We didn't have many expectations for the coffee from this tiny little drive through, but we left wanting to go back time and time again. The barista let us try their drip coffee, which is strong for drip coffee and quite tasty. Hubby ordered an Americano that had him riding a wave of energy through the whole day. I love a latte that has a nice light brown color as opposed to a light cream color like most, and the one I got from the Bean Box was the perfect hue. Service was very friendly. This place is convenient and delicious! read more

i saw this place had good reviews but the coffee was so nasty and strong it literally tasted like alcohol. the ladies that work there are rude asf, they made me feel bad for not knowing the difference between coffee and a latte.... they even laughed at me and made me feel horrible for asking for cream in my coffee . i'm so sad i wasted $7 on this. i would go back but im good, don't want to feel stupid for the 3rd time. but honestly nastiest coffee i ever had read more

Just stopped here after the gym, and had the most delicious açaí bowl. It's a little coffee stand in the Baron's parking lot. The girls working there were lovely. The açaí wasn't too sweet, which I love. I'll definitely be back. read more

I stumbled upon this place with my partner and it was the best thing we ever did because the coffee was delicious! Would happily go here again just for their seasonal menu the next time I'm in SD. read more

Best cold brew and expresso! The Girls here are always so friendly. Best customer service and the cheese balls are amazing! read more

Love the mexican mocha! My favorite local spot for cafe! Friendly staff and tasty drinks!

Best place in the surrounding area. The baristas are always talkative and very nice. Be prepared to wait for the goodness you will get. I highly recommend the grains bowl which is not on the menu. It's basically grains with fruit on top. I love their white mocha and the coffee is high quality. Check it out! read more

Who would have known that my go-to coffee shop would be a drive up coffee shop! As there is no seating area, this review is based on the product, service, and value. The Bean Box is close to where I run lots of errands, so it is convenient to stop by after my gym class on weekends. I had been struggling with finding a coffee shop in the area, where I could get my iced coffee the way I like it. I have ordered my iced coffee there now several times. They have nonfat milk, as many places no longer have. They also have Splenda, my preferred sweetener. Finally, they have regular iced coffee, not simply cold brew. Last time I went, I also bought a green machine smoothie.... a healthy green smoothie that isn't too sweet, but is also not bitter. The menu has various coffee drinks, a few smoothies, açaí bowls, and several pastries. Service is friendly and fast. Prices are reasonable as compared to coffee shops in the area. read more

One of the best coffee stands in San Diego. I come from Washington where the coffee options are elite and this coffee stand is probably one of the only ones that is even comparable to ones in Washington. They also give dog treats haha read more

Wanted to stop by since it looked like a cute and quick, tiny spot in the Baron's Market parking lot. *Beware they do not have the prices up on their menus. The matcha latte was okay, definitely was a latte mix so it was very sweet with a vanilla flavor, and not the ceremonial kind the matcha girlies are looking for. We also got the iced chai with an extra shot and it was so rich and dark! Service was great, two very nice ladies. Overall it was just a quick stop. read more

Coffee is great! Quickly made and the staff is so kind. Breakfast burrito was great as well, really liked the salsa.

The service was nice but they chose who to serve first and not serving both sides of the drive through equally. So you could get stuck on the side they are choosing not to serve for a while. The menu does not have the breads , muffin etc options. The coffee... way too hot !! I should be able to at least hold it with the sleeve and my shirt helping. I ordered a vanilla oat latte with cinnamon..no flavor at all. So yay if you love unequal service and coffee with no flavor . Go here . read more

Great small coffee spot. Straight to the point and fantastic service. Just pull up and order. read more

I had a very disappointing experience at The Bean Box on April 14, 2025. I arrived approximately 30 minutes before their posted closing time and waited at the counter for nearly 15 minutes with no acknowledgment. I called out several times, and the employee--who was clearly in the back--ignored me entirely. When she finally came to the front, she told me, in a rude and dismissive tone, that they were already closed and had cleaned up. This was well before closing time. The lack of professionalism and basic courtesy was extremely frustrating.I sincerely hope management addresses this unacceptable behavior. read more

Found this little coffee place and I'm so glad that we did! I had the Mexican mocha hot, my daughters had the matcha cold and white mocha blended. All the drinks were great and service was friendly. Highly recommend! read more

Coffee was really good and so as the service. Bunch of options for breakfast and drinks!

Tried it out for the first time the other day. Very delicious Iced Dirty Chai with oatmilk. They had no prices on the menu, but I assumed it'd be somewhat reasonable. Once it came to paying my one drink was almost 9 dollars. Yes, it was a very good cup of coffee but if prices were posted I wouldn't have been as shocked or maybe would've looked elsewhere. Probably won't be coming back. read more

EDIT: Thanks for the acknowledgment and response, Katryne! I appreciate and do not take for granted when a business listens to its customers and is committed to providing the best experience possible. ---- I paid $5 for a medium oat milk cappuccino that was thoroughly disappointing. On the first sip, I knew it was more latte than cappuccino: the amount of foam was wrong. Worse, after I continued drinking, I noticed that the drink left a chalky aftertaste. I opened the lid and lo and behold, there are white bits floating around in the drink. I have no idea what dairy alternative they used but it certainly isn't oat milk. read more

This is a great little coffee stand. Even when there's a long line they serve us quickly. I've noticed that consistently and it's appreciated. The coffee is always good. We get my daughter a burrito there often before school, and she loves them. The young women who work there are friendly and if you've been going there for years like we have they remember what you like to order. I've never been to a better coffee shop. read more

Just ordered an iced coffee and veggie burrito. Enjoying them right now- both are great! I hate buying food from Starbucks because everything they serve tastes like cardboard to me. This burrito is a perfect example of something actually cooked based on flavor and taste, not just a list of ingredients that look good on a menu, which is how I feel the food is at 90% of restaurants these days. It's cheesy and garlicky and has properly cooked vegetables and potatoes. It's not like any veggie burrito I've had before but it's very delicious! Will definitely come back the next time I'm in the area. read more

respectfully, it was the worst cup of coffee I've ever had in my entire entire life. I quite literally had to dump it out after and go somewhere else. The service is fine but the coffee was so bad please do not go here. there was only one girl in there and she did not seem very happy to make my coffee read more

If I could leave 0 stars I would $38 for a burrito and 2 coffees not sure if it's because they saw the out of state plates but that price was outrages... the coffee also tasted like it was made out of a well (: don't recommend it the name alone is a red flag BEAN BOX?? read more

Hooray for the Bean Box! Home of the magic beans.... I am telling you, the young lady who was working here, when I stopped in the other day, sure knows how to make a terrific Americano. The Americano was very smooth and rich and robust with flavor. It also provide a very good pick me up and had very good strength. Service was great and friendly. The Bean Box also makes a whole variety of coffees and also hot chocolate. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/the-bean-box-san-diego?select=rS_ltp11rDvFetJiJBTWfg#PZrHj-VR1cIJtldeGbBzUg) I was amazed of all the wonderful drinks this little walk up or drive thru box can muster.

Quick drive up and I was super impressed with their food options. I didn't have a chance to try this time but will make for a fun reason to visit again read more

The Bean Box - Tuxedo Mocha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Diego, California

The CUTEST little coffee drive thru. My go to on saturday mornings. I've had their tuxedo lattes and pastries, so good.

If I could leave zero stars I would. I asked for a coffee with half and half blended and told her I could not have sugar. She then made me a drink made of full sugar. When I asked her to make what I asked for she got nasty with me. Totally unacceptable. I will NEVER return and will advise everyone I know to do the same. I threw my (very expensive) drink in the trash and walked back to my car as she continue to yell at me. Not only unprofessional- extremely aggressive and threatening. read more

I'm obsessed with their Mexican Mocha! I made the same order at another local (and very popular) coffee shop (that shall not be named), and theirs did not come close to The Bean Box. This spot is such a gem. I'll be coming back often. read more

There really should be more of these little boxes around. For those of us that don't have time to wait in a line at (ahem) other places. This is so perfect! I drove up, ordered my Mexican mocha, and it was ready in less than two minutes. The drink was delicious. I could really taste the Mexican chocolate in it. I was so sad when it was all gone. My only problem? It was $4.10 for a medium... I can't spend that on coffee every day. But, like a smoker needs their nicotine fix, or an alcoholic needs that little swig, I need mine and sometimes Nescafé just doesn't cut it. Hello. My name is Maryella and I'm a caffeine addict. read more
