Stopped here for a sweet treat after going to the DMV and I’m so glad I did!! A barista recommended a drink to me and I got whatever she said, and it was delicious. I don’t live in Sterling, but if I’m ever back in the area I’ll definitely swing by and get another coffee at this place. Oh, and the chocolate covered espresso bean was the sweetest little surprise. Loved it!

May 2026

The Human Bean is such a reliable spot! I’ve been here a few times now, and even though I try something different every single time, I have yet to be disappointed. Whether you’re using the convenient drive-thru or walking up to the ordering window, the experience is always top-notch.
Why I Keep Coming Back:
• The Protein Coffee: I tried a small protein coffee with protein cold foam this time, and it was the perfect fuel for my shopping day and the drive...

February 2026

Visited this shop multiple times while visiting my parents over the weekend and decided to stop by one last time before traveling back home. The woman who served us today must of been having a bad day because she was very short and rude to my husband and I. When we asked a question, she was short and snippy. The actual coffee was watered down and not thr best.
