You've heard the expression "small, but mighty," right? This very aptly describes this very…read morenarrow, very small coffee shop over in Severna Park! It might look tiny, but don't misjudge the coffee and other drinks they are making here! I actually went back after my first order to try another beverage, it was that good. I started with a Fall-flavored 'refresher,' though I can't honestly remember the name. But, it was amazing! I was down the strip a few shops for an event, so I popped back to The Big Bean before they closed for their "Not Ready for Winter" coffee concoction. Another winner! I also picked up a couple of biscotti for later. When we did finally get around to trying them, they were incredible! Very hard and crunchy as a biscotti should be, and perfect for soaking up some coffee for dunking. And the flavors are perfect. Other people were ordering their breakfast sandwiches, which honestly looked and smelled incredible... I just didn't have room for food that day. Or, I would have totally ordered one just based off of others' orders alone! The real five-star facet here, though, was the staff. They were very friendly and helpful, despite how busy they were. They still found time for friendly and cheerful banter while ringing everyone up. I don't think team members get enough credit when they go above and beyond, but please take the time to tip or at least acknowledge the fantastic folks here! Overall, it's a wonderful coffee shop that I wish were closer to home! And... had more parking! The number and orientation of spots here isn't ideal, but it's worth an extra walk (huge lot across the street) for the drinks, snacks, and people at The Big Bean. Outstanding overall experience!

The food is better than the coffee, IMO - the Tito Burrito is so yummy! They also introduced me to Yellow Bird sauces, which they sell and offer for use on your food - they are the best hot sauce I've ever had! Honestly, they're a very good place to stop in for breakfast. Just make sure if you order on a weekend morning that you give them LOTS of time to make your coffee if you want something fancy - order ahead. Otherwise, if you're just getting food, it'll be ready within a few minutes, you don't have to order ahead. I am taking away a star and giving them 4/5 because the tables can be messy, the room echoes really loudly so it's hard to talk to someone, and the prices are out of this world for their coffee and tea. The food carries this place to a fairly high spot in my rankings of local restaurants, but there are definitely a few issues that bug me about this place.

Their beverage selection includes bottled drinks, freshly brewed coffee, and other hot options. We all thoroughly enjoyed our crepes, which were substantial in size. The restaurant itself is cozy and lively, and while we were able to be seated immediately, it's clear that it can become quite busy. The staff is remarkably friendly and courteous. I look forward to returning and would encourage others to give it a try.

The barista took our orders promptly, and made the drinks in the expected amount of time. The drinks themselves were quite tasty, and piping hot.

This is easily my favorite place to go and get a cup of coffee partially bc the vibe is so comfortable, but also bc they have an assortment of non traditional seasonal drinks that you can only find here. Oh, and there's a food truck too, serving up delicious breakfast sandwiches and breads. I'm writing this late bc I procrastinated but I remember exactly what I got - a strawberry shortcake cold brew that was delicious. Paris got an iced vanilla latte with caramel and we dined on avocado toast, breakfast sandwiches and "French toast" with cream cheese icing.

The mango shrimp salad was phenomenal--bright, refreshing, and packed with flavor. It was the perfect mix of sweet, tangy, and savory, and honestly could've been a meal on its own. The fish sauce chicken wings were outstanding: crispy on the outside, juicy inside, and coated in a rich, savory sauce that kept you reaching for another wing. We also had the bún bò Huế, which was bold and deeply flavorful with a nice level of spice--exactly what you want from this dish. The pho was comforting and well done, with a clean, aromatic broth and generous portions. The spring rolls were fresh and light, a great starter to balance out the heartier dishes. Overall, Pho Diner delivered on every dish we tried. Solid Vietnamese food with great flavors and variety. Definitely a spot worth coming back to if you're in the Pasadena area.
