I am newer to the area and was near this place. I could smell the coffee from the store! I saw people either going in or leaving with a cup of Joe. I just had to drop in and check them out. Inside the store I always check to see if it is clean and this place definitely was. We all have gone to places where we regretted it or saw nothing but a mess. This is not that place. Very clean on the inside. The people at this place where sipping on their beverage and they all looked content. I don't check the menu items over well. But I think they have bagels available and scones or muffins. But again- not 199% positive on that. When I went to this place I wasn't planning on cooking but then I could smell the coffee outside and hadn't had any coffee yet . I had a schedule to keep so I just walked in and got an iced cup of coffee. I feel like ai didn't over pay for the beverage. It was a decent sized iced coffee. The taste was great. I love supporting local and noting against bigger chains but it's just nice to know there are people starting up a joint and trying to provide for themselves and their family and make their mark in this world. I would highly recommend this place to anyone. So if you're in the downtown area, definitely visit them. I am guessing some of the businesses downtown draw in people to the downtown area, but also there's at the courthouse next door and they do a farmers market, so just make it part of your visit. Drop in, get a cup of Joe, or a nice tea, and then go about your day. read more

There is an older gentleman working the register who has consistently been very rude every time he has taken my order. This last time, I asked for a caramel macchiato and he said to go to Starbucks if I want something ridiculous like that. For anybody that hasn't worked in a coffee shop before, a macchiato is simply the espresso layered on top of the milk instead of mixed in. Yes, the exact same as a latte, just not mixed and usually has a little extra espresso. So if you can make a latte, you can make a macchiato. If you don't know what that is or it's not on your menu, that is literally okay, you can just say that nicely instead of snapping. Also, purely in my opinion, if you work in a coffee shop you should have some knowledge of the product. That's pretty standard for any workplace really; if you work there, you should at least be familiar with the product you work with. I've had negative interactions with this gentleman enough times now that I'm just going to avoid this shop going forward. I think they moved his shift to afternoons, but I just don't even want to take the chance of it being him at the register anymore. I'm not going to be snapped at for ordering a coffee. read more

Nice spot to grab a coffee while walking around. Not too long of a line. Staff is nice but seemed to be a little rushy if you were not sure. Can buy beans here which was a main factor in our stop. Good spot if you're looking for coffee flavored coffee! read more

I grew up around the corner from this shop, and I would only get chocolate chai lattes. Now, any time I come back to Wisconsin to visit, I HAVE to stop by and get my nostalgic drink. I'm so glad they haven't switched things up and they taste exactly the same. Forever one of my favorite coffee shops and everyone who works there is so kind! read more

Coffee Bean Connection - Iced chocolate chai latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Baraboo, Wisconsin

I came here hoping to get a small breakfast and coffee and work on my laptop specifically because it has a larger cafe space than other smaller coffee shops on the square. The staff is friendly and fast, and there were several clean tables to choose from to sit. I would love to see a more hospitable atmosphere, however. There were no plates on which to eat the bagel and cream cheese I ordered, I had to toast the bagel myself (the toaster was very clean, which I appreciated), and the cream cheese (for which they charge extra) was a small tub of Philadelphia cream cheese that was not even enough to cover the surface area of the bagel and a plastic knife. The wi-fi is free but so slow I couldn't open a simple Google spreadsheet, so I wasn't even able to do the work I came here to do. It's confusing to see such a large cafe area to sit and for the register to request a tip when the staff and service is more aligned with a to-go coffee shop. The food and vibe at nearby Powerline is much more conducive to spending some time and having an enjoyable experience despite it being a smaller space. read more

Cozy coffee shop with a great menu! Went every day we were in Baraboo. I brought some beans home and love the flavor!

Everyone here was so nice from the moment we walked in. There are several seats and the menu is large with lots of specialty drinks. Parking is ample outside. Will return! read more

Not a bad place, also not somewhere we go out of our way to hit up. It's nice to have a coffee place so close to the square with a lot of free parking near, but the hours are odd and they seem to be randomly closed when they're advertised as open so that's probably my biggest turnoff. The service is very friendly and the drinks are very prompt. There's a large menu of coffees and a variety of specialty drinks. I've had some specialty hot espresso drinks which were decent. The different types of smoothies taste good but have more of a frozen fruit-slushie vibe, yet to be impressed by the frappes -they are very watery and have large chunks of ice. It's a large shop so there's almost always plenty of room. It's a clean space, louder than most coffee shops I've been to and doesn't have a very cozy feel so I'd say it's better for picking up a drink and walking around the Baraboo square. All in all, it's nice to have a place to stop by if you need a little caffeine and friendly service, but it's nothing I feel like going out of my way for. read more

Friendly customer service & great coffee! I stop here every time I visit Baraboo. I enjoy their tea selection, chai lattes, vanilla lattes, and muffins. read more

Thank you Barb for making my day with you infectious smile and bright smile. You serve a mean cup of Joe!! I will be back for more!!! read more

A great place for purchasing coffee beans (flavored, regular roasts, organic and fair trade), loose leaf teas, and syrups. They offer espresso drinks, hot coffee, tea and smoothies. You can also pick up bakery items, grab in go drinks, snacks, and protein bars. The latte drinks were sufficient but everything else offered here makes it worth visiting. They also have sample packs of all of the coffees they offer. Lots of seating. Friendly staff. read more

Love this place -- service is friendly and efficient. We typically come on Sunday mornings after camping at Devil's Lake, so there's usually a scary-looking line but waits are surprisingly short. read more

Quick stop while camping at Devil's Lake. Might be the only coffee shop in the area!! The service was friendly & quick. Had an iced latte with almond milk. Simpler decor but clean. read more

This is a great coffee shop. So many fresh bean flavors and they will grind it for you. They also have small already ground bags to choose from. I got a dirty chia raspberry latte its good hints of cinnamon and raspberry. They also have teas or little packs of hot chocolate or chia containers. Good place for a caffeine break read more

I met someone here for a work meeting on a Wednesday morning. The tables are spaced out around the shop just enough so you can have a legitimate conversation with your colleagues. I ordered a cafe au lait with almond milk. Out came a cup of foamy deliciousness. I then had the luxury of choosing my own drip coffee from the 8 choices they had brewed. I've never been able to do that before. A gentleman came out from behind the counter and helped me choose the coffee, which was super handy. Another bonus? The baristas are friendly and the prices are just right, especially for the dells area. I'll be back for sure when in or around Baraboo!! read more

Tried to come here on a Friday evening from out of town. Says they're open for another hour but they were closed. So maybe call 1st to check hours. Super annoying. read more

I stopped in the Coffee Bean Connection on a recent Friday for some coffee and to get some work done. I grabbed a bottomless mug and stationed up in the corner. The staff was friendly and the coffee was great; they had at least eight drip options to choose from. The only food options are pastries so you have to go elsewhere for lunch or a hearty breakfast, but the scones were pretty good! The free WiFi kept me connected and met my needs. I was in on a non-holiday Friday in the summer and from about 8:00-10:30 when I left the place was packed. Almost all of the tables were full of friends or families sitting together, laughing, and enjoying their brews. This made it a fun atmosphere but ultimately led to me heading to the library for the rest of the day as it wasn't the best work environment. That's not what they're trying to be though, they have clearly nailed the Connection part of Coffee Bean Connection. read more

I stopped here while visiting Baraboo. Small town atmosphere, a 3 out of 5 (more tacky than trendy). Coffee is 4 out of 5 (easily drinkable but nothing to write home about). The coffee shop is clean and comfortable. Huge selection of coffee (64 different coffees by my count in their bins). I was told they use UP coffee from the twin cities. I got a double shot espresso of their Matador and their double French Roast coffee. read more

They are being very Covid safe. At this point in time there is no in house dining. Workers were very friendly and helpful. I appreciate the wide range of coffees they have available. And in case you aren't sure what your new favorite will be they have $2 one pot samplers to take home and try. My first try? Mexican coffee bean (not the proverbial Mexican jumping bean) decaf (don't mock me) espresso Just lovely read more

Not a bad little coffee joint. Glad to see Baraboo's downtown is picking up with local shops. For asshole Baraboo had become chainsville with much of downtown vacant. The iced latte wasn't bad. I'd recommend ordering with an extra shot... at least. They have two milk options 2% and 1/2 & 1/2. The had an interesting variety of baked goods, local sundries and pre-packaged junk food. Not sure where they source their coffee beans but if you're into flavored beans (not my thing) there are plenty of choices available in bulk barrels for you to choose from. I'm a local coffeeshop guy. The service was fast accommodating and friendly. So if you're looking for a cup of local java and you're nearby... I'd check them out. read more

The staff at Coffee Bean Connection are amazing! I'm always greeted with a smile and served quickly, even on busy days. I stop in 5-7 times a week to feed my caffeine addiction and I'm never disappointed. Baked goods are made mostly in house I believe, and they have so many delicious treats. They rotate some so you'll always have a new treat to try! I get an iced soy latte with flavor every time, though I've tried other drinks there and loved every single one. Definitely recommend to any local or tourist needing caffeine and wanting to support a small business. read more

Love it!!! Rich was wonderful this morning! And my cafe au lait was so good (both of them)!! The Coffee Bean Connection is a great treasure in Baraboo. The coffee selection is amazing. The atmosphere is very inviting. Thank you for making me feel at home! Wish I had this place to come to every day at home!! read more

Excellent coffee spot. They have amazing coffee which you can purchase to take home or order online, whole beans or ground. Can't beat the prices either so we're able to take plenty of high quality coffee home. I bought Michigan Cherry the first time & when the employee opened up the case, the strong aroma of fresh cherry filled the decent sized shop. You can also purchase loose tea or syrups (there are TONS to choose from) as well. Being from Chicago, it's always the number one place to stop at before heading up to the Dells. read more

Outstanding Coffee shop . We go every time we are in town visiting family . I highly recommend read more

Coffee Bean has been Baraboo's coffee shop for years. If you are looking for a variety of whole brands and a huge collection of flavored coffee, you'll find a big variety. The Bean ifs often crowded with locals including a big crowd of students in the afternoon. read more

Where should I begin? The coffee here is diner-grade at best. It's absolutely terrible; weak and with a distinctly rancid aftertaste. I tried a sip of all three coffees that were being served, and ended up dumping out the one that I chose. It was god-awful. Other observations: They don't grind espresso shots fresh (instead they grind enough coffee for hours and let it go stale in the grinder's hopper), so the latte drinks must be equally bad. Their bulk coffee beans are stored in tubs with flip tops in the sunlight. The tubs aren't airtight, which means the coffee just sits there going rancid. With such a large selection of beans, I wouldn't be surprised if many of their beans have been exposed to the environment for months. They don't serve pour-overs or french press, so there really is nothing here to earn a star. This place is a disgrace to coffee culture. All of that said, I doubt there is anywhere with good coffee in Baraboo. It's all diners and pastry "cafes". About me: I've roasted coffee at home for the last 8 years and own two professional espresso machines along with two pro grinders and a lot of other equipment,. read more

I would not have expected to find this gem in Baraboo Wisconsin. With Coffee Bean Connection who needs a Starbucks? I came to Wisconsin on a girls weekend to get out of the city and we stopped into downtown Baraboo to see where some of the girls we were with grew up. Around mid morning on a Saturday we came to Coffee Bean Connection to pick up some caffeine and I was pleasantly surprised. The store is quite large and the decor is very homey. Coffee Bean offers a wide variety of drink options as well as flavor add ins. I got an iced almond milk latte with flavor add in and it was so delicious I had to consciously drink it slowly. Since there were eight of us, we got to spend a little extra time chatting with the barista/owner/nice guy. There were a few patrons throughout sitting at tables and enjoying a relaxed Saturday. We got ours to go so we could walk around downtown, but next time perhaps I'll bring a book and stay for a bit. I will definitely be back here the next time I am in the area. read more

This is a cute little place. The coffee is very good and I love their large mugs. I don't live in Baraboo but I visit often and try to stop by when I'm in town. This business is a good addition to downtown Baraboo. read more

Cute, easy to find place that has wonderful coffees, a great selection of various kinds of brew were available for selection and of course all the mochas, chais and lattes one would expect. The bean selection is huge and offers a wide variety from around the world to choose from. On top of this the people were wonderful. We have been here several times now and have always walked away happy. read more

Service is friendly. Lots of seating. Free Wifi. Plentiful free parking on the streets around the joint. Coffee is priced at coffeehouse pricing. Coffee in the dispensers can be lukewarm, so check the temp before filling up your entire cup. read more

How I love the Service at the Coffee Bean, all the people are willing to help you find your new drink hot or cold and if you don't like it they are always willing to fix you another, they make it right, just ask. I go a few times a week now meet friends but it is nice place to take my 7 year old son, we have coffee dates there on Fridays.They know his drink order and mine, but they treat people from young to old with old fashion customer service. I love that. They have a variety of Tea and Whole Bean choices, that you can take hole, they will grind the beans if needed to your preference. They also have fresh baked goods and other snacks. Why I go to the Coffee Bean, no matter the time of year, it is a great place to go, meet friends, study and grab that Great Coffee to make anyone's day! read more

OMG! At first we were upset there is no Starbucks in the area. And than we came across this place and we were pleasantly surprised. The place is nice and clean, friendly staff and AMAZING coffee. We'll definitely be coming back again when we visit Baraboo. read more

Awesome little place to get coffee and take a break in downtown Baraboo. They offer many different flavors of coffee freshly brewed each day with very reasonable prices. Free internet makes it a plus, and cute coffee shop atmosphere makes it definitely a place to visit frequently! read more

Awesome little cafe. The outside doesn't really "draw you in", and because of that, I hadn't noticed the place existed for the longest time. But man I'm glad when I finally did. The coffee and tea are both some of the best I've had, while still remaining cheaper than others. Another big deal to me is the temperature at which they serve their beverages- Hot, but still drinkable and won't burn your mouth if you start drinking right away. If you're even reading this far into this review, and looking for a good coffee shop to go to, just go to this one, you won't be disappointed. I try to make a stop here at least once every time I'm in Baraboo. read more

Really good vibe and coffee here. The worker was very friendly and super helpful. We stayed for about 45 minutes and drank our coffee and relaxed. Would def. recommend! read more

I concur with other reviewers. This place has a great cup of Joe. I tried some of the highest rated coffee shops down south in Madison, but was by and large really disappointed. Not so here: I tried the "del fuego" or some-such blend (fair trade). Unlike some fair trade blends which may be "fair" but are not tasty, this one was earthy, rich with a lasting finish. Highly recommended. I would compare this to the Santa Cruz Coffee Roasting Co (Cal.). read more
