They're friendly and the location is cute but I'm not paying almost $7.00 to not get a full cup of coffee! They kicked up the prices and are giving less coffee.

The staff is also very friendly and I love the local art they have on display. The place could use a good dusting but overall the atmosphere and quality of the coffee here makes this place one of my favorite places for coffee in Wilmington!

Then, I wanted something sweet and decided on gelato that had pieces of red velvet cookies inside. So good!! The food was tasty but I did think it was a bit greasy. That took away from the experience. But the staff was so helpful and pleasant I would definitely try them again ! They have plenty of seating: indoor and outdoor. For the platter, a small gelato and a small drink my total was $18 which for breakfast seems pretty reasonable. It's worth a try if you're in the North Wilmington area.

Overall, I would go back (lots of things on the menu I would love to try) but there are some considerations that might make it lower on my list: --It's a tiny place, like 16 seats --If they're full, you will be uncomfortably close to other diners --The hash browns are something else entirely...it's like someone filled a sheet pan full of potato latke ingredients, pressed it and made it dense, cut it into 1x1x5 inch sticks, and then deep fried it to a burnt brown (wtf!). It tasted like a latke crossed with a hush puppy. Also be aware that it's walk-in only and you pay when you order (so you have no way to express your dissatisfaction with the so-called hash browns). It's street parking in a residential neighborhood but I luckily got a great spot. Obviously this review got a little snarky. So let me repeat that I was happy with my food and think the menu is great. I only deducted one star!

Happened upon Java Bean Cafe when we were randomly in the area to pick up a belt bag that my wife…read morehad found on Facebook and I was very happy we did. The space is very bright with gold and color everywhere on a bright little corner in Claymont and has good parking in front and around back. But what is really exciting is that when you step through the door and walk to the counter, you see how interesting the menu on offer really is. I had every intention of having a breakfast sandwich or bagel, but once I saw the whole menu and saw that I could order a noodle bowl for breakfast, the game had changed. I also ordered a delicious cappuccino which was extremely hot, almost too hot, but was very espresso forward and perfect for the morning. However, the two bagels we ordered, one for my wife and one for my youngest daughter, despite being delicious, had barely any cream cheese on them at all. The noodle bowl and rice bowl that we got were also tasty but there was nothing exceptional about them or to make them stand out other than my initial excitement that I could order noodles for breakfast. Everything was made by hand and done right then and there and fairly quickly and everything was very fresh as well as everyone that we interacted with being very helpful and upbeat when we ordered. I even asked about getting one of their very fun shirts they have available. If you happen to be passing on 495, a quick two minute drive off the exit will get you here and it's worth it rather than heading to some chain. Hop on by and enjoy a delicious coffee and possibly some noodles for breakfast if that's your thing like it is mine!
