The beans latte was outstanding with a hint smokiness. I am very unexperienced when it comes to beans. However, Jack's Beans has sparked a burning desire within me to become a connoisseur in the Art of Beans. A Beans Boss if you will. Or a Beans Black Belt if you would. Dare I say a Beans Brainiac. A Beans Brewer perhaps. Or maybe even a Beans Benefactor. My only aspiration is to one day come close to replicating the fine dining that I experienced at Jack's Beans.

Oh, HELL YEAH! Best bean joint in the world! Not to be missed. And their unique (I’d call it ‘revolutionary’) air filtration system quickly and quietly eliminates the unavoidable side effects of legumes.

Honestly, I thought this place was a joke. Turns out it's a hidden gem that I can't recommend enough! I brought some leftovers home to my chinchilla, and he's never been the same since.

Ah, dearest reader, permit me to regale thee with a most wondrous account of a dining establishment so resplendent in its culinary offerings that mere words tremble at the task of capturing its grandeur. Jack’s Bean, nestled in the bustling heart of Kalamazoo, Michigan, stands as a veritable temple of gastronomic delight, an Eden wherein the noble legume ascends to heights hitherto unimagined by mortal palate. Upon crossing its humble threshold, one is immediately enveloped in an ambiance of unparalleled warmth, where the air itself hums with the dulcet symphony of simmering pots and the laughter of contented patrons. But, O! To speak of their famed bean is to summon poetry itself! Never before hath a single bean been so tender, so exquisitely seasoned, so imbued with the very essence of ambrosia, that upon the first bite, the soul is uplifted to celestial realms of pure, unbridled rapture. The flavor—rich yet delicate, hearty yet refined—awakens dormant passions, evoking the revelry of ancient feasts and the delicate artistry of a master’s hand. Each morsel sings upon the tongue as though composed by the very Muses themselves, whispering secrets of earthly bliss to those fortunate enough to partake. Truly, dear reader, one must abandon all prior conceptions of what a bean may be, for here, at Jack’s Bean, the legume is reborn, transformed into a dish so divine that the mere recollection of its taste brings forth a tear of gratitude. Shouldst thou ever seek solace from the tribulations of life, venture forth unto Jack’s Bean, where the humblest of ingredients shall nourish not only thy body but the deepest chambers of thy yearning soul.

I got the Mexican jumping beans, they were not very fresh and did not jump very high. Manager offered a full refund and apologized. They said there is a national shortage from their normal supplier out near LA, sadly all beans were killed in the Cali wildfires but they are importing some new ones from Mexico which should be even more authentic.

We ordered their bean soup and to my surprise we found a mouse in the dish. When called for help, Jack beans came outside, caught the mouse with its tail and showed us his juggling skills! He acknowledged that regular encounter with mouse in the restaurant has turned him into a juggler. We also tipped him for his juggling skills. As for the mouse, Jack beans never disclosed where it came from and where it went

So my visit. personally was quite exquisite. For the purposes of Google, I will deliver 5* all around, however, on my personal rating scales, I’d give it a 2 out of 2 stars, and a 19.7497 out of 19.8 stars. The slippage on my personal 19.8 rating system would be because my frosty glass of beans was a little watered down before my waiter got it to me. Still, try to find good help in this economy, am I right? For my main course I had the duck a l'beans, and it was absolutely delicious. The Bean Chai? Delectable. I splurged on some of the desserts as this was a fancy date I was on. The baked bean Alaska? Absolutely decadent. I’m unsure the baked bean sunday really held up, but those bean cupcakes? Think I’ll get an order for my office’s Christmas party. My date of course, being particularly fancy decided to go the Sushi route and order the bean roll (named after some random midwest state, maybe North Dakota? All I can say, is hands down the best sushi I’ve ever had, and I consider myself a true coin assure. I’ve been a big fan of the California Roll and Philadelphia Roll for quite sometime, but the Oklahoma Roll, or whatever midwestern state it was named after will be tops of my list next time I go out for some fancy dining. Jack’s Beans is legit the spot to hit up if you’re ever in the Kalamazoo area.
Kid-friendliness: I mean, we’re all just kidding around here, am I right?
Wheelchair accessibility: Yeah, if you can get to this place, it’s totally ADA compliant.

I think you all really ought to try the bean sandwich. Last time I had it made by Jack himself. It’s got a superb blend of flavors and textures that just can’t be replicated by any other sandwich. The Bean sauce has a unique flavor, and I always ask for extra on the side. 10/10 highly recommend.

Jacks Beans is the restaurant equivalent of a rollercoaster: thrilling, unpredictable, and mildly terrifying for your stomach. The menu is a bean lover’s dream—or nightmare, depending on how much you like beans... and how much your digestive system can handle.
I tried the "Bean Bomb" chili, which might actually be a weapon of mass destruction. It’s spicy enough to make you reconsider every life choice you’ve ever made. The "bean dessert" was an experiment in human courage. Beans... in a dessert. Why? I don't know, but I ate it. And lived to tell the tale.
The service? Great. The ambiance? A bean-scented utopia where you’ll leave feeling full... and full of beans. Would I go back? Yes, but I’ll bring a gas mask and a week’s worth of antacids.
10/10—if you want to live life on the edge (of your digestive limits).
