This place definitely stays busy, but I totally understand why! :)…read more I was in town for a few days and ended up coming here twice for my morning coffee fix. Both times, I ordered their seasonal iced flannel latte (pumpkin & maple), and it was so good! My son enjoyed a kid's hot chocolate, and we sat at a table for a while just taking in the vibes. I also tried the Happy Cow vegan breakfast burrito, which was yummy and surprisingly filling. I really like that they have two separate pickup areas (one for food and one for drinks), it seems to keep things moving even when they're busy. The shop itself is welcoming, and all of the staff I interacted with were friendly. There's also a drive-thru window for anyone who wants to grab their drink/food without going inside. If I find myself in the area again, I'll definitely be stopping back in for another latte!

The main downside was the seating. It gets pretty packed, so we ended up sharing a table with some other people. It wasn't a huge issue, but it did make it a little harder to settle in and hang out. The parking lot can also get a bit chaotic since the drive-thru creates a pretty significant wait and congestion at times. Overall, though, it was a nice spot for a quick coffee.

It might look tiny, but don't misjudge the coffee and other drinks they are making here! I actually went back after my first order to try another beverage, it was that good. I started with a Fall-flavored 'refresher,' though I can't honestly remember the name. But, it was amazing! I was down the strip a few shops for an event, so I popped back to The Big Bean before they closed for their "Not Ready for Winter" coffee concoction. Another winner! I also picked up a couple of biscotti for later. When we did finally get around to trying them, they were incredible! Very hard and crunchy as a biscotti should be, and perfect for soaking up some coffee for dunking. And the flavors are perfect. Other people were ordering their breakfast sandwiches, which honestly looked and smelled incredible... I just didn't have room for food that day. Or, I would have totally ordered one just based off of others' orders alone! The real five-star facet here, though, was the staff. They were very friendly and helpful, despite how busy they were. They still found time for friendly and cheerful banter while ringing everyone up. I don't think team members get enough credit when they go above and beyond, but please take the time to tip or at least acknowledge the fantastic folks here! Overall, it's a wonderful coffee shop that I wish were closer to home! And... had more parking! The number and orientation of spots here isn't ideal, but it's worth an extra walk (huge lot across the street) for the drinks, snacks, and people at The Big Bean. Outstanding overall experience!

‼New coffee shop in Sparrows Point‼…read more I attended the soft opening this weekend, and was very impressed! The space and seating inside is limited, so it definitely seems more of a to-go than sit-down place. The staff was nothing but kind and worked very hard to keep the line moving as they were SO busy! They were giving away complimentary pastries ("mini" versions of what they'll sell regularly!) and gelato scoops as part of their first day, so I snagged an espresso scone, a slice of Cinnamon Toast Crunch banana bread, and a scoop of pumpkin cheesecake gelato. All three were SO yummy. I especially loved the gelato, which was super creamy, smooth, and pumpkin-y. I got to try a few samples of other flavors, and they were great too. I also got a pumpkin oatmilk latte to go with my pastries. I returned the next morning to see how the experience would be on a more "normal" day. I got a pumpkin oatmilk latte again, but asked for extra syrup as the first one I had wasn't quite as sweet as I would like. The woman working made my drink with one extra pump, and gave me the option to add another if it still wasn't sweet enough. I did end up needing another one, and I really appreciated that I was able to do so. I also got a full-sized espresso scone. These ones had crunchy sugar on top, which was a nice touch. Super excited to continue supporting this new local business. Hoping the community continues to show as much support as they did on the first day so this place can stick around for a while!

On Saturdays, the roaster is going, and the aroma of freshly roasted coffee makes the whole place smell absolutely amazing. What really makes this store special, though, is the staff. They are just as wonderful as the products--friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely happy to help. I also love that you can sample many things before buying, which makes discovering something new even more fun. It may not be a big, conventional grocery store, but that's exactly the charm. You don't just go there to shop--you browse, taste, smell, discover, and enjoy. Definitely a place worth visiting!

Many bulk food items including baking goods, spices, nuts, oils, vinegars and more. Definitely worth a quick trip to see them if you're a fan of Sprouts. Better bulk at reasonable prices.

We tried the vegan muffin, and it was surprisingly delicious--super moist, flavorful, and definitely one of the better vegan muffins we've had.

A cozy little spot to enjoy a good coffee and a tasty treat, especially if you're looking for vegan or gluten-free options! They are also dog friendly

The service was quick and the barista recommended an americano since they didn't have a cold brew. But wanted to just try something new. Ended up getting the lavender latte instead, and it was actually really good.

The wait might be long if the cars in front of you have a large or complicated order but if you're not in a hurry it is worth it. Not super walkable though based on the location.
