The Bean Coffee Shop - Auburn

I read some of the reviews and agreed with some things but overall it was good food ok smoothie and great atmosphere. It had a mom with her young kids of different ages, a couple older folks and me a middle aged woman. Loved the way it’s styled and the way it feels. Friendly staff, even asked me if I enjoyed everything. I did try a smoothie out of my comfort zone because wanted something with lemon flavored but it was over powered by the lemon flavor. Avocado sandwich was amazing, I wish it wasn’t cold though. The cream cheese was cold I believe but don’t think there’s a way to warm cream cheese, room temperature would have been lovely. I do have to say this isn’t a restaurant with chef’s, it’s a diner and I would probably order that sandwich again. I want to come back to try their loaded oatmeal and teas. This was awhile ago because I have my Ugg boots on, so during this winter season. Trying to get better at leaving reviews. Oh and I too had a long wait time even though it wasn’t busy at all, it was early in the morning. That’s definitely my main reason for not having visit again! Definitely if service was faster I would visit more often. I don’t have time to chill in a dinner for a hour in the morning. So definitely this spot is more geared to college students. Still 5’a all around!

I was so excited to try this place because I’ve been following them on social media. I came with my 3 kids and got a take out order for my husband. We got the salted Carmel coffee, a cappuccino, a hot chocolate, cinnamon roll, French toast, and two avocado toast with egg.They did not have a high chair (which is fine) just wanted to mention. The salted caramel latte was a 4/10. The cinnamon roll and French toast was 9/10 . The hot chocolate didn’t make it on my first order so whenever got done I ordered it again and it took at least 15 minutes to get it.Overall the place has a great atmosphere but the coffees were not the best. Me and my husband didn’t even finish our coffees or food.While I was in there one lady even asked for a refund because it was taking so long.Don’t come here if you are in a hurry. This is a hangout and grab a coffee and study or work place.I hate to give it a bad review I’m not hard to please, but this was just not a great experience. ?*EDITED*We came back today and it was muchhhhh better!! I got a maple ? latte and my husband got a macchiato! I also got the breakfast casserole and it was super good!The service was so much better!! Fast and friendly!I appreciate the owner reaching out to me and inviting me to come again. Speaks volumes for how much they care about their customers ??Kid-friendliness: 4/10. Not very friendly.

Great coffee and employees.Highly recommend! Thank you

Cinnamon rolls are good but the coffee isn’t great. Very bitter even if you ask for sweetener. If you like strong extremely bitter coffee this is the place for

Cute decor. Good cinnamon roll. Coffee was fine. Mediocre casserole and the old man behind the counter was very rude.
