I would have gotten a drink, but I wanted to try the matcha place close to here, so ended up just trying a carrot cake bite. I guess I was expecting a sweet snack, but it was a little more on the healthy/granola-y side of things and came out of the fridge. Not bad--just not what I expected! They also have some interesting chocolate bars I was eyeing (I think I saw one with apple and cheddar). Would definitely come back.

I couldn't figure out from the photos on Google what the parking situation was here, so let me be…read morethe first to let you know that this coffee shop is in a plaza/strip mall with a large public shared lot - yay! The decor of this shop is delightful - there's a beautiful, colorful mural on the wall and lots of gorgeous plants. The tile on the coffee counter makes me feel like I'm on an exotic vacation. This is clearly a spot people love to hang out and get work done as almost every table - both inside and in the outdoor area - was full with someone on a laptop working on Labor Day, and I can see why - the vibes are great and the music is relaxing. There's an overall scent of spice and fancy coffee. I was really excited to see an Ube Shaken Espresso on the seasonal summer menu, so that's what I ordered - made with almond milk. The cashier that took my order was very polite and let me know that the ube cold foam was made with heavy cream and asked if that was ok. A glutton for anything ube, I said yes - however, I found it had a strong milk flavor that kind of overpowered the ube notes more than I'd like. The drink could have also been a little sweeter, I wonder if there was a flavored syrup or ube syrup I could have added. They had both dessert and food options, including a lot of Halal empanada options that looked delicious. I'd like to go back to try more of what is on the menu and see what's on their next seasonal menu - the Yemeni teas would be of interest, as well as the baked goods. I will certainly keep it in mind next time I'm in the area, it's a cozy spot with unique offerings you don't see in many places locally!

I wasn't too sure what to get but i remembered on the website. There was a video of a customer mentioning how the acai bowls were good after a workout. So i decided to try it. Right away I was happy about the presentation. Good amount of fresh fruit sliced up carefully on top. Then the sweet frozen smoothie underneath with granola. I made sure to blend it in well. Now I understand to someone more familiar with acai bowls this is the usual. But for me it was my first one and a great starting point.

Varied seating - high tops, low tops, soft chairs, bar seating. The cafe menu has so many healthy options to choose from and I've never had something I didn't enjoy. Coffee is great as well.

We put Bean Bakery Café into the GPS, and on the way there, we passed a plaza with another Bean Café location. We were a little confused at first, but decided to stop at the one we passed since it was closer. I'm not sure why the GPS sent us to the other location, but I'm glad we spotted this one! We ended up getting a cheesecake cupcake, which was phenomenal, and a chocolate-covered cannoli cupcake that was also really good. We also got a chocolate chip cookie that was honestly to die for! We tried an iced coffee as well. It was good, although it had so much flavor that it didn't taste much like coffee to me. I will say the prices are definitely on the higher end for a bakery, but I also believe you get what you pay for, and the quality of the baked goods was there. Everything we tried was delicious, and I would definitely come back to try more of their treats. It was a great little find while we were out looking for a birthday treat!

Overall, a great spot for coffee and something sweet, and I would definitely go back!

My wife had a steak dish, I believe. She enjoyed that too. Those three items are the only reason we're still at three stars. I had an asparagus risotto dish. Highly disappointing. Seemed like (a) they used regular rice instead of arborio and (b) they pureed all the asparagus. And the flavor was underwhelming. I make risotto, myself. I always have big chunks of things in it.
