    I love SunBean! It's a smaller coffee shop but the vibes are so inviting! As soon as you walk in you are welcomed and everyone seems so nice and happy to be there. The menu isn't super big but they have monthly specials as well as a ton of syrup options so you can essentially customize your drink however you want. They also have pastries. I ordered one of the March Monthly specials - Tiramisu Brew and it was really good. My mom got a medium roast coffee and she said that was good as well. It's in a pretty quiet neighborhood. We can always find a spot on the street out front which is convenient.

    This place is awesome!! I was a little thrown off by the reviews saying that the prices were too high. They must be from the suburbs, because for twin cities coffee shop prices - at least in my experience - these prices are, if anything, on the lower end of the spectrum. $3 drip coffee? Oh, ya baby. Got a yummy pastry with an oat milk latte and sat on the back patio. The whole place was cute and I love that they have a featured artist. Barista was cool. Had fun. Recommend.

    I think SunBean Coffee might just be my new favorite, local coffee shop! Their drinks are fantastic and staff are warm and welcoming. Last time I was here, I tried their drink of the month: Iced Cereal Milk Latte. It was delicious and nostalgic, too, with the lucky charms marshmallows on top. My wife got the drink that put them on the map--salted caramel bourbon cold brew. She loved it. On top of the great drinks and service, the homemade poptarts (sourced from another business, I believe) were top notch.

    I kind of love this place a lot. It's an utterly charming little urban coffee shop with great drinks and food. Full disclosure: my first visit happened because of a free drink offered to Yelp Elites, but I keep coming back because the idea of stopping in for a coffee and a snack keeps winning me over. I've gotten their mochas and I've been getting their monthly drink specials which are delicious every time. They also have these unique pastries which I think they call "Gourmet Pop Tarts" that are awesome. What I've specifically been doing is stopping here at lunchtime for a coffee, grabbing one of those pastries to eat later, and having it on my desk where my officemates invariably admire it and are jealous of me for having it. You should come here if you want that experience. Beyond that, this is a totally pleasant place to linger, with its cute decor, a bit of patio seating, and service that is as neighborly and upbeat as anyone could want. A couple more notes about their offerings... I like hot coffee drinks and it seems like they are excited about what they do with cold ones, but I'm not an expert in that, but I bet the cold coffee drinks they make are awesome. Also I had a delicious breakfast burrito last time, very plump and filling.

    What a cozy place! They even have " sad light " that will help you with seasonal affective disorder. Helping you be happier! I had Fred's fave. Oatmilk latte with cinnamon. I love it. I don't even care for oat milk more of a soymilk gal. It has very balance flavors. Perfect amount of slight sweetness. This is now also my fave. (Thanks Sunbean) The staffs are friendly and very welcoming and they told me some fun facts: Breakfast sandwiches made by next door bar - Bull's Horn! (Another great place to visit) Fresh never frozenI had the mangorita poptart while I was there. It has FRESH mango inside. Soooo good. Crispy pie not too sweet which is good. The pop tarts and savory hand pies are made by Emily at Fruit and Grain! She is also at some farmer's markets but doesn't have a brick and mortar store.

    Another hidden gem. I visited here for a Yelp event and now have added them to my list. Love the vibes just walking in with music playing in the background, plants everywhere, and just sunlight beaming throughout the cafe. They have outdoor seating outside and there's also street parking out front. I ordered the special coffee and one of their everything bagel pastries and I loved both!

    Cozy little place with street parking out front. They have tons of fun toppings and syrups to make your own concoction. I asked for marshmallow fluff and sea salt on my vanilla Oatmilk latte and the barista worked with it and made me this incredible marshmallow sea salt cold foam. It's fun to go to a place where you can be creative :)

    Right away I walked in and loved the ambiance. The artwork was beautiful. Quiet space to do some work or grab coffee and food. I got the white chocolate pumpkin mocha. I'm not a huge fan of pumpkin flavor but this was so good! I don't remember the cashiers name but she was friendly and helpful as I decided on what drink to get.

    I stopped in this morning for a breakfast sandwich. There were a few people in front of me, but it felt like it was my turn to order in no time! I asked the barista what kinds of sandwiches they had? Only one; turkey sausage, egg and cheese. Skeptically I asked: how is turkey sausage?! She said she was skeptical at first too but really likes it. Trusting her judgement, I ordered it. She didn't steer me wrong, It was in fact delicious! I love how bright & welcoming the digs are. Definitely somewhere I can see myself having lunch w a friend. Thanks SunBean for the delicious breakfast...that was easy to eat on my commute and wasn't even a little messy. Thanks for the friendly and fast service! Looking forward to breakfasting here again soon.

    Sunbean coffee is a beautiful, bright and cheery coffee shop in South Minneapolis. I just love the vibe there and the young lady behind the counter was excellent. I ordered the Lovers Latte -a coffee with passionfruit flavoring. it was really good. I also tried the breakfast burrito, which was made with chorizo and the homemade mango pop tart, which I enjoyed. Definitely would recommend!

    #SupportSmallbusiness this coffee shop is so cute i love the vibe and the staff. I was able to get a coffee , a local pastry and work at the same time. Such a welcoming and warm place for this rainy day! I will back again.

    This new local spot is awesome! Fred, the owner, was working behind the counter when I came in and was so pleasant and fun to chat with! I love seeing the mind behind the business working and serving customers and getting to know him as well! The honey oatmilk latte was delicious! I had them make it the "OG" way, and it didn't disappoint strong coffee flavor, sweet without being too sweet. Perfect on a sunny summer day! I also decided to grab some pastries to try as well! I got the peaches and cream and passion fruit blueberry poptarts and they were delicious as well! I don't think they're made in house but still highly recommend! The overall feel of this place was bright, welcoming and chill at the same time. I was surprised how bright it was when I walked in but it gave me an overwhelming sense of fun and friendliness when I was inside. If you're looking to check out a small, new local coffee shop, start here and support the owners dream becoming a reality!

    I wanted to love this spot, but it ended up being a bit of a miss for me, though not without some…read morebright spots. The coffee itself was excellent. The miso cortado was delicious and really stood out, and they have a great variety of specialty drinks. The service was also extremely kind and welcoming, which I genuinely appreciated. That said, the space didn't quite live up to the hype. The location felt a little unfinished. Minimal decor, unfinished flooring, and no truly cozy seating made it feel less like a place you'd want to settle into for a while. While they encourage people to linger and don't offer Wi-Fi (which I respect), the ambiance doesn't quite support that intention. It felt more like a quick in-and-out stop, even though that doesn't seem to be their goal. The atmosphere was chill, with vinyl records playing in the background, which was a nice touch. I just wish the overall design and seating matched that relaxed, stay-awhile vibe. Great coffee and kind staff, but the space itself didn't fully align with the experience I was hoping for.

    So glad this place is on Yelp now so I can rave about it!…read more I came in the day after it opened and was super impressed that everything was already running so smoothly. They have a lot of super intriguing drinks that I can't wait to get back and try, but I had to have the black coffee for my first stop. They only do pour overs and mine was great. And so were the beans I took home. It's really nice to see a coffee shop that cares about their beans more than syrupy drinks. The shop itself is small but has some nice seating options. One thing to note is that they don't have WiFi so this place isn't really meant for the work from home crowd. I can't wait to get back here
