    Very cute coffee shop. It's a very chill atmosphere and workers are very nice, informative, and helpful(hence the 4 ). Hubby ordered a cold brew bender w/java chips. It wasn't very flavorful like you'd expect; tasted more like the ice used to blend it. (like a mild flavored slush) We'd definitely give it another try another time, just order something not frozen.

    Lovely spot in Winston. Great cozy atmosphere and delish smoothies. Big menu with fun specials. Great service. Lattes are a bit too milky for my liking!

    This is a great place to come in and get a quick coffee or a bite to eat in the morning. They've got a pretty good selection of vegan baked goods. I'm not vegan personally but they're still delicious and well made. It's not a huge variety and I'm not sure where the baked goods are sourced but I've always been satisfied and happy with everything I've bought there. They usually have different slices of sweet style breads like banana bread, but in other "flavors" like cranberry. They also usually have muffins, yogurt parfaits and fruit cups. There's also some type of gelato but I haven't tried it. Beyond food and snacks the selection of coffee and drinks is good and the staff seems to know their stuff. I'm boring and usually get an Americano but I did have a perfect London Fog here a few weeks ago that really hit the spot. It seems to be a popular place with nearby students and a lot of people will hang out to do work or relax. Their hours are very generous too and you can come here for a late coffee or snack well into the evening. Staff is always friendly, welcoming and prompt. Finally the value of everything is great and all the food and drinks are very reasonably priced. Only real downsides are the food offerings aren't extensive beyond baked goods and the actual indoor space is somewhat small and low capacity. Overall it's an enjoyable solid local coffee spot that I'd recommend to anyone visiting downtown Winston-Salem.

    We were in downtown Winston and saw this coffee shop and decided to try it, we did come in about 10-15 before closing which I know can be annoying but I was craving coffee!! Despite that, the employees were sooooo nice!!! The atmosphere was amazing, there was art on the walls you could purchase and a water fountain (it was currently not working but if it were, it would've been amazing). I got the honey bun latte and when I tell you it was like drinking a honey bun I mean it. My girlfriend had the gingerbread latte and it was good too, she enjoyed it but I am not a fan of gingerbread. I also had the vegan and gluten free brownie, you can tell it was made with applesauce because it had a slight fruit taste, but honestly it added to the flavor. It was very moist. My girlfriend had the pumpkin bread which was also delicious. I totally recommend this place!

    Wonderful to finally have an iced coffee that's worth the money! Was very impressed the cup wasn't full of ice and a few ounces of drink (in comparison to Starbums). The employees at Debean on a Sunday were sweet, fast and orders were accurate. The brown sugar sweeteners did not overpower the coffee flavor (I tasted my partners coffee) . I had an iced matcha that was blended perfectly consistent throughout- from top to bottom, the matcha powder was suspended evenly- no clumps; not like some of the watered down versions at other places that have green layers sunk to the bottom of the cup. There was a cute blue eyed pup in there and DeBean added a water fountain, just like their High Point location.

    Don't go here unless you want a latte only made of milk. The coffee is very inconsistent and it's overpriced. I asked for an extra shot of espresso because of how milky it was and it's still taste like pure milk the photo

    Can't believe I waited so long to come here. I had a great time in this super cute and cozy spot right by IQ/Bailey Park. I came just after noon and it was quiet/empty which was nice, found a parking spot right in front too. I got a drip coffee with peppermint syrup and it was just the pick me up I needed. They have plenty of seating, a great merch/retail section (I might have to get a specialty bag of beans next time), and tasty looking baked goods/gelato that will be on the list for next time. Also, as some other reviewers mentioned, they're open early which is awesome.

    Cozy, little small business great little ambience and wonderful coffee, selections and drinks. Service is vast counter service a wide variety of hot cold tea. Espresso is frozen and there's seasonal favorites.

    Still a great spot for a warm bevvie. I got the London fog at my most recent visit. They have such a great selection and a great spot to sit.

    Vegan Gelato! (Brownie flavor!!!)

    Simply can't recommend DeBeen Espresso more! One of my absolute favorite spots in Winston for coffee + snacks. The shop is usually very calm, quiet, + a nice place to study. Their espresso is perfect + they have such a wide variety of flavors, including an extensive sugar free syrup selection. (Sugar free almond is the best IMO!) My fiancé's favorite drink has to be their chai latte with oat milk though. It's lovely- ++ Can't forget the treats! As someone who is vegan, this shop is the very best. Almost every single baked good is completely plant based + they all taste incredible. Plus!!! They have homemade vegan gelato! The flavor rotation changes fairly often, so if you see the chocolate brownie flavor... don't pass it up! P.S. The baristas are so sweet + almost always offer samples of the gelato!

    When I am craving a public space to work from my computer for extended hours, I like to come here. The interior isn't too cold (I still bring a jacket because I'm cold blooded), the seats are pretty comfy (I still bring a blanket or pillow to sit on) and the cafe guests are typically a laid back group. Mostly people come in and out to get a coffee or snack, but some stay and work/study, or sit and chat quietly. The staff are usually pretty solid when it comes to helping pick something out - especially during the holidays the there are new seasonal treats. The baked goods, gelato, and drinks are all really great! I recommend!

    We came in on Saturday afternoon while visiting Bailey Park to have an afternoon treat. There was some comfortable seating as well as tables with the usual students working on assignments. I got a frozen regular latte and my wife got a flavored kombucha. They had too many choices so I stuck with a basic. It was just what I needed after being in the sun.

    Marie O.

    It was a beautiful sunny warmish day Saturday and husband and I were downtown so we stopped in. I didn't feel like hot coffee so I appreciated the kombucha bar area. They even offer tastings! I tried the chai kombucha and it was delicious. My husband ordered a frozen coffee blend drink and I tried it and tasted strong notes of vanilla but he said it was a regular coffee blend. It seriously was one of best blended cold coffee drinks I have tried in a long time and will definitely get it next time. I did love my kombucha though. Place had a nice vibe, lots of seating and ac was strong. The staff were amazing.

    Chai & Strawberry smoothie! Best ever!!!! XOXOXO

The bakery case was empty on our lunch visit which was disappointing so we stuck to the lunch menu. We tried a Toasted Ham and Cheese on Sourdough which was simple but good. I liked the soft bread with a great crust, although it's not like sourdough we make at home or grew up with in California. Its flavor is closer to white bread, but a great bread either way. It's toasted in a counter top oven, so no butter on this one. It's light on the ham and a decent amount of cheese, it was pretty tasty. The pretzels were a mystery. We saw photos of small twisted pretzel sticks and also saw single large pretzels. But there were none in the bakery case so we asked. They said they should be ready now, so we were excited for some hot fresh pretzels that just got finished being made. Unfortunately, by ready now they meant thawed out. While it was warmed up in the oven, it was still cold inside, so not a fresh baked or homemade item. It was also two medium sized pretzels served with a spicy mustard and beer cheese. So who knows what you'll get as they seem to change product frequently. We also had a molasses cookie cream sandwich that was pre-packaged that was great. Also had a Kolsch on draft that was good, but not my favorite. Overall, a great addition to Old Salem with a little something for everyone. I'll be back to try that Bratwurst on a pretzel bun with sauerkraut and spicy mustard.
