First time visiting The Bada Bean for brunch. I got the meat lover omelette with raisin bread toast and a side of fruit. The meal was delicious. I would get this dish again!The staff was wonderful, friendly and accommodating. The hazel nut coffee is the best I've had in town. I will definitely be back and hope to meet the owner Wendy. read more

My absolute favorite breakfast restaurant in all of Tallahassee! The iced coffee is delicious and their breakfast skillets are to die for. The decor is super cute and homey as well, its a nice little spot to treat yourself to good food and a great atmosphere read more

This is an update to a review I did three months ago. I'd like to add even more positive feedback on the Bada Bean. Earlier today, I had the opportunity to eat at another place in Tallahassee that provides similar food to Bada Bean (breakfast, brunch & lunch), and I was reminded why the food at Bada Bean is so good. First, the menu selections are awesome. Second, and this was the big difference, the food at the Bada Bean is always piping hot. For instance, at this other location the home fries were just warm. At the Bada Bean, they are always piping hot, fresh from the fryer. It's those little things that make this place special. I strongly encourage you to enjoy the food at the Bada Bean, but save my special high-top table for me! read more

While in Tallahassee with my son during FSU Freshman Orientation, my other son, a senior at FSU introduced us to this charming breakfast joint. The staff was friendly and attentive. They have a serve yourself coffee station which I liked a lot. I could choose from a variety of flavors. My son ordered the cinnamon roll pancakes which were delicious! I could only eat a few bites because of the sweetness, but extremely tasty! read more

If you're ever close by around breakfast time, this place is a must! We ate breakfast here about 6 years ago. The food was great, but we loved the coffee even more! My wife and I easily had 3-4 cups each. We checked to see if we could buy their coffee and take some home, or buy it online, but could not. I was searching for the name of this place recently because it came up in the course of conversation. Yes 6 years later we are still talking about the great breakfast place that had the awesome coffee! Anyway, I totally stumbled upon it on accident. So glad! Can't wait to go back. read more

Good food but too expensive. I do like the food here but you pay 11 plus bucks for an omelet. This is why you just can't beat the Waffle House. read more

Amazing place for breakfast/brunch! I get the skinny cow latte each time I go!! The place is always packed so be ready to wait a little bit, but other than that they have great service and food! read more

We love this place!! My husband and I have been going here for years. It feels like your in your mom's kitchen from the fresh cooked food to the friendly service. I love breakfast all day and my husband prefers to have lunch at a normal hour, so we love that it has both! read more

This place is amazing. The flavor profile they put together with each meal makes my mouth water. We ordered three plates to try a few things. Not to mention their coffees are to die for. I'd recommend this place to anyone BUT keep in mind since everything is made ridiculously fresh you will wait 20-30 minutes for your food to come out. But the wait is worth it. read more

Let's just say amazing brunch! So many selections. Paleo, Keto and for the Carb lover. You cannot go wrong. Great service and tasty food. Highly recommend! read more

This is a great breakfast place. The home fries are the best I've ever had and I like that we can sample all the coffees as much as we want. All of that being said, on Sunday, May 12th, I was dismayed to see the boss or manager speak rudely to the employees loudly in front of customers. They were scolded various times while I was sitting eating my breakfast...three times to be exact for different reasons. The manager appeared stressed maybe because it was Mother's Day and the crowd was large. I just feel that a private talk to individual workers would be more appropriate. I rarely write reviews but his treatment of them was bothersome. read more

Three Words: Cinnamon Roll Pancakes. Best Breakfast in town. This is probably the only place I ordered from during the virus. I'll support them no matter what read more

A little far to get a quick bite if you live closer to campus but worth the drive to have brunch with friends! They do get busy but I would never believe their hostess's wait time. They told us 45 minutes and I've never had to wait longer than 20! I was having a desperate craving for eggs Benedict and stopped by with some friends. My friend and I shared the traditional eggs Benedict and the crab cake eggs Benedict special! Definitely satisfied my craving but I did think it was a little overpriced for what you get. It could be just the area and I'm not used to the prices here in Tallahassee because back home I could have ordered the same thing and received a bigger portion for 3 to 4 dollars cheaper. It would be nice if they could cook the Canadian bacon a little bit longer as mine was undercooked. I just know for next time to ask and don't get me wrong it was delicious anyway! If you're a fan of crabcake I would suggest trying their special as my friend I loved hers! I found out that I'm not really a fan of crabcake so next time I'll just stick with the traditional! I also had one of their lattes! They have many sugar free options, if that's something your interested in. I had their sneakers hot latte, my friend had their hazelnut iced and my other friend had the vanilla iced all sugar free and let me tell you, you wouldn't believe it was sugar free by the taste! They were all delicious! Usually when you get a hot drink you have to wait for it to cool down but I'm not sure what kind of magic they're working back there but the temperature I received my latte was absolutely perfect and I did not have to wait to dive in! Can't wait to try their other breakfast items! read more

We rely on Yelp users to point out good places to eat. We really liked Bada Bean for breakfast. My husband enjoyed the homemade corned beef hash with eggs and hollandaise on top. I had an omelet with spinach, chicken. bacon and other deliciousness. We arrived at about 8:30 am on a Thursday morning and were seated right away. they filled up soon after so I suggest you arrive early. Coffee is self-serve at a bar. Other reviewers were not in favor of that but my husband didn't seem to mind, and he got exactly what he wanted. The food was delicious and we would return again if in the area. The cheesy gangster theme could go, though. read more

I love this place so much, the best breakfast in Tallahassee, they need a location closer to me!! Their portion sizes are very large, so you definitely get a good deal. Some breakfast isn't good leftover so I somewhat wish they just charged less for smaller portions. But I get something different every time I come and haven't been disappointed yet. They always have like 5-6 different coffees out. The decor is awesome (1950s mafia stuff) and the servers are always very nice. Weekend brunch times will have a very long wait sometimes, though. read more

Excellent place to eat! First time here and I would recommend it to anyone! The coffee is amazing delicious. Service is excellent! I had Joeys Omelette I'm sure anything on the menu is really good! read more

This is a great restaurant!! We've had breakfast there a couple of times and everyone has loved it! They definitely get packed to where there is a line of people waiting to get in (telltale sign of good food). The staff is amazing, very fast and efficient, I even saw a waiter actually putting the cream in a Women's coffee and stirring it for her, too bad she didn't have the decency to thank him! Anyway I'd higher recommend, as it has become a family favorite when visiting our daughter in Tallahassee! read more

Wow was this place awesome! So incredible. Great Lucky Goat coffee as well. We will definitely be back!! read more

Went to this place for breakfast . Quick service and excellent food. We had bacon, eggs, cheese grits, biscuits, corned beef, home fries. Everything was very good! read more

Bada Bean is the best place in Tally for breakfast/brunch (in my opinion). The specials are ever changing and the extensive menu never fails to please. What I love most about this place is that it is family owned and operated. And boy oh boy it is operated very well. The service is fantastic. The food is everything. You can legitimately tell the difference between the heart and soul that goes into the cooking vs a commercialised business. My favorite things here are the Body Guard, the Philly!, and Pedro's Fiesta, though I haven't had anything I haven't loved. If you're looking for good, wholesome food with a home cooked taste, Bada Bean is the place! read more

One of my girlfriends favorite places to go. To be fair, it's nothing unique, or maybe I just haven't found that one special item that makes me "have" to come back. That being said, it's a great neighborhood breakfast joint. Weekends are busy, so expect to wait 10-20 minutes for a table. Nothing crazy. The parking situation leaves much to be desired. There are other business in the 25 odd parking space lot, so weekends can present that issue as well. The food is good. Absolutely a step up from your typical IHOP etc. Service during the week is good. On weekends you can tell the servers are over breakfast crowd by about 11am. Overall the menu selection is vast and the quality is on par with the price if not better. Word to the wise, if visiting on a weekday call a head to make sure they are still open. While the hours of operation say, "open till 3pm" I've pulled up to a closed store at 2:15 more than once. For that reason it's 4 stars instead of 5. read more

The Garden Skillet is heaven in my mouth. The servers even gave me extra avocado once. (I love you.) They serve Lucky Goat coffee which adds to the wonderful breakfast experience here. The food, the service, and the restaurant feels like a meal at home (if my mom knew how to cook, but you get the point). read more

Had a great breakfast here while visiting FSU. Fantastic coffee and the Elvis French Toast was really, really good! Highly recommended if you are in the area! read more

The BEST!!! This place is the closest you're going to find, at sampling any of the Food Network type, original recipes! The owner makes all kinds of MASTERPIECES in the kitchen. Favorites stay, but new creations come often and are always amazing! A MUST TASTE PLACE!! read more

It's fast and the food is delicious. The service and servers are respectful also. I enjoy eating there with KoKina. She's and amazing supervisor. read more

I hadn't been to Bada Bean in years, and it was long overdue. If I remember correctly, it used to be more of a coffee shop, but I may be wrong. Today I had a full breakfast that consisted of its plate called "The Bodyguard." This dish brings two eggs, a side, and a generous portion of their homemade corned beef hash. Utterly delicious. For dessert I had their cinnamon roll pancake, which is as delectable as the name implies. And here's one thing that I absolutely love about this place: you can actually order a single freakin' pancake à la carte! It's a HUGE pet peeve of mine when you go to a breakfast restaurant and you are forced to order a stack of two, three or four pancakes when all you want is one damned pancake! So this is a plus for this place. The coffee was good and plentiful, and I like their coffee bar style, where you just get a mug and help yourself to as many cup-o-joes as you want. The ambiance was pleasant, and surprisingly full for a Friday morning, which is testament to the quality and price of this place. I'll certainly be back for more. read more

How have I not written a review for Bada Bean yet?! Bada Bean is definitely my go to brunch spot in Tallahassee. It's a family run business, and that is evident from the food you eat to the service you receive. Everything about Bada feels like home, but with a creative twist on some of the old classics. It's evident that they are very passionate about the food they serve. One of my favorite parts of Bada Bean is their coffee bar. With an assortment of coffee flavors and roasts made possible by locally owned, Lucky Goat. On weekends, they frequently have a wait of about 30 minutes, but feel free to ask for a cup of coffee while you wait. I've had a few different things from their menu: the bird shot, body guard and my favorite, the country fried steak. Everything has been delicious and fresh. Keep an eye out for their specials! This place is humble, delicious, and what they do, they do very well! read more

Absolutely love this place! Have gone for years and the food is great, and so is the customer service. Long wait on weekends, but that's every brunch place in Tally. Try their crab cakes Benedict! read more

I've been going to Bada Bean for over 6 years. I love this place, but man has the quality declined in recent months. Their cinnamon rolls used to be my favorite, but the past 4-5 times I've ordered them they are so dry and barely have any icing. Ugh. Why skimp on the icing? read more

This place is such a lovely little local gem!!! My absolute favorite breakfast item is the simple Bacon, Egg, & Cheese on a croissant. The croissant is the perfect mix of flaky, buttery, goodness. The bacon is always cooked to perfection as well. My husband has tried many of their breakfast items and is always satisfied. The restaurant is quaint and the super friendly staff always make us feel welcome. read more

My boyfriend and I have an extreme love hate relationship with Bada Bean. We have been coming here for the last two years for almost every weekend but are convinced that we have just gotten ourselves into an abusive relationship with this place. The Good- The food is absolutely amazing!!! Their hollandaise sauce is fantastic and you have to try a cinnamon roll pancake, you won't regret it. The atmosphere is nice and the place is obviously tasty since the wait time is ALWAYS 20-30 minutes. The Bad- The service is poor. Always slow and about 8 out of 10 times something is incorrect on the order. Some of the servers are fine but very caring but others are awful and take forever. I would give this place 5/5 on food and 1/5 on service. You always wait about 30 minutes to be seated so one would hope that the service would be quick and efficient! Whatever, we're still coming here every weekend ;) overall, don't come here if you're in a rush but if you have some time, it's mostly worth it! read more

They make really good breakfast. I have tried few different things and all of them were really good. Probably one of the best breakfast place in town. read more

Lemonade tastes like shit and farts when i swallow it i got veggies and eggs and they literally dipped it in a gallon of syrup it was so sticky read more

Great food! Great service! Reasonable prices and our food arrived quickly and correctly. Our drinks were kept at least halfway full at all times. We would definitely recommend this place. read more

I have been to Bada Bean a couple of times now for brunch and I will say this, it is worth the wait. It isn't my favorite place in town, but when I want a laid back environment for brunch and don't mind people seeing me in my sweats for breakfast, this is the place to be. People like their flavored coffee and pancakes. I have to be the only nut that goes for the omelettes. They are huge, well prepared and delicious. I will now also go for the lattes because they are delicious. Probably the only thing hat stops this from being my favorite place is that I do not like their pancakes. When I had them in the past they weren't light or fluffy or flavorful, it was actually a pretty bland pancake. I'm just gonna say, everyone has a abd day every now and again and so i'll try them again and see what happens. read more
