An item was missing from the order. Door dash and the merchant enjoyed going back and forth between each other with the blame. Horrible service. Horrible delivery. Everyone involved, from the restaurant, to Door dash and the delivery driver are at fault and no one, absolutely no one has been helpful in remedying getting me a refund. I was told by B&B to come into the restaurant to get the refund…if I could of came in for a carry out order don’t you think I would have done that instead of ordering delivery?This use to be my favorite place growing up, but the quality of food and customer service isn’t what it use to be.

The staff at Beans and Barley does a fantastic job! A person in our dinner party had a plethora of food sensitivities and our server was able to talk over her needs w her and the cook to figure out a meal she was able to eat without a problem. We were very impressed w the service and the quality of our meals.

Good food and service. Dining area isn’t very big, often have to wait for a table. Portions are reasonable for the price, but not huge. Attached market has some hard to find items, but most of what’s there is overpriced. Very good desserts, which are on display in the bakery area. Lots of vegetarian and vegan options.The parking lot is small, so I recommend parking on the street and walking if you go during peak times. Bathrooms are classy and clean.

Placed a to-go order of a tuna sandwich at the counter on a late Saturday morning. 35 minutes later, they hadn't even started my order yet so I canceled and left. I get that weekends are busy but that's not an acceptable wait time for a to-go sandwich.

Jim was extremely rude and condescending and should not be a manager! First time when I went on 2/5/2024 and ordered 2 chicken caesar salads and some other items from the deli. After the long wait we get our order and when we got home there was no chicken on our salads which we paid for, so I called told the manager and she said “this has been happening often which our kitchen staff”. So she said she going to refund the orders and offer salads for free when we come back. On 3/3/2024 I decided to give them another try on a chicken caesar salad and this time I got chicken but no dressing for my salad. I called the manager Josh and said this is the 2nd time my order was messed up and I want my money back. He said he was going to refund my order and then he proceeded to offer a gift card. I said I didn’t want the gift card b/c clearly you guys can get it right and I’m not come back and he insisted to send the gift card. On 3/8/2024 I called back asking about the refund for the first order back on 2/5 and the refund for 3/3 and I spoke to a person named Jim. Jim spoke to me in a very condescending manner and off putting, he was talking in a way that he was doing me favors and saying he comp me $80+ dollars back + the gift card. Actually they only refunded parts of the order on 2/5 and void the transaction on 3/3 and I took the gift card back today. So you didn’t give $80 back and OF COURSE after the service I received I want the money back for what I paid for. I DO NOT recommend spending your money with a business that treat their customer so poorly speaking in such a condescending way.

I've been to Beans numerous times. It's always fantastic. The food is always great, as is the service. There is also a little counter area that I have tea at from time to time. Fun

Wonderful unique market/restaurant/ fancy oils and candles and weird sushi shaped eraser. Books, clothes, knickknacks, candy, chocolate, homemade pies and cakes, salads, hot food cases... and then you can always sit in the restaurant or at the counter.I've bought day old foods - delicious! Hot food, cold sandwiches, and crazy little trinkets or cool funky kitchen gadgets you didn't you needed. And pet stuff, too. Oh, and they have amazing cards for any occasion.Parking: The parking lot is a giant slender V shape that gets fullKid-friendliness: I also see kids there all the time. They like browsing by the entire section for kids

One of my favorites in MKE! Delicious vegan pancakes, salads (the dressings are so good), sandwiches and burritos. The service is always good and the place feels cozy and inviting. The little shop inside is also fun and is a great place to get gifts and snacks.
