generation thi g, no respect for anyone. Seems like I am bothering them to order a coffee. And it isn't very good either. Tastes like a watered down hot cocoa not coffee. I can see why there's never a wait here.
