We really like the Local Bean. Their prices are great and food is always solid. Sandwiches, biscuits and gravy, or donuts. Nothing fancy. Just well priced consistently good food read more

Great little local coffeeshop/breakfast sandwich/donut shop in Rancho Murieta. No frills, very streamlined, prices are reasonable, sandwiches are hot and tasty. Service is fast and prompt, everyone is nice and efficient. Donuts are transferred over from another local shop. Coffees and drinks are solid and reliable. Plenty of nearby parking adjacent in the strip mall lot. Walking distance to the Murieta Inn/Spa if you're looking for something for breakfast without going to their formal sit-down restaurant. Support your local small coffeeshop! :) read more

The food is amazing now. I'm addicted to the fresh donuts, bagels & pastries. Since I've been pregnant, I look forward to my donut every Saturday morning as a treat. They are melt in your mouth soft. Breakfast burritos& sandwiches are delicious also. Everyone is friendly & it's a quick stop even when they're slammed on the weekend. read more

Enjoyed lunch this week with friends. The staff was friendly and my ham & cheese Croissant was delish. Can't wait to try another one of their delicious sandwiches next week. read more

Wonderful spot. Croissants, burritos, sandwiches an coffee are all great! Very friendly.

Quaint little coffee shop with good simple and tasty food at a very fair price, clean and well maintained storefront and very professional staff, that are quick and efficient, would recommend to anyone looking for a quick and easy bite to eat at a very good price! read more

They've got an awesome selection of fresh donuts every morning. Super tasty and always fresh! The food here is consistently good, and the prices are hard to beat. Definitely a go-to spot in the neighborhood. read more

My husband, daughter, and I come here often for breakfast and coffee and always have a good experience. The staff is nice and helpful and their food is tasty! read more

Fantastic! Excellent food - we got the breakfast burrito which had a great ratio of everything in it and the croissant breakfast sandwich which was also delicious. We called in our order 10min out, super sweet on the phone and in person. Place is clean and it's an excellent stop on our way to Kirkwood. Will definitely be back. read more

I highly recommend this coffee shop. I personally like the 'Avocado Toast' and the 'Iced Dirty Chai Latte'. The new owner Ronnie is amazing and so are his employees. I like that they have a couch, as well as tables. read more

I've been here in the past, about 2-3yrs ago, and we were not impressed. While the food wasn't bad, the service was poor, wait times were high and there was never anywhere to sit and eat as a family. It felt like a grab n go place and wasn't very welcoming. I was coerced by a friend to give it another try since it was under new management and I was pleasantly surprised. The menu is still basically the same, but the service is much better, wait times are lower, and they've added more tables and chairs. It still isn't the breakfast diner our town wants/needs, but it's much more enjoyable to go grab breakfast here now. read more

My kryptonite when it comes to discovering new, local businesses is coffee shops. The Local Bean, located in a quiet strip of shops in sleepy Rancho Murieta, was a place I'd passed on many an occasion but only recently had the pleasure of trying for the first time. My father suggested we meet there for a coffee while we were in the area. I went with a Chai tea Latte and a blueberry scone from their pastry counter. The scone was rich and delicious; the drink well-made, piping hot, creamy and foamy. The whole place is filled with small-town charm - locals gathering for leisurely morning chats, friendly folks behind the counter and an overall laid-back vibe that encourages you not to rush through your day. They have a nice patio out front which is a perfect place to sip your joe while soaking in the morning sun. I don't live close enough to do this often, but I know this will be my coffee spot of choice going forward whenever I'm back in Rancho Murieta. read more

Great ambiance. Love the food options. Good for breakfast and lunch. Nice outdoor patio and dog friendly. Only suggestion: Would be nice to have a gluten free pastry option. read more

The Local Bean is our favorite place to go for coffee, pastries, breakfast or brunch. The new owners have made it so clean and inviting- inside or out on the patio. Locals congregant their to chat or to meet people that are from around the world that stop for coffee and something to eat as they pass by RAncho Murieta. We love our morning visits. Open early morning till after lunch. read more

Stopped here while waiting for my son to go air soft shooting and needing coffee. They had plenary of menu options. I ordered a caramel macchiato and and eggs, potatoes and gravy plate. They both were really good and the staff was very polite and nice. It has that local feel, since almost everyone that walked in knew each other. Lol But it was a nice stop and satisfied the coffee need and breakfast meal. Will be back when in the area to try more food. read more

The LBC has been a good option for breakfast in the past, but has been under many different owners over the years. The most recent iteration has missed the mark. Many in the neighborhood were happy that the new owners, who own a bakery nearby, were taking over the LBC. I have tried 4 items since the change and have been disappointed with most. The first item I tried was the large breakfast burrito, which was my fave from the prior owner's menu. Unfortunately, I got a burrito the size of the small (not sure if this is their "large" or if they got the size wrong - still charged for a large though). They also added bell pepper in the burrito, which the prior owners didn't and the new owners didn't show as an item in their burritos. The second item I tried was the Americano, and it was awful. Very weak and watery. The third item I had was their breakfast sandwich. I ordered mine without cheese, but after I got home and opened the sandwich, it had cheese. I ordered sourdough, but it was hardly toasted. The rest of the sandwich tasted fine, but getting the order wrong is a sign of bad service or bad listening. Finally, the fourth item I tried was the chocolate covered old fashioned. This was the best thing I've had to date. Many rave about their baked goods, which seems to be their wheelhouse, but the rest, not so much. Maybe they'll get better overtime but I am not sure I'll go back to find out. read more

What a little gem we have here in our little home town. Customer service is great. We have only had the coffee, and that is also great. The strip mall that it is a part of is also super great. Love this little town in the middle of quite literally bfe! :) read more

Appreciate all the hard work new ownership is putting into our local haunt. Food is good and it's just a fun place to go and meet your neighbors and friends! read more

Just had the most amazing ham croissant breakfast sandwich! Will definitely be making this a regular thing. My sandwich was delicious and made with love! read more

Breakfast sandwiches are great! We ordered ahead of time to go and were very satisfied with the service.

One of my favorite breakfast/brunch spots.. to start, the family who runs this business are AMAZING folks. My wife & I couldn't be happier to support. The LBC sandwich & pancakes are our go too's, but honestly you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Whether you're looking to kick your feet up on a Sunday morning, or grabbing food for a roadtrip, the local bean is your SPOT!! 10/10 recommend. read more

Cute place and great great food and coffee. Went here and got a vegetable breakfast sandwich and it was so very tasty. Mother had gotten a coffee and said she liked it. Staff were also nice and so friendly, would come again, great place. read more

Given the severe lack of choices in Rancho Murieta, a place I did not know of until this past weekend, I have to give this place at least a B+ for effort. Their coffee isn't great, in fact I'm even tempted to take Starbucks over this, but frankly there isn't one so this is better than the stuff you can get from the machine at Chevron across the street. I don't get me wrong, I like it! it's very cute, quaint, and open at 6am when you're waiting out your turn to go for a nice hot air balloon ride about 3 minutes away. They have a nice selection of "freshly baked" pastries, and the whole place is just cute. Very homely. AND they have soy milk! Score! read more

Do you ever wake up and think "where can I find true happiness?" well look no further because you have found it. This cafe is true happiness, the customer service is out of the world. Was greeted by a beautiful young lady upon entrance who made me the best croissant sandwich I have ever had in my entire life, just perfection. I didn't get a chance to ask for her name but she did a phenomenal job and deserves a huge raise. I also tried one of the iced coffees and yummy yummy in my tummy. Seriously if you're debating whether or not to come here, stop debating and start ordering. I almost never leave reviews for places but man this one deserves it. I will be a daily customer for sure. It feels like family here. read more

Came in a few days ago for brunch on a midday commute. I got a panini that I couldn't bring myself to finish and later got a bowl to substitute it. BOTH came out with raw egg and I mean RAW EGG WHITES!!! I've been here quite a few times before and since it's one of the only breakfast spots nearby my house but every experience has left me dissatisfied. Eggshells in food is definitely a reoccurring issue but understandable, it's easy to do accidentally. But raw eggs are unacceptable. I'm not sure if they had a change in management as well but the new staff is a little snippy. read more

This is one of those sorts of places you see in smaller towns, as The Local Bean is the village cafe, ice cream parlor and wine bar all in one. I have come here off and on, usually whenever I am visiting Rancho Murieta and want an espresso drink instead of a home brew. Overall, it is a pretty ok coffee shop, not great, but perfectly fine, and a place where many people in the local neighborhoods come to sit around for a bit in the morning, read the news, or chat with friends. And really, that is the biggest part of the appeal here, is the sense of it really being a locals' sort of place. The coffee is decent, and does its job of perking you up in the morning. They have a selection of typical cafe drinks, blended beverages, and milkshakes, since as mentioned before they are like the neighborhood ice cream parlor, too. There are a few cases with pastries and other food items like quiche or sandwiches, and they offer some breakfast and lunch entrees. Parking is good, prices are inexpensive, and the staff are exceptionally friendly every time I visit, being not unusual to hear them greeting or chatting with their regular customers. I appreciate these sorts of places, where it is a local business, not a chain, and it is really part of the community. read more

Charming place for breakfast, brunch, lunch, etc. Fair prices, excellent quality, this place offers a personal touch with friendly service. Relax inside on leather sofas or dine Al fresco. Pictured is the Breakfast Bowl with potatoes, tomatoes, mushrooms, and fresh spinach. We asked for egg white only and the special order was no problem. We finished with cappuccino and a lemon tarte. It was enough for both of to share! read more

Welcome to Rancho Murieta (previously known as Bridgehouse) This ranks as the best coffee house we have ever had. Ok so we didn't have one before. Its a great place to take a friend and get a nice cup of coffee or Chia latte. The new owner has upped her game and provides new breakfast burritos and crepes made from fresh ingredients. It's taken a few months to get the new crew up to par for RM. Give this place a try! A Sloughhouse old timer read more

Exent service, good quality, ecxellent tastes and great choices

Coffee was good. Breakfast sandwiches were great. It's a small place, so make sure you give a little extra time for them to prepare things.

Wonderful local spot for great coffee and delicious food! The service was exceptional! I would not hesitate to recommend this place to family and friends. I will be back when I am in Rancho Marietta again! read more

This business does not even try to enforce the masks required sign on their door. Takes forever to get your food. Plan on wasting the whole morning instead of stopping by to pick up something quick to go. Food's not bad but they burned one of the breakfast sandwiches. read more

Stopped in here early morning hours while in the area. What a nice surprise, coffee, breakfast, etc. Locals seems to love this place. Nice seating areas, GREAT service. If you're in the area, stop in a bring some business to these folks. They are located just across the street from the lovely Rancho Murieta Inn & Spa. read more

I'm sorry to say this was a complete waste of money for me . $38 for breakfast food that was literally straight from a microwave, it had to have been . The biscuits and gravy were in a black little plastic dish like the jimmy dean brand they sell in the frozen section of grocery stores . The scrambled eggs looked like a microwaved egg barely cut up with a knife , mostly white and hard . The pancake was so chewy it had to have been microwaved as well. The only palatable item was the bacon which was mediocre at best . The food was all served on paper plates with plastic silverware , which may be due to covid restrictions , I can understand that . So upset by the complete waste of money and the obviousness of being served microwaved food . Even the ham and egg croissant was microwaved because the cheese was stuck to the paper plate it was cooked on , had to peel it off the plate !! This was beyond terrible . I even tipped $3! Instead of throwing it out, I at least took it home for compost or to feed my worms . Nice soil in the future will make me feel better about the almost $40 loss. I guess this ended being a donation now to help a local business. Thumbs down !!!! read more

I've been here a handful of times hoping for a better outcome and I'm let down each time. The coffee is always way burnt and never made the same even though I order it the same every time. The breakfast food is always microwaved and something is always missing from my order. My husband has ordered the panini twice and both times it's never been put into the panini press. It's just a sandwich. Time to get someone working there that cares and is willing to put in the effort of making good food and coffee. read more
