It was a huge surprise to me that there was "The Human Bean" here in the OC. I had it several times in Eugene-Oregon. Coffee -fantastic! My go to is : black coffee w/ whipped cream. But I have tried others! My husband loves a shaken espresso (several flavors) with oat milk. (Which is odd because he's a black coffee only-hooked him with oat milk I guess ) Service is perfection! Friendly, read more

Finally! One in California! Still far from the SGV, but was headed to the OC and saw the sign off the freeway. Hit this place up on the way back. I've always frequented the one in bullhead city, AZ and always wondered if they had one near LA county. Well, here's the closest one! My go to is the frozen hot chocolate! I always get that and another new drink. Love the little chocolate covered bean on top of every drink! This location is in a gas station. Only two chairs inside. Service is great. read more

Cute, clean, good service. Prices hard to see on menu board (they're not on the small menus). The drink comes with a chocolate covered espresso bean. Barely any parking, but attached to gas station, so you could probably be off to the side if needed. There is also a drive thru. The drink itself was just fine. I tried the icy peppermint mexi (mocha). read more

My New Favorite Local Spot! Only minutes from my house, this hidden gem tucked away in a gas station parking lot is a total find! The convenient drive-through makes it super easy to swing by, and the friendliest service ever keeps me coming back. Every drink even comes topped with a delicious chocolate covered espresso bean, such a sweet touch! We tried the Java Chip and Chai Ice Blend, and both were absolutely amazing!! smooth, flavorful, and perfectly made. Easily a 10 out of 10! What I love most is the variety!!! food, coffee, teas, energy drinks, desserts. so many things on the menu I still want to try. They're open from 6 AM to 6 PM, which is perfect for both my morning coffee runs and afternoon pick me ups. Be sure to download the human bean app in the App Store to scan and get points for your order. That way you can accumulate your points and get rewards!! With it being so close to home, I already know this is going to become my daily treat spot. Can't wait to go back and find more favorites! read more

I wish I could give 7 stars Better than Starbucks, better than Dutch Bros, better than Better Buzz - they deserve to have more locations than any chain This was the best experience ever They have a drive thru option which is convenient I've been wanting to come to The Human Bean for months and finally went I don't even know where to start Their menu is sooo wondrous so much to choose from and I love variety Their standard menu on its own is solid But their seasonal a were farrrr to tempting to ignore yum!!! They have so much more variety in snackies and meals The spinach kale croissant was bombbb The standout for me though was the service The NICEST people you will ever meet here It wasn't just one - everyone was so patient, kind, friendly, and the most pleasant people I've ever come across in my life I especially appreciated the recommendations they made upon my asking Truly cannot express how amazing the service here was in words!!

The Human Bean - Java Chip Smoothie - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Garden Grove, California

Service was good but matcha was not:( I love matcha but to me this one was just not it. Very grassy, gritty, and just not a good flavor profile or drinking experience overall. This spot isn't know for their matcha so I can't be too upset, but the quality is just not there unfortunately. read more

Ohhh Myyy Gawd! Came here for the first time and got a muddy with 2 shots only since I like my drinks a little sweeter and this is one of the best drinks I have ever had! It was the perfect amount of sweetness and it was creamy as well. The staff is also very friendly and patient. They treat you like a human bean lol. I would highly recommend this spot! Also, the little chocolate covered espresso bean was a cool little touch read more

This was my first time trying The Human Bean in Garden Grove. I had heard about other locations but wanted to check out this new local spot. They're located right by a gas station and freeway entrance, and also have a drive-thru! Michelle and Brooke were incredibly friendly and very knowledgeable about the menu. They helped us find the perfect drinks to match our cravings. Our drinks were made super fast, and when we ordered food, it came out quickly and hot. The prices are great, and there are plenty of options to choose from. I loved how customizable everything was with so many syrup flavors available. I highly recommend trying the Banana Matcha and the spinach, kale & cheese croissant. Definitely a new favorite spot! read more

So Happy for this Location in Garden Grove! As we entered we were so happily greeted! Super friendly and thank you to my baristas. I ordered pecan cold brew with pumpkin foam iced with dash of Cinnamon fall inspired and so good not too sweet at all, Strong cold brew on the bottom with slightly sweetened pumpkin foam on top. Excellent suggestion for the foam topping! Also ordered pumpkin snowy blended , That is the best fall drink on my list now, perfect with pumpkin foam and dash of cinnamon topping! Super friendly owner that helped us with suggestions and so welcoming. If you've never had The Human Bean Run , they add a special touch to every beverage which is a chocolate covered expresso bean!!! Love the touch and brings me back for more each time!! Stop by this location you'll love the staff! read more

I got my husband into this coffee shop as well. He's usually really particular about his coffee but he really likes the Java Chip blended drink. He would crave it on weekends, so that's what we've been getting for the past month. Without a doubt, best, friendly service around. Ditch the starbucks stuff down the street, try some real coffee. read more

Stumbled upon this gem and boy am I glad I wanted a smoothie and the girls were super patient with me and gave me some recommendations I ended up with the blueberry pomegranate it was the best smoothie I have ever had the flavor was superb! Highly recommend also a good price at $6.25 read more

Folks, this is not gas station coffee. It's better than Starbucks. Although, let's be honest that's a low bar. This is actually good coffee. Reminds me of Dutch Brothers. The Human Bean started in Oregon about 20 yrs ago and many years later has expanded, obviously, now to GG! There are so many options! Also, vegan friendly! Everything can be made with milk alternative. Can customize your drink with different syrups and sweeteners. And you can earn points with their app. Not a coffee person? The tea is good to. There were whole tea leaves in my Jasmine green tea! Not just tea dust. Don't want to wait in long line at Starbucks?? Sunday afternoon- zero wait in line. Actually the last two times I've been, there was no wait in the drive through line which makes it easy when you have a toddler in the car. Also they sell treats for littles with a spill resistant lid and reusable cup. And if your fur baby is with you, they will give you a free pup cup or dog bone. Adorable! Good, friendly and attentive service- asked me to check to see if the sweetness level was ok. It was perfect! read more

The iced white snowy is amazing! Best drinks hands down! I love coming here and to the lake forest location!

My new go-to spot for plain iced lattes. They actually have different sizes like 20oz instead of one universal 12oz baby size like other spots. Prices are much better than others in the area, an actual fair price even with alternative milk. Thanks to Human Bean I don't feel like I'm being robbed when I just need a regular iced latte! Drive thru is a major plus too. Staff is always pleasant. App for rewards, stoked! read more

I loved their Banana Matcha!! You will love it if you like matcha. Clean and great customer service!!!! read more

We first tried The Human Bean in Lake Havasu & it was good! Was surprised to see they opened a location super close to home. The service was great, was greeted upon walking in. The guy helping us at the counter was awesome & helpful. I got the Caramel Hazelnut Oat Shaken Espresso w/ vanilla cold foam & the hubby got Caramel Granita -- both good. What I like about this place is that their coffee isn't sweet & you can def. taste the coffee rather than a cup of sugar. Will definitely be coming back read more

It's a drive thru so that makes getting my drinks easier! Got a cold foam and it came with a dinosaur egg looking coffee bean on top, pretty delicious! Husband got their mellow fruity drink. The sausage waffle sandwich was crazy delicious! Highly recommend stopping in! read more

Found out about this spot when we were out in Bullhead Arizona, fell in love with it! So glad there is one close to home now. The coffee here is so good! If you're looking for a sweet treat I'd suggest the human muddy bean, if you prefer stronger coffee add an extra shot! My fiancé really enjoys their energy drinks, his go to is the smashmelon with lemonade! Drive thru service was great and quick! Just what we like for quick coffee runs! read more

This review is a bit overdue, but my experience at The Human Bean a few months (July, wow time really go by fast) back was great. I had the large Mexi and it was soooo good. It was my first time going and the staff's warmth and the quality of the service really struck me. read more

Great Drinks & Excellent Service! Stopped by The Human Bean in Garden Grove and had a fantastic experience. By December, their customer service was excellent -- super friendly, fast, and welcoming. You can really tell the staff cares about the customer experience. I ordered their cold brew with pumpkin cold foam, and it did not disappoint. Smooth, flavorful, and topped with their signature chocolate-covered espresso bean -- such a nice touch! Highly recommend this location if you're in the area. Great drinks, great people, and a cozy vibe. I'll definitely be back! read more

We drove to the closest one, which was 20 mins away from home. I ordered the green tea smoothie and pumpkin spice latte. My order was fast! The worker was polite and welcoming!

Great lattes. You can actually taste the espresso. Super friendly and fast service. I didn't have to repeat myself in the drive thru. And you get a chocolate covered espresso bean with your order. Way better than the overhyped/over-sweetened Dutch Brothers that are popping up everywhere. Minus one star for inconvenient location. read more

The crew in the staff are absolutely amazing the espresso clean and smooth my question is is how come sometimes my two shots cost me $2.75 and sometimes they charge me $3.50. It's the same drink so why the price difference can never get a straight answer, so I'm trying here. read more
