If you haven't checked out the Bean Espresso Bar yet located in Wilton Manors Florida (2151 Wilton Drive), it's definitely worth a visit.
The vibe here is noticeably more relaxed than other nearby spots. The music is kept at a low volume--quiet enough that, with noise-canceling earbuds, you can comfortably take a phone call or even hop on a Zoom meeting. The interior has a clean mid-century modern feel, with stylish lighting, marble tile, and coordinated furniture that all flow together beautifully--even into the unisex restroom.
Seating is one of the highlights. There are plenty of options depending on your mood: outdoor seating in the sun or shade, or a cool indoor space kept at around 71 degrees. Inside, you'll find everything from high stools and traditional chairs with back support to a movable backless stool, plush armchairs, cushioned benches, and even a couple of cozy loveseats if you want to sit close to someone. I personally found the bench seating especially comfortable.
The atmosphere is enhanced by the aroma of espresso beans being freshly ground for each drink, along with the scent of baked goods made in-house by owner Nadia. It all comes together to create a calm, inviting space that works great for remote workers wanting a more chill space to work from. The music leans toward contemporary pop, which is a nice change from the louder EDM played at some nearby cafés. Having multiple options to match your mood is a nice addition to the drive.
The bathroom was clean, thoughtfully designed, and includes support rails near the toilet--great for anyone who may need a little extra assistance. My only suggestion would be to adjust the motion-sensor lighting so it doesn't turn off quite so quickly.
There's also a self-serve station with sugar, Splenda, and other sweeteners, plus a water dispenser with refreshing and chilled lemon-infused water--perfect after finishing a bold cappuccino (served in a classic white porcelain cup featuring the La Rocca Italian coffee brand).
WiFi is another big plus. Download speeds are impressively fast, and upload speeds are more than adequate for video calls without lag or interruptions.
Overall, two thumbs up if you're looking for a chill, comfortable place to work, have an intimate conversation with a friend, or just relax with a great cup of coffee. The Bean Espresso read more
