Because of the great experience I had earlier this year, it was an easy decision to stop back in while I was in the area. I ordered a lavender matcha again, along with a breakfast bagel with egg, bacon, and cheese. Once again, I was pleasantly surprised! Honestly, if someone had told me the bagel came from a dedicated bagel shop, I would have believed them. It didn't have that microwaved or typical fast-casual feel at all. It was fresh, hot, and really good. I'll definitely continue to come back when I am nearby. read more

I saw this and since , I am out here exploring. I wanted to try a different type of coffee and I read the reviews and I had a five star. I'm very impressed and satisfied. No, I did not try any coffee. I did end up trying the frozen hot chocolate that was really good. They let me get a kid size. I was very happy about that. I just wanted to try something sweet and I never had a frozen hot chocolate drink, and it was very good and not extremely sweet. The customer service was phenomenal. The lady that helped us out that we were going to drive-through was really good and she had a really good attitude and very good customer service and I'm bright smile with positive energy. They have a various different type of coffee, drinks, smoothies, and lemonades. I would definitely love to try the smoothies and I would recommend here. Fast service as well. -Marshay D. read more

I work out east, so I have driven past this coffee spot many times before. Outside the restaurant was clean. As I pulled through the drive through, I overlooked the menu and decided to try the bacon egg and cheese bagel with the Pumpkin Snowy latte. Service was quick, but my drink was not complete. I was given the latte with no whipped cream or topping. When I told the cashier I thought it had it, she said she didn't think so. I pointed to the picture on the drive thru window and she said "oh", and took the drink back. She returned the drink with the whipped cream and a cute chocolate covered coffee bean on top. I thought that was a nice touch. The drink was decent. It didn't pack much pumpkin flavor, so I was kinda disappointed with that part. The bacon on my sandwich was just sad. It appeared soggy and old. Also I had asked for cream cheese for the bagel and the cashier stated, "sure you can have that", not explaining there was a charge for it. This was my first visit to Human Bean, so I'm unsure if this is the typical quality, but hopefully it's better for other customers. read more

I really love this spot, and I really like this location on Keystone as there are not many coffee options in the area. I've been a few times now, and I can say that the service has always been spot on. They really have a well trained staff that is professional and friendly. I really appreciated this. They always have a seasonal menu as well as the staples. I tend to try different lattes whenever I visit. I love that their business model is drive through or walk up. The drive through is really convenient and has been timely. They always serve an espresso bean on the drinks which I think is a nice touch as I've never seen that elsewhere. read more

Had an experience today at The Bean that disturbed me. Was handed a lukewarm coffee so I circled back to get it warmed or replaced. The woman at the window said she would replace it. I asked her to take the one I had, but she said she wasn't allowed to. I poured it out because I didn't want a full cup of coffee in my car that I wasn't going to drink. Apparently she thought that was a statement of disapproval because then someone I presume was the manager came to the window asking what I needed. I told her the coffee wasn't hot. She said they would replace it, then said, "Have the day you deserve, sir". I wasn't angry at any point in this interaction until then. I've gotten lukewarm coffee many times before, it's not a big deal. But her snide comment left me feeling disrespected. If she didn't mean anything by it, which is unlikely, it would be a good idea to never use that phrase with a customer. I won't be returning to that place. read more

One of my favorite coffee shops to go to! Located off 54th and Keystone this coffee shop is a welcome spot in the neighborhood. Unfortunately you can't stop in and sit you either drive thru or walk up. My favorite drink to get is the Snowy Mocha and I add caramel right now they have a Pumpkin Snowy Mocha flavor and it's divine!!! I think my favorite part about their latte's is they are not overly sweet. A lot of coffee shops load the sweetness into the coffee and you lose all the flavor; in my opinion Human Bean does the oposite. Every drink is served with a chocolate covered espresso bean for a little added touch! If you're in the neighborhood stop through you wont be disappointed!! read more

The Human Bean - Pumpkin Snowy Mocha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

It used to be good. However my last two visits have been very unpleasant. I ordered a raspberry latte. I got a watered down latte. I went back and told them I wanted more raspberry. The white blonde female hatefully said you have to ask for extra. Then yesterday I went and ordered a snowy pumpkin. This drink always comes with whipped cream. They didn't put whipped cream in it. I asked for whipped cream. The dark haired white female hatefully said you have to ask for it. I said well I'm asking for whipped cream. She rudely said can you take the espresso bean first. Instead of just removing it herself. I felt unwelcomed as a black female. I feel there just a maga business cosplaying as a coffee shop. Black folks you've been warned. read more

Small mostly drive-thru coffee spot, but don't assume that means the menu is small! Lots of fun drink options with plenty of sugar free syrup substitutions if that's your thing! Signature drinks come with a fun chocolate espresso bean. The vibes are high and the coffee bevs are tasty at the human bean! They even have their own app if ordering ahead/online is your thing. read more

I've been here a few times. This was my first time trying the green tea smoothie as pictured. It was amazing. Friendly customer service. We sat outside and she asked if I wanted her to put the umbrella up. That was definitely appreciated with the sun. It was nice to sit outside and enjoy our drinks. I went for a meeting. read more

The Human Bean started as a drive-thru espresso stand in 1998 in Ashland, Oregon. By 2002, its reputation for quality products and skilled baristas led to franchising and as of a couple weeks ago it has arrived in Indy with its location at 54th and Keystone in the spot of a former Rally's. The Human Bean is a nationwide franchise with a strong presence west and in the Pacific Northwest. As I just returned from Washington myself, I can say I didn't actually see one while there and it does continue to be a modestly sized chain. The menu includes a decent variety of coffee, tea, and smoothie products along with espresso and a variety of frozen products. You can also buy their beans and they even have single serve/pod products. They are a drive-thru chain along with, I believe, also walk-up options. There are tables outside if you'd like to linger. Dine-in does not exist. At this location, it appears only one side of the drive-thru is open. However, I've noticed in their photos that some locations do use both sides and this may be added in the future as they've only been open a week or two here in Indy. I will admit I considered dropping a star because of an initial negative impression. The menu lists smoothies at $4.50-5.50, however, when I ordered a large the price was over $7.50. I questioned it since there's no such price on the menu - a major faux pas in my book and one likely to be an irritant in a business located at 54th & Keystone. After initially switching my order, I finally caught on that the menu lists the 12 and 16-ounce options. There is a 32-ounce option that appears to be $7.50 - this option is not on the outside menu. I'd really advise addressing this clearly and making sure baristas are able to explain it. However, the baristas were super friendly and once I figured out things I was pretty much fine with them. The product I received, a Java Chip, was delicious and actually quite generous for $5.50. The building has been nicely redecorating with a very woodsy theme. As a franchise, they believe strongly in stewardship and they support a variety of projects. There is an app that offers rewards. You also get an actual coffee bean with every order - it's somewhat gimmicky but actually kind of cool. Overall, at least for now, I'm sticking with the 5-star rating. It's a soft 5 and I'll admit to wondering why you'd start off with an inaccurate menu. But, pricing confusion aside the products are great, the people are friendly, and The Human Being is a welcome addition to my side of town. read more

Good coffee! Wish I could have customized a bit, but can't be picky when the service is great. They even offered a pup cup for my dog. :) One of the few drive thru coffee places I could find that wasn't Starbucks. Good matcha, didn't realize how big my drink was until I ordered it! Would come back again. read more

I'm always happy when my northside errands align to include a swing through this drive-thru coffee shop. Their menu includes a plant-based breakfast sandwich option which we famously love to see!! I do prefer to support local coffee shops when I can, but sometimes you just need a drive-thru. And I believe this is the only Human Bean locally so it kind of *feels* local, ya know? I've had and enjoyed the green tea smoothie as well as just an iced oat milk vanilla latte. The staff is friendly and the service is quick. Consider me grateful that the days of sipping specialty drinks while grocery shopping are back. In short: highly recommend. read more

I am loving this coffee shop lately. I feel like the broad ripple area/keystone needed a coffee shop this side of town. Drive thru only but very quick to take your order and get cars through in my experience. I most recently ordered a hot Chai Latte. It was a slightly different flavor than I'm used to but I chugged the whole thing just the same. Each drink comes with a "bean" on top. A chocolate covered espresso or coffee bean I assume. A nice little treat with your coffee. I haven't tried the food yet but next time i'm here for breakfast and not an afternoon pick me up I will let you know! read more

I was hesitant to go here because of the name , but also because it's a chain. But it's so good! I love that they have a drive through and a walk up window. They also give you a chocolate covered espresso bean with your coffee. I've had the snowy mocha twice and it's great! The best part is the staff. They are so pleasant and seem so happy to work there! read more

If you are looking for a small chain coffee shop where you do not have to get out your car than you found it at The Human Bean! This place has some great smoothies and and the Carmel granita is to die for. Their prices are very reasonable. I had stopped by in the morning on my way to work and they got my order done very quickly but of course I came at the perfect time. There was no long line like it normally is. When they typically have a long line I will say they do move it quick. Their drinks are so cute because every drink comes with a coffee flavor jelly bean. I love how they have a rewards club where you can earn points towards coupons. The best part is for your birthday you get a free coupon for a free drink of any size during your birthday month. They also give you random coupons at times. If you have not tried The Human Bean I say give it a try and you will not be disappointed. read more

The Human Bean - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

The definition of a smoothie- a thick, smooth drink of fresh fruit puréed with milk, yogurt or ice cream. What I received can compare to a bad gas station icee (slishie). Had bubbles on bottom like a soda & ice on top. It was like they blended a cheap waterd down Red Bull with some ice. No fruit. I can provide picture. This looked nothing like advertised picture of bright energy smoothie. I can't believe they let it leave the store. Now the breakfast sandwich (bacon, egg, & cheese on Asiago bagel) was chewy with hard parts. It was inedible. The cheese had brown spots on it & looked like burnt plastic. The bite I took made me puke. I am so upset. This was brunch for me, the only meal I get until later tonight for dinner. This was supposed to be a treat. But now I get to go hungry. I am very upset. read more

I stopped by this new coffee shop on Keystone this week and it was amazing! I ordered the vanilla cold foam cold brew and the strawberry banana smoothie. I would definitely order both again! The cold brew was really similar to Starbucks, but I think the cold brew here was a little more to my liking. It wasn't too strong, but definitely had a good coffee flavor. The smoothie was delicious and I will definitely be hitting this place up for more smoothies. I was confused about the little drop on top of the cup and asked the barista what it was. It turned out to be a chocolate covered espresso bean. It was really good! It did leave a chalky consistency and some espresso residue in my mouth, though. So definitely don't take a bite right before an important meeting or photo I can't wait to go back and try more items from their menu! The baristas were so nice and friendly and it is definitely worth the stop! All together, my total for the 2 small drinks was around $9. They also have a rewards program that you can sign up for and receive $2 off on your first purchase! Give it a try! read more

I've been counting down the days until the Human Bean opened at 54th and Keystone, driving by each day as the construction progressed, shedding a single tear when I finally saw the big red banner that said "OPEN". I went to Oregon a few years back and went to the human bean every day while I was there, and also had the opportunity to go to their headquarters and meet their CEO. Learning about how they source their beans and support the coffee growing communities was amazing, and not to mention the CEO himself was such a wonderful human bean. They are a drive up/walk up stand which, while customary on the west coast, is hard to come by in the midwest. Not to mention, that spot on Keystone was SORELY missing a quick caffeine stop for commuters and SoBro dwellers alike. Alas, I couldn't be more happy that the Human Bean is here, and here's why: -On-the-go joe. Being a drive thru stand, they get you in & out in a timely fashion. -Lots of drink options. They have everything from specialty lattes to all the classics, and can make you anything you ask for. Not to mention they actually have very yummy espresso. If you're used to the burnt stuff you've grown accustomed to at Starbucks, this will be a breath of fresh air. -LOTS of non dairy milk options. To those allergic to dairy, and those obsessed with creamy & delicious oat milk, fear not. PLUS they have macadamia milk, which is a rare offering. -Each coffee drink comes with a chocolate covered espresso bean on top for an extra sugar/caffeine buzz. read more

We finally stopped in here after driving by so many times! We did drive thru so i can't speak for the interior of the store. The coffee was pretty good. We got a hot coffee and a latte. We also added a gluten free cookie (& were glad to see they had Gf as a menu option!). Service was pretty quick. The espresso bean on top of the cup was a cute addition. We liked it but didn't LOVE it. You know, everyone likes their beans roasted a certain way. :) We would go back though for price and service + menu options.

I moved here from the southwest where drive thru coffee places with candy like flavors were the rage. I didn't know how much I loved them and would miss them until I moved here. The human bean not only satisfied my craving it did it above and beyond my expectations. I got the Mexican mocha frozen with oat milk. It was delicious. Unlike other places where one flavor is over powering you could taste the levels of flavors that make Mexican mochas so wonderful. I will be returning again for sure. read more
