Atmosphere felt comfortable, lots of cool local gifts to look at. The owner was very kind & welcoming. My partner got an iced caramel latte and an iced lavender latte for myself. I would give it a 10/10. We definitely plan on coming back again

A bright light in Flint. Beautiful Italian espresso machine that makes fantastic coffee. Ken knows his customers by name and is a warm and friendly host. He's done a great job of re-creating European cafe culture in mid-Michigan. Hope this place sticks around for a long time. Best coffee in town. 5 stars.

I have been a customer since shortly after they opened in 2000. The owner has always been nothing less than gracious and kind even when dealing with some of us more difficult patrons ?

Such amazing ownership, and it is so beautiful inside! I got a small coffee today, and it was one of the best I've had, and I'm not even a coffee drinker!

First time here and won't be my last. Owner Ken is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. The decor is beautiful with a 1920s bar out of the old Capitol building in Flint. 100% would recommend
This is a post-worst-of-the-pandemic review. The Good Beans Cafe has survived. I'm sure it wasn't easy but it is open again. I think the owner would like you to know that it is OPEN (I'm writing this Nov. 12, 2022) and that the HOURS ARE MWF from 10 - 2 and people will need to wait for more staffing for more extended hours. So I hadn't been here (I don't live in the area) since before the pandemic closure and I cannot tell you how grand it was to stop for a cappuccino and see people talking and enjoying their coffee at the Good Beans again. For those who don't know, the drinks are extraordinary, the owner friendly and gracious, the atmosphere just fantastic -- it's a terrific funky coffee shop that would also be right at home in Ann Arbor, for instance. It's got its own vibe (obviously generated by the owner) that is still intact, too, like every excellent indie coffee shop. There's enough dedicated parking. My friend and I sat there probably a good 90 minutes catching up and enjoyed ourselves.I highly recommend this place and hope folks can find the time to rejoin life at the Good Beans even without full hours yet. Welcome back, Good Beans! Glad to see you again!

The barista was friendly and the coffee amazing.

My newest obsession is a good caramel or mocha latte! I have gone past this place for years and finally decided to go in. After asking about my taste buds, the owner made me a simple yet sumptuous mocha latte. He advised me how to make one and what to use at home as well- even the type of machine to buy for an at home experience. Very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. I purchased the coffee, and other ingredients from him and made it at home...HIS is much better though. He IS the barista! I'll be going back.

Great coffee shop, a must visit when your in the downtown area.

Good coffee and sort, welcoming atmosphere, the owner is very social and can tell likes his espresso, that he cares and has invested in his service. Strongly supports LGBTQ+, Kettering University LGBTQ+ student organization meets here every Friday. Definitely outclasses Star Bucks and Tim Hortons with a long list of recipes to choose from.My favorite is the Old Flannel and mocha with espresso.
