The coffee bar has several different roasts and flavored coffees to try, or you can order the coffee bar as your drink and get a mug for unlimited self-serve refills. We ordered their signature iced coffee, and it was delicious. The food menu has plenty of ways to customize your meal. I had the crab salad sandwich with a side of cinnamon bread, and it was fantastic. I'm not a fan of celery, but it was finely chopped instead of having big chunks, so it was perfect. Overall, this was a wonderful experience with great food, delicious coffee, and genuinely friendly service. I'm really glad we found Sweet Bean, and it's definitely a place we'll be coming back to.

My eggs Benedict, as pictures below, was really good. Josh, our server was very nice. The ambiance: inside was darkly lit.

My only nit pick note and warning for those reading: when asking for water...be very specific and ask for tap or else you WILL be CHARGED $2.03 for a bottle of water that you can buy for cheap at 7/11. My friend and I weren't specific. But the principal still stands...dont just assume we want bottled water. Either ask or let us know that yall only do bottled water.

But I felt super comfortable at this restaurant. Fortunately, I was there when it was slow and the young girl behind the counter really helped me with the menu and then helped me with some possible changes I was gonna have to make. I got the smashed chickpea and avocado sandwich. I also got one of their coffees. The restaurant is super clean, the staff was super helpful and kind and the food was excellent. It gave me hope for my future in eating out. even with the high costs of eating out today, it was still priced decently.

Seating inside is very limited, so this chilly morning wasn't ideal to sit and eat, but before our food was ready a table opened up and the owner thoughtfully brought us an extra chair to squeeze in. And the owner? She's a vibe. Big energy all day. Food was excellent and so was the coffee - don't sleep on this place!

Came on a weekday morning - most people ordered ahead for pickup but we ordered on site and it took a few minutes so definitely be patient. We just got drinks - the shaken espresso with protein powder and the flexpresso shake. Both were delish and filling! I loved the flexspresso, not sure where else you can get something like this - it was a protein smoothie with flax and chia seeds plus espresso! Absolutely delish, not too sweet, and held me over til lunch. Really nice staff, they told us all their food has the ingredients clearly listed, no additional additives so you know it's fresh! There are a few chairs but it's mostly grab and go. I'd definitely come back to try their other stuff!

Just do it and do it at the café. Inside the café is access to the DAAS Gallery, where you can stroll while your order is being prepared. I rate this place as 10, so I'm 5 x 2. It's owned by artists, run by artists, and locals. It's not a restaurant, it's a café. Service can slow down when it's busy; they get lines like all other cafes. An awesome café, and it's your café.

We spent time walking around looking at all the artwork while waiting for our food, and there was a lot to see. They also had a big selection of seasonal specials, which was fun. I ordered the Island Vibes Punch, which was supposed to have coconut, pineapple, and matcha. I was expecting something more like a piña colada with matcha, but it ended up being really citrus-heavy and honestly kind of strange, not in a good way either. Two people in our group ordered it, and both drinks actually tasted different from each other. The food took a while to come out, probably around 20-30 minutes, but the staff was super nice and apologized several times. The food itself was okay. My sandwich could have used more filling because parts of it were mostly just bread. Overall, I'm glad we went because it was a cool experience and a fun place to explore, but it's probably not somewhere I'd go back to regularly.
