    Family!

    This was a few months back, but I still wanted to give them a shout out for everything about this coffee shop. Located right downtown, we went on a Saturday and it was pretty busy. Long line but didn't bother us as we expected it. Service great, lattes were hot and good, store was clean and so was the bathroom. We were able to snag a table which I'm sure doesn't always happen when they're that busy. Did notice some people on computers which I'm ok with, but if it was me I'd offer up the extra seats to people when it's that crowded. Just saying....I don't remember the prices at that time, but we choose here because their prices were better than ANY OTHER COFFEE SHOP in that area. It was budget friendly for sure. This was about 3 months ago, so just check online menu if you need to know ahead of time.

    Coffee shop is very cute. Great place to study or WFH. The employee gave me a great suggestion for my order. Very nice staff. Latte tasted great. Reasonably priced (way cheaper than starbucks). 10/10.

    What a fantastic little coffee spot. I asked if I could have my coffee in a mug instead of a to go cup and they happily obliged! There's just something about wrapping your hands around a ceramic mug. My sandwich was also delicious on an Asiago bagel!

    Great study spot! It's so cute and cozy with lots of seating. Loved their handwritten menu and how much variety there was. Their jasmine ginger tea was DELICIOUS.

    Vegan Breakfast Sandwich

    I tried Bean and Leaf's vegan breakfast sandwich and I am so glad I did! I was skeptical that it would taste good because I know it's not their specialty but I loved it! Service is was quick and the staff was friendly, which is always a plus. I am happy to find a local quick vegan breakfast option while out and about that I can grab on the go! It's served on a bagel with a vegan egg and I would come back just for this.

    Vegan Breakfast Sandwich & Vegan Bagels (Plain & Everything)

    Searching for Vegan Pastries and Breakfast items, I found the vegan sticker on the window and decided to see what was available. A breakfast sandwich option with a vegan sausage, vegan cream cheese, and vegan everything bagel or vegan plain bagel. Other vegan items available were the vegan banana bread, vegan peanut butter chocolate chip cookie, and vegan muffins. Alternative milk options for lattes and teas as well makes this a solid vegan spot to check out! Only challenge is needing to find some street parking at $1.25/hr, or add a block walk from the parking garage on the street behind. Nice atmosphere for light socializing or relaxing by the small fireplace to catch a short break. If you have more vegan sweet craving, the Sanders Chocolates store across the street has a vegan dark chocolate salted carmel waiting for you, as well as a great variety of Kars Trail mixes.

    I ate dinner downtown, enjoyed walking around to see the lights, and then stopped into Bean & Leaf for the first time to grab a warm drink with coworkers. It was busy, but not incredibly loud. Like I often do I asked the employee behind the counter how his night was going and he didn't seem incredibly unhappy but he wasn't thrilled to be there either. Whatever. I ordered 4 large drinks, and they were ready quickly. Tasted good. We were there for about 15-20 minutes, not paying attention to the time, and the same employee (older man) came out from behind the counter shouting "WE CLOSE AT 9 O'CLOCK, WHICH IS RIGHT NOW!" and shut off the lights to the "Open" sign. It was definitely an angry shout and not a good mannered "I'm trying to get everyone's attention" voice. It was incredibly awkward. I highly suggest they get a "countdown" clock that customers can see how many minutes until close, or make an announcement 5, 10, or 15 minutes before closing. It could have been easy to have let me know when I ordered that you were closing shortly. Yes, I could have looked at the door when I walked in and looked at my phone to check the time but I was enjoying the company I was with. I have no reason to ever go back.

We were seated immediately and it was so empty because it was 4, before dinner rush. It was very quiet inside which was nice. Our server was super awesome. She got us drinks and bread right away and gave us time to see the menu. We ordered our food and started eating. The bread was very tough which was strange. I don't remember it being so hard. I asked for another bread when she brought out refills. The new one wasn't as tough but it was still hard. I let my husband eat it and he ate some of it but agreed it was tougher than usual. He ordered calamari and ate all of it. He said it is super delicious. The fettucine alfredo we ordered came out. It tasted so amazing. It was so buttery and creamy, a definite improvement from a few years ago. We were very impressed with the food overall. The only issue was the bread. The service was really great as well.

Our server was friendly and attentive. Their signature bread was hot and delicious. We tried the Costa Rican fish and Chicken Marsala. First the green beans were delicious. I really hate it when the veggie side dish is mushy, an after thought or a medley. Portion size good and marsala sauce was yummy. My husband enjoyed his fish. I got their special midnight martini and they shake/mix and pour at your table. Taste and presentation good. My husband got an old fashioned and while it tasted good, zero presentation. The smores cheesecake was delicious and after dinner coffee hot and strong so I was happy! Overall lovely evening.

Awkward foyer so it is hard to find a spot to sit or stand and wait for your table. A little awkward staring at the people eating at the tables while you wait for a table for yourself. We usually retreat to the back of the restaurant there is a little hallway before the restroom that has a line of chairs in order to get out of the way from the front door. The decor could use a little makeover but at the same time it does give a warm grandma's kitchen vibe. Single stall bathroom in back is ok - feels a little grimey though. Menu has both breakfast and lunch. Be sure to get the fresh squeezed orange juice - it is a pricey treat but so worth it. They also have specials that are written above the kitchen so be sure to check those out. Staff are great and working hard hustling back and forth between tables and the kitchen. Never feel neglected or that they are too busy to check in. Food is awesome! Had a little but of everything but the quiche was my favorite. Portion sizes are great (other than the fresh squeezed OJ).

The next thing you notice as you round the corner and see that there's much more of the restaurant, is the smell of pine. Every surface - walls, floor, and ceiling - is made of pristine planks of pine. I feel like I've been camping, and I found an amazing spot among the pines. I ordered a cup of clam chowder. $8 seems like a bit much for a small cup at first, until you take your first taste. There's so much savory clam coming through with every spoonful. I took my time finishing the cup. My wife ordered the salmon salad, which also seemed to have a smallish portion, but which made up for it with quality. That seems to be the theme here. I'm glad I had heard about this one before, otherwise I would never have thought to order the knuckle sandwich. It's nothing at all like what the name suggests (I.e. large amounts of ham and steak); it's actually lobster. No: actual lobster. Not that imposter they serve at some places. It's like a lobster roll on a buttery grilled cheese sandwich. I wanted the experience to last with this amazing sandwich. I can't wait until I get to enjoy another amazing meal with the smell of pine in the air.
