The Dancing Bean is a cozy coffee shop that offers a variety of drinks and food options, including a lavender latte, cinnamon cake, and boozy coffee cocktails like the Spiteful Chai and Royal White Ukrainian. The shop has a friendly and welcoming atmosphere, with staff who are remembered by name by the barista. The shop also has a fireplace, outdoor seating, and free WiFi, making it a comfortable place to relax. It is located in the Apple Valley Mountain village on US 321, with plenty of parking available. Visitors praise the excellent coffee and pastries, though some mention that many items tend to run out early in the day. Seasonal blends and flavors keep the menu fresh, and there are hot and cold coffee options, as well as non-coffee bobba drinks for kids and non-adults. The atmosphere is kid-friendly with sweets and drinks, and the ramp provides wheelchair access, though it may require assistance due to being wooden. Despite ongoing renovations, it remains a favorite spot for many, offering a warm, inviting environment with good service and ample parking.
