I got the honey dew milk tea and it is delicious! I go to all kinds of boba shops and this is so far my favorite one down river . The man who served me was so kind and even picked a straw that he thought matched me that ended up being my favorite color ! (i wasn't even wearing the color) overall 10/10! read more

Fresh Bean Coffee - Boba Brown Sugar Pearl Milk Tea - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Southgate, Michigan

This was a terrible decision to go to this place !!!! They over charged me for too tea as the tea is advertised for $5.75. I got two teas which should've came out to around $12 instead of came out to almost $19 because they charged me for light ice I asked the young lady that worked there why wasn't so much and she said the owner did not like when people ask for light ice and to charge more because he loses more product I just found this disturbing and I will not be going back to a money hungry individual place of ownership embarrassing read more

Given the name, I wasn't expecting Fresh Bean Coffee Co. to have boba, but I saw them offering the drink during the Made in Michigan Festival in Allen Park. After doing some more research, I saw that the owner was from Vietnam and also owned several drink shops there. That definitely had me intrigued and I decided to go to their main store location to try it out. Sweet Tiger Milk Tea, 50% Sweet, w/ Boba ($6.95) - This is prepared with more like a traditional Vietnamese Coffee vs. a normal milk tea. They have a premixed mixture of tea, condensed milk, and creamer, which they add additional sugar syrup to. Since the boba is soaked in brown sugar, that adds extra sweetness as well. As a result, even at 50% sweet, this drink was very sweet, probably similar to 100% at other shops. Because of the addition of condensed milk, the drink feels quite rich and decadent. Although to one detriment - all the sweet milky flavor completely covers up any semblance of tea taste. I actually ended up brewing some cheap black tea at home and added it to the drink. The drink isn't filled to the brim - they leave about a half inch gap to the top and the tiger stripes (made from carefully ladling the boba and brown sugar syrup) aren't nearly as well defined as what you would see from specialty boba shops. The boba itself is just okay - pretty hard and firm without a great chew. To be fair, this review is only for the boba - and it's not bad. It just didn't stand out to me all that much, other than the usage of condensed milk. I'm sure the coffee here is fantastic given the other reviews and I bet the Vietnamese coffee is solid. read more

The work day brought me to this area and I'm glad I stopped by. There was a group of seniors enjoying the early morning with their newspapers and coffee. I had the Vietnamese coffee and it was delicious. The barista explained what made it Vietnamese and he did some voodoo back there and prepared it for me. It was the perfect refreshing and sweet drink to start my day. read more

We found this great place not far from our hotel. The coffee has great taste and the the staff is very helpful. We visited here multiple times when we either needed a pick me up or wanted to try something new. The place itself looks to be a work in progress, but it still has some nice tables and a great little outside seating area. read more

The staff was super kind and offered to add more thai tea in my thai tea brown sugar boba! But for the price, i've paid for way better thai tea drinks. The flavor was lackluster! I won't be back but still a good experience. read more

Claimed to be sold out most items: almost every single tea, oat milk, pastry display was lacking. Told us they were in stock of the drangonfruit tea and then had to refund us because they were out. What's the point of being open if you have no items? read more

I recommend this coffee shop. Every drink I have tried is yummy here, and as far as any downfall is, there is normally only one batista doing all the drinks. I do feel bad for them . So do expect to wait a moment for your drinks. But it's worth the wait ! read more

Two milk teas for almost $20 and they taste like water. Warning: don't ask for light ice. We won't be going back.

I can only speak about the dry bland muffin I had this morning, so dry that the bread actually stuck to the muffin paper. I made the mistake of also getting a jasmine milk tea, the boba was gross and rubbery. The gals at the register weren't much help, I asked what a "tiger milk tea" was and one of the girls just said "it's tea mixed with stuff" ummm ok? Maybe I'll give this place another try and order a simple latte but definitely not coming for the milk tea. read more

Fresh Bean Coffee - "Jasmine milk tea" looks like matcha to me - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Southgate, Michigan

Was disappointed about a boba tea shop that doesn't have green tea. Apparently, as one other reviewer said, they have a pre-mix of black tea that they just add different flavored syrups. Some else in our party wanted an iced Vietnamese coffee and they were unable to make that as well. There were 5 in our party and all we ended up with was 1 small black coffee. We then went to another drive-thru coffee shop in Trenton where they were very accommodating. Five thumbs down for Fresh Bean. read more

I really enjoy Fresh Bean Coffee! I stop in here usually about once a week for a lavender iced latte. Their espresso is usually pulled really well, only once or twice have I noticed it a bit off. They do their own roasting here, too. Not sure if they serve their own roasted beans as their drinks or if they just sell them. I'd like to ask but the baristas seem not to keen on sparking a conversation- which is fine. That's why this is my grab & go spot. I don't have many complaints and continue to come back, so they must be doing something right. :) read more

The coffee lives up to the name--it is fresh. I hope to be back soon, though I was disappointed in the espresso drink I got. The problem is just that the milk was frothed too much for a flat white and heated to scalding. Even so, I'm optimistically committed to their potential to be the best coffee shop in Downriver. Next time I'll try the teas or a coffee without steamed milk. This coffee shop is a great place for stopping in or staying. Note that if you want to plug in you might have competition for the few outlets. They must be doing something good to attract a steady stream of customers of various ages on a Saturday. read more

Their vietnamese coffee was amazing!! Plenty of space to get some work done :) i loved the ambience

Coffee is delicious. They have a bunch of different flavor varieties as well as teas. There are several tables and window bar seating. However, I recently got a bagel that was impossible to eat. It was so hard, I ended up throwing it out unfortunately. read more

The specialty sticky latte is great! It was a bit of a maze to park and get to the coffee shop with all the construction downtown but it was well worth it. read more

I loved this place! My dad suggested we get Starbucks and I suggested we try this place instead, and I'm so glad we did! It's just so cute inside and everyone was so friendly. I got the Sweet Tiger boba tea and my dad got the iced chai tea, we both loved them! I cannot wait to go back with my boyfriend and my sister and try something else. read more

Fresh Bean Coffee - Lavender Vietnamese iced coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Southgate, Michigan

YES!!!!!! Finally, a good coffee spot in Southgate (Downriver)! I have been watching to see when this spot would open figuring that it was just another lousy spot that will close down quickly because its not that great and someone trying to turn a quick dollar and do bad product. WOW, I was wrong. I am used to buying Madcap and brewing it myself and or going to one of the locations (Detroit, Grand Rapids). Since I have an extremely high regard for Madcap I base everything on what that is like. I would say that this coffee is right there with Madcap. Honest to goodness, I loved the taste and the experience. I hate coffee that is too bitter (Starbucks) and or coffee that is too watered down (Tim Hortons). If you are reading this and haven't tried this coffee, you need to get out and get some. I highly recommend it. Hopefully in time they can offer good food options. But dont let that keep you from coming out and getting this coffee. read more

Good muffins and decent coffee. Industrial feel to the space which is pretty cool. Staff doesn't seem very happy and doesn't engage with customers but instead carry on full conversations with each other the entire time. Would be a MUCH more pleasant place to hang out with just a bit more personal engagement like most coffee shops. read more

I regularly buy the fresh roasted whole coffee beans here so I can grind my own. The beans are truly fresh, and the coffee I make is wonderful. However, they occasionally don't have any beans bagged up ready to be sold. Once, the clerk bagged up some especially for me. I appreciated that. This past week, a different clerk just blankly stared at me and didn't offer to bag any. That was frustrating. I'm now searching for another source for beans as an alternate. A good business should never give their customers a reason to go elsewhere. read more

I had a great experience here and the drinks where great. My 9 year old wanted to try Boba Tea after hearing about it on YouTube. When we went in the guy behind the counter seen my daughter's indecision and asked if she ever had it, she said no, so he made her a tiny one to try. She hated it so he let her try the Bursting Boba, it's made with fruit instead of tea. She loved it and got one. I bought two other drinks for the wife and other kids, all of them where delicious. I tend not to leave tips for carry out but I left one for him. Give this place a try you won't be disappointed. read more

Clean store with very approachable staffs. Enjoyed the bubble teas! The sweet tiger tea and taro was a great choice!

Espresso was bitter. Tables and chairs were dirty. Not busy at all and 3 people working. The pina colada smoothie is delish.

My favorite place to get boba!!!!all of the milk teas are soo good definitely recommend

New coffee shop in Southgate! It's good. I really liked the coffee and the other drinks they have. The atmosphere is nice and chill. They roast their own coffee bean, and put work into what they do. It's cool to see a locally owned and operated coffee shop like this. Looks like it will only get better with time. Will probably become the best coffee shop in downriver. read more

This cafe has a nice atmosphere and interior decor. It's a good hangout place in Southgate area. However as a huge coffee fan , I'm disappointed with their quality. I ordered a caramel latte, it was a disappointment. If they improve the quality of their beverages, it will be a great place in this neighborhood read more

This place has become my new addiction! There bubble teas are better than any place I have ever had... and I've even had them in China before they were popular in the US. read more

What espresso dreams are made of. Very cute atmosphere. It would be a perfect place to study or do work. They have everything from espresso to boba tea. I'm so glad they finally opened something like this closeR to my house. If you're in the area definitely check this place out. read more

A great spot for coffee! Loved the atmosphere inside and drink options (incl non-dairy options). My daughter had a smoothie and really liked it. They even had games to entertain my 1 y.o.!! Will definitely be back! read more

This place has honestly some fantastic coffee!, chill atmosphere and friendly staff. Madison honestly is the best! Shes an artist.

First time patron.. not sure if I would come back after the coldness and irritated behavior of the barista. Everyone has a bad day, but don't that out on your potential customers. read more

Amazing atmosphere, great menu, wonderful staff!! They had the cutest decorations up for Christmas. It is defiantly going to be my new study spot read more

Great service I love how they accommodate their guests especially with their bathroom and my drink was really good too so bonus points

I absolutely love their matcha! It had so much flavor and wasn't watered down at all. The bagel was also very fresh. The employee was very nice and knew what he was talking about, I definitely trusted his recommendations. I'm not from Michigan, but I stop by every time I'm in town now. It is a new favorite for me! read more

You will be surprised when you walk in this coffee shop. It's the prefect place to set down and enjoy great fresh coffee. Dennis Wynn read more

I tried this place the other day and it was really good! I tried their espresso frappe which is their version of a Tim Hortons ice capp but so much better! It's comes in caramel but you can also get it made with mocha. I will definitely be going back soon to try something else! Staff was also super friendly! We got to meet the owner and he was very nice too! read more

Very kind staff who also prepare amazing drinks based off of what you enjoy. Also love the non-dairy options that are available

I have to say I absolutely love this place it's very cute very modern and they supposed to relax and get a good cup of coffee, I enjoyed my cold brew it was very smooth the staff is very friendly I'll be back to have my cup of joe, I know they just opened and they're doing an excellent job and I know they're trying new things I think the bus will get better as people get to know it. It's hard to compete with other coffee giants but they said the bar higher than most. I Wanted to try this place Really bad because I usually don't see any good coffee Downriver I can tell you city coffee is a joke in Allen park. I Can finally say there's something decent Even better downriver River, i've always dreamed about somebody open coffee on Eureka and it happened. I applaud you for taking a chance because not many people have succeeded good luck in your endeavors. I've very pleased with how you guys trying a risk that not would you guys don't have any competition at all where your guys are at. I hope to see you guys grow and my liking to coffee is very very much to the high end. I usually go to Detroit for a coffee or anywhere that has good decent coffee in this area it's hard to try every place in this entirety. I hope my review makes a difference. read more
