A Five Star Review! I finally had The Loony Bean after seeing promotion of their business on Facebook and Instagram. A small on the go business serving Rodeo. I was not disappointed on my drink. Like location businesses it isn't Starbucks or Peet's. The Loony Bean is a business serving the location residents. Give The Loony Bean a try. Follow them on Facebook and Instagram read more

Fabulous place! View and atmosphere is amazing --- peacocks! What a great space to stop at after walking on the bay trail. The tea - ( Numi which is delicious ) and milk selection excellent and bites yummy read more

Great vibe and even better coffee. This spot is relaxing and allows me to breathe, watch the peacocks and the view. Excellent service.

Such a nice gem of a coffee cart in the Rodeo/Hercules area. The Loony Bean is typically situated in Four Fools Winery, but sometimes have pop ups around other locations Rodeo and Hercules. The staff are so pleasant and I'd love to try out all their different drinks. So far, we've had the holiday lattes, which were tasty and had a decorative Christmas stick to top it off. It's such a great idea for a winery and coffee cart to partner up so that there are more drink options when you want to be at the winery. read more

Yikes. I came because I wanted to try new places around my area. It was freezing cold so coffee sounded amazing. The coffee was disgustingly and the guy who took my order was very dry and had no customer service at all. Definitely would not come here again. read more

A hidden gem in Rodeo! Plenty of seating in the area overlooking the scenic San Pablo Bay. Just a really nice place to spend the morning. As for the drinks, we ordered an Iced Caramel Macchiato and an Iced Aloha Latte. The Caramel Macchiato was delicious, albeit a bit hard to mix. I took the cap off and stirred with just the straw to get the caramel to dissolve. Bonus was they have lactose-free milk as an option so that my family didn't need to deal with my after effects. I got the lactose-free whole milk. The Aloha Latte was impossible to mix. I forget what was at the bottom (chocolate macadamia syrup?) but that syrup did not want anything to do with the rest of the cold drink. Because the drink didn't have the syrup, it was on the bland side and not sweet enough. I'm guessing this one works better as a hot drink. Don't forget to check-in here! At least the time of this writing, they have a 10% off Yelp check-in coupon. read more

When they finally finished the final stretch of pavement for the San Pablo Bay Regional Trail to Pacific Avenue in Rodeo, it gave me a more definitive turnaround spot for my bayside walk back to Pinole since I wasn't interested in seeing how the Rodeo sanitation plant worked. Presumably it works just fine. On a recent walk, out of the corner of my eye, I saw a feather flag sign advertising "Coffee!". Gee, that sounded good, so I followed the signs until I saw a locked chain link fence. I was convinced it was a mirage, the product of self-delusion. It took me a couple of failed attempts until I was finally motivated enough to find the phone number on Yelp. The owner explained he was open normally until 2PM on the weekends but that they were staying open until 7PM that day because there was a Wine & Whimsy festival. That was a sure sign for Jamie W. and me to try the mobile kiosk called The Loony Bean, so yesterday we first took our long walk from Bayfront Park and came upon an unlocked gate and a surprising crowd of people sipping wine and perusing crystals. At last The Loony Bean beckoned. It's a tiny space run by the friendly owner with his two grown sons performing barista duties. There was a pretty extensive caffeine menu, all one size, from which we each chose the $4.25 Mocha with Almond Milk (photo: https://bit.ly/3DyN3pg). Quite a warm, soothing and not too sweet libation on a broad patio setting that was a bit crowded due to the festival but not overwhelming. We decided to split a $5 two-pack of Vegan Chocolate Chip Marshmallow Cookies just 'cuz (photo: https://bit.ly/3j3jWRq), a satisfying complement to the mocha. So it wasn't a mirage. Just get here by 1PM on Wed-Fri and by 2PM on weekends. I will now. COFFEE - 5 stars...smooth, rich, and just the right size...and the cookie helped, too AMBIANCE - 5 stars...combined with the patio seating and marina view, it was an unexpectedly tranquil setting even during a festival SERVICE - 5 stars...the owner was truly passionate about his business TOTAL - 5 stars...I'll start taking my walks earlier now RELATED - Exploring this part of Contra Costa County?

- great coffee - friendly customer service - hidden gem Went to Looney Bean on a Saturday morning. The Barista was super friendly and helpful when ordering drinks! I'm not sure if he was the owner or not but you could tell he enjoyed his job and coffee! I ordered Aloha Latte and White Chocolate Mocha. The coffee was taste was strong but not too strong, and the flavors in the drinks mixed well together. The drinks weren't too expensive either. The views you get while drinking your coffee of the bay can't be defeated! I loved the seating area and the wood tables. Love that Rodeo has this hidden gem. Highly recommend this place for your next cup of coffee! read more

I didn't need the coffee. What I needed was a change of scenery. I didn't want homemade coffee because my excuse was I didn't like the creamer my husband bought. We drove here, parked and marveled at how beautiful the scenery was (it's the same view as the trail next to it) and for me, the huge highlight of it all was the patio furniture set up along the view to enjoy your coffee and fresh air. I ordered an Aloha Latte and it came frothy and full of flavor, not one of those janky coffee drips. I was immediately a fan. Cute neighborhood spot! read more

I made a coffee date with a colleague to meet at the Loony Bean on July 8th, 2025 at 10:30 am. The coffee shop was not open, even though the hours of operation was from 8:30 am - . The location of the coffee mobile looked cute and had a beautiful view of the bay. I will return and update my review of disappointment due to their unexpected closure. The improvement to your business in my opinion, would be to post unexpected closures for your customers. read more

I hate leaving poor reviews for small business because I know they rely on them. My trip was lackluster. I went searching for this cute little cart that is situated next to the bay because of the photos and how could you go wrong with a beautiful view and warm coffee? Also what a great name for a coffee cart! Met a friend and we opted for two totally different things. I had a seasonal coffee drink. Coffee was lukewarm and lacking an actual taste. I figured maybe it was me so I had her try mine and she agreed. I imagine mine maybe sat for a little bit because she had to go back and ask after a while whether her order was coming. Hers wasn't great either but at least it was warm. She ordered a Chai. The individuals were kind and apologetic for the delay in getting orders out. The views and few spots to sit are pretty amazing. Hoping maybe I caught them on an off day and i'll get them another try and change my review if it merits it. This review has been sitting in my drafts for a while and I almost didn't post it just because maybe...maybe, it was an off day. read more

It's been several months now and I wanted to give an update on the Loony Bean. I enjoy this spot and find all the people who go and work there warm and welcoming. They have different events all the time during the summer. It has a community vibe and has a diverse crowd that shows up. If you're looking for something local, follow them on IG and FB. I've been there for small local vendor markets, music, salsa nights, food trucks, and they even played the final Warriors game outside! Sundays they have board games for the family to enjoy. If you like coffee drinks, water views, fresh air and a good vibe, you should check out this spot! read more

The Loony Bean - iced aloha latte & iced caramel macchiato - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Rodeo, California

First of all, LOVE the concept! The trailer is cute and their outdoor setup is adorable too! I happened to find them on their first day of business during a short walk with my mom in the Hercules Rodeo area. Found some signs that said "ESPRESSO" and was confused because I never knew the Rodeo Marina had coffee! I decided to look them up and check it out. The staff was super friendly and seemed super excited to be operating! I ordered a caramel macchiato with oat milk. It was nice and sweet with an almost unnoticeable dark finish TIP: they currently don't do iced drinks. But maybe they will in the future??? Either way, you should ask first On the days they operate in Rodeo, they are located right next to the Four Fools Winery, which I need to try soon! Check out their website to find out where they are gonna be that day!! I hope they do well! read more

This is such a cute coffee cart. I like having a tea at events at Four Fools winery. Cold chai latte is great.

Love this tiny but awesome coffee "shop" (more like a mini trailer) that is a beautiful 1.5-mile walk from Hercules. Grab coffees and take the fire trail next to the coast for a spectacular morning. My wife and I loved their pour-over and dirty chai. read more

My husband and I were walking our dog here and I've been wanting to check out a coffee business in Rodeo. We don't have any, very exciting. I got a café mocha with hazelnut syrup and oat milk and it was yummy! My husband got a café mocha with almond syrup and said it tasted like an Almond Joy. Beautiful location, you can sit and enjoy your coffee while looking out at the San Pablo Bay. (Dog friendly too.) I am so happy to have coffee in Rodeo so please hit them up while walking the Lone Point trail! read more

You guys are great, so glad to have this close to my place. Checked it out for the first time today and got a cappuccino. Coffee was high quality with a good amount of foam and the tables and chairs were perfect for sitting in and enjoying the view. Nice to place to go and kill an hour or two with a friend or to read a book. read more

Great coffee, great service and a beautiful bay view, nestled in Rodeo's four fools winery/Rodeo Marina. my wife and I usually go on Saturday morning and enjoy a cup of coffee and the sunshine. Just enjoy the coffee, the view, the time with my wife. read more

This hidden gem is exactly that; A Hidden Gem! Tucked not too far off from the freeway, a great layout with an easy going invitation to just be and relax. Nothing frilly or trendy which is a good thing; you simply come as you are. Whether headed to work, out for a walk or an intentional weekend morning routine of delicious coffee and cool views! There's a bit of nostalgia amongst the property. That should be appreciated. While there you'll discover a winery, literally just few steps away and the cutest outdoor seating at The Looney Bean. I ordered an almond milk latte, extra hot with 2 raw sugars. It was perfect! The coffee roast was bold and smooth, not overshadowing the froth and my raw sugars were dissolved! Not settled to the bottom as I've experienced at other places. A plus for me; it's the little things right?! My drink was perfectly made, by I believe the owners son. Overall a great family business, in a really cool location with great customer service. This will for sure be a community staple! They can add me as another regular! I'll be back. read more

This was a random find. When visiting a winery I came across this truck and had an amazing expression along side an amazing conversation with one of the workers. It turns out that they had just opened so I lucked up running into them. I'm happy that I had a chance to support a local business too. Here's hoping that they park their truck near my job during the week like I suggested read more

This is a wonderfully peaceful spot. I discovered it last week while looking for a place that served coffee outdoors with a view. In less than 10 minutes from my home I was there. What a great location! Though out of the way, which is a good thing, it'a easy to find with GPS. Jeron, the business owner, is very nice and made me the best Chai latte, which I sipped while enjoying the view. I was hoping to find some peace and soothing energy to help me recharge and rejuvenate from the stress in my life. I found it 10 times over! Jeron even had some jazz tunes playing while I was there - which I appreciated. If you're looking for a coffee spot with a beautiful view, good coffee and chai, with a warm and welcoming vibe that will recharge your soul, you will find it here. read more
