It had a nice modern feel and clean bathrooms. We had a group of four, and 3/4 said it was the best (Monte Cristo, Brunch Burger, and Club Sandwich) they ever had.

Went on a sunday morning so it was very busy due to no other stores in the area being open. The only thing we had to wait for was the food being delivered to our table took a little longer than usual. You will need to talk louder when having conversations due to how many people fit in the space. I also got some of the canned cream soda. It was so good i went back and bought 2 more cans before i left.

Breakfast available, so one in our party went with that, and that was the right choice for the day we were there. My wife and I each got a salad - I got the California Chicken, and she got the Chicken Harvest Apple Salad. The menu says they are each spring mix lettuce, but there wasn't much spring in either of ours - pretty much iceberg with a touch of darker greens. The chicken was thin and tasted fine, but didn't have a lot of seasoning. The bread was good, and if the lettuce had been closer to what we thought we were getting it would have made a significant difference. We just chose poorly. The breakfast platter looked amazing, and we saw a couple of wraps and sandwiches pass by that looked really good. Service was very pleasant and efficient, and our food came out in good time. They cleared our table as well and even though it pretty much counter service, there was more service provided than you might expect. We will try again and just stick to the sandwiches or breakfast. The lettuce mix may have been a substitute or may be what locals prefer; just wasn't what we thought we would be getting.

I am not from the area and was looking for a place to work for the day. After purchasing a cup of…read morecoffee from another establishment (who did not have ideal seating), I visited Queen Beans and asked if I could bring my outside coffee in if I purchased breakfast there. The staff member assured me it was no problem at all, so I bought breakfast and worked for the day. The next day, I followed the same routine (since I actually really enjoyed the other places coffee and I was already told it was no problem if I bring in outside drinks). However this time, a different staff member informed me that outside beverages were not allowed, but said I could stay if I poured my coffee into one of their cups. I completely understood and complied without any issue. 30 minutes later, the owner approached my table in an aggressive manner and began berating me for not following their rules. Despite explaining that I had received information from two employees allowing me to stay, the manager continued to reprimand me, stating it was common sense not to bring outside drinks. While I always respect the rules of any establishment, the owners disrespectful tone and demeaning language were shockingly disgraceful. I would not recommend dining here if you expect courteous and professional ownership or management.

We did a tour of the Templeton Rye (TR) Distillery and needed some lunch before hitting the road. It is conveniently located nearby TR, you have to drive by it to get to TR (coming from the south). The waitress said they serve breakfast all the time and that it's a local fav. However, I saw pork tenderloin and my decision was made. Customized toppings come on the side - I got pickles and onions. Condiments are on the table. The tenderloin was really thick, as was the breading. The tenderloin is bigger than the bun! It was a lot so I tossed about a 1/4 of my sandwich into a box and stuck it in the cooler for leftovers. The tenderloin was good, not the best I've had, but definitely you get your money's worth for under $7! Staff was friendly and she kindly split up the bills for our group.

We had croissant sandwiches with chicken salad mixes in the middle that were awesome. They made a lemon orzo pasta and cucumber dish with scotcheroos and cookies and a charcuterie board. We came for a private event so i'm assuming these aren't typically on the menu, however the bakery made all the food for us and if their menu tastes anything like that, i'm assuming it's wonderful! The team was super kind and considerate and everyone was going back for seconds and thirds of coffee. They have a beautiful back patio to sit on and the whole place just gave such a feeling of home and warmth. 10/10 recommend!
