    Exterior Door

    The interior is small. There is a medium size kitchen table with four chairs, and two smaller tables with a couple of chairs at each. So, this is more of a grab and go spot than a sit and sip place. I was impressed to hear all about how they roast their coffee beans and make their own flavored syrups in house. I ordered the Frosty's Favorite as a latte with oat milk. I was disappointed when I tried my latte because it didn't taste like much of anything. I actually ended up pouring my coffee out. I think I took 3-4 sips and that was all I could stand. The latte lacked body and coffee flavor. There wasn't even an aroma which typically comes from a good cup of any type of coffee. The entrance is located at the back of the building. There is plenty of parking. Sadly, I will not be returning. I LOVE my coffees, lattes, cappuccinos, etc. and the latte I got from this place fell pretty short. Perhaps it was an off day.

    The Bean is a wonderful coffee shop that serves mindfully sourced local roasts with creative flavors. I have tried a few of the specialty roasts that they have had on drip and loved each of them. They use the previous day's tap roast for their iced coffee and their Baja roast for their cold brew, both of which are served with coffee ice cubes. The decor is cool and unique, featuring a vintage coffee roaster, concert posters, coffee paraphernalia, an antique radio, plush leather chairs (a coffee shop requirement, imo), and a skeleton. The owner and staff serve amazing coffee with small-town nostalgia and a smile. I live in New Haven, and The Bean is easily seated miles above most of the spots in NHV in my ranking of local-ish coffee shops.

    Here's what I loved about it: * the vibe! * the iced coffee is made with coffee ice cubes!! * the service was oh-so-pleasant. * the coffee cake was decadent-ly delicious! * parking was easy. I will be back!

    Butterscotch roast to go

    I make sure to visit The Bean whenever I'm home for the holidays! This visit home I've tried the Sumatra, butterscotch, and hazelnut brews on tap. All three were excellent black, and notably the "sweet" roasts are not at all too sweet (no sugar added). I also got a pound of the Costa Rica blend, which an employee was happy to grind for the French press. My companion ordered a hot breakfast sandwich, which was made fresh by an employee and looked delicious. Great coffee, great food, friendly employees.

    This is a very cute, quaint coffee roasting spot with great coffee. I ordered a black coffee which made me genuinely drink without an overwhelming amount of sugar & cream. It did taste good black but I still added cream because........... I don't know. I love cream in coffee. I also had a red velvet muffin that was toasted w/ butter on the side. It was so good. The only 2 downsides to the spot is that it wasn't that easy to find. Not enough signs to indicate where the place is actually located and the sign that is near the street is so small that once you see it it's too late. The other downside is that they don't have any outlets for if you come with a laptop and want to do some work on your visit. The outlet situation could actually be there purposely but besides that, I enjoyed the spot. I spoke to one of the owners about the shop and she was very friendly and very open with the information. There aren't that many coffee roasting shops in the area so finding it was a great treat.

    I really love this place! It's the perfect little coffee shop. I moved to the area recently and I'm so happy I found the bean coffee roasters. The shop is really cute inside and the coffee is delicious!

    Great Coffee Experience. The Cappuccino was crafted well. The coffee barista made an excellent drink. The shop has lots of cool thing to look at. The roaster is on display near the main entrance. Plenty of parking.

    Chai Tea Latte! Not too sweet but a bit bland.

    What sets them apart is their coffee ice cubes, this way their coffee doesn't get watered down.

Onto the drinks and food which were so delicious and truly enjoyable. I got the Beachy Bee Iced Latte special, which is a honey vanilla latte with a coconut cold foam and toasted coconut on top (simply divine)! My fiancé got the cappuccino which was made just to his liking, and he's a coffee connoisseur. For food, I had the Bumble, which I highly recommend, with scrambled eggs, subbed with the gluten free sourdough bread (+$2 up-charge) and cheddar instead of American cheese. It's served all day and had so much flavor with that garlic butter, and the seasoned steak. Yum! If you are gluten free like me, you will appreciate that they have the gluten free sourdough bread or a gluten free wrap to substitute with. My partner had the Basic Bee with bacon and thought it was flavorful with light and fluffy scrambled eggs that complimented the bacon well. Overall, I would really recommend this place if you're looking for a breakfast or lunch in Wallingford!

    I normally try to give places the benefit of the doubt, but our experience at The Bees Knees Bistro…read morein Wallingford was honestly very disappointing and upsetting. My family and I arrived while it was raining outside with our young daughters in strollers, expecting to sit down for a meal and get out of the weather. Instead, we were told we could not come in with the strollers and essentially felt unwelcome the moment we walked through the door. As parents of babies who are still too young to sit safely in high chairs on their own, the strollers are not optional for us , they are necessary. We were not being disruptive, rude, or inconsiderate. We were simply trying to have a meal as a family. Rather than attempting to accommodate us or show any understanding, we were left feeling like having children made us an inconvenience. What made the situation even worse was the fact that it was pouring outside. Any level of kindness or flexibility would have gone a long way. Instead, we felt embarrassed, frustrated, and honestly shocked by the lack of compassion and customer service. Families with young children already face enough challenges going out in public, and experiences like this make it even harder. We ended up leaving and taking our business somewhere else that was far more welcoming and understanding toward families. It is disappointing because we were genuinely looking forward to trying this restaurant, but first impressions matter. A restaurant does not need to be "kid-centered" to still treat parents and babies with basic respect and decency. I completely understand that restaurants may have space limitations or policies, but there is a respectful and compassionate way to handle situations like this. Instead, the experience came across as cold and dismissive. There are many restaurants in the area that are happy to accommodate families, and moving forward those are the businesses I will continue to support. Unfortunately, after this experience, I will not be returning and would not recommend this restaurant to families with infants or children who still require strollers or extra accommodations. I wont be going back and giving them .you business, nor will I be recommending this place to anyone. Totally rude and discrimination towards those with babies. I did not feel cherished like their website says every guest is. Its sad because this will and im sure does effect their business. I will never give them my business after yesterday. No attempts at accommodating us or evening offering to let us sit outside, lazy staff, but yet there were 3 teenage girls taking names for the wait list. What a joke.

The aioli was delicious and went well with the tots. The sunny side comes with a hollandaise so I figured poached eggs would go best. The eggs were perfectly runny. My two complaints: I could have used a bit more hash browns under the eggs. I asked for a side of toast because there weren't enough potatoes to soak up the yolk with. The hollandaise has good flavor but arrives a bit watery and foamy. It also seems like they serve unsalted whipped butter? I could be wrong but my buttered toast was bland. Overall, I will definitely come again. The coffee was good, there are other dishes I want to try, and our server, Meikhi was so nice and attentive. He's very personable and matched the energy of each of his tables.
