There's a THB back home in California but I've never visited until I came to Kentucky and I'm happy I finally got to try it. They have a big menu with customizable drinks, my favorite so far has been the Java chip smoothie with oat milk. It's really creamy and not overly sweet and almost has a chocolate dipped strawberry flavor to it but it's subtle, it's just different than other Java chips drinks I've tried before. This one is much tastier. Service is great, everyone was so friendly, informative and quick! Of course I can't not mention the espresso bean you get with your drink that's always a cool treat. As it was our first time they were kind enough to give us a few more. Highly recommend this shop! read more

Ordered a large light roast. Coffee was COLD ! Had to just pour it out at next stop. $4 down the drain . Be along time before u come back. Richmond road location read more

I love the light roast coffee here, and the people are very friendly, which makes the morning start on a good note.

My coffee is always consistently amazingly wonderful! The staff are always (and I do mean ALWAYS) very friendly, professional, and thrive to make my order correct. There was a time when my order wasn't correct, I didn't taste the coffee before leaving as it was very hot. Because of time restraint, I had to come back a couple hours later to complain. They listened to the problem, corrected it, apologized, and went above and beyond to make up for their mistake. Don't be fooled by the small little building. What they lack in showmanship, they make up for in love for the people purchasing their coffee. read more

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. read more

The Human Bean - Drive thru Saturday Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Lexington, Kentucky

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. read more

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 read more

The Human Bean - Coffee and tea specialty drinks - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Lexington, Kentucky

I stinkin LOVE this place. BEST coffee, smooth and flavorful. BEST options and love the variety of sugar free options and nondairy options. Friendliest service and kindest people! 100/10 recommendations read more

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. read more

I like this place a lot cause they have a much wider variety of drinks than other coffee shops. Usually get either a Sugar Free Chai Tea Latte or a Matte since can't get those at other coffee shops. Have had their basic Steve Smith Tea, and both light and dark coffee blends. Haven't tried their big selection of smoothies yet, but when summer comes I probably will. Drink also comes with chocolate covered bean on top of cup, always like that. Only complaint is no indoor dining area. Can't sit inside with wifi on a laptop or read like other coffee shops. There is 1 table outside, but it really is just a drive thru place. Awesome drink selection! read more

Fun coffee spot, a chocolate espresso bean is included with your drinks! My sister and I ordered the lavender lattes and they were great! The staff were cheerful. Recommended! read more

The Human Bean has a Very friendly staff. Seriously, kudos to whoever is hiring at this location. They have a nice variety of drinks that are super tasty and a nice addition to the coffee scene in Lexington. I ordered a Holiday drink, Peppermint Mocha which they offer their "seasonal" drinks year round. What I like a lot about Human Bean is I can get in and out in 2 minutes. Their breakfast sandwiches and cookies are good as well. If you are really wanting a treat though, add on one of their biscotti cookies. read more

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 ! read more

The Human Bean - I got a triple shot of espresso on ice with caramel and a splash of half-and-half! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Lexington, Kentucky

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. read more

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! read more

Coffee is AMAZING! If we had a human bean in Florida I would never go to Starbucks again! read more

Nice drive thru to pick up coffee and maybe a bagel or sandwich. The coffee is very good. Staff is usually amazing. Very convenient on Harrodsburg Rd at Lane Allen - going towards town. read more

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. read more

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. read more

This is a drive through coffee shop so the environment is not relevant. The service is okay. The staff is younger and at times say inappropriate things in front of you but it's pretty easy to look past. The coffee itself is pretty good and is served with one of my favorites a chocolate covered coffee bean. I don't particularly love their hot coffees but they're not bad. My go to here is the Java Chip and it's very consistent and predictable. Recommend giving this place a try. read more

The Human Bean is brand new and this was my first visit. That said, I do think I'll be back! I stopped by on a whim after noticing at long last that it was open! The drive thru lane is nice and long, which may sound like a weird thing to mention, but anyone who has been in the crazy drive thru lane at the Broadway Starbucks will understand! I ordered a small caramel cold brew (they don't have iced coffee that isn't cold brew), and it was delightful! The coffee was smooth and the caramel syrup wasn't overly sweet. Their menu has a nice variety, with all kinds of hot coffee and espresso drinks as you'd expect, frozen coffee drinks, smoothies, and even a dedicated kids menu! I'm excited to try their other offerings! read more

The Human Bean - 12oz. Caramel cold brew - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Lexington, Kentucky

This place is unbelievable. I've been getting coffee here ever since it first opened and I always get the same exact drink every time. My order has went from being consistently $5.83 to now being a different price every time which today topped out at $7.89?! And it's all high school or maybe college kids working there, so when I ask them about the charge they don't know how to handle it so they just brush it off. Coffee is expensive as it is, you can go to Starbucks or Panera or Dunkin and get the same stuff for a reasonable price. read more

Very kind and great coffee. Every time I have ordered coffee from The Human Bean I have always had a great experience.

Great company. The people are always friendly and coffee is always great. I love when they have the holiday drinks because the flavors match exactly what they say. read more

I decided to check this place out for coffee week and I highly recommend it for anyone in the area. The banana-bread coffee week special was a hit back at the office! The staff and management are also very friendly and accommodating. read more

This place is perfectly built for these crazy times. Super convenient drive through with a high quality, creative menu. You can pay through an app which makes everything contactless (another perk). Also the cherry on top is you get a delicious espresso bean with every drink. What more can you ask for? read more

I've stopped by this little spot a few times. Their coffee drinks are delicious. They have fresh baked snacks as well that pair great with their drinks. Excellent stop in for a treat! read more

Been coming here for a few months and always been happy with the beverages and service. Wanna take a moment to brag on them for how QUICKLY they handled a huge rush today. Had a gentleman out walking to the cars to expedite the order process and I'm telling you I've never seen any drive thru anywhere operate this quickly with this volume. Many Starbucks locations are closed, folks. I definitely recommend coming by and giving the Human Bean a chance. And keep coming even after Starbucks return. Good stuff! Thanks for the great service and coffee! read more

Doesn't get any better! Mexi-Mocha with a perfect hint of Cinnamon! Definitely worth a visit while in Lexington! read more

Defiantly a place to go for a really good coffee or fruit smoothie. Very convenient, on the right side when traveling into town on Harrodsburg road. If you are in a hurry, the drive thru setup is perfect to keep traffic flowing! Unlike other coffee places, their coffee is smooth and delightful. Not bitter or burnt tasting. The strawberry banana smoothie is a "game changer". Highly recommend this place! read more

Great place on Harrodsburg Rd to grab a coffee. I've been twice now and I liked the regular brewed coffee best. I also tried a cappuccino, it was a little watery tasting to me. They have an app for ordering ahead and they also are on Grubhub, Hooked, and LevelUp, each with coupons!! read more

Im personally not a coffee drinker, but my wife and daughters are and they love The Human Bean. I ran through their drive through several times and eventually tried one if their fruit smoothies and now I am more than happy to swing by to get the family coffee drink here because I really enjoy their smoothies. Always encounter very friendly and accommodating employees here. Highly recommend!! In my humble opinion much better than Panera and even Starbucks. Give them a shot! read more

Very friendly staff. Seriously, kudos to whoever is hiring at this location. They have a nice variety of drinks that are super tasty and a nice addition to the coffee scene in Lexington. Their breakfast sandwiches and cookies are good as well. If you are really wanting a treat though, add on one of their biscottis. They are delicious. Outside of an odd location, this place has some potential for growth to other stores! read more

I am so happy this is around the corner from me. Their menu is pretty extensive and overwhelming at first. The staff were all very friendly and answered my questions. The coffee and tea I tried were both delicious. A different and more mellow flavor than the other famous place. I can tell we will be spending a lot of time here trying all the items on the menu. read more

I am a caffeine addict so of course I hit the few drive throughs Lexington has. My drink is a hot Americano, and when I order it HOT at HB I tell them to make it as hot as they can.....and they do ! Also, the drive through line generally moves well, I think the owner has stressed the importance of keeping that line moving. Finally they are not obnoxious in pushing the tips. HB is probably my fave coffee stop in Lex, and I have been in all of them. Oh yeah, and the thickly covered chocolate coffee bean is just enough sweet. Love me some HB. read more

Delicious coffee in a perfect grab and go location. The service was fast and friendly. My Wife and I had the frozen Granita, which was so tasty. Also, I love that the coffee shop is open super early and late (9 pm). Happy to have another great coffee option in Lexington! read more

The flavor and quality of The Human Bean is superb. The whole experience here seems to brighten my morning. The staff is both prompt and super friendly. Next time you are headed out to get that "Seattle based coffee" stop by The Human Bean instead. read more

I've been to the Human Bean a handful of times and tried something different each time. I've never been disappointed!! There are soooo many options to chose from. Staff is always friendly and informative as well. The chocolate covered coffee bean you get with your drink is like the cherry on top! Human Bean is a little less pricey than Starbucks with more options and outstanding coffee!! read more
