    Our first time in this branch of the local chain! We did not immediately realize that it was drive through. Liked the "bean" or candy on top of the drink!

    Was in town to see my son. Stopped in to get my morning coffee. Was very good. I got an iced mocha. Very delicious and we went back there right before heading to the airport to come back to San Jose. Will definitely be my out of town coffee spot when in town again.

    The biscuit was so good. I don't think I've had anything like this before especially from a coffee shop. I loved the kick of the jalapeño and the juicy chicken was great as well! The coffee was yummy as well!! Can't comment on service or ambiance since somebody else picked them up for me :)

    My little sister raves about this place so I was excited to try it, but it turned out to be disappointing for me. It doesn't help that the location is right off the freeway, but the girl could not hear our order so she had us pull up to the window. I ordered a holiday drink and she asked if I wanted it breve like three times and I kept saying I didn't know what that meant. She never told me... When we got up to the window, she was talking to another girl and said f**k right when we pulled up. My drink tasted like coffee with no flavor, I got the chocolate macadamia dream. If the service was better, I would go back to try another drink.

    I'm not usually near a Human Bean, so when driving by this location I decided to stop here and try it out. The building looks pretty new and the exterior was nice. They have a drive thru and it looked like a walk up window as well. I went through the drive thru and ordered a 16 oz hot mocha. Paying was a breeze and the staff working were very nice. They also give you a chocolate covered espresso bean on top of your drink which is always a nice treat. Overall a great transactional experience. The downside for me was the drink itself - I couldn't taste the coffee or any chocolate even. I don't like drinks overly sweet so a more subtle mocha flavor is fine with me but it really just tasted like steamed milk. I'm not sure if the default for a mocha here is whole milk or even 2%, but I probably should have asked, so that's my bad. I like stronger drinks too, so it could just be my personal taste. The menu looks promising so I would likely give them another chance if back in the area and make sure I ordered my next drink with an extra shot and/or nonfat milk to get a better feel for what they have to offer.

    My friend Natalie P. had been checking in to this place and I'm always on the search for a great iced latte. This is a Dutch Bros concept of drive through and walk up for ordering. I didn't want to hold up a line so I opted to walk up and order at the counter. I ordered the iced snowy mocha. Each drink is topped with a chocolate covered coffee bean which is a cute touch! The drink was good however, I think there is room for improvement on it. It tasted extremely watered down the second I sipped it. I expect ice to melt as it sits however it tasted watery as soon as it was served. Second, the beans tasted like they were over roasted almost a slight burnt flavor. I'll definitely stop in again next time I come across and try a hot drink!

    Been on a coffee search lately and finally tried out the Human Bean. They seem to follow Dutch Bros service style in the drive thru, which during Covid might not be the greatest. The guy seemed to climb through our window and kept playing with his mask as he took our order. Very pleasant though! My husband ordered the Mexi Mocha which was rich and delicious. I ordered the salted caramel latte which was a great disappointment. Potentially I got someone else's order of just and iced coffee? Mine had no flavor whatsoever - really just tasted like a watery iced coffee. Unfortunately I didn't try it until we were on the freeway and wasn't going to turn around. When she handed it to me, she said it was a salted caramel latte, so who knows?? I certainly won't order that again. The place was clean, the service was quick and polite. The chocolate covered espresso bean a nice touch. Will potentially give them another shot if around the neighborhood. (had to laugh as the car in front of us had a dutch bros sticker on it! )

    Not bad coffee. My first time here and I told her what flavors I liked. Which are caramel , vanilla, & mocha and she added all 3 of them. It almost tasted like an iced caramelizer but maybe next time no vanilla. My brother got a granita with caramel flavoring. He said his drink tasted like a Dutch bros drink too. The granita is really good. They also give you an espresso bean on top of your drink and it's edible. Like an m&m.

    WTF... I feel like I'm in the movie super troopers. My cup is all saturated after sitting in the cup holder for 30 minutes. Defective coffee cup? Don't know all I know is that the interior of my truck is all messy now. Maybe because someone's cutting corners on materials.

    Here is the menu in the sun!

    We came in about 10minutes before closing. They were with a…read morecostumer and my son asked if we could use the kiosk. He is 10. I let him do his drink. Saw he clicked the right stuff. I order four drinks in total. While we were doing this my 5year old needed to use the restroom, they told us we weren't allowed to use the bathrooms becas they already cleaned them. We thought this was rude, she is 5, we were paying customers, and they were still open. So my husband had to take her somewhere else. Because of this and having to watching my three boys, I quickly hit order without double checking which is my fault, but they were closing and told customers if they didn't hurry and order they wouldn't be able to. I ordered four drinks total, when the order came. We noticed sons honeydew drink with crystal boba wasn't in there, instead it was a jasmine tea. No boba. Which is odd, I saw him add it to the order. I noticed the drink I got for my husband had boba which I don't add. They showed me the order and sure enough it said what they gave. I told them there must have been an error but okay. My son was clearly upset, not hysterical but trying not to cry (he was really looking forward to it). The guy who made the drinks just walked away didn't try to help. Remaking the drink would have been easy. The girl at the front just stared at him while I explained that we must have made a mistake, I saw him add his drink but I should have double checked. Although we used the kiosk, most places with good customer service would gladly remake a drink if you don't like it. They did not care, they were rude and nasty to myself and son. We go here every time we go to noterra. We will not be going back,

Finally decided to try the jasmine milk tea, unsweetened, non dairy with soy milk, half honey boba and half herbal jelly and it was super average, actually below average. I've been drinking milk tea for over 15 years and have tried numerous places and unfortunately this just really didn't cut it for me. It wasn't creamy (it was actually pretty watery), the honey boba didn't taste at all like honey and was not uniform texture - they were gritty in the center, and the herbal jelly was also lacking flavor. A large size cost over $10. I am happy to pay top dollar for top quality but this was really not worth it in my opinion and I think it was at least double the cost it should have been. The only redeeming quality is the service - all the young employees there are very polite and knowledgeable about the menu.

    Phoenix isn't exactly known for its seafood, so we had to do some digging to find a good dinner…read morespot. After researching local recommendations, we came across this place and were immediately intrigued. Lobster rolls for under $20? That's almost unheard of these days! We decided to take a chance, and I'm glad we did. This is definitely a unique concept. Orders are placed online or through the drive-thru kiosk, and everything is cashless--you simply tap your card to pay. There isn't a dining room or seating area, so it's more of a grab-and-go experience. We ordered the warm lobster rolls with butter, and they did not disappoint. The butter comes conveniently packaged on the side, making it easy to spread over the roll. The lobster was flavorful, the roll was delicious, and the value for the price was outstanding. We enjoyed it so much that we immediately told our family members who live in the area that they needed to check it out for themselves. If you're looking for a tasty lobster roll without spending a fortune, this spot is definitely worth a visit!

I just paid $22.99 for a jumbo size lobster roll. What i got was a wad of lobster in a texas toast folded in half. This is ridiculous. I really thought they messed up and gave me a regular size or even small. Went back to the walk up window and asked if this was right and they confirmed it was right. The girl confirmed she weighed it out to 5.5 oz. Pictures below. Oh year I put the key fob in the tray so you can see how small the sandwich is as a reference. I was expecting a meal, got myself an expensive appetizer, Next time i'll go to jimmy johns and have a giant sandwhich for the same price. That will last me two meals. Can cross this off my list.

My vanilla latte was fresh, smooth, and really well made. You can tell they take their coffee seriously without taking themselves too seriously. The staff was friendly and welcoming, which only added to the experience. My only complaint is the hours. They're open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily, except on Sunday 8-2.which can make it a little difficult to visit. I'd love to see open earlier  so more people could enjoy the space and great coffee. We did get the right before 7 and the line behind us was about 10 people. So it's definitely a hit with their customers. That said, this feels like one of those neighborhood spots you'll find yourself coming back to again and again. Looking forward to my next visit!
