You've heard the expression "small, but mighty," right? This very aptly describes this very…read morenarrow, very small coffee shop over in Severna Park! It might look tiny, but don't misjudge the coffee and other drinks they are making here! I actually went back after my first order to try another beverage, it was that good. I started with a Fall-flavored 'refresher,' though I can't honestly remember the name. But, it was amazing! I was down the strip a few shops for an event, so I popped back to The Big Bean before they closed for their "Not Ready for Winter" coffee concoction. Another winner! I also picked up a couple of biscotti for later. When we did finally get around to trying them, they were incredible! Very hard and crunchy as a biscotti should be, and perfect for soaking up some coffee for dunking. And the flavors are perfect. Other people were ordering their breakfast sandwiches, which honestly looked and smelled incredible... I just didn't have room for food that day. Or, I would have totally ordered one just based off of others' orders alone! The real five-star facet here, though, was the staff. They were very friendly and helpful, despite how busy they were. They still found time for friendly and cheerful banter while ringing everyone up. I don't think team members get enough credit when they go above and beyond, but please take the time to tip or at least acknowledge the fantastic folks here! Overall, it's a wonderful coffee shop that I wish were closer to home! And... had more parking! The number and orientation of spots here isn't ideal, but it's worth an extra walk (huge lot across the street) for the drinks, snacks, and people at The Big Bean. Outstanding overall experience!

The food is better than the coffee, IMO - the Tito Burrito is so yummy! They also introduced me to Yellow Bird sauces, which they sell and offer for use on your food - they are the best hot sauce I've ever had! Honestly, they're a very good place to stop in for breakfast. Just make sure if you order on a weekend morning that you give them LOTS of time to make your coffee if you want something fancy - order ahead. Otherwise, if you're just getting food, it'll be ready within a few minutes, you don't have to order ahead. I am taking away a star and giving them 4/5 because the tables can be messy, the room echoes really loudly so it's hard to talk to someone, and the prices are out of this world for their coffee and tea. The food carries this place to a fairly high spot in my rankings of local restaurants, but there are definitely a few issues that bug me about this place.

And to top it off, the staff is lovely. Come on in and support this small business. They are worth every penny.

It was $18 and change, so $20 with a small tip. Work loved the donuts. I tried the cherry filled and it was good. Apple fritter was huge and light, but needs a lot more apple, IMHO. My roommate raved about the light and perfect dough of her cinnamon roll. I also gave her a big hunk of my fritter. Yum. My goal is to work my way through every donut and then convince them to make me a bear claw! Why no decent bear claws in Maryland? I gotta go back to pink box shops in California for them? Lol. Writing this the next morning. I'm enjoying day old apple fritter with a twist. Still very good the next day!!

Lots of seating options. This place was busy, but we didn't have to wait too long. They have some drink options but we didn't order any this time. You can also do pick up orders.
