    Create your own coffee!
    Deanna R.

    I stopped here while I was in Galena to create my own coffee. I was impressed by all they had to offer- lots of different flavors and other items you could purchase. It's a nice store to stop in if you love coffee. I roasted the coffee once I got home and it tastes delicious. Very flavorful and rich.

    Coffee beans, Keurig cups, lattes and ice coffee. It's all here. You can even get a coffee with flavors that are in sweetened if you want

    Best coffee place on street. They have every flavor and strong yummy coffee. We got there as they were closing and the owner opened up the shop to serve us. Great family owned shop.

    This was recommended as the spot for amazing coffee!! While in Galena, IL make it a must stop!

    As we were driving through LeClaire, Iowa a Sherriff pulled us over and we started talking telling him we actually were staying in Galena, Illinois. He was so friendly that he recommened the Mean Bean as the best spot in Galena for amazing coffee! After my husband told him we would be sure check it out, he was so gracious that he only gave us a verbal warning!! THANK YOU MEAN BEAN FOR GETTING US OUT OF A TRAFFIC TICKET!!! LOL!

    Fun at The Mean Bean Coffee Roaster

    During my road trip to Chicago, we decided to stop in Galena for lunch on our way and I chose Big…read moreBill's and our group all enjoyed our experience here. This sandwich shop and coffee bar has a fun industrial and vintage charm, and plenty of seating throughout the location. The location was also well lit and airy, and I loved the exposed brick walls and fun eclectic frames along the walls. The service was also excellent and the girls who worked here were so sweet and helpful! My boyfriend and I both got the reuben and our friend got a chicken wrap. Both of them said they enjoyed their meals, and I thought my reuben was excellent and much preferred to typical road trip fast food stops. It was genuinely the perfect stop midway from Nebraska to Chicago, and a nice opportunity to stretch our legs and have a refreshing and filling meal. I would definitely recommend to try Big Bill's!

Got to say the lunch menu has more options. The prices are pretty okay for portions. Best place to get a sandwich or wrap around. It's a charming old place with plenty of seating. They have breakfast and lunch with lots of variety. Among the morning options are omelettes. The lunch menu features sandwiches. Has the classics and more. It's about $9 for the Hummus Wrap. A pretty filling thing stuffed with lots of it. There also was cucumbers and spinach. For sure it's a great place at breakfast. It's got a lot more options at lunch. They're closed Tuesdays.

They have a private bathroom here , which you need to ask the workers for the key to access. This place provides delicious handcrafted churrosmade fresh throughout the day. We sampled the combo , which had two churros and a dipping sauce and added an iced pistachio coffee. The churros and the dipping sauce were absolutely incredible. One of the best churros I have ever tasted. They have numerous flavor options for the churros.And also many different kinds of dipping sauce , it made it hard to choose. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. They paused to let me take some photos.And also showed me their quick efficient process of making the churros fresh to order. There's plenty of tables inside the cafe to sit down and enjoy your order. It's also air conditioned , in case you're trying to get out of the heat and looking for some shade. I\nHighly recommend this small , reasonably priced establishment.
