I had such a positive experience coming into this location this morning for my caffeine fix. The lady behind the register was so friendly and attentive. I ended up buying a biscotti latte, which was delicious and something on their spring specialty menu. I also ended up getting a $20 gift card for my son's tricky tray the lady behind the register was kind enough to wrap it up. This place is such good energy. I would definitely come back to sit in and enjoy a cup of coffee and a pastry. read more

Ethan and The Bean - Iced latte! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Little Falls, New Jersey

This place has quickly become a fave for me. I really like trying different cafes and ever since trying this one I have come back two other times. Small cafe and quiet. I can definitely picture being able to get some work done in here. Service is great. Every time I have been, there hasn't been a line or long wait. They take their time making your order but the outcome is delicious. They also give you a punch card which I love. You get a punch in it every time you get a drink. I tried the oatmilk vanilla latte the first time and it was so good. The last two times I had their Ube latte, once iced and the other hot. I must say hot wins for me! I love that this place is a non profit and has a bigger purpose than just serving coffee. Highly recommend checking this place out. read more

Fantastic cafe with a great mission and genuinely excellent coffee. I'm partial to the seasonal menu items, especially the summer blueberry lavender iced latte. I had the fall hojicha harvest which was not very sweet and had excellent roasty flavor. We drive out about 10 minutes to grab coffee from here! read more

Randomly stumbled upon this coffee shop on Instagram and made my way over. I love that they're a non profit, allowing for employment opportunities for people who may have more difficulties obtaining a job. The service was fine, my latte and cookie were good. Just didn't feel very welcome, which marred the experience a bit. read more

This place was the highlight of my day! I've been wanting to visit this coffee shop, their mission is unique and so inspiring. The place is clean, neat, so vibrant and the coffee is AMAZING, I have so many great things to say but the first thing y'all should know is that I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE! I ordered an iced mocha (not too sweet) and they made it exactly how I wanted it. Then I saw a few fresh apple cider doughnuts and I had to get one, DELICIOUS! Although I'm a bit far from this coffee shop, I don't mind going for a ride, this is a one of-a-kind coffee shop with a great cause. Nothing more amazing and inspiring than a place that provides opportunities of employment to people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. You guys are amazing and I'm so looking forward to coming back! read more

I love this place!! The ambiance is great, the coffee and food is yummy and I can bring my laptop and productively work for a few hours. They have games and I have seen families enjoy playing them. Most importantly, this place employs individuals who are neurodivergent and trains them. I believe in the mission. And I like that the signs on the table promote tolerance, respect and inclusivity. There is free wifi. More business should be like this and we would live in a kinder world. Thank you Ethan and the Bean for being you!! read more

Heard about this shop from a great article from The Bergenite/northjersey.com and knew I had to pay them a visit. You walk in - the place is ultra-clean and vibrant with all sorts of artwork and merch and of course... the beans. The coffee (first visit I grabbed a pound of their mixed, on the second I got their dark) is stellar.  (Yeah, it's a tad expensive.  But what the shop is all about - awe-inspiring and worth supporting. ) The young lady behind the counter might very well be the nicest person ever (like, ever) to work retail and she happily answered my questions and I was out the door and excited to get home and grind up the beans that made my car smell so darn good. They also had treats 'n eats and teas and cold beverages as well.  (But it's that coffee that'll have me making the trek back up there sooner than later.)

I have been wanting to come here for a while now and finally made it! Super cute coffee shop that also sells baked goods, candles, notebooks, aprons, mugs, jewelry & more! I love that this coffee shop is a non profit, charitable organization & offers opportunities to individuals of all needs. I had their lemon cranberry bread which is dense, slightly on the dryer side and filling but very rich in flavor! I look forward to coming back & trying more of what they have to offer. The service was great, the cashier was very respectful and welcoming. read more

Great coffee and pastries and love the mission behind this coffee shop. Nice service.

What a great place to have a cup of coffee! I love what this place is all about Only disappointing part of my visit is that none of the kids we're working when we got there. Was told they work mostly in the morning so will have to make another visit soon My latte was great, the young lady that was there at the time was very pleasant and friendly and our latte and got chocolate was delicious We already had lunch so did not get to try any of the pastries Parking is a bit difficult, had to circle a half dozen times to get a spot but later learned there is town parking down the stairs in the back of this strip Of establishments I hope they continue to employ special Needs employees and continue to Open more coffee shops just like this read more

This coffee shop is a small hidden gem in downtown. The vanilla latter was creamy and delicious with the right hint of vanilla. I also purchased a chocolate chip cookie and after taking one bite i liked it to so much that I immediately purchased a 2nd one to take home. read more

The coffee is good here but it's not the best thing about Ethan and the Bean. The best thing about it is that they hire adults with developmental disabilities to work here and provides them the opportunity to have competitive employment. Nice atmosphere here & the staff are good about mask-wearing. Had the Grinch hot chocolate. Very good. read more

Coffee for a good cause. I was soooo excited to come by and this spot! I saw Ethan and the Bean in the paper last weekend and knew this was where I wanted to spend my #nationalcoffeeday ! I got a maple latte which was perfect and didn't need any additional sugar, it was just sweet enough, I also bought a large bag of fresh coffee and they ground it up for me (I don't have one at home right now). The large bag was only $14 and for artisan, fresh coffee, it's a great deal! They have merch on site as well. The barista informed me their a non-profit so your coffee comes with a good cause. You can sense the love in this shop, from the artwork to charl board of positive notes and aspirations. I will for sure be back! read more

Absolutely adorable little coffee shop! A coffee shop was needed in the area and I was excited to hear of their opening. Not only do they have delicious coffee, they serve it with a goal. A goal to train and employ a significant number of individuals with intellectual or development delays. I love this mission because it opens opportunities and helps these individuals feel empowered. Owner and employees are super inviting and friendly. The actual ambience is great and has comfy feeling to it. Definitely check it out and grab a cup of coffee! read more

Such a great little gem. Lattes have been really good. I usually have the oat milk and maple syrup. Heck of a lot better than the big store coffee houses that usually have a burnt taste. There are a few tables to sit down and enjoy a cup with a friend. The people are friendly, the place is nice and clean, oh.... And of course, it's a great cause. It's definitely a win-win. read more
