This place has been on my go to coffee shops for a while now and I finally got the opportunity to go. Their specialty coffees do not disappoint. I had to get to just to try and I will definitely be back to try some seasonal flavors as well as their teas and Matcha. The freddo is creamy sweet and has a nice kick from the espresso. Definitely a very light drink. The iced caramel latte was pretty standard, but what put it over the top was the espresso, whipped cream highly recommend adding the espresso whipped cream to whatever beverage you get! The staff was friendly and helpful with recommendations, as well as bringing my drinks out to me on the patio . There is nowhere to sit on the inside, but there is an outdoor patio that is beautiful especially on a nice breezy fall afternoon. I can't wait to come back and try some other drink drinks that they have as well as their food items!! read more

I got the banana caramel iced latte which was a perfect sweet treat. It was sweet but not too much so and tasted like real banana (no artificial taste). Loved it. read more

Bean there cafe is my top coffee place to go too when I am off from work for the day and want a real special treat. They are the sweetest that work there, and super accommodating. I love this niche cafe for the ladies who work there, the amazing lattes, and tasty acai bowls. Thank you for fueling my mornings when I need a really great latte!! They recently got cereal lattes of different kinds but have yet to try them! read more

Located in a boujie neighborhood. Peaceful, quiet, & very aesthetic. Great study spot (if you're rich lol) The server was very warm and sweet and she did an incredible job helping me pick a drink. Went with the Freddo (special drink) - aka Iced Greek Cappuccino + Milk Gloss. Cost ~$9 Rating 7.9/10- very acquired taste but cute to look at. TBH couldn't even finish it but I appreciated the effort & love the server put into it Been to several cafes in the area to compare to this so: - I disliked how THERE IS NO FREE WIFI (you have to be part of a club with some token something) - YOU HAVE TO PAY $5 to use their study lounge space(or be part of that club and it comes with the access) - aka there is NO FREE INDOOR SEATING only outdoors, so come ready to grab and go Tbh I ended up not even staying there for long and left way sooner than expected due to the no wifi & my hotspot wasn't working yooo :( Overall the place is ok. Just not my vibe atm cuz it gives you're only going to enjoy our services if you have money or part of a "special club" read more

Small shop, it really is a grab and go. The service was nice, there's only one person working so if there are multiple customers it can take some time. From the reviews, I was under the impression there was a separate area where patrons could sit besides the co-working space, but there is none. I had my latte to go, which was pretty good. read more

bean There is a small, grab-and-go coffee shop located in a quiet residential neighborhood just 2 minutes away from Princeton Junction station. It's one of those places that you discover by chance, but once you do, you feel lucky you found a hidden gem. I only found out about this place because I was scrolling around on Google Maps and happened to find this spot. The location is super low-key, the vibe is cozy, and the baristas are incredibly warm and welcoming. They will happily walk you through all the different kinds of roasts and drinks they make and explain what makes each one special. This is a real coffee shop, where quality and craft matter more than churning out generic lattes. My personal favorite drink is the spicy maya mocha. It was the first drink I ever ordered from bean There and it was fantastic. They also serve a variety of seasonal drinks, acai bowls, tea, baked goods, and more. Pros: * Convenient location near Princeton Junction station and shops (2-3 minutes away) * Plenty of free parking * Extremely high quality drinks with a solid variety, as well as seasonal beverages * Great variety of other items like acai bowls, baked goods, tea, etc. * They offer a $39.99/month club membership where you can get unlimited drip coffee for locals/regulars * Super friendly baristas who make the shop feel welcoming and the community is extremely tight-knit * Uses Clover, so you can earn points with purchases * Some outdoor seating is available Cons: * Prices are on the higher side for a coffee shop (most 12-16oz drinks cost between $5-$8) * Some add-ons like whipped cream cost extra, so you should check Clover/website for details * No indoor seating unless you're a member of the connected coworking space (from Here) * Very limited hours: only open on weekdays from 8 AM - 3 PM Overall, this is my favorite coffee shop in the Princeton area. I don't get coffee too often, but if I do, bean There is my first choice. read more

Bean There was absolutely amazing!! I got a spicy maya mocha oat milk latte and it was delicious. My friend got an oatmilk vanilla latte - also delicious. We LOVED the choice of can or cup! The owner (I believe) is sweet as can be & so so personable. It's a cute little shop that does not get nearly enough praise and attention! Definitely will be back next time I'm in the area! read more

Bean there cafe is located within a small residential community in Princeton Junction. They serve coffee, tea, açaí bowl as well as fresh pastries. The service is very friendly and accommodating. They occupy a great space with outdoor seating as well as indoor workspaces with everything from private rooms to large open floor plan accommodations. We ordered several iced coffees and an açaí bowl. The winning ingredient on the iced coffee was the homemade espresso whipped cream. I could literally eat a bowl of it. The prices are a little high. The medium sized açaí bowl was $10, but the size was very small. The whipped cream also added an additional $2 on top of the $4 coffee. Overall, it was a great experience at a new establishment, which surprisingly has been here a year. read more

Good quality coffee and service. Not rushed, all worked through and you can tell effort is put into the drinks and how they're made. My fiance and I got a cold brew and the cloud matcha with coconut water and we'll definitely be coming back. The coconut water really makes you feel like you're being transported to the tropics. read more

This cafe offers an amazing working environment. The color tones, clean air, and white noise machines offer THE PERFECT space to motivate yourself to work and maintain focus and avoid stress while you're at it (I can speak for this as a college student, trust me this is hard to find). Not to mention their amazing arm chairs with desks that are super comfortable, home style desks with extra monitors to connect your laptop to, and their row of high desks seated near the enormous windows with ample outlets, you will never get bored with the amount of options they offer. And if you need more privacy they have private offices with all the equipment you could ever need along with private meeting rooms. ...Putting my google review on Yelp too because they deserve the complements... I am in love with the design and idea of this cafe. They have one of the best working environments you could ask for along with one of the greatest cafes. They have a wide selection of coffees from espressos pulled from the one of a kind la marzocco machine, many varieties of drip coffee, and pour overs. They also have a wide variety of snacks available: all the best pastries imaginable to go with your coffee and even an acai bowl bar and amazing oatmeal bowls for those who haven't had a chance to have their breakfast yet =) My personal favorite is their spicy maya mocha. And there's an amazing barista there by the name of Karen, say hi if you see her read more
