    Really like this place! Employees are incredibly nice. Food and drink is the standard Coffee Bean items, they're decent. I enjoy the seating, the fact that you can charge your laptops or phones, and the cozy interior. I reduce a star because there's no customer bathroom, which is really a shame, because when you're stuck in this area it's hard to find an accessible restroom. My favorite part is always the employees though, they're what make the shop shine and stand out. Keep it up baristas! You're the coolest

    Best Baristas in the world. Friendly, funny, and they make you feel right at home. Not to mention, they make great coffee

    Ordered a blended mocha with a shot. It tasted like the ice was dirty from bad unfiltered water and the dingbat barrista forgot the sht. I tasted it and asked, does it have the extra show and she said yes. I was so grossed out by the taste of bad ice I threw the drink away anyways. SHould have brought it back and asked for refund. YUCHHH

    These workers need a huge raise!!! I come here every morning to pick up my order of caramel latte with almond milk. And every morning I get a huge smile from the staff. They remember customers names and fav orders. My only strife is that the location is too small. it definitely needs renovating and a new ambiance.

    I remember the first time I had Coffee Bean was an ice blended vanilla shake I got through a Krispy Kreme drive thru. I was blown away. Fast forward to many years later, when my body doesn't allow me to drink all that stuff, I've explored other items on their menu. This particular Coffee Bean is always hustlin and bustlin, probably because it's the closest coffee shop within walking distance to all these nearby businesses. They have some healthy food snacks and pastries here. The way the line can be set up is a little strange and awkward. Nevertheless, everyone is really nice. I don't really go to Coffee Bean for their coffee, but their teas are stellar and there are a lot of options to choose from. They have amazing teas, better than Starbucks and their tea lattes are tantalizing! Love their tea bags where you can actually see the wholesome ingredients in your tea!

    Great service, very friendly, and warm.Talked to us about moving to college and congratulated us for finishing school.

    parking sucks, but the baristas were nice and the coffee was hot (not burned). not too many tables to sit at, so not a camping spot.

However, recently they've been playing AI generated music and it's very disappointing to hear. I would much rather hear one song on loop over and over again, than a playlist of AI slop. This coffee shop is so warm and cozy but the change in music really takes away from the space and makes me not want to come in. If you're cutting corners with AI, where else are you cutting it short? I hope this is something that changes because it is my favorite cup of coffee in town!

Over the last couple of years, the charm of this café has faded, culminating in a truly awful experience this morning. The solo staff member working today was incredibly discourteous. Because I had my leashed dog with me, she practically threw me out of the store. While she pointed to the "no dogs allowed" sign, I explained that I was only inside to order and planned to sit outside, something I have done on countless previous visits. After being forced to wait outside, my drink was left sitting on the counter for several minutes. The barista never bothered to let me know it was ready, despite the café being slow. To make matters worse, the beverage was poorly made, with coffee spilled all over the saucer. This isn't the first time I've experienced bad service here, but it will definitely be the last.

The drinks were very good and exactly what you'd expect from a quality café. But the food presentation--wow! It completely exceeded my expectations. We ordered the avocado toast, the breakfast burrito, and the egg on brioche. Every dish was beautifully plated, garnished with edible flowers, and served with a fresh, delicious salad. I honestly wasn't expecting this level of presentation from a café. The portions were generous as well, leaving us completely satisfied. I also tried one of their pastries that reminded me of a cinnamon roll. It was enjoyable, though as a professional baker and pastry chef, I felt the pastries were the one area with room for improvement. In my opinion, they seemed to prioritize elegance and originality over achieving the best texture and flavor. Even so, they were still good, and I appreciated the creativity. Overall, this was an outstanding breakfast experience. Beautiful presentation, delicious food, generous portions, and a welcoming atmosphere. I would gladly return.

I ordered one of their signature drinks, the Okinawa Cold Foam, which is a matcha latte topped with an Okinawa brown sugar cream foam. I got mine with light foam to cut down on the sweetness a bit. The foam was delicious, super unique, and paired well with the matcha. However, the matcha itself was just okay and was a little too milky for my taste. Parking: street and neighborhood parking.

Once ordered, you're allowed to sit at the Equinox lounge and they'd bring your order to your table. The menu offered probably not as plentiful as the one in WeHo, but rich enough selections to pick from including many fun smoothies! We went for their Breakfast Burrito with avocado add-ons and loved how perfectly the eggs were cooked and well-complemented by the melted cheese. Instead of regular hash-brown, they used more rosti-alike one which gave extra twist of crispy texture within the burrito. The sausages were my fave being flavorful and served in big satisfying chunks! If you're into pastries like me, definitely no skip on their Pain Suisse. Like seriously just looking at the pic almost made me drooled again, perfect lamination with delightful buttery pastry and rich stuffing. Would certainly order it again and again!

I ordered the strawberry matcha with a strawberry cream top and it was delicious and creamy. The staff who took my order and made my drink was super helpful and friendly. This cafe has a lot of seating so perfect to enjoy a snack after your workout. I'm unsure if you need a gym membership to access, but since I was attending a pop up, all they had to do was scan my ID. You have to pay for parking if you use the garage, but the front desk validates parking

They made the drinks but kept them behind the counter without calling the order aloud... finally went to check and found them there - so approach and ask for your drinks. Ordered the Black Sugar Assam - flavor was smooth, it was surprisingly sweet but not overly so (this drink has no sugar level to adjust). Boba were cooked just right and had great chew. I ordered it with less ice as my usual. Also ordered for a friend and didn't realize her drink came without boba so be sure to double check the menu as you order so you get toppings (or not) as you wish. FYI - they have a rewards program, join earn points, and get a birthday drink (discount) too! There's a small seating area inside, quiet music playing, and people working/studying (with a sign to use your indoor voice). Vibe is quiet and chill.

It was clean inside when I went by at 8 PM, not super busy, decent amount of seating/tables. There are a bunch of board games as well so seem like a nice place to drink boba and hang out. I got the creamy jasmine -- it's essentially a jasmine milk tea. The tea flavor is okay, nothing super crazy but nice and floral. Boba has pretty good texture -- not super mushy/overly soft, decent qq.
