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!

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.

The spot is open 24 hours, though fair warning, I do advise you to go during the day (like before 11am) because donuts specifically their more popular donuts can sell out rather quickly.

Upon entering you are at the counter where drinks are completed. You have to walk to the middle of the store to the register to place an order. The employees were friendly. I experimented and ordered a lavender vanilla latte which I had never had from anywhere before so I have nothing to compare it too. It was okay but I will be back to try something I'm more familiar with next time.

This is so much more than a specialty grocery store--it's an experience! They have a beautifully…read morecurated selection of high-quality provisions, from spices, granola, candies and pasta to vinegars, honey, coffee, and so much more. 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!

The smells are intoxicating, they always have a sample available too. Gotta check out the peanut butter. All three were fabulous. Grab a team member and get a sample. 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.
