"Their Chai Latte is magical and their breakfast sandwiches are warm, yummy and mouth watering, they offer a variety of seating options and if you love a good donation box, they have quite a few options to spread some love and kindness, the entire place is just covered in love, hardwork, more love and a never ending supply of joy in a cup. Go see them. You'll never regret it if you do. A true hidden gem and so very loved. And the prices can not be beat by not one single competitor."

"A great neighborhood gathering spot with wonderful, creative coffee drinks. Less expensive yet better than Starbucks. Food is delicious and staff is attentive and unlike many other places, the folks there remember your drink of choice and your name. How nice is that?"

"This place is so cute and delicious! Their bagels come from NY and they are soft on the inside with a little crunch on the outside. My husband had a lox bagel and he loved it. Their coffee has great flavor, I got the Fall Harvest and my husband got the Fluffy. Both solid!"

"I love, love, love this place. I work close by and in the morning, it makes me happy to see a vibrant spot where the local community could hang out, talk and get together. Super inviting, super engaging and turns out killin' caffeinated drinks. A credit to an area that should observe how this place is doing business because they're crushing it."

"I'm from out of town and my friends brought me to this coffee shop and i fell in love. The owner is the sweetest thing and the coffee and banana muffin i had were so good. Cozy little shop - with reasonable prices and great staff - definitely going back once i visit again."

"Far more than just great coffee. It's a place to visit with new friends that feel like old friends, find community, and just hang out. It's a place to belong. We heart The Bean and everything it represents in our little corner of the world. Plus the bagels with hummus and tomato are awesome sauce."

"What a cozy place! Honestly one of the best cafes to get a sandwich for under $10! Coffee is delicious and they offer many flavors. Local art & jewelry sold here too."

"My friend and I came late and the shop was already closed so we decided to sit outside and chat. The owner came out and offered us two lemonades and didnt even charge us! That was one of the kindest gestures I ever received! Also the lemonade was so good and refreshing! We'll definitely come back to support!"

★★★★★
"By far the absolute best coffee, tea, bagel sandwich and service I have ever had! Also they feature beautiful baskets, handmade jewelry, books and more all from local artist! I definitely grabbed myself a basket before heading back to Mass! Can't wait to come back!"

"The coffee is better than Starbucks and Dunkin and the sweet tea is better than McDonald's they have amazing customer service and are willing to work with you through anything that you need desire or want. They have fast pace and slow if you need it and they are absolutely awesome at what they do and I love their coffee."
Amber Champagne
★★★★★
"The baristas are friendly and make the drinks so quickly! Come early so you get the cool pastries before they sell out. The Bean also has an amazing atmosphere. I love working for hours at their tables and enjoying many drinks while doing so."

★★★★★
"Good coffee and quick service if youre in a hurry. Popular place but still has open seats to enjoy your warm buttered muffins or any of their varied pastries. Serves breakfast and lunch menu as well. Homey atmosphere, not too loud to read a book or get some laptop work done. Choice of low tables or high bar stools seats."
Mollissa Bennett
★★★★★
"Such a cute coffee shop! Atmosphere was amazing and there was a cute seating area as well as enough room to move around and place your order at the order counter. Counter and high chairs in the front window to watch cars go by as well as picnic tables in the front outside."

★★★★★
"Friendly staff. Nice atmosphere, there are also benches and tables outside perfect for summer weather. I'm not a big coffee drinker, but I had a iced French vanilla latte and a cherry lemonade that I enjoyed. They have a good selection with non caffeine drinks."
