My family and I visit The Bean on a regular basis and absolutely love it! The quality of the coffee is outstanding and the teas are wonderful too! My kids enjoy getting a special treat of hot chocolate or juice. The homemade desserts are always wonderful! Sometimes I just cant resist a cinnamon roll or Beanie cake. The chocolate peanut butter pie is always a hit in our house too! The owners and the staff are always so kind and accommodating, even during the busier times. The Bean is a great addition to our wonderful community!

A little 70s themed shop that has great coffee and pastries made in house. The coffee and food is so good! I love the coffee because its good but its not too sweet like a lot of Starbucks coffees are. There are tons of places to sit, and a number of pretty big tables that are great for doing homework. I always manage to come when it isnt super busy, and its quiet enough that I can focus and get a lot of stuff done. The staff are really friendly and they bring what your food/coffee to wherever youre sitting. This place is great!

Plenty of other locally-owned coffee shops in town that will give you better service and a much more welcoming atmosphere. I have been rudely confronted by the owners before over seating issues when they should have been more occupied with not having me wait 15 minutes for a cup of coffee. Will not be back and do not recommend. Try other places in town that will at least have a smile on their face when youre providing them business.

Most are going to think they got misinformed about the location, even parked a few feet from the front door. Its hard at first glance to notice that theres a business there. Staff treats customers like family. This place definitely represents quality over quantity. Everything is very good. You are welcome to stay for any length of time. Owners know some good jokes too.

After having been here a few times, I feel like the owner lady is always rude and not a people-person. I commented on the cute decor my first time in, and she hardly replied and didnt smile or look at me. The prices are too high. And the bean quality is low compared to Mama Mochas. I just havent enjoyed any of my experiences here and felt unwanted as a customer.

I dont understand how someone that decided to open a coffee shop could be so unkind. When I asked for a fresh cinnamon roll, the owner told me he had to sell the older ones first. On another trip, the mans wife rudely asked me to move to a smaller table (in an angry voice while the shop had plenty of seating)

Stepping into this coffee shop and closing the door behind you, will envelope you into a rich aroma of fresh coffee and baked goods. The key lime pie is phenomenal with enough lime to make your taste buds crave one more bit. The cinnamon rolls melt in your mouth just like mommas homemade ones.

This is the best coffee shop in Auburn and the cinnamon rolls are incredible. The Bean has such an incredible 1970s atmosphere. There is plenty of room to study, play board games, or just enjoy a quality cup of coffee. The staff is kind and very knowledgable; you cant go wrong with The Bean!

Love Coffee shops with plenty of space and a cozy atmosphere and this is a clear example. The vintage memorabilia was cool to look at and appreciate. Coffee was really good and the cinnamon bun was a delightful treat for a lazy afternoon. Would definitely come back again for relaxing!

Best coffee, cinnamon buns and atmosphere of any coffee shop in Auburn. If your a coffee lover, their Nola cold brew is amazing. If you are more of a sweet coffee drinker their lattes/mochas are perfect. Definitely go, it will not disappoint.

This is the best mom&pop coffee shop Ive been to. It has an enjoyable chic atmosphere, and the owners and staff are so helpful. They make the best baked goods and their caramel tea with cream is really tasty.

The pastries are awesome. Danishes are some of the best Ive ever eaten as are the cinnamon rolls. Coffee had good flavor. Very quirky interior design makes for an enjoyable, unique and memorable experience.

Felt like having coffee with the Bradys, with the comfy vintage furniture and the smiling friendly staff. I had "the wonder" and it was delicious. Kids had the gelato and they loved it. Well be back.

Best cinnamon rolls I have ever put in my mouth. If youre not really sure what you want, theyre good at suggesting things. Very friendly. Nice feel to the place.

Fantastic coffee, cinnamon rolls are to die for,. Regular here for over a year, sometimes it is crowded and but the wait is worth it. Ask for a waffle too.

Braden Tisdale

Amazing baked goods, great coffee, and its run by the nicest mom & pop duo. Very homey, its absolutely great for studying or relaxing with others or alone.
