We had a lengthy time span between check out at the Airbnb and check in at the airport. We decided to wander around the island to take in the last bit of relaxation before returning to the insanity of our jobs. We drove down to where the Anna Maria pier once was to walk around the shops in that area. We both wanted coffee and something light to eat and how could you not stop at a place called Cool Beans? We are both children of the 80's and that is certainly a throwback to our childhood. First glance inside revealed a quaint shop with a ton of local fare inside. They don't just sell coffee, smoothies, and breakfast sandwiches. The place was very clean and there were a handful of seating options. We both ordered Americanos and bagel breakfast sandwiches. The coffee was delicious and fresh. The sandwiches were very tasty and hit the spot but if I'm being perfectly honest, there was nothing that made them stand out among all the other breakfast sandwiches I've eaten. It's very difficult to make your breakfast sandwich stand out but they certainly tried their best. The cheese options were a little on the unusual side and having feta cheese made it all the better. I would rate this place a little above a 4 star (maybe 4.5) but there is so much "stuff" in the place that it makes it feel cramped and uncomfortable. My only regret is not ordering a smoothie. Their smoothies looked absolutely delicious and had I tried one of those, I may have given them 5 stars. If you are wandering the island, I highly recommend trying this place. I love the fact that most of the items for sale were local and it had the "shop local" vibe but as soon as Cool Beans AMI can move to a larger place, I would definitely recommend it. It has great potential! read more

My wife and I visited this coffee shop on beautiful Anna Maria Island, FL this morning and we had a great coffee experience. The shop is very convenient right on the corner/right across the street from Anna Maria Island Pier, is nicely decorated on the outside of the shop and on the inside of the shop, employee Mandy is friendly, patient, and makes delicious coffee drinks, the menu has a surprising variety of drinks (with a tone of different kinds of flavored syrup) and food items (including sno cones!, and the breakfast I just ate from their shops was sooo delish!), and their FREE WiFi was solid. read more

Yikes. Worst coffee we had on the island all week. Hard do not recommend. - TASTE: we drink mochas regularly and tried four shops during our week on AMI, this was clearly the worst. The drink consisted of maybe one shot of espresso, 4 cups of milk and a teaspoon of chocolate sauce drizzled on the sides and lid of the cup. It was just a milk drink with a hint of espresso and zero chocolate. - SERVICE: the woman at the register and another making the drink were all very friendly and happy to chat. Unfortunately the awful drink tanks this place overall. read more

Wanted to check out a local coffee shop and this one popped up - I was excited to check it out when I saw the food menu but was very underwhelmed when I got there. It's very small and looks more like a convenience shop than anything else. I was hoping for a family friendly place where my son and I could enjoy a nice breakfast together on a weekend morning before the beach crowds went nuts. I got a red eye (black)- the barista recommended having it hot. It was pretty tasty which is why it gets 4 stars but loses one for lack of atmosphere. read more

They also sell some CBD/delta drinks if you don't want to drink alcohol - which was cool because I didn't know those existed until I went there.

While waiting, I noticed the woman greeting other guests very warmly, with things like "come on in, baby." When our table was called, she mispronounced my husband Tony's name. He simply corrected her and said, "Tony," and her response was, "whatever." As we approached the entrance, she was standing in the doorway and I finally asked, "Can we come in? It's hot out here." Her demeanor immediately changed and she silently moved aside and led us to our table. I'll be honest: once I sat down, I cried for about five minutes out of anger. I'm pregnant, I was hungry, my two young children were with us, and after waiting so long I didn't feel like I could simply pick everyone up and start over somewhere else. I also didn't want to have an argument in front of my children, so I swallowed a lot of what I wanted to say. I can't say what motivated the difference in treatment, but as a Latina woman, I noticed it and it made me uncomfortable--especially when I later watched difficult interactions happen with two other Latino tables as well. I was glad to see apologies and much warmer treatment afterward, but our initial interaction had already affected what should have been a nice family breakfast. Thankfully, a second server eventually took care of us and our experience with her was much better. We ultimately waited around another 40 minutes for our food. I'm not writing this because I expect special treatment. I expect the same basic courtesy given to every other guest. Whatever the reason for the initial behavior, responding "whatever" when a customer politely tells you his name is disrespectful and unnecessary. I hope management takes this feedback seriously, because no guest should leave a breakfast table wondering why their family seemed to be treated differently.

They had a line out the door, which says something! They let people know it could be a few minutes before their order was ready, so kudos on not overpromising. Coffee was great read more

This is hands down the BEST espresso you will find. Me and my boyfriend drove an hour everyday just to come get this coffee. 10/10.

While every other coffee…read moreshop we checked was still closed, they were open bright and early at 6:30 a.m.--exactly what we needed to start our day. We ordered a hot latte and the daily special, an iced banana bread latte, and both were excellent. The banana bread latte was especially delicious, with just the right balance of sweetness and coffee flavor. Beyond coffee, they offer fresh juices, açaí bowls, and a variety of breakfast bites, making it a great one-stop spot for breakfast or a quick morning pick-me-up. The space itself is beautifully curated and thoughtfully designed, creating a welcoming atmosphere that's perfect for easing into the day. A special shout-out to Sara, who provided friendly service and made us feel right at home. If you're an early riser (or not trying to wait until 8 am!) looking for quality coffee, a healthy breakfast, and a charming space to relax, The Happy Manatee is definitely worth a visit. We'll be back the next time we're on the island!

This place is soooo good…read more My group and I accidentally stumbled into this place randomly without knowing they closed in 5 minutes. They didn't show any annoyance though and happily took our orders. We ordered one strawberry banana and one piña colada smoothie. The piña colada one was kind of crazy. I don't know what they put in that but it literally taste like the real thing. It was perfect in the heat. We also ordered a caramel mocha iced coffee and a strawberry matcha. They were honestly both very good. The employees got our drinks out very fast and they even gave us some great recommendations of things to check out! The inside was cute and had a few tables available.

They accept tap. There is free street parking for 2hrs (there are some times and dates specified when it's not) and there's a free parking lot as well. On a friday morning, parking right outside the cafe was easy. Indoor and outdoor seating. They offer canned drinks and seltzers, as well.

That cute plastic cup with the soda-style lid isn't free to provide, it costs them more, and it's genuinely part of what makes the experience feel special. This little tucked-away coffee shop is adorable, and I wasn't expecting much going in but it was so worth it. Worth the wait, worth the price. They grind whole coffee beans fresh right in front of you, so it doesn't taste like watered-down coffee it tastes like coffee actually should. Such a different experience from Starbucks. I had an iced latte with sugar-free vanilla bean and cinnamon cold foam, and my daughter had an iced latte with vanilla bean and coconut cold foam both were beyond excellent. I could honestly drink this every day and never get tired of it. My daughter had actually wanted to leave once we got there since it was so crowded, but I'm really glad we stuck it out. I'm not usually a huge coffee shop person myself, but this place changed my mind. If you're in the area, it's worth checking out because it's clearly worth the wait. Worth every penny.

The review is realistically 3.5 stars…read more I like the vibe of the place. It has such cute merchandise that seems to be local and unique, and has such a nice ambiance to it. The menu was small but I liked that it was elegant and to the point, not trying to do anything too crazy. I got a coconut milk latte with coconut foam. Did I enjoy it? Yes. Would I come back? Not really. I thought that while the latte was delicious, it does not offer me anything extra that warrants around 40$ for three lattes.
