“ Coffee drinks were appropriately strong and tasty. Sometimes at other coffee shops we will order a latte or cappuccino and barely feel any caffeine. Lots of different drink options and fast turnaround time for drive thru. Three shots of espresso for a large latte and two for a cappuccino. Thank you to the kind woman in front of us who paid for our drinks. ”
“ As far as Coffee Beans go, this is one of the better locations I’ve been to. They have a drive through, a ton of seating, two bathrooms, and an outdoor patio. The staff is friendly and kind and make good recommendations. I enjoy the flavored coffee drinks and the teas quite a bit. “Cookie butter” is a unique and good flavor to add to iced coffee by the way! ”
“ This was my first time coming here and I will definitely be back! The drinks are really good and there are many options. Everyone was so friendly and I had a lovely conversation with one barista in particular, Zakhari! She was so kind and explained the different menu items to me. This is also a great location to study or do work, lots of indoor outdoor seating and outlets. ”
“ Good ambience, friendly staffs, great coffee. Good wifi, plenty of places to sit. Best thing is, almost evey sitting area has electric outlet. I tried their latte without sugar - best coffee within a week for me. ”
“ I've been coming to the Coffee Bean since I was in high school. I even worked there as a Barista for a while in Old Town Pasadena. Their coffee is nice and smooth. And I love the black forest!!! ”
“ They have a nice selection of coffees here. There is a large seating area with high ceilings that gets a lot of sun light. They have smaller tables, a few large tables, and a lounge type seating area. They also have an outdoor seating area. There is a drive-thru option. The staff is pleasant and helpful. ”
“ My day off and I wanted a place of slight peace and soft cushion for my stressed body to sit/chill for a few hrs. The Google powers that be, led me here to this coffee establishment. I can say the coffee is pretty good here and the setting is nearly perfect to sip away your life’s problems. Cheers friends!! Oh and the coffee I got was scorching hot, which is nice but I’m just warning you. It’s gonna be like your Nintendo days, when you blew the dust off that game cartridge. Push through and enjoy the fruits of your hard labor, you deserve it. ”
“ My favorite coffee spot hands down ! Everybody is super friendly, great service ! Nicole and Haley, great customer service definitely go above and beyond with a smile! ”
