It was bold rich and delicious. Their baked goods looked amazing but I'll have to try those on the next visit which will be soon. The staff were very polite, very informative and extremely helpful. Inside was a great chill vibe with relaxing music playing in the background and it's a fantastic place to get coffee, hang out or do some work. There are several coffee spots in the Riverside/Avondale area and Bold Bean is one of the best. If you're a coffee fan, Bold Bean is a must if you're in the Riverside area.

BOLD BEAN '26 (Riverside) - Afterthoughts…read more.. Not my first visit, and certainly not my last! This very hippy, laid-back spot is one I frequented often in my pre-COVID downtown workdays, and I'm happy to find myself returning more regularly in 2026--especially since their partnership with Coffee (JAVA) Culture, which supports local coffee shops around town and beyond. Bold Bean has always been a well-kept, spotless, and spacious café--perfect for meet-ups, studying, or simply enjoying your caffeine fix while admiring local art displayed throughout the shop. Service was neat, friendly, and refreshingly quick. Order: Large take-away Honey Latte with oat milk + extra shot (3 total). The taste was just as I remembered: a clean first sip with zero burnt aftertaste. Well done. (Next time I'll ask for extra honey--lesson learned from my BFF.) Noticed they now have a dedicated pick-up order area, which I'll definitely be trying very soon. A must-try and repeat spot. .5 out of 5 (4.5 of 5)

We decided to give it a try and support some local coffee! We tried the pumpkin and southern pecan. He threw in a couple single serve flavors, and we got in the car. When we got in the car, the smell overtook you, and made you want a cup of joe instantly! I'm so excited to try this coffee! If it wasn't so late, I would try it instantly, but I need to wake up in the morning, early! He had great customer service. He said the door is always locked, even when it's open. And as you come up, he opens it. So if it looks closed, but hours are still open, he is there, just knock or ring the bell. Customer service was great. He said they have been doing it since late 1950's! He said, "I'm sure I will be seeing you again! " Yes, sir. You are more then likely right. With the aroma of that coffee that has overtaken the car!

During my early visit (6:40 AM), the atmosphere was calm, peaceful, and quietly welcoming -- a perfect space to gather your thoughts or ease into the morning. The staff was kind and attentive, adding to the serene vibe. Selection: Bonfire Latte (Hot, 12oz, Oat Milk) - If childhood camping trips were a drink, this would be it. A delicate blend of mocha with a gentle hint of marshmallow, perfectly elevated by creamy oat milk. My first choice here, and already looking forward to trying more from their extensive menu! Extra Perks: Study and private rooms Individual tables featuring motivational quotes Bar seating facing a large glass wall for relaxed street views I came in with low expectations and left spiritually lifted, energized, and ready for whatever the day brings. .5 of 5 (4.5 of 5) - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! 10-15-2025

Maxwell House is ubiquitous, and long thriving! It is an American brand of coffee manufactured by…read moreKraft Heinz in North America. I grew up on Maxwell House and now consider it a gateway coffee to richer coffees with more depth and flavor. Maxwell House was in nearly every home and office when I first started drinking coffee! Fun Maxwell House trivia, do you remember the Wicked Witch of the West in the 1939 movie, "The Wizard of Oz?" The actress who played the Wicked Witch of the West, Margaret Hamilton, played "Cora," a general store owner who proudly announced that Maxwell House was the only brand she sold. This was in a national television commercial series in the 1970s. I do love the Maxwell House motto: "Good to the last drop!" And, yeah, it's good...just good...I love Starbucks much much more than Maxwell House.

The two baristas on shift were kind, attentive, and genuinely helpful in walking us through their seasonal menu. Selection: Banana Gingerbread Latte (hot, with oat milk) -- A delicate yet flavorful choice, carrying its banana and gingerbread notes beautifully from the first sip to the very last. Truly enjoyed this drink. Foxtail continues to be a wonderful place to relax with friends, settle into a quiet moment with a book, or get some studying and meetings done. With their full menu of drinks and bites, there's truly something for everyone. A MUST TRY. of 5 (4 of 5)
