Bada Bean is one of the best spots to eat breakfast in TLH. Why? The food is good, the coffee selection/quality is unbeatable, and the staff are really lovely. They have a $3 Early Bird special of 2 eggs, a side, and toast served before 8:45 am on weekdays that can't be beaten. I don't know that I have a regular order here, but I really enjoy the Bird Shot, Country Fried Steak, Corned Beef Hash, Cinnamon Roll Pancakes (get one as an appetizer to share!), their home fries, and their skillets that come with a base of home fries. Great local establishment that can draw a crowd on home game weekends. read more

I went here with my friends for breakfast. I got country fried steak and chicken soup. Their soups were so light and delicious. My entree was good. Wish the fries were a bit crispier. The staff was super nice. The owner gave us free scone samples. They were so delicious and moist. Great diner! read more

The Bada Bean is a cute hidden gem frequented by mostly Tallahassee locals. They offer a vast array of sandwiches, American breakfast classics, and some well-decorated griddle specials for your sweet tooth. The indoor and outdoor seatings were both pleasing to look at but made for a rushed serving experience from the waiter. Note this was a Saturday morning, the busiest possible time for a brunch spot. I ordered the meat quiche and it was delicious, but a bit smaller than I would've liked. read more

Food was excellent fresh and tasted as it sounded like on menu. Was glad my youngest adult daughter recommended we go here before my long drive home. I got the avocado toast with bacon and she got the cinnamon pancakes which I tasted and was Delicious! read more

I got the Benedict. The hash was obviously from a can. Too salty and mushy. The hollandaise sauce was pretty bland. I ordered a fresh fruit cup. $3.59 for 16 blueberries and a single strawberry sliced thin. Overall, a pretty bland meal. Overpriced. The waitstaff was quite friendly though and did a great job. read more

One of the best brunch/breakfast joints in town, for a good reason! The food is definitely worth it. I loved my last meal, the Eggs Arnold, with a Cinnamon Roll on the side and a cup of coffee. Both were incredible and exactly what I wanted! I've previously ordered dishes like a Veggie Lover's Wrap (delicious) as I'm not usually up for a big meal in the morning. Every order I've seen go by here looks wonderful though and I hope to eventually work through the entire menu someday just to try them all. Overall, Bada Bean deserves its reputation as one of the best brunch/breakfast joints in town and I'll be continuing to visit! read more

We ordered the Avocado Toast, and now feeling nauseated. You can see from photo it isn't fresh Avo, more like a mix for guacamole instead. The balsamic drizzle is a dressing, so if your expecting balsamic drizzle, don't. I love avocado toast and it was disappointing, so unfortunately being sick right now I had to comment. Other food looked appealing, and coffee is just okay. Servers were lovely. No complaints there. read more

The Bada Bean - One piece of toast, $7, add bacon $2.50, and balsamic comes on this plastic cup. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Tallahassee, Florida

The service was a little slow considering they were slow at the time. My omelet had too much sausage in it compared to the eggs. Husband said his eggs Benedict were worth the wait to be served. My latte was too sweet (and I like mine sweet). It's a typical cafe atmosphere. read more

During the covid pandemic we have been looking for places that will do curbside. Bada Bean was asking people to come inside to pick up, something I was not comfortable doing with people sitting inside without masks. I'm pleased to say that, at least as of this weekend, they note offer curbside and contactless payment. We ordered from their website using Biteheist (note that their standalone app, also by biteheist, oddly didn't list all of the items that they have). We did a Gangsta Omelette and a Tin Lizzy omelette. You can pay online. Once you arrive, call them and they will bring the order to your car. Note that every server that I saw was wearing a mask. The omelets were hot when I got home and were delicious. I'm so glad they are now doing contactless! read more

This is one of the best breakfast/brunch spots in Tallahassee and I always go when I have the time. They are closed every Tuesday which is unfortunately one of the only days I have happened to be able to go lately. They have some very personable servers who elevate the experience and make you feel at home. Unfortunately since the menu has changed, they have gotten rid of some of my favorite lattes and omelette but it has made me branch out and find things I like equally as much! read more

I highly recommended this place before and I will continue to do so because they have great food and to say the least their cappuccinos are phenomenal! One of the main reasons we go there is for the great cappuccinos that they make. The owners of the place and all of the workers are very cordial and always have a smile on their face. The ambiance is very good very cozy great for families or just for couples or even if you're on a date. They are also extremely accommodating for people who are in America wheelchair/rollator. read more

My wife and I stoped in Banda Bean for brunch. Our server, Dana was kind and attentive. I was amazed at how busy they were. After we got our food, I understood why. I have the black bean burger, and my wife had cinnamon roll. We both had chi tea latte hot, it was outstanding. This place is worth stopping at again. read more

The Bada Bean - Not an easy place to spot. This is what you're looking for. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Tallahassee, Florida

I had to stop by this spot after seeing the plentiful reviews on yelp. This restaurant has a diner esque feel and serves some hearty eats. I looked through the photos and opted for an omelet instead of a skillet this time. The Shane's omelet was a combination of grilled chicken, red onions, bacon, and cheese nestled between a perfectly cooked omelet. I opted for the cheese grits instead of home fries, the grits were a little bland even though they had melted cheddar in them. Service is by a bunch of distracted college students, so I had to request many items even though I was the only person dining there. read more

I love when I can find a breakfast spot that caters to dietary restrictions! Had the most delicious sugar free decaf latte (mocha and hazelnut) and accompanied with Turkey sausage and perfectly cooked eggs, my meal was complete. The hubby had the delicious Pedro's dish and could only eat half of it. When in Tallahassee, we will be stopping back! read more

This is a true Tallahassee gem. Service is good, your food takes some time but it's worth the wait. Great for breakfast/brunch. The location is very intimate with great lighting. There is also outdoor seating. Over the weekend it gets packed but I've never had to wait for a table. During the week it's a cool place to study while having breakfast since it's not as fast paced. There are so many good things on the menu. You honestly can't go wrong. I suggest their red velvet pancakes (you won't need syrup) and southwest omelet. read more

My wife and I had a nice breakfast at The Bada Bean during a recent stop in Tallahassee. We started with the coffee bar, which featured unlimited pours of five local coffee options. To eat, I had the Country Skillet. This massive mound of savory seasoned roasted potatoes, crisp onions and peppers, meaty sausage, and creamy avocado was topped with yolky fried eggs and melted cheddar cheese. Overall, this was a quality filling breakfast. read more

The Bada Bean - Country Skillet - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Tallahassee, Florida

Easy parking and easy to find. We were visiting FSU and this is a good 5ish min drive from campus so more of a community strip mall feel rather than college campus restaurant. Place is very casual with serve yourself coffee. The shining star of this restaurant in the service! The young gal waiting on us was calm, attentive, anticipated our needs and just made the difference! If not for the service I'd be more focused on some of the meh food & probably wouldn't return, but because of her, I'd be willing to go back and give this place another try. Aside from the great service, the hot chocolate was good and skillet breakfast (aside from the unusually huge chunks of peppers/onions) was good. Loved that you could get avocado instead of bread. Would definitely NOT order the pecan grilled sausage again. It was like a big kielbasa with huge chunks of peppers/onions. Whomever is chopping those veggies needs to make some modifications. Most people don't love huge chunks of those in their veggies - pretty off putting. This place seems to fill up. Seat yourself when you get there & someone will be with you to take your order. read more

They were very busy when we went but everyone was helpful and kept us updated on our wait and the waitress was friendly and fast to help even with all the people that needed her help. The food was great, pancakes were mildly sweet and for me that make it so that I really didn't need a lot extra. The skillets ...wow I highly recommend. read more

My dad and I had a good breakfast at Bada Bean! The service was very accommodating and friendly, and the coffee bar was fun. It's nice that they serve local Lucky Goat coffee. I got the egg breakfast and my eggs were cooked perfectly and I really like my hashbrowns. My dad got an omelet and it was so huge he couldn't finish it all and ended up bringing half home. It was very reasonably priced too. I would go back here again. read more

Went to the Bada Bean again today and tried a new meal. "Birdshot" which is scrambled eggs, home fries, hollandaise sauce and chopped bacon, with toast points. Also tried the cinnamon roll. I enjoyed the Birdshot; the home fries were well seasoned, the eggs hot n fresh. It could've used more bacon and maybe peppers and onions in there, too, but very satisfying. read more

This place never disappoints. Food is delicious, staff is friendly and always on top of things. I love taking my visitors there to get the experience of home cooked breakfast. The place is small but that gives it a nice atmosphere. If you go with more than two people on a weekend day, after 8.30am, please be aware you have to wait some. But it will be worth it. For me, this place is the best breakfast place in town!!!! read more

The skillets are huge and delicious. The waitstaff are very sweet. Great breakfast and a reasonable price!

Had breakfast twice. Food is well prepared and tasty. It's different people and cooks from the last time I had gone about 3 years ago. Coffee is self serve which a bit of an inconvenience for disabled folks. I don't like the coffee. Pancakes and eggs are good. read more

Count me impressed. Eclectic and quality food. It was also interesting listening to law makers from Miami complain about Tallahassee...snobs! I've only been for breakfast but enjoyed it very much. The skillet was cooked perfectly and the over medium well eggs just right. Service was attentive. I'll be back next time I'm in Tally! read more

A warm mug greets you as you settle in at your table. How often does a mug come pre-warmed?!? The warm mug is empty and steps away from your table the coffee bar stocked with 5 different types of coffee to fill it. Coffee ranges from light to dark roast. Thankfully they offer almond milk (you have to ask for it) so i was able to have coffee! You pick what brew you desire and refill as often as you like. I love it. I got here 745 on a tuesday and i was the 3rd table, so no waiting for me. My server was awesome bc she was very knowledgeable about the menu and what could be substituted. She made sure i had plenty if water and was attentive but not harassing. I ordered the black window breakfast wrap. It came up quickly and correctly. Scrambled eggs and a large black bean protein patty with salsa and spinach. It was such a large and filling breakfast sandwhich, i had to get the other half wrapped in foil to go. A yummy healthy start to the day! I will def be back! read more

Great local breakfast and the staff were superb! Great mojo in here. Stopped in to grab a breakfast sandwich and a coffee. The vanilla cold brew is from heaven!!! I don't care if it's a cold day, it's Florida y'all, order a cold brew anyway. The breakfast sandwich was ample and had a nice amount of bacon. So good! I picked up a butterscotch cookie and it was so buttery and sweet, had a brown butter flavor that paired perfectly with the vanilla cold brew. Definitely stop in if you're in the neighborhood. Great place. read more

Good customer service, quick completion of to go order. A side of breakfast meat at most places is 1 or 2 pieces, The Bada Bean gave me 3 pieces of turkey sausage making it totally worth it! I pieced together a quick meal before work: sausage, egg whites and a biscuit. Simple but good! I would come back and try a specialty item when I'm in town again. read more

First time back since COVID last year, they've added plastic curtains to separate the tables! Feels very safe in this cozy little space. Also the layout is a tiny bit different and it feels like it flows much better now. Tables are still in the same spot but the coffee station moved and I like it. I still love the food here as always. Cute little local spot to come to in the morning :) read more

Bada Bean, Bada Boom! Honestly think Bada Bean is the best breakfast diner in Tallahassee. My Sunday routine usually consists of getting over caffeinated on some breakfast blend or Vanilla Ice coffee, then stuffing my face with a skillet and finishing it off with a cinnamon roll pancake. Then it's back home to slip into a deep, deep food coma. I changed it up this time and ordered the "Which Came First" (biscuits and gravy with fried chicken and a fried egg). So, so good. It's a new addition to the menu, which was nice to see. Bagel melts are good, eggs Benedict is great, when it comes to diner food, this is as good as it gets in Tallahassee - not to mention the cozy atmosphere and good service. Be prepared to wait a while on Sunday mornings, but the staff does the best they can. Also, they let you sip some coffee during the wait which is nice. read more

This is must try!!! There were tons of options and the items we had were fantastic!! The service was super fast and the staff were very friendly. I can see how it could get busy as the place is small. Please don't let its size scare you off! If I lived close, it would be my weekly staple. Our French toast and skillet would definitely be a repeat. Yum!!! read more

Great breakfast place. Nice selection of self-serve coffee. The hollandaise sauce on the benedicts was the best I've had. Service was very attentive and personable. read more

This is my favorite brunch spot in Tally. Highly recommend! I would totally go for dinner here as well if they were open past lunch, but I do get why they don't do that. I've been several times and every time I'm impressed in some way. Yesterday I tried the vanilla cold brew and it was so good I would literally go back just for that. Also got corned beef hash with eggs and cheese grits; food was hot and delicious. My friend got an omelette, home fries, and cinnamon roll and all were great. I saw a review from some time ago complaining that they didn't put much icing on their cinnamon roll and can confirm for y'all they've def fixed that issue, and that it's served warm. The patio seating is nice, so we always eat outside. They've got a couple fans out there and they'll give you water for your dog. The wait staff are always sweet; we came in about 45 minutes before closing and nobody made us feel rushed at all. I also feel like you get a really good value for your money. read more

Very Slow Service - But they provide coffee while you wait. We wanted over an hour to seat and waiting another 45/for food.

I love this place. It's on Apalachee Parkway and it's pretty popular. It has four or five kinds of coffee that you can get as you wish, lattes and cappuccinos you can order, anything you could want for breakfast just about, lunch dishes, specials, great service; My only complaint is the tiny parking lot, but I have always been able to find a space. In short, it is the perfect breakfast, brunch, or lunch place. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is because it doesn't seem like five stars and breakfast places go together :-) read more

Upon my YelpFlorida Instagram takeover I wanted to showcase some righteous breakfast eats here in Tallahassee. With Bada Bean's continual game-changing breakfast specials, I knew I'd have an outlet to highlight a very unique dish to Florida Yelpers. First off, I can't believe I've never written a review for Bada Bean! This place unanimously is a Tallahassee favorite. It's loved by all, so much so, you'll often find yourself waiting to find a seat. I've had everything from breakfast skillets to the Elvis cakes, but on this day I took a leap of faith with one of the specials - the Chicken Cacciatore Omelette. The what?! As perplexed as I was, this Italian dude was left satisfied by the spicy, meaty and juicy concoction. Their home fries are plump and flavorful. Nearly addicting bites. Normally I don't comment on toast, but the wheat toast tastes better than most here. Melted butter with a great crisp makes for an excellent encore. Friendly service, quick cooking times and massive portions make for an outstanding breakfast experience. Wendy - keep up the delicious eats. And by all means, stay innovative. Bada Bean for the win. read more
