Supporting local establishments can be tough when it's hard to get to them! That was my experience with Human Bean. It is a tiny drive-thru coffee stand essentially, and if you are not paying the highest degree of attention, you will certainly miss your turn and having to loop around the nearby high school just to try to make your way. When I did manage to get through the drive-thru, I ordered one of their signature lattes, but since I can't even recall the flavor, that alone is telling that the coffee was not memorable. The only reason why I am taking the time to write a review is to mention their signature chocolate-covered coffee bean with each order. When I received my latte, it came with a white-chocolate covered coffee bean on top. I thought that was adorable! read more

The Human Bean - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pflugerville, Texas

Solid coffee but also a bit of something for everyone from dessert drinks to protein blends. Bakery items are solid but sourced externally. Granita - a simple frozen coffee. Not heavily sweetened or anything, just a refreshing wake up call. It's a no frills frozen coffee that serves as a good foundation for everything else. Sweeteners and flavors can be added but instead of going through that hassle, their premade frozen treats seem solid. White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookie - I did not expect to be buying Seattle's Favorite (brand) here but The Human Bean is from the PNW. Tasty and very sweet, pretty standard for white chocolate cookies. Banana Nut Muffin Top - a 520 calorie cookie looking muffin. In particular, the banana nut is like banana bread, go figure. It's really no different than a whole muffin but it's easier to eat especially on the go because of the compact, flattened cookie shape. Lots of banana to get excited about, the taste is super strong. It's also accompanied by almonds and walnuts. I'm also positive this is Seattle's Favorite (brand) because they also sell muffin tops and have the same nutrition. If that's the case, not sure why they chose to rebrand the muffin top but not the cookie. read more

The Human Bean will help restore your faith in humanity, one espresso shot at a time. Remarkably vegan friendly, there's a wide range of alt milks upon request. My personal favorite is the Mexi-Oat Shaken Espresso, with sweet spices and a cool finish that hits in every season. There are also fresh fruit smoothies in case you're craving something sans caffeine. It's a drive-thru only situation so you barely even need to pause on your way to work. read more

This place has definitely go DOWNHILL significantly. I try really hard to not leave bad reviews but this morning I drove all the way across town and decided to use a free drink here and all I can say was I wasted a free drink. I got the 32 oz Lucky Charm Granita and I added a couple shots. I know adding shots waters it down some, but this drink was like drinking lukewarm water with slight coffee flavor. I guess I should have turned around and tried to see if they could fix it but I mistakenly assumed it would get better the more I drank it. I may have to stick with either Dutch Bros or 7Brew in Round Rock. I really loved coming here but I hate wasting money and free drinks on mediocre product. read more

My drinks are always tasty and I love seeing local students working. They are the sweetest!

First time customer! Might be my new favorite coffee shop!! I purchased the Iced Pumpkin Patch- So so good! The service was excellent and fast! 100% recommend! read more

Love this place! Great variety of drinks. I had a blackberry coconut granita. Fabulous. Service is very helpful. These drinks are a cut above the standard Starbucks and Dunkin. Use the walk up window to check out the variety of drinks. Give them a try. You'll be addicted. read more

The Human Bean joined our small troupe of drive-thru-only coffee options in Pflugerville sometime during the great storm of 2021, and I think it's fantastic. Great place to warm up. Always cheerful, and I love that there's a nice variety of sugar-free options. The employee said they can essentially make any of their signature drinks sugar-free. I love the little touch of adding a chocolate-covered coffee bean atop the drinks. read more

The coffee is amazing here! Bella was very nice and our drinks were served in a timely fashion. Best drive thru coffee spot around town I highly recommend and suggest it! read more

Love their coffee! I like the granita, but that only comes in blended. Been here many times. This small coffee shack has some wonderful flavors. Wonderful service! I was here on a Sunday 7:20 am. And they were open! The toasted coconut sugar free syrup in my hot coffee hit the right spot. Good Morning, Pflugerville! read more

Delicious coffee and we rarely catch a line. It's one of our Pflugerville favorites! I like that they have so many different options and fun drinks too. read more

It's a drive thru, a little confusing BUT they are Quick, friendly and delicious. This coffee actually kept me awake, unlike others.

This place is awesome. Great quality coffee beans. The drinks are consistently good. Very friendly staff. Biggest win is that Human Bean decaf uses the Swiss water method, which is a natural way of getting rid of caffeine. Vs Starbucks, Dunkin' and Summer moon all use the cheap chemical option that has been linked to cancer and infertility. Safest coffee in the Austin area 5 stars read more

I was sent a free drink coupon card in the mail from them so I of course went over to get my free drink. I had to download the app and then scan the QR code on the coupon card they sent me for it to work to begin with. Why not just have the coupon directly on the card to start? I head over and then order my drinks that are already completely overpriced. I bring my phone over for the barista to scan my QR code to get my free drink and then she tells me that they have no internet. The baristas also seem to know nothing about this free drink. I was absolutely dumbfounded since, if your internet is down, how are you still able to take my digital payment????? I drove all the way over here just for my coupon to not even work... Very upset and will not be coming back. read more

Walk up or choose between two drive up windows. Using their app is easy and rewards add up quickly.

I love this place! There's always a lot of different recommendations the staff make and the drive thru is super convenient. Staff is always nice and the beans are yum! read more

Great service my barista was friendly and efficient! Coffee was amazing as always. Lots of non dairy options as well!

Amazing quality and service. Very friendly staff and little to no wait time. Great essential coffee shop.

Costumer service is great and friendly, plus the coffee is amazing! Totally recommend! :)

The blended chai latte is a religious experience. I'm glad their far away from where I live because I'd be there everyday giving them all my money. Nice servers every time I've been there, pleasant and enjoying their day which makes my day. read more

I drink coffee- black coffee, so my review is based on that- black coffee. I am not a fan of most chain coffee places either. I pulled in line (this was a drive-thru only) and was sitting about 4 cars deep. The line moved pretty quickly and when I got to the window and ordered a black coffee, preferably the strongest/boldest one they have, I was told they had to make some and it would be a couple of minutes. I saw people in line behind me and was thinking they are not going to be happy with me just sitting here for awhile. I was pleasantly surprised that I was handed my cup in less than a minute, certainly quicker than I thought it was going to be. The staff was very polite and friendly, and they were very busy. I was disappointed in the flavor. It was too weak for my tastes and if that is the boldest they have I won't be back. I want that coffee to punch me in the mouth and have my throat and stomach yell at me! I did not have that experience. Oh well, I did try it. I have read really great reviews of all the flavored drinks but that is not what I do. It is quick, they are friendly and convenient though. read more

I looove The Human Bean! I'm not a big coffee person, but they have the best Chai Latte with oat milk that I've ever had, seriously. The chocolate covered coffee bean they include with your drink is a nice touch, and so delicious. The staff is always super sweet and personable. Oh, the bagels are great too! It's honestly my new favorite coffee shop! read more

I had the sugar free Irish Cream coffee hot. It was rich and warm and delicious with no sugar free after taste. The male Barista that took my order was extremely kind and patient. He knew his products well to help me decide that I ended up going with his favorite and I was not disappointed at all. My husband had Caramel hazelnut Mocha. He thought it was pretty good as well. I totally recommend this place to anyone that likes coffee. read more

Always great! Friendly staff, consistent drinks. We drive out of our way to go here! Recommend.

Hands down the best coffee shop in town! The drinks are always delicious, and you even get a chocolate covered espresso bean which is such a nice touch. The owner and staff are so friendly and fast! We love taking our pups here for a special treat as well read more

The Human Bean - The remains of the Java Chip Granita lol - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pflugerville, Texas

I've been hearing so many great things about this place that once I heard there was a location here in TX I had to give it a try. Now I'm not a coffee drinker but was told all their drinks are fantastic! So I tried their frozen hot chocolate!! Let me say it was so delicious!!! The chocolate had like this pudding taste. Frozen super creamy goodness! I couldn't get enough and my only complaint is that I ordered a medium and not a bigger size haha Now I also tried a muffin too cause it reminded me of Seinfeld where Elaine helped out with the muffin top shop hahaha I would say these were NOT good! It was like a very cold flat muffin cookie. I definitely wouldn't order that again. read more

Great place.Can be intimidating w all the customization if you don't know what you want.Theyre bananas muffin tops are very yummy and moist.

The menu is unique however no coffee shop is complete without an aesthetic spot to enjoy the joe! Ordered a Java chip and a snowy mocha. The pups got the pup treats and they loved it. The Java chip was very sweet just the way I like it! read more

The Human Bean - Java Chip Smoothie - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pflugerville, Texas

So tasty! I've been here a few times and each time the staff have been wonderful and the drinks yummy. I love that you actually get more espresso with larger sized drinks instead of just more milk (like at another place that rhymes with barshucks). The chocolate covered espresso bean with each drink is a nice touch as well. 10/10 recommend! read more

They have great tea choices and my family loves the coffees too. I like the loyalty membership with the specials right in your phone in the app! read more

I was a regular but after the last three visits you deserve a review. Employees are not as friendly as when you first opened. Your drinks are overpriced, often my orders are disappointing, your employees aren't skilled properly to make them and they expect a double tip for rude service. Not only do they still have their little tip jars by the windows, you now have the pay system set up for them to get a second tip. Maybe pay your employees a better wage so they won't have to beg for a double tip. Congrats, you now have one less car going through your drive thru and less money in your pockets. read more

Super friendly staff! They have decaf espresso which is great, because I'm pregnant and have had a tough time finding good half caf coffees. They can make it however you like it. Most of their stuff is sweet but the iced americano with just cream is amazing. Recommend! read more

Human Bean? Not very humane. For a time, we drove all the way from Round Rock for their coffee because it was high quality, friendly service, and an overall good vibe. After a while, their coffee quality started to decline (lack of flavor, watery, wrong orders, etc). This got frustrating due to the long drive and amount of times we had to do this. We had to call back several times and ask to remake the drinks due to their watered-down, flavorless consistency as we had just paid money and used the gas to get there (gas is not cheap in Austin). In the process of their steady decline, the manager's husband called my car UGLY while he was taking my order (I'm not joking!!). We let the manager know, and he called me back to apologize. Finally, we call back yet again to have them remake our order. The manager was extremely rude, gaslit us, pointed out that it was our problem in a snide manner, and HUNG UP ON US. There are much better coffee shops with more consistency, better service, and employees who don't insult you or hang up on you. read more

I'm kind of boring and get the same thing every time, but to be fair... it's DELICIOUS. Whoever decided they would use chocolate milk in their Snowy Mocha deserves an award. I've worked at another coffee shop related to a green siren and they have Nothing on The Human Bean. I'd give more stars if Yelp let me, they definitely deserve it. read more

Great coffee! The lavender tea is great, I would recommend adding extra sugar, though.

The coffee wasn't bad but it wasn't great. Barely any coffee taste and all you can taste is the flavoring. Truthfully it isn't the best place when there is so many other options around. If you have no where else to go then be careful about the coffee you choose. This place lacks strong coffee and only really offers flavors that over power the drink. read more

I don't usually write reviews but after the experience my partner and i had here i feel like i almost had to. we drove up with our small dog in the backseat and the barista took notice of her and offered her a pup cup (which she loves) but that's when things took a turn for the darker. he then started to recount an disgustingly graphic instance in which he had recently beat a pit bull off of his dog with a baseball bat and warned us about walking our dog (completely unsolicited might I add) he then went into detail about which weapons he would choose to beat a pit bull with if it happened again. i was incredibly uncomfortable with the mention of violence against animals but was in the passenger seat so he was mostly talking to my partner. when the barista leaned over to grab our card for payment I noticed how dirty his hands were. there was black dirt under his nails and it looked as if he had been working in a mechanic shop instead of a coffee shop. i am not mentioning this detail to be mean but to express how unhygienic it was. while he was making the drinks he continued to discuss violence against pit bulls with weapons like ice picks and other violent means. it was an incredibly uncomfortable experience that lasted about 10 minutes and i did not feel comfortable drinking the drinks that were handed to us by this barista. we didn't even get a pup cup after having to sit through all of this either. horribly disappointed in human bean for this. read more
