Great little place. The 2 running the place are friendly and funny. The visual representations from the menu to the woodwork and the decor add a sense of sophistication to the atmosphere. They know what they're doing and it shows!

Brown lettuce on my BLT. My son’s breakfast sandwich was great. If you are advertising BIG BLT please check your lettuce quality. Usually I have a great experience here, must have been an off day. Always support local even if they have an occasional hiccup. I’ll still be back. Sunflower bagel and jalapeño cheddar are the best in the area.

So the bagels and sandwiches are always great. I ordered a toasted everything bagel with dill cream cheese and it was an A+. I've never gotten a sandwich there that I didn't like.

Butttt the lattes are pretty bad. In fact, I'm pretty sure they're not even using espresso; it tastes like watered down coffee with milk. While I was excited for all of the unique flavor options (I got Blueberry Fields, which is a Blueberry vanilla latte, and a nutella latte for my wife), the execution of those lattes was straight terrible.

You know when you go to Dunkin and you get a coffee that somehow tastes 'Grey'? That's exactly how I would describe the flavor of my Blueberry Fields; Grey, without being able to taste the espresso that's supposed to be in my latte.

I tried my wife's Nutella latte, and it had the exact same coffeeless flavor. Both were awful.

I read another review and noticed someone else claimed to see them pull 4 espresso shots from a single puck...and that totally makes sense and is what my drink tasted like, although I wasn't paying attention to the making process.

I rarely leave reviews, but the fact that a coffee shop's lattes are SO awful needed to be shared.

Their breakfast sandwiches are the best! Bagels are always fresh and my fav is southwest chicken chipotle one! Also wake me up smoothie is delicious! Highly suggest to visit :)

All the drinks I have gotten there have been pretty good, but the service and hours of operation are a little, eh. When I went I think it was about an hour before close (which is like, 2-3pm for some reason) and the girl did not seem thrilled that I was in the store at all. I usually don’t go anywhere in the last hour, but having hours of operation like this makes it hard to get in there beforehand. Regardless, the blending hasn’t been great lately, but the ingredients are good I suppose. I probably won’t be going back because of the attitude, I don’t like feeling like I’m burdening anyone, especially someone who may just work there, so I’ll likely be keeping my distance unfortunately. If you don’t mind that, the drinks are pretty good, and have a lot of fresh/real ingredients. Atmosphere gets one extra star for the outdoor patio, which looks nice, but again, I wouldn’t want to overstay my welcome by spending a lunch break out there and dirtying a table while they’re trying to close up.

Great sandwich, very friendly staff, great atmosphere. We will be going back. And they have gluten-free bread for the sandwiches.

Dietary restrictions: They have gluten-free bread, but not a GF toaster.

Staff is super friendly and inviting. There's nothing worse then entering a place you have never been and being ignored, not knowing what to do. That doesn't happen here. I'm somewhat of a bagel enthusiast and they were excellent. The also have 4 jacks nitro on tap so huge bonus there.

5 bucks for a plain bagel with butter. I ask girl to show menu or anything nothing. They make own prices

We ordered this morning. I commended the girl dealing with a difficult customer walking in on our order. I get it, it was busy because of the storm that rolled in the night before.
Ordered the adk sausage & a blte with a large French vanilla latte. I got my food but no latte. Twice I asked for this drink during the order. Halfway Through my food I realize I still do not have my large latte. I walk up to front (still very busy) the girl that previously worked with us says she has my drink. I grab it & Head back to the table. We'll apparently it was not mine. No one had made it. The food was delicious but very disappointed with miscommunication.

Right when we were leaving I heard the girls talking asking if I even ordered one.
No one gave me a receipt for my order. My husband and I knew what we order and the girl that wrote it on the paper.

I travel for work and like to support small businesses, so I tried Cool Beans. Very nice little shop, but never got to try anything. After waiting on a line to the door (about 4 or 5 customers for 10 minutes, while ONE employee ran around behind the counter (obviously they need more staff) saw a sign on the register that said "Cash or Check only, no credit cards". Really?! C'mon, ya have a great business that people are obviously waiting on a long line for, and in this day in age, many people don't carry cash!I had to leave right before my turn.I also didn't like that there were no prices on the menu boards.It's a shame, probably would have been good, but I will give them a try if I'm back in town with cash another time and update.
