Human Kindness & Top-Tier Brews: The Human Bean Stole Our Hearts!
My sister originally spotted this new spot and was immediately drawn to the clever name--and since I was visiting from California and she rarely ventures out for coffee, we took it as a sign to give The Human Bean a try. We were so glad we did!
While we were initially surprised to find out it was drive-thru only, that didn't stop us at all. The moment we pulled up to the order speaker, a cheerful barista walked right up to my sister's window with the warmest, most energetic welcome. Since this location is brand new to the area, she enthusiastically walked us through the entire setup--from drink types, milk choices, and smoothies to the company's history and even items on their secret menu!
What impressed me most was her genuine care. When I was considering the Shaken Espresso, she gently steered me away after making sure I understood it had a very strong, pure espresso flavor profile that might not fit what I was looking for. That kind of honesty saved me from a disappointing order. I can honestly say I've never experienced better customer service at a coffee spot--every single staff member was smiling, friendly, and welcoming. Starbucks doesn't even compare!
To top it all off:
The Drinks: Delicious, thoughtfully crafted, and served with a cute signature chocolate-covered coffee bean on top! The pricing felt completely fair for the high quality without feeling nickeled and dimed.
The Food: I ordered a breakfast burrito that arrived piping hot, fresh, and perfectly sized. It's reasonably priced so you aren't paying for an overpriced meal you can't finish, though it was still generous enough to leave me completely satisfied.
I will absolute be returning every single time I'm back in town--for the fantastic coffee as much as the incredible service! read more
