    This café has such a warm and cozy atmosphere. The design, the vinyl records, and all the little details make it feel very unique and relaxing. The coffee was great, and the service was even better. The girl working today was very friendly and welcoming you can really see that she enjoys her job. I felt very comfortable here. Highly recommend!

    I stopped by here two Sundays ago with my wife and our twins for our morning coffee. Every Sunday morning we try to hit up a new local coffee shop and on this morning we decided to go to Needle & Bean. Needle & Bean is located on Castle Shannon Blvd and has a clever name whenever you realize it's part record shop and part coffee shop. There was only a single other patron there whenever we arrived and he was on the way out, so we had the shop to ourselves for a bit. The shop itself is segmented into a seating area for the coffee shop patrons and the other half for the records. The inside of the shop is well lit with lots of natural light and helped by the light colored wood floors. Since I was just here for the coffee, I didn't really check out the record section of the shop and instead paid attention to the coffee and goodies. For my coffee on this morning I decided to go with a large hot americano while my wife went with a small iced americano. Then I also ordered my kids a chocolate chip cookie each and the family a brownie. Total cost was $12 which was awesome. My wife and I both really enjoyed our coffees here as the roast for the americano was super dark and rich. Since we both love darker coffees, we clearly made the right choice and it was easily one of the better coffees I have had in awhile. My kids seemed to enjoy the cookies and the brownie and so everyone was happy. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. My wife and I really enjoyed our coffees here, our kids their treats and the price was fair as well!

    What a beautiful space! The shop is bright, organized, and clean. The cafe counter greets you, as soon as you walk in the door. They serve both coffee and tea. There was also an assortment of baked goods near the register. I didn't get a picture of the menu, but I do remember reading that it was an extra $1.25 to add a flavor to any drink I opted for a winter chai tea. The latte prices seemed a little steep to me. The tea was nice! Perfect for a cold morning. There was ample seating available and quite the quaint selection of records to browse through. The bathroom is gender neutral and was clean and had soap & paper towels.

    Very clean, comfortable, welcoming, and chill shop. Had a lungo espresso and cinnamon roll. They were both excellent!

The menu lists several flavors of donuts of "raised"/stick donuts and "round" donuts. Raised donuts include the following flavors: Cream Sticks (marshmallow filling with chocolate topping), Jelly Sticks (raspberry-jelly filling with sugar coating), Cinnamon Sticks (cinnamon glaze), and Glazed. Round donuts include the following flavors: Glazed, Powdered Sugar, Chocolate, Peanut (with marshmallow cream), Cinnamon Sugar, Plain Old-fashioned, and Sprinkle (with marshmallow cream). I chose the Raspberry Jelly Stick, and my husband chose the Chocolate Cream Stick. The employee provided excellent service in greeting us, patiently waiting for us to decide our flavors, and processing our payment. I do recommend that the business add labels near the donuts, but the employee did explain the flavors to us. Each donut cost $1.90. Both of our donuts tasted very good. This business also had a refrigerator of bottled beverages, including milks, teas, Gatorades, coffees, and water.

I always order via the mobile app so I can run in, pick up my order, and continue on with my day (especially if I'm headed back to work after an early appointment). Big shout-out to the staff because my order has always been ready, and has always been perfect. They are on top of things here! The menu is the standard Dunkin' fare that we all know and love (at least I'm assuming you love it if you're visiting a Dunkin'). So donuts, breakfast sandwiches, and coffee. Lots of stuff to satisfy my sweet tooth, for sure, although I'm also a big fan of a good bagel breakfast sammie! Only bummer is that this location has no drive-thru, so no matter what you'll have to park to get your order. I do recommend the mobile app (especially if you're a regular, gotta get those perks!), but the Dunkin' store itself has lots of space so even when they're busy, I've never gotten the claustrophobic feelings that have come up when waiting in line at a jam-packed smaller store. All in all this is a solid Dunkin' and a good place to go for donuts and coffee. Here's to my future sweet-treats and pick-me-ups!

I'm rating it this way for a few reasons, but mainly it's the lack of attention to detail that irks me the most. Mostly high school aged kids that work here so maybe they just need to be taught more, so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt there. Their pickup area is a wreck. There's sections to sort the order names but they just throw them all on the counter with no order, so the sections are useless and the customers are left to literally touch every single coffee to find their name and check if it's theirs. Ew. I've ordered decaf twice from here and both times it was not decaf. And I've also ordered an iced and got a hot, which they fixed but it's the waste of time and materials that's a shame here. Another thing that I don't like about this and is maybe not this location's fault, but any smaller Starbucks kiosk... Their menu is condensed so you don't know all of the offerings or pricing. They only list the grande pricing and a handful of drinks. I would like to use the fact that it's a kiosk as an excuse, but it's honestly bigger than the one inside target and they have a bigger menu so idk. I probably wouldn't come here again, I'd rather go to the one inside Target then.
