Stopped to get a little bite to eat and coffee before driving up to Canada. I got the BLT croissant with a black coffee and she got the jalapeño sunrise bagel with dirty chai latte. Both sandwiches were absolutely superb. The coffee was strong and hot and the latte was delicious. The lady who took our order was very friendly and helpful. read more

When I was little my mom would take me to Burger King and get me a croissanwich sandwich with bacon and cheese. It was my favorite childhood treat. As an adult, I was in a hurry and needed a quick meal around brunch time, Lean Bean was on the way and had a short wait. I tried their jalapeño bagel with cheese and bacon and man it was THE BEST! Sounds so simple but it was way better than BK (obviously) and so delicious! They put plenty of bacon and the cheese was perfectly melted. The jalpeno bagel was perfectly toasted and it was DELICIUS!

I have given this little coffee shop a few tries and they just arent consistent. Today i went and ordered a decaf hazelnut breve, with half the hazelnut. Instead I got a sugar free vanilla something and it was AWFUL. I know coffee well and there's a big difference between vanilla and hazelnut and half the syrup and sugar free. The girls working are friendly, but seem a bit too preoccupied with visiting than with preparing drinks correctly. I wish I could say it was better than it was, but it just wasn't. Also, the reason I didnt go back to allow thrm to fix it was because i was in a big hurry. read more

I had only been here twice and the girl remembered my drink- that's impressive! I know they see so many people a day! And oh my goodness get the Cali Bagel and add bacon! It's cream cheese, avocado, tomato & I added bacon! So delicious and the bagel tasted so fresh! Not to mention the avocado was so green! Hate when I get avocado and it's brown- this was fresh!

This coffee stand, is the closest one to my house, so it's definitely my most frequented. Lean Bean offers standard coffee stand fare...a multitude of coffees, teas, zip fizz, red bull, blended drinks, breakfast sammiches and pastries. The girls that run this particular location, really seem to enjoy working with each other and act like they love working there; I appreciate that! They always try to remember your 'regular order' and are super sweet and efficient. If they didn't touch the tip (where you put your mouth), of the straw, with their bare fingers, every single time (all of them do it), they would be getting 5 stars! Overall, it's a great little spot! read more

It's a toasted artisan bagel with cream cheese, tomato, avocado, and crispy bacon. We also serve breakfast and lunch/dinner fare. Lean Bean carries a wide variety of specialty beverages.

They had a lot of unique latte options instead of just the same basic flavors you can get anywhere, and I liked that they leaned into local touches with huckleberry items. That's the kind of thing that makes it feel like you're actually getting something from the area and not just another copy-paste coffee stop. It's also in a great spot if you want to make more of an afternoon out of it. There are cute little shops around downtown, and you're close enough to wander over toward the park and the lake after grabbing coffee. It's an easy place to stop, walk around, and actually enjoy Coeur d'Alene for a bit. Definitely worth checking out, especially if you like flavored lattes and want something a little more interesting than the normal coffee chain run.

As someone who is more introverted, the crowd was a bit overwhelming at first, but it eventually cleared out and became a very comfortable place to relax. The staff were also incredibly kind. Since I had never tried a macaron before, I ordered a rose macaron to taste, and it was absolutely delicious. They also gave me a complimentary sample of their coffee, which was excellent.
