So for some reason they are using a very heavy perfume inside of the coffee shop, the last two…read moretimes my coffee has actually smelled & tasted like perfume not coffee. The first time I threw the coffee away and chalked it up to someone with lotion on their hands. Today, I did go in to complain and the I didn't notice the smell inside because I had already inhaled so much of it on my coffee cup, but when I got outside, I realized my hair and my clothes all smelled so bad of perfume now as well. So instead of doing my errands I had to come home and take a shower and throw my coat in the washing machine and spray my Jeep out with alcohol. A coffee shop should smell like coffee and donuts not perfume. Very disappointed.

This isn't your standard coffee shop. It isn't open at the crack of dawn. It isn't staffed by…read morehipster baristas. It isn't even a conventional business model (more on that below). But it is good coffee and one of your very few options in Wells. This isn't a coffee shop, but a coffee club. Rather than buy a cup of coffee, you buy a daily membership that lets you order as many drinks and as many pastries as you like. All day. There aren't many towns where I wouldn't foresee this being abused. It seems to work as The Bean has been around for a few years now, according to the owner. The owner was also the main barista, coffee roaster, host, and probably everything else. He was really amiable and anxious to talk about the business and the building. There is only one small, residential-grade espresso machine at work, so service isn't brisk, but we weren't upset with the pace. The menu board outlines the options, but we had no issue with getting something off-menu if we knew what was in it. A small roaster on the back counter worked to ready beans for later use. The space is large and comfortable. There is local art on the walls (available for purchase), a few couches and big windows looking onto Broadway. A great club to be a member of Tuesday through Saturday!

Best coffee shop in Storm Lake!…read more They have it all: good vibes, yummy drinks, and friendly staff. They even have small conference rooms you can reserve (or just use if they're open) for meetings or work. They're also female owned! They have a standard menu along with a rotating seasonal one. They also have a variety of food options for breakfast and lunch, including many vegan options. It can be hard to come by intentionally made vegan food in this area and the effort is much appreciated. There were some cookies and macarons out when we stopped by as well, the former of which was vegan and gluten free. Who knew such a woke business was tucked away in Storm Lake? They also have a drive thru, but I recommend stopping inside with a friend for a nice morning in town. I tried a mint mocha seasonal drink and the aforementioned vegan oatmeal cookie. Both were great and I would get them again. This is my new go-to coffee shop in Storm Lake and it is absolutely worth a visit.
