This cafe is located by the entrance to Forsyth park and makes for a great stop before walking in the park. They have an interesting menu along with the usual coffee shop selections. Generally, everything here is well priced and the service here is very quick. The cafe also offers seating if you need to sit and work or read a book. We had the apple berry tea, mango flavored italian soda, and lemonade. The tea and italian soda were very good, not sweet, and made for a nice drink. But the lemonade was too sweet for me. read more

You can improve the presentation of the food, how it's plated and how it's cooked. You can't even get a vegan power bowl right w/mushy quinoa and all the components mixed with the quinoa. Never coming back. read more

Busy place, but the line went really quick! Staff were very friendly but I'm knocking it down a few stars because I did not like my coffee. I got a caramel iced latte and It tasted a little bit of water down unfortunately. read more

Really bad. $9 for biscuits and gravy, it was one single biscuit cut in half and it was simply really bad tasting as well, and I'm not picky at all. I had to return it. Also the staff were very rude before returning my food, they acted like I was bothering them when I asked for a sauce that was supposed to come with my meal. Food was bad, expensive, extremely small portion... I can deal with rude employees if you at least get what you pay for, but this was beyond a rip off and didn't even taste good. The atmosphere was ok, very "we have different cups and plates/don't care" kind of place. I hate leaving bad reviews, hopefully it keeps someone from having bad experience. read more

We loved the Sentient Bean and it's such a cool and cute coffee shop right by the park. The food came pretty timely on a Sunday morning and the lines were pretty nonexistent. Would recommend for anyone looking for coffee and grub by the park. Vegan options too! read more

I was excited for a plant based breakfast spot before we left town, left disappointed. The staff is "pleasant" enough but would not be confused for welcoming or solicitous. I'm pretty sure the iced latte was just iced coffee with cream, especially considering how quickly it came out. The vegan breakfast burrito was edible but nothing to seek out and seriously, what kind of breakfast place does not have ketchup?? Strangely they do not allow pets inside and are also very strict about where you should line up to order (when you're the only one in line) but completely fine with a half dressed non patron occupying the only bathroom for a solid 25 minutes. Do yourself a favor, walk around the corner to Alexander's Bistro, they have a vegan option and a very friendly staff. Bathrooms appeared to be reserved for those eating in the restaurant as well. read more

How good is this place? Good enough to go back and buy 8 desert breads, Vegan banana nut, blueberry, s'more, brownies. Delicious. Lunch and the cold brew was top notch. Great service and a nice atmosphere barring a squeaky door. read more

Nice coffee shop near Forsyth Park. We had 20 oz lattes and a couple breakfast items. The lattes were nicely done and the feta and herb scone was a perfect savory bite. The peach bar was also really tasty. Line moved quickly and we had our coffees in just a few minutes. Chill atmosphere with works by local artists around. There is a patio in the back and a lot of table seating indoors. Bathroom is a little strange. It seems like it started off with a graffiti inspired mural by a local artist then morphed into your traditional bathroom graffiti wall. read more

Not great, not good. We tried the peach tea and the raspberry matcha with almond milk -- both were bland and lacked any real flavor or purpose. The cheese quesadilla was decent, but honestly, if you can find another spot, go there instead. This one's not worth it. And the ambiance was blah! Two stars for the quesadilla and the girl that helped us was sweet. read more

Terrible food that tastes despicable. Service is nice however.. It's a shame what they're serving you is poop in a cup. Don't get the mocha and for SURE don't get the quesadilla. read more

I really wanted to like this place. The espresso was the bitterest I can remember in years. Like, if I had blind taste tested it I would have guessed it was from Starbucks. The bagel with egg took a super long time during a non-busy time, and when I got it, it was barely toasted, bland, and the eggs were super greasy. read more

Coffee was great, Nice atmosphere and pretty busy but the line moved fast. Ordered the banana walnut slice and it was good. However it was cold and I would have liked it better heated in a microwave but didn't see one and they seemed too busy to ask. read more

really cool spot to hit before going out in the park. The drinks are really sweet, but the staff was super accommodating . Next time. I will probably ask for a little less sweetness. They also had a humongous breakfast menu with lots of accommodations for vegan vegetarian and gluten-free. read more

Great spot right off Forsyth Park courts area... traditional style coffee house that has good quality coffee as well as great veggie fare. The omelet is quality & doesn't set you back at around $7 bucks for a few toppings Pro tip - their backyard patio (pictured) may be one of the most underrated spots to chill out in all of Savannah Good vibes from the staff make this a desirable place read more

Sentient Bean - Back patio - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Savannah, Georgia

Coffee was luke warm on 3 different mornings and tastes like it's watered down and I drink it black. Pretty bad. Also service is awful. The same guy was wearing a tank top 2 sizes too small one morning and a dickies overalls one piece another day. He was a grumpy guy who didn't seem like he wanted to be there. Can't possibly go back after being disappointed 3 times. read more

Casual, comfortable coffee spot. The drinks themselves are good, not great. It was the only coffee shop that open early in the area on Sunday morning but it was not my favorite coffee by any means. read more

Decent. Had cold brew and an iced latte. Reminds me of Starbucks. Cafe is kid friendly and less expensive then most coffee shops read more

Sentient Bean - Walnut brownie and ice latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Savannah, Georgia

I wish I could give this place a better rating because they have a great location near Forsyth park but I would not recommend coming here. First off, this is a vegan café so there are no meat options. Secondly, the cashier had G-string panties on which were visible and came off as unsanitary to me if she pulls them up throughout the day. Coffee was mid - at least it was cheap though. Their lattes might be better but due to the uncomfortable seating and better coffee shop options available I probably WONT be coming back. So sorry! I'll be happy if I hear things change. read more

Friendly service greeted me, and the line proved helpful so that I could peruse their large chalkboard menu. The Quiche du Jour with cheddar, black beans and chipotle - yes, please. It was tasty, hot and needed salt. My medium roast coffee hit the spot. Would I return? Yes, if it was convenient! This busy spot has an industrial, cavernous, garage feel with eclectic artwork dangling from a picture rail. There's some counter type seating along the windows and 2 and 4 top tables. A thorough interior pressure washing would go a long way here - if only there were floor drains. read more

A great little coffee shop and cafe across from Forsyth Park. Free parking nearby, tasty drinks and good food. We stopped in on a weekday morning to caffeinate as we planned our day. The basic drip coffee was good and got the job done. I also got a vegetarian breakfast burrito which really hit the spot. We sat outside on the back patio to slowly and deliciously start our day before exploring the city. I would absolutely return here and it is nicely situated across from a tourist highlight so you'll likely be nearby if you are visiting Savannah. read more

Coffee was mediocre and the food was nothing to report about. Breakfast burrito took a while to come out of the kitchen.

Visited Sentient Bean this afternoon for two coffees and staff were less then friendly, no greeting, no thank you....u like we went to another coffee shop this morning, Mate Factor Cafe, and the staff were night and day different....so incredibly friendly and grateful for visiting. read more

I was headed to the store next door and this coffee shop caught my attention. It was so packed on a Thursday at like 10 am. I had to go in and check it out. It's a cute little place. There are lots of places to sit and hang out for a while. There are a few seats outside as well. One of the employees told me all the cups, lids etc are all biodegradable. I thought that was pretty cool. I didn't feel the lid was flimsy or less than like some products like that can be. I ordered a chai tea and a croissant. The chai tea was okay. I think it maybe needed to be mixed a bit more. I may try it again. The croissant was amazing. It was light and buttery, just like you want your croissant to be. They have a whole display case of treats so I am coming back to try something new. I ordered a cappuccino and a croissant for my daughter and she loved it. I love finding a new coffee shop to frequent. It's right beside Forsyth Park. read more

Nice local spot on the south side of Forsyth Park and seems like a great space to plop down and work (definitely a few people with laptops working). Also has a outdoor back patio. Americano and breakfast burrito were just okay. Burrito was pretty bland, but the salsa it came with helped with that. Maybe would have been better had the green been cooked in with the eggs? Quiche was excellent! Wish it was bigger. Overall just okay! read more

If you have anything to complain about this place it's because you have spent your life living like the queen of England. Everywhere in America should be run like this place. Complimentary water faucet, healthy food at extremely affordable prices, good coffee/matcha whatever and at a beautiful location that could be ripping you off. Peak southern behavior (I am from Savannah so I am picky). Thank u beans we love you read more

This is clearly where the cool local people come for breakfast. Many were working on laptops, having meetings or getting food to go. I was a tourist who was walking the park system and needed a quick breakfast. I got the b'omlette which was $5.50 plus a hibiscus tea. Both super good. The eggs came out in like 3 min and was brought to the table. I waited and wondered what to do about getting my tea. No one told me how it was coming. I looked at the counter on the end and wondered if I would find it there. I walked over and there it was. The young lady said nothing to me nor did she announce teas that were ready. Not sure how this could be created. I found hot sauce behind the salsa container after I was almost done. It seemed to be the cute design on my plate I think for &5.50 they could have provided bread since it was just two eggs Gender neutral bathroom that was not the cleanest..... read more

We came in primarily for coffee, since our Airbnb host failed to provide some in our first morning in Savannah after flying in late the night before. We were nicely attended after a short queue line. We both ordered 20 ounce hot Café lattes, and I also ordered their cheese omelette, and a slice peach cake and a slice of their sunflower bar, the last one to go. Really good coffee, delivered to our table just a few minutes later. I devoured the cheese omelette, which was quite tasty, and we shared the peach cake. We left quite satisfied, as renewed sentient beings! read more

Perfect location to grab a snack and some fresh coffee. Service was ok and they got our orders correct. If you are near Forsyth & craving a little caffeine this place can fix it. There is also a little patio where your pooch is welcome. read more

This bagel was divine. The cheese adds a melty richness that complements the eggs, it melted into nooks and crannies of the eggs, creating a gooey, flavorful cohesion that elevates the sandwich beyond the sum of its parts. Sentient bean really seems to know how to cater to those who appreciate breakfast staples done right, without overcomplicating flavors. read more

Sentient Bean - Sesame seed bagel sandwich - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Savannah, Georgia

Person taking our order did not seem to be paying attention. Rang my partner and I up separately even though we told her we were together. The counter person asked for a name for order. We sat down to wait for our drinks. My partners drink was called out not by his name but by his order. There were two drinks on the counter. We waited and waited and one point one of the baristas gestured to the drinks in a rude way. I approached the counter and asked if one of the drinks were mine. She said yeah it's the lemonade of the day. I ordered an iced tea. I was confused and expressed that, but was just stared at. Very uncomfortable interaction. read more

Dropped in after jogging around Forsyth Park. Any place that sells breakfast all day is my jam! They also have quesadillas, salads, sandwiches, wraps and other snacks. Vegan options: breakfast burrito, breakfast taco, BBQ tofu wrap (didn't ask about the slaw so double check), sweet potato rice bowl. There are a few more items that you can ask about as well. I opted for the vegan breakfast burrito. Tofu scrambled, house "sausage", black beans, spinach and spicy mayo. Served with a side of house salsa, which seemed like more of a pick to me. The dish was good!! I would have loved more mayo but the salsa helped! And there was some type of spicy sauce on my plate that had "Hi!" written out. It was a good portion and very filling. I also ordered the blueberry mint, sooo good. read more

Had breakfast here with a few friends on a recent trip to Savannah. The staff were friendly and inviting and the vibe inside felt inclusive and welcoming. The iced latte I ordered was great and served in a compostable cup -- which is a win for the environment! Kudos to you, Sentient Bean! The oatmeal was just okay, lacking quite a bit of flavor overall, but then again it is just oatmeal... maybe if was topped with a nut other than unsalted cashews? Overall a nice spot for grabbing coffee and food with a chill atmosphere. Plenty of tables for sitting and working or conversing. Lots of other food options available including vegan baked goods and breakfast sandwiches and burritos. read more

Superb location at end of Forsyth! Great prices compared to the big chain coffee stops. Atmosphere Bar like atmosphere. Perfectly targeted to SCAD student community. Coffee shop music playing in background. Prices Excellent prices for quality coffee as compared to the large coffee chains. Coffee While they have a huge selection of single origin beans. They only had one brewed. Today was a Sumatra which isn't my favorite. I'd love to see them who see more coffee and even offer single brews in a Chemex or pour-over. Enjoyable coffee experience! read more

The coffee was good, skip the chai. The staff was very friendly. I liked the vegan wrap but panini was a bit hard for my liking. I was a bit hungry, hence I don't have pictures. So I think I would have liked anything and yet I didn't like the panini. But good choice of vegan options. Their T-shirts are good and cheap, incase you need an extra or want their merch. I had to get one due to an emergency spill, not from the coffee but an icecream waffle cone at another place :-) read more

Surprising find while coming out of the natural food store next door. Super excited that they serve breakfast ALL DAY as it was almost 4:30pm when I stumbled in. Plenty of indoor seating (four tops and some bar seating) and there's also an outdoor patio. Love that there's a plethora of vegan options. Ordered the vegan breakfast burrito and a mint brownie to go, service was quick and both were pretty good, however, the salsa that comes with the burrito is very lack luster. Excellent house made chai!!! Only one bathroom for everyone... and it wasn't clean... bummer. read more

Sentient Bean is by far one of my favorite coffee shops! The staff are always extremely friendly, and you get free Wi-Fi, which is a huge plus. The coffee and teas are amazing and very affordable, just like their delicious food. I especially love the soup d'jour and the Pump the Protein salad. What makes this place even more special is how they support local artists. I had the opportunity to showcase my work there for a month, and it was such a fantastic experience. Sentient Bean is truly a gem for art lovers and coffee enthusiasts alike! read more
