    Java chip with coffee
    Lola P.

    This place is always so great! Staff is always friendly and welcoming. I've never been to a place where staff are consistently so sweet and kind. It's either a drive thru or walk up, no indoor seating but don't let that deter you. It's got a cute little coffeehouse vibe. They have some wonderful food choices, from sandwiches, to cake pops to chocolate covered coffee beans, you'll never make a bad choice!

    Customer service is superior. The smoothie was smooth and refreshing. The turkey pesto was good, I would ask for extra pesto it was a very light serving

    Well the service wasn't the best for sure. On the menu and the board with the seasonal items there was no prices listed for everything. Which makes it a guessing game. Ordered a seasonal drink hot; which I was very excited about; when I get to the window they tell me the total and hand me an iced tea. I wish they would tell you the total before you get to the window so you can be prepared. I politely tell the worker that was the wrong order; she shut the window and a minute later appeared with what I think was the right drink but honestly who knows. She never repeated the drink to me. There was no apology for the wrong order either ; almost like she was upset I didn't just take whatever drink she gave me. Who knows if I paid the right price or not ; kinda weird. Since originally gave me the wrong order ; not sure if that's what she charged me for or my actual correct drink .... Hard to know. The ambiance seemed kinda rushed like was in a hurry to get you out of there.

    Barista was extra sweet! Love coming here every week! Truly my favorite coffee spot! Never disappoints!

    What a great little drive through! It felt unique. It was so refreshing from the standard to go coffee drive thru chains. The breakfast food items were awesome. The staff were polite and professional. Best of all, they offered our little dog a treat (see pic). Unfortunately, we were driving across the country and the chances of returning is slim for now. However, thank you for making the 27 hr drive a little easier, happier, and memorable:)

    My absolute favorite coffee shop! I love everything I've tried multiple drinks and they are all delicious. The staff is nice and friendly. Love the app and rewards. The location is perfect and I love the outdoor tables and the quick drive thru. It's totally addicting!!! Staff five stars Mocha five Americano iced five Lattes five stars This is definitely a must try. I now look for every Human Bean location when we travel and try them. They also have breakfast sandwiches, waffles, macarons & more. You will not be disappointed.

    Iced tea with peach and raspberry syrup!

    This place is my favorite! I always try the caramel hazelnut mocha iced coffee but today I wanted to try an iced tea! I got the peach and raspberry! Not overly sweet but definitely delicious! I'll definitely order again! Love how fast they are with their service. Baristas always so happy !

    First timer for the Tulare location! Thanks ladies for a perfect summer treat.

    I'm typically more geared to purchase from locally owned businesses. It's nice to know that the human being has the same aspect for being a franchise. I appreciate the fact that they are conveniently located my neck of the words for work as there isn't much in there. My favorite Carmel almond joy! Iced or hot, you can never go wrong. Definitely recommend either location here!

    The best

    I have wanted to try out the new Human Bean locations popping up around Visalia and Tulare because they appear to be quite popular based on the long drive-thru lines.

It's balanced and is my husbands go to every time. Breakfast burrito - definitely on the heavier side packed with meat but so yum! I don't always go for this option though since I like my breakfasts more on the lighter/fresh side since this FILLLLS me up & don't get hungry until like 6 hours later!! Avocado toast - ok when you look at it.. GRASSVILLE but... sooooo delish. The spouts are tasty (you might need to pick some off since can get a little empowering ) but sooo fresh. In general they use very very fresh ingredients and I need to ask them where they source their bread from since it's never stale/melts in your mouth! Love this place, I'm from Sacramento & wish we had something like this over there for easy bites/fresh coffee! The employees are super friendly always smiling & the ambiance is very chill & cutesy & clean with the perfect outdoor feel! My go to in Tulare/Visalia!

I've definitely been coming here since the beginning, thanks to my mom! It's stood out from the very beginning & I love how much they have expanded. There's something for everyone on their men. I think they have some of the best matcha's around (but if you drink your matcha with LOTS of sweetener.. you probably won't like a real matcha from here) -- I say this bc people complain that it taste like GRASS... and well, it damn near is (green tea leaves) lol -- all jokes aside, their drinks and food are all hand crafted and all made and / or roasted in house! I have not once ever had a complaint about this place. I love the ambience inside and out. Plenty of spaces to work from (one of my fav spots) Service is always ask expected for hand crafted drinks and food! The workers are always very knowledgeable about their menu items & products, love that! Their pop tarts... if you can get them when they have them.. TRY THEM OUT!! Actually, all their pastry's and breakfast items are delicious! (I just always forget to take pictures) haha I will always come here for food/homemade pastries , a drink or to work!

You find it because someone told you about it, or because you were looking for a place that feels a little more city than Central Valley. Brick walls, hanging art, a patio out front call it rustic, call it urban, call it hipster. Whatever the word is, it fits. Inside, the place hums. Not the quiet hum of a sleepy café, but the full‑volume buzz of people who treat coffee shops like co‑working spaces. The whole back section was a sea of laptops when I walked in, a slow tide of remote workers drifting out as the hour passed. Young folks, older folks, groups talking over each other a mix that tells you this spot has become a kind of community hub, even if the noise makes it hard to read without noise‑canceling buds. I came for a simple moment, a London Fog and a book. The tea was good, made with Rishi, a brand I'd never heard of but wouldn't mind trying again. I sipped it slowly, trying to sink into the page, but the chatter kept pulling me back to the room. Not a bad thing, just not the right place for quiet reflection. Some cafés are built for solitude; this one is built for motion. The staff was friendly, your standard modern barista crew, casual, quick, and easygoing. They run a tight operation, even offering mobile orders, something you usually see in bigger industrial coffee spots. Pastries, sandwiches, teas, espresso, the menu covers all the bases. Finding the entrance was its own adventure. Two doors, a divider in the middle, and a moment of "Wait... which side do I go through?" Not a dealbreaker, just one of those quirks that makes you laugh once you figure it out. Lighting is interesting here, low lamps mixed with a flood of natural light pouring in from the center of the shop. It gives the place a warm‑meets‑industrial feel, like a café that grew out of a warehouse and decided to keep the personality. Will I come back? Maybe. It's a great spot for people‑watching, conversation, or getting work done. But for reading, for sinking into a book with a drink, it's a place that demands either silence from the world or silence from your earbuds. Component Coffee Lab is loud, lively, and loved, just not quiet. And maybe that's the point.

Although they offer pastries, cookies, bagels, and breakfast items, I wasn't hungry, but I was definitely tempted. The cashiers were nice, helpful, and seemed to genuinely enjoy what they were doing. The coffee was really good, but what I enjoyed most was the atmosphere. The shop is in an old building with high ceilings and large windows. There are different seating areas with tables, couches, and large stuffed chairs, and the space is decorated with vintage items. As I sat there, I realized it is called "Mission Coffee" for a reason: everything sold at the café supports the Visalia Rescue Mission. There were signs showing the number of meals and showers they have provided.
