    Picked this place based on the reviews and it did not disappoint. I really liked the variety of drip coffee options and our server, Jacob who took was very friendly and made the experience even better. The food was good, especially the slow roast Bouncer's Benedict, which was the highlight of the meal. Definitely a spot I'd come back to next time I'm in Tallahassee.

    Cinnamon roll, pancake, and buffalo Bill omelette

    Saturday morning I was able to be seated within five minutes and with very polite service. The restaurant is small and cozy. The food portions are big enough for me to have breakfast again on Sunday.

    Met a friend here for brunch. Had eaten here a while back and enjoyed it, but just hadn't been back, mainly because it is on the other side of town from where I live. We had about a 20-minute wait time, but that was fine. We spent the time chatting as we waited. We were asked if we wanted to sit inside or outside, but due to the humidity, we chose to dine inside! LOL! My friend ordered quiche, with home fries. I had the Tin Pan Alley dish, along with cheese grits. Though I would have preferred my grits a bit creamier, they were still good. We enjoyed the meal - and the fellowship. The Bada Bean is not especially spacious inside, but the service is great and the food is tasty. Love the laid-back, down-home vibes. Will definitely try to come more often! Note, though I am not big on sweets, when I came a while back with my husband, he ordered the cinnamon roll pancakes and absolutely loved them. So folks, be sure to try those!

    Alan's Wrap

    Sit outside for cool weather and breakfast at Bada Bean. Enjoy the hearty Alan's Wrap and Tallahassee morning coffee. Service is hospitable and fairly timed.

    Stopped there because the name was unique and it had good ratings. It's a local and very casual restaurant that doesn't have a lot of seating inside. We got there around 9:00a which we were seated right away, but by the time we were ready to leave there was a wait. The food was delicious and you can serve your own coffee which they had different strengths catering to your taste. I love medium to dark roast, so try their special blend...yummy! This place is worth the try.

    Yummy quiche!
    Sasmin S.

    The food was sooooo good. It tasted like it was homemade with love. The cinnamon roll was so yummy I can't stop thinking about it. The quiche was scrumptious and the fruit bowl that came with it was if each piece of fruit was handpicked to give me the best and sweetest fruit. The service was wonderful and the teamwork was if they actually had each other's and the customer's best interests in mind. Highly recommend visiting this cute café!

    Crab cake eggs benedict.
 Outstanding.

    I ate there once while in town for a meeting. I had crab cake eggs benedict and it was simply outstanding. The potatoes were also very good. The waitress was great. Be warned, this place ain't pretty, but it sure is homey. Comfortable. I will most assuredly eat there again when in Tallahassee.

    "Egg"cellent breakfast ideas.

    Do they take reservations?

    Sadly no

    Do they have any vegan breakfast options?

    As far as I know everything's either with eggs or buttermilk or both. At a minimum. They offer salads, veggie and fruit. Maybe give them a call and see if they could make the pancakes with a different type of milk? I know they offer almond milk for…

When we came in there was no table available. Server tried to prepare a table in room to the right. He failed to do that. Then we got seated in a middle of cafe. After 15 minutes we were asked to go sit at the booth table because they have a bigger party coming. We waited for a food for about an hour. In a mean time waitress kept coming to ask are we doing ok,.lol Our table was next to the bathroom and we heard waitress talking amongst themselves about what they found in one of the stalls. Then customers next to us were asked to stand up, as apparently their seat is a bench and staff is storing bleach bottles in those benches. So 2 older ladies had to get up so staff can retrieve bottle of bleach from under their seat. Food was nothing but mediocre and simple mocktail cost $14 at lunch time. Too bad that we had such a horrible experience. This place does look cute in a pictures.

Of late we have had some success getting here during their lunch hours which has reminded me of just how good they are. The menu changes some pretty regularly so there are new ideas to try over time. There also are dishes that have stood the test of time that will always be present. The rainbow trout is one of those and you will never go wrong ordering that. Always delicious. Otherwise have at the several choices that may appeal to your taste. I doubt that you won't like it. The location is a converted mini market. I am remembering that the first restaurant conversion was a classic diner that was good for breakfast but Kool Beanz has been here for a long time and thriving. Some of the best seats in the house can actually be on a stool at the counter watching the chefs ply their trade. There's an additional large dining room at the end of the building and they have created a nice outdoor space as well. What may be hard to come by when they are busy is a parking space. Service has always been friendly and attentive. Prices are reasonable considering the creativity that is involved. You will pay more at dinner which is why we love to catch them at lunch.
