Fast and friendly service. I ordered the mocha. Espresso was a little lackluster; even Starbucks does a better job. Unfortunately, I got a few sips of pure chocolate syrup on the bottom of my cup. I'd probably return to try their standard brewed coffee, but espresso drinks will be a big no. read more

Let me start this review by saying I'm a guy who likes a plain latte. No sugary syrups for me. If you like the sugary drinks you may like this place. I went on a recommendation by a local. The cars were lined up in both sides of the drive thru. It seemed like they had a good business. However, I should have known what I was getting into when I saw that they use automatic espresso machines. The latte was below average but not terrible. I post this review for people like myself who may be visiting the area so they don't spend the 4+ dollars on a drink you won't like. But, like I said, if you're into the caramel lattes with tons of sugar you may indeed like this place. read more

I've been to Joe Beans three times within 48-hrs because the coffee was so delicious! This is a classic drive-thru coffee shop or house located down the street from Liberty University. When its busy they have some of the staff come outside to take your order, so I guess you got to know what you want. There are menus posted on all sides of the coffee house but it maybe difficult to see at a distance. Joe Beans does the foundational items well: drip coffee and espresso. From there for the non-purists, they have a list of flavors to choose from to make your coffee experience one of a kind. They also offer pastry goods from Cinn City (which is also yummy) but I didn't order any from Joe so I can't speak to the quality. Customer service was good, not amazing but good especially considering COVID and all the stress that comes with drive-thru, forward-facing (contact with people in the flesh) situation. Overall, quick, decent quality and moderately priced cup of joe! read more

The coffee was delicious we got a iced mocha and it had a rich body flavor on the other hand the cinn city cinnamon roll was like eating rubber it was marked c 2/16 which I'm thinking meant sell by this date the young lady in Appomattox must have warmed it up to long because it wasn't edible we tried to eat couple bites and ended up throwing it away. Save your money and just purchase the coffee. Kinda disappointed because it was a waste and we had hoped to like it as we had never tried anything other than the coffee. read more

I stop at several of their locations around the area, on a regular basis. The service and quality of food is great and consistent. Every employee that I've dealt with always has a smile on their face and is friendly. I often get a smoothie. My only complaint is that the straws are too thin for a smoothie (probably fine for iced coffee). But, I carry my own "fatty" silicone straw with me now, so now worries. And, better for the planet. read more

Joe Beans is a new fav of ours! We are from out of town and my little sister recommended we stop for some coffee here on our way back to Atlanta. So glad we did! This place is literally a little shack looking thing in the middle of a lot. It has 2 drive-through windows, one on each side. We pulled up to the window and placed our order. It is the fastest and cheapest coffee spot I've ever been to. We ordered 2 small coffees and citrus chamomile tea with honey and paid a little over $5. That's the price of 1 cup of coffee at Starbucks! Overall, I have a new love for Joe Beans. If I'm ever in the area again I will definitely stop by here again. read more

The best.. This coffee is the best coffee. You will ever drink once you have it it will become an everyday staple on your ride to work. It does not taste burnt, old, Ree-brude, used, you will not need to add water to it to drink it. It is absolutely best coffee and a hundred mile radius. They also have coffee on Timberlake, and in Appomattox ,in Forest it is a must-have! Believe me, I have lived in Italy and they have the best coffee you have to try JoeBean! Don't forget their customer punch card after so many coffees they give you a free coffee! read more
