It was about 8am on Monday morning. Other coffee places are jam packed with people. I noticed right when I parked in front of... the establishment that it was dead. I didn?t know if they weren?t open until I walked closer and saw someone sitting inside. Hewas the only customer. I went in and grabbed a Hazelnut Latte and a Beyond sausage and egg sandwich. The girl asked me if Iwanted it toasted/heated which I thought was weird. Why would I want it cold? No big deal. The result was a decent drink, but asandwich that would have been better suited for the trash can. The sausage is tiny and much smaller than the bread. The breadwas hard and burnt. See the pics. I thought this place is supposed to be better than Starbucks? It?s definitely not. I wouldpossibly grab another drink from a different Coffee Bean but I definitely won?t be eating anything from there. Read more

No line so it's easy to get a cup of coffee. Seating normally available. Good place to meet a friend and chat. Quiet too

They get two stars for their smiles and positive attitude- but as other folks have stated this place is insanely slow. If you... see anyone waiting inside, you?re going to be waiting 15-20 minutes for your drink probably. I don?t know if it?s a staffingissue or training or what. But I can?t fault the workers. They?re positive and happy. Read more

so so so slow, the absolute slowest place to get coffee in town. If there is more than 2 people in the line when I walk in I... leave, knowing it will at least take 20-30 minutes and lots of people working there??? SO SO SO SO SLow. Its a shame..so I godown to the bagel place and get her coffee and I'm in and out in 2 minutes and always a nice smile Read more

I prefer this company to Starbucks but the staff is not trained as well. There's a lack of seriousness and urgency to provide... consistantly good customer service. The coffee is better and so is the quality paper cups and lids Read more

I have been many times mostly for the red velvet cocoa but this time I got the cookie butter ice blended thing and it was... exactly what it was. A cookie butter ice blended drink. It was sweet but had a nice salty/baked note to it that kept itbalanced. Will go again (obviously). Staff is very sweet as well! Read more
