We ordered our smoothies through drive-thru and received our orders in less than 5 minutes, so it was really convenient! Service was friendly as well. Blueberry pomegranate + strawberry banana smoothies with whipped cream - Honestly the BEST smoothies I've ever had. They were both creamy, tasty, and perfectly balanced between sweet and sour. read more

Nothing beats a great Coffee and the cimamon & apple bagel was fantastic as was the coffee and a added plus was a free chocolate covered coffee bean . Service was excellent and the drive thru was convenient. It had a nice outside seating area to enjoy your coffee beverages. What a great find and for sure a must stop for a great cup of Joe. Next time on our way north we will stop in at the Templeton location which i saved in my coffee folder. read more

Excellent Americano! Perfect every time. Service is always quick and I love that it's a drive thru.

Small hazelnut hot chocolate with whip cream; $4.50 ish. Good but next time I'll ask for extra hot. Great set up, nice signage and pictures for ordering. Friendly staff during ordering and at payment. Reminds me of Dutch Bro's. read more

The Human Bean - Hazelnut hot chocolate - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Morro Bay, California

Customer service was good! It was my first time so the barista was very nice in answering all my questions. I asked which was their sweetest, most popular drink for coffee and she mentioned the snowy one (the white chocolate mocha drink). I took it iced, light ice. It's a no from me dawg. Tasted very watered down and I didn't like it at all, which sucked because I went out of my way to find a coffee drive thru to make a 2 hour trip back home. Oh well. BUT!! Those little chocolate covered espresso beans are TO DIE FOR!!! They put it on top of your drink and one taste and I asked to purchase a bag. They were sooooo good! I also bought a tri tip burrito. It was just okay. Was unfortunate that they don't make their burritos to order so if there's anything you don't want in it, you're SOL. If they upgraded their tortillas, I bet it'd make a world of difference. My subtraction of stars is for the yuck coffee and just ok burrito. read more

This was my first time having The Human Bean, and I was very pleased with my coffee. They were very friendly, and it was super fast! The one thing that I appreciated was the service aspect, super friendly and welcoming! Sadly most other coffee places will just take your order and lack the human connection of being friendly and welcoming. Would definitely recommend and plan to come back the next time I am in town. read more

** Visited on 4/20/2024 The Human Bean's staff is super kind and was very informative. The location is catered more for their drive thru but you are able to park on the curb and walk up to their walk up window. The drive thru isn't incredibly hard to navigate, but it's a little tough to get out of due to the incoming traffic on Morro Bay Bvld. OKAY THE DRINKS: I usually come here for a green tea or chai smoothie- something quick, sweet, and refreshing. But today I was feeling the need for a coffee pick me up. I ended up getting an iced caramel latte with oat milk which was tasty and nice. It wasn't something astonishing but it definitely got the job done :) read more

See all

Great coffee! Stopped by on the way to San José, so it was a quick visit, but glad we stopped here. Only con I experienced was no pricing on the order board outside, I like to know how much my coffee will be before I pay. read more

Please display prices!!! Whatever happened w price changes, etc etc- the lack of transparency and all other things puts the burden of unknowns on the customer. Customer service is dying and the only way to try to restore. It is to stop going to places that have taken advantage of this. I hope that I don't have to do this here because they are Very kind -but once again enough is enough and I'm here to call out any business that doesn't put up. Prices has crazy things in fine print or has stopped cleaning their public restrooms. read more

The waiter was very kind at the window. She asked us if we wanted to"the bean", so ominously right? Well we said we did want it. "The bean" was delicious and it is a chocolate covered coffee bean that comes in addition to your drink. My main drink was the frozen hot chocolate. It was scrumptious. Very nice coffee shop. read more

I've been to different locations throughout the Central Valley and coast but this location wins the prize for being the worst. This is the place to go if you want the most watered down piece of shit drinks in the universe. Good job at fucking up something as simple as a hot chocolate and Mexi Moca. I will not come back to this location, even if I was to buy the place, fire the person who made us our drinks along with the manager who hired her. I don't even want these drinks in my car any longer, it's making smell like Dasani water. read more

The Human Bean - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Morro Bay, California

The barista was kind, our drinks were yummy, made quickly, and came at a good price. After a poor experience elsewhere right before, this spot was quite the refresh! read more

The service was excellent they pride in that! But the drinks are average and the food is prepackaged so not the best! Probably best was the Mexi coffe drink and the breakfast burrito. The sandwiches are dull besides being spicy it's a weird combo and the muffin top tastes like it has not been baked! read more

We saw the stand. We liked the way it looked. The next thing I knew, I was in the drive through not knowing anything about the place. Luckily, no one else was in line on the New Years Day that we were there. When we pulled up to the menu, we finally figured out that they were a drive through coffee shop. Service was good. We ordered a couple of drinks, a hazelnut breve for me, and a blended drink for my wife. The drink came with a chocolate covered espresso bean on top. The bean was a nice surprise. Both my wife and I enjoyed our drinks. We like it because they were not too sweet. It was a good spot for us to discover. read more

Excellent coffee and service - so glad I don't have to drive to Oregon anymore for this treat!

The human bean is just alright. I believe they have a good selection of drinks but not food. The drinks in my opinion are too overpriced. Also when I order and energy drink, sometimes they tell me I can only order in one size - 32oz which is way too big for my liking, then other times they offer me a 24oz and say they can make it that way as well. I don't appreciate the inconsistency with their sizing. To me the wait time is too long. I don't believe they are understaffed I think they just can't manage the traffic in their lines because today I waited for 20 mins for one drink when there was only one other person in front of me who also got one drink. read more

Excellent cup of coffee and customer service. Will definitely return. Also love supporting local coffee shops.

The best Irish Crème Breves! These guys are always brewing coffee with a smile. Safe spot for a cup of Joe (across from police station) and close to PCH. Stop in if you're nearby. read more

Ive been here twice -- the experience is friendly and fast, great ingredients, but I've been disappointed in the drinks. Both times I asked for extra ice in my large iced latte, and I get about 8 melted ice cubes. I guess I need to be more explicit in my request, but I don't want to come off as condescending to the barista. This is why I end up going to starbucks instead. read more

Fantastic drinks and quick friendly service Nice to have a local drive thru coffee place. $13 for two large coffees read more

Great location, convenient, and pretty quick. My second visit, today with T who was driving. Drive up and order, I ventured out of my cup and got a large Mac Mocha, espresso, milk, macadamia nut and chocolate. I was disappointed to taste scalding milk and frankly no other flavor, won't be ordering that next time. T had her usual and was quite happy with that. There is a good variety of baked goods and breakfast nosh, none of which I've tried. I'll follow up with that tasting in my next review. foodguy-Martin read more

We came to morro to visit when this location first opened at it was amazing we loved and bought coffee there everyday for the two weeks we were here. This trip we've tried it twice and it was terrible we threw away three drinks the first day and 2 the second we someone be going back a third. The coffee drinks taste like bunt water not coffee flavor. read more

The Human Bean - Drive Up window! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Morro Bay, California

I usually come up to Morro Bay a few times a year, and I've really grown a liking of this spot. The coffee is great, and each time the staff has been pleasant and friendly. The little chocolate covered espresso bean is another nice touch. It's a drive thru location, although you can walk up and order too. The location itself is convenient, and has usually been easy for me to get and out of. I'll be coming back on my next visit, I'm sure! read more

usually when we come it's a girl who takes our order and they're always nice and everything is good. today it was a guy and he was short, rude and i felt rushed and like i was inconveniencing him for ordering an oatmilk vanilla latte with 3 shots and caramel syrup...... im sorry if that's asking a lot, im a barista myself and i know its a straightforward drink. so we get our drinks, mine tastes like water :( overall sad about this and the croissant "sandwiches" are not sandwiches at all, they're more like stuffed croissants? which is fine! just misleading. i would've ordered something more filling elsewhere. read more

Drive thru was quick and we didn't have to wait in line as we were the only one ordering. I got a iced mocha drink which was okay. It was very light in flavor and didn't have a strong mocha flavor. It would've been better if it was a stronger flavor. read more

The Human Bean - Iced mocha with chocolate espresso on top - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Morro Bay, California

We found this coffee shop on our last trip to Morro Bay. We had no idea it was a chain at first. Usually, we try to support local businesses and we thought we were until we looked further into it. But the damage has already been done and we are addicted. Hands down the best coffee you're going to find. Better than Starbucks and Dunkin by a long shot. The drinks are amazing and the chocolate covered coffee beans are the best. It surprised us at first because they put one on top of your drink lid and we were not expecting it or sure what it was (what better way to test something unknown than to pop it in your mouth and hope for the best, right?) but it ended up being my new favorite thing and I bought a whole bag. They employees were so sweet the two times we went during our trip. I really wish we had a location close to us in southern California. read more

Always a stop when we come to Morro Bay! Great drinks and very friendly!!! Best in town!

I was happy to see this "The Human Bean" location while driving around Morro Bay. Yes they are a little difficult to pull in and out of due to the location. But it's not as anger inducing as some wrote here lol. I got the Java chip which was great. We also got a bag of their espresso bean chocolates. So yummy. This is my second visit to a Human Bean coffee shop and I've been very pleased with the beverages and service at both locations, so as of right now, I'm a fan. read more

If you value your car rims and wheels please dont come here. There was not enough clearance to turn. The other drivethru menu was closed and blocked so I didnt have a choice but to turn on the first window.I told the barista about the sharp hairpin turn and she's like"yeah you're not the only one, it happens all the time,we see it on the camera" im like seriously and the managent is not doing anything?!!!!!!!Wow!!! I have to spend thousands of dollars to replace this!!! And the coffee is weak! read more

The Human Bean - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Morro Bay, California

A very cool concept and I think it won't work everywhere but it works here. This is a small drive threw only coffee shop with a little bit of a confusing menu, but a nice appoarch to coffee. The staff are great at walking you through the menu and they have some nice choices for kids. I enjoyed the whole experience and came out more happy and satisfied then I expected. read more

What a great addition to Morro Bay this is my new go to coffee shop in town. Hands down better than all the others and you don't have to get out of the car. Today's visit was my second (in celebration they were giving $2 off each drink) so we did a night drive grabbed some lattes and smoothies and drove around town. They serve a chocolate covered coffee bean with every drink and I bought a pack to snack on. First visit had a hiccup but the owners made it right and then some. This coffee place is the best fit for Morro Bay I am a convert! read more

The Human Bean - Pumpkin Latte with their infamous choc covered coffee beans - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Morro Bay, California

Super cute drive-thru. I was in the area when I noticed the unique name and cars driving through. I ordered a medium iced mocha with oat milk. It was tasty! I loved the chocolate covered bean they put on top. That was a complete surprise! Cute detail that made it a special experience. I also ordered a bagel with cream cheese. Not sure where they get the bagels from but it was large and fresh! Great experience and next time I'm in the area I will likely stop by again. read more

We have watched the building come up, although with Covid restrictions in place these two seniors do not leave our nest often. Today, Ed had to run errands, and included checking out the new establishment. Found the people friendly and happy to introduce him to the menu. Being cautious he decided he would get a plain coffee for us to share. This is excellent full-bodied coffee, without being bitter. We loved it, and are laying our plans for our next trip out, to use the drive-thru to start sampling choices from the menu. We are expecting to be "frequent flyers" through the drive-thru, although I am looking forward to an opportunity to browse in the shop...I LOVE, LOVE coffee! Margie Steele Morro Bay, CA read more

Great hot cocoa, the coffee is ok but the true gems are the BBQ chicken sandwich and the sun-dried tomato, mozzarella pesto sandwiches! Great pricesb read more

We were very very impressed! We wanted coffee and couldn't find any around the area that was open. So here we go! We were nervous because we're deaf and we had to use our cell phone to text our order. They were very patient and accepted our order. The coffee for me was just the way I like it! Hubs had the strawberry frozen drink and it was gone too fast! Overall it's so nice to be able to drive up and get a delicious coffee for the long road back home. Thank you! read more

Stopped here to get some drinks on our way back to Santa Clarita from my birthday trip. We accidentally ended up ordering a regular iced breve latte cause we couldn't quite hear what they said back to us on the speaker. When I tell you it was the most delicious and rich latte I've ever had it is no exaggeration!! And normally I like overly sweet coffee but the quality of their espresso really made the drink sweet and creamy without any sweetener. Not to mention the cute little choco espresso bean that came on top :) I work at a Starbucks and nothing here comes close. I've been longing for that latte ever since lol. Definitely stop here if you're nearby and appreciate good coffee! read more
