RUDE staff. Second time trying. I am local. They Are Always out of items. That's ok. It happens. However NICE goes a long way. Last time. Also bakery item Again was stale. I normally Always support Local. However Do Not Recommend.
We arrived 5 minutes before closing and were refused service. All we wanted were two coffees.
Very nice staff. Made my coffee exactly how I asked! The quality of the coffee is top notch.

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. Customers praise the great coffee, including iced vanilla lattes, caramel frappes, and cold brew, along with tasty pastries and bagel sandwiches that are filling enough to share. The shop also features a fireplace, outdoor seating, and free WiFi, making it a comfortable place to relax. Its indoor and outdoor seating areas provide a nice, chill vibe, perfect for unwinding. Located in the Apple Valley Mountain village on US 321, there is plenty of parking available. Visitors love the friendly staff and the good service, noting that the atmosphere is kid-friendly with sweets and drinks for children. The ramp provides wheelchair access, though it may require some assistance due to being wooden. Despite ongoing renovations, it remains a favorite spot for many travelers, offering a warm, inviting environment with good service and a diverse menu that includes hot and cold coffee options, seasonal blends, and non-coffee bobba drinks for kids and non-adults.
