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!

Gracie took my order and was extremely friendly. Once my bowl was ready, she brought out to me. After a while I decided to take the rest to go. Another employee gladly got me a cover and even bagged everything up for me. They have several options for bowls and 3 sizes to pick from. You choose your base, fruit toppings, and other toppings- granola is already included with all bowls. The acai base could have had a little more flavor but the consistency was PERFECT! It was freshly blended when I ordered, so it wasn't icy or hard like some other places I've been. The fruit toppings and granola were good and a really good portion. There is plenty of parking outside , and plenty of seating inside if you want to eat there. The music was upbeat, which added to the whole experience. When I left it looked like Gracie (who took my order) was on her break, but she still looked up and said goodbye to me by name! I definitely appreciated the amazing customer service experience!

There's small tables for 2-3 people/table inside, and some great picnic seating outside (umbrellas included!) we chose to eat our açaí bowl and toast outside to enjoy the weather.

This is easily my favorite place to go and get a cup of coffee partially bc the vibe is so comfortable, but also bc they have an assortment of non traditional seasonal drinks that you can only find here. Oh, and there's a food truck too, serving up delicious breakfast sandwiches and breads. I'm writing this late bc I procrastinated but I remember exactly what I got - a strawberry shortcake cold brew that was delicious. Paris got an iced vanilla latte with caramel and we dined on avocado toast, breakfast sandwiches and "French toast" with cream cheese icing.

When I tried to use them at the Severna Park store, I found that they had already been depleted. The employees there looked into it, confirmed there was an issue, and suggested I contact Rise Up customer service. I took pictures and sent the exact card pictures to the email website as directed. Also, it takes them a good minute to respond to an email just an fyi. After reaching out, I was told their records showed a zero balance, but no meaningful explanation or resolution was offered. What makes this especially concerning is that all four cards appeared to have gone from their full value directly to a zero balance, rather than being used gradually for coffee purchases. That seems unusual and left me wondering what happened. I appreciate the helpful staff at the Severna Park location, but I was disappointed that customer service didn't investigate further or offer any assistance. I hope Rise Up reviews its gift card processes and does more to help customers in situations like this. I should add that they suggested for me to go and ask the person I received the gift cards from which was students...I am NOT going around guessing which students/their parents about a past gift cards. I won't be recommending gift cards from Rise Up and will be honest about this place so my coworkers are aware not to put this as a favorite for a gift or treat!

I love eating at this facility! They have a drink called the blue banana with blue spirulina (I…read moreprobably spelled that wrong), but you get it.

I would highly recommend coming in here if you want to try something besides smoothie king that is also really good for you with natural ingredients. The owner is very proud of her store and everybody there seems happy which makes me really happy too.
