I recently visited The Human Bean and had an amazing experience! The ambiance is cozy and welcoming, making it the perfect spot to relax or catch up with friends. The coffee was exceptional, with a rich and smooth flavor that clearly shows they use high-quality beans. I also tried a couple of their pastries, and they were fresh and delicious.I will definitely be coming back!

I recently moved to Dumont, and The Human Bean has quickly become one of my favorite spots! From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed by a cozy and vibrant atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. The warm lighting and comfortable seating make it the perfect place to unwind, study, or catch up with friends.

Their coffee selection is outstanding, with rich flavors that show real attention to quality. Whether you’re a fan of a classic espresso or prefer something unique, there’s a drink for every taste. Plus, the little touch of including a chocolate-covered espresso bean with every drink adds a special treat that always brightens my day.

Their bakery items are equally impressive, with everything fresh and delicious. My personal favorite is the croissant – it’s flaky, buttery, and just the right balance of crisp and soft. You can taste the quality in every bite, and it’s become my go-to treat whenever I stop by.

The Human Bean combines great ambience, amazing coffee, fresh baked goods, and thoughtful details that make it a true gem in Dumont. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a standout café experience.

I will no longer be returning.

I have visited about 6 times or more, I was hoping this be my spot for the next decade I live in Bergenfield.

Unfortunately, I have no tolerance for bad service. I ordered the energy drink for a second time in two days.

The first time I ordered it without ice and it caused some disturbance in the staff. The person in charge seemed to be disturbed and looked in my direction. They explained my 32 oz would be 24 without ice and I stated "Ok".

The next day I ordered the drink and the manager from before looked out to see who made the order. It seemed (assuming) the manager gave the directive to disregard my request and give me ice. When I got the drink I immediately stated I said "no ice". The person deviously smiled and said oh the drink was half filled, then exited to the back.

Suggestion to the owner, I understand how the business works but don't sacrifice service. Other renown business have better practices towards this. JUST CHARGE ME EXTRA or say it's not an option. Give me choices don't just ignore my request, that was crazy. Please don't do that to other customers, they may not be as kind to just leave.

I went to The Human Bean in Dumont, NJ. The drinks and food are all amazing. The pumpkin snowy drink is my personal favorite.

Went here for the first time before dropping my girlfriend off at work. Asked for a sesame bagel, didn’t know they didn’t have any and wasn’t told before or after ordering. Was given a cinnamon raisin one. Then asked for a plain one instead, and they gave me an everything bagel. I will not come back here :) don’t know why or how hard it is to make a bagel properly

I used to love this place, either going in person or ordering through an app. But the last 3 delivery orders have brought me incorrect orders - flavored lattes with NO syrup multiple times, black lattes. And they are not cheap, especially through an app. Unless you can go and watch them in person, or correct them after tasting (before leaving), I'd take a pass.

Very good coffee. One of the best in bergen county. Current fave is the iced mexi mocha. Theyre service is great and they try their best to accommodate phone orders. Their app is very inconvenient bc its often undergoing construction, you have to log in each time you use it, and some transactions never end up transferring to points. But i appreciate the perks of the app.
They could spruce up the decor to be more modern and cafe like, but unfortunately still has the old dunkin donuts feel.

I started going to Human Bean last July, and ordered one of their Java Chip frappes. Not only did this hit the spot on a hot day, but I found the service to be top notch with friendly employees who made sure that I was getting what I wanted without any issues. Each time I went back I was greeted with a friendly welcome, and they got to know what drinks i liked, Each drink is prepared as you order it, with a smile and no-problem atttitude. If you want not only a great beverage and something to eat with a friendly smile and and top notch service, go to The Human bean in either Dumont or River Edge. Whether it is the start of your day, a break in the day, or the end of your day, I am always welcomed with a smile, friendly hello, and treated like I am family.

Place is very cute inside. Service was questionable.. staff not aware of things on the menu, but maybe the entire staff was new, I’m not sure. They were polite but very confused by simple questions and requests. Food was awful, I was so disappointed. Egg bites hot on outside, cold on the side. But the real disappointment was the coffee.. I got an iced latte with oat milk.. the final product had zero ice, was very warm, and tasted like drip coffee, not expresso. I asked for a small cup of ice on the side.. once I added about 1/3 of the ice the coffee was so diluted it was not drinkable. Unfortunately not worth the expensive $6.66 price tag. I love visiting different coffee shops all over Bergen county, Passaic county, and NY, this actually takes the cake for the worst one.

A really good coffee, a great variety of baked goods, very pleasant staff. The place has a library shelf where you can take a book from, donate a book or just read it while there. The place is a real jewel, needs to be supported more by the community.
