    Drive thru Saturday Coffee
    Dodd D.

    So recently, I had an opportunity to check out the Human Bean at their new location on Richmond Road. The staff was fantastic at that location and advised me that the original local coffee shop was on Harrodsburg Road. So this week, when I was in the area, I decided to stop in at the Harrodsburg Road store. It is located across the road from the cycle shop and not too far from Lane Allen Road intersection. I have driven past the store for years. Lots of traffic in the area and so easy just to pass them by. I am glad I was advised to stop in this store. I ordered my standard light roast with heavy whipping cream DELICIOUS!!! The staff at the Harrodsburg Road establishment is just as friendly as the Richmond Road location. Kudos to management in hiring great staff and providing quality product. I will be back.

    Loved the vanilla latte for sure!!The muffin top had a delicious flavor but was slightly dry. The drive-thru line moved quickly. The business sits on a busier street. Once you turned in, you were forced to wait in line (unless a parking spot was open) but there aren't many.

    Drive thru only is a smart business idea to keep cars moving. Worth the stop as the people were welcoming and helpful and the drinks make it one of the best in Lexington! Got the matcha with strawberry cold foam and the banana bread breve for Lexington coffee week

    This has been my go-to coffee stop for the past couple of months as it is on my way to work. Their service is fast, friendly, and flexible; often sending out someone with mobile ordering to keep things moving when it gets busy. I appreciate this in the mornings when it can get a little hectic. I only wish the person who parks their car directly in front would realize they're blocking a potential emergency exit in the drive-thru. I bounce between their medium roast with almond milk and their red bull refreshers when i'm needing a little pick-me-up. Both are delicious, and reasonably priced. I only just started using their mobile app, so I cannot speak yet to their rewards, but I appreciate the online ordering. I attached the red bull refresher menu as it seemed to not be available through the app. Perhaps it's a local creation.

    I got a triple shot of espresso on ice with caramel and a splash of half-and-half!

    Had the human bean for the 1st Time in Colorado!! Such unique flavor !!! Plus the chocolate covered espresso beans is such a huge plus!!! Just as good here as it is there! I got a triple shot of espresso on ice with caramel and a splash of half-and-half! It was amazing !

    Trying to give Starbucks a break & try other coffee spots out. I've been here twice and both times there was no long lines like there are at Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts. Really appreciate the drive-thru and menu variety. Staff offered help and seem eager to serve. I tried a hazelnut latte with almond milk & the 2nd trip a caramel hazelnut...both hot and both were tasty. I really like the treat you get with each drink, nice touch. I'll definitely continue coming back and trying out their extensive menu.

    While visiting my cousin in Lexington we decided to grab coffee in The Human Bean drive-thru, and it was great! I opted for an Iced Mexi Mocha, and it was delicious! It was served cold, and perfectly sweet. Plus, I love that they give you a chocolate covered espresso bean with each drink! I'll definitely hit up this spot for coffee again! If you're in the area and looking for a quick and easy drive-thru spot, I think this is it!

    I really love this little drive-through coffee spot. All of the baristas I have interacted with have been so friendly and welcoming on every visit. This is the perfect place if you happen to live in the area or are passing by to just grab a quick drive through latte. All of the flavored lattes and other beverages I have purchased have been pretty yummy and the most memorable part is that you get a chocolate covered espresso bean with every purchase :-) Around the holidays they were offering a gift card special which I took advantage of because you received an additional beverage of your choice for free.

    I found myself driving past the Human Bean with a need for some coffee and decided to stop in. I was really hoping to walk in and grab a seat but, spoiler alert, this is drive thru only. Just a heads up if you are looking for a place to chill for a while. The coffee was good though and you get a chocolate covered espresso bean with your order. I'd never had one before and wasn't upset. It was a delicious little treat that came as a surprise.

    Truly just an amazing spot. Not sure where to start or even end but overall just so much to offer…read more Their coffee was all incredible, fantastic selection for people with all sorts of tastes. In addition to coffee, there was an incredible array of teas available as well both for drinking and purchase. The interior space was incredible, large and expansive while maintaining cozy and inviting vibes. Seating options were plentiful, great for studying, hanging out with friends, or even just quickly sitting down to enjoy a cup and snack. The shop area was also quite nice with so many coffee and tea options from all over available fresh as well as various trinkets and jsut fun goodies available for purchase, all at quite honestly some fair prices. Was great for perusing through while sipping on a fantastic cup. The staff were all incredibly friendly, but one area that needed some improvement was just how slow everything was. Not sure where the choke was but the line just refused to move despite not even being that long, and it kept doing this. This was not only at the coffee counter too, even at the store counter at first there was just nobody behind it for quite some time as a line formed and we all just looked around for a worker. And then finally one meandered on up, and while e they were kind and friendly, the service was just oh so slow which was quite frustrating. Besides the slow service though I will say it is a fantastic little spot. Unassuming on the outside but once you walk through the doors such an incredible space full of coffee, tea, and so much fun. Would def recommend (just not if in a rush) and will likely return!
