I've never had a bad experience with Human Bean! Great coffee, employees with great attitudes, and quick service! My favorite thing about Human Bean is other than the Santa Special (wayyyy too much sugar for my liking), you can always taste the coffee and not just sugar. My go-to order is the Irish Cream Breve hot or iced! read more

The drinks are good, they have definitely come up in price. I use to like coming here because they had good drinks and they were less expensive then Starbucks, not anymore. They do charge for milk alternative. Oh and I liked going here because they had butterscotch and they no longer have that either. read more

Fast friendly service and great coffee. What more could you ask for in a drive-thru coffee spot?! With the warmer weather today, I was craving a cooler drink to cool off, so I ordered a green tea smoothie toss up between that or the Java chip. I'm can't wait to have another green tea smoothie later today. Don't forget to ask for your complimentary chocolate covered coffee beans. The smaller business keeps the lines from getting too long and with various locations, if there is a line at one location there is one not too far away. I love that about our small town. read more

After a well needed brow appt. I hit this coffee spot because it was in the same parking lot. I believe I got an Irish Cream. I honestly had to wait sooo long to drink because it was so incredibly hot. It also didn't taste like anything but milk. I was super sad cuz my goal this year was to try more local coffee spots instead of my regular Starbucks. I would like to try again. Drove though is always pretty chill, and I remember the gal being friendly. read more

The Human Bean - Irish Cream Breve - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Reno, Nevada

I love The Human Bean as a whole. This used to be my favorite go to for coffee. My experience with this location in itself has gotten really disappointing. The consistency of the drinks very as well as the customer service. After they were late for their 5am opening a couple times recently, I started going to the one on Plumb or Kietzke Ln now. read more

I love their coffee no matter which location you go to, but this one on McCarran was special because of the staff. The barista was so nice and patient with us, that it made us want to come back here again and again. Their Americano is as good as any I've ever tried. The added touch of putting a chocolate covered espresso bean on the lid is such a nice added bonus. Whether you go through their drive though, or walk up to their door, its worth trying them out as their coffee and all of their offerings are great. read more

The staff here are very friendly. They chat me up at bit each time I drive through. They answer any questions I have about the drinks (I'm slowly weaning myself off of StarBucks). My drinks have been made to order. I rarely wait more than 5 minutes in line. Not much more I can ask for. read more

The group of staff members working on the morning of 3/27/25 do not work well together. We waited 35 minutes in the drive through with only 2 cars ahead of us... just to find that the drink I order multiple times a week had WAY too much syrup in it. I'm unable to drink it. Waste of precious time and money. I would advice the manager to not allow that group of girls to work together moving forward. When we mentioned the long wait, the girl at the window responded aggressively. Sad day! First disappointing experience here. read more

AMAZING service!! The girls at this location today went above and beyond for me and it MADE MY DAY! Thank you ladies for the lovely experience!! Human Bean is by far the best coffee in town. read more

The Human Bean - 20oz Chocolate & Mint Granita - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Reno, Nevada

I'm being generous with my stars today! I am an avid fan of human bean and I go here to this location pretty much on a daily basis! I love to mix and match my coffees and try all the new flavors! My main obsession is that I love how great the baristas are and the manager is amazing! However, Over the last two weeks, I've noticed a change! This morning was no exception! I've never been treated so rudely at this location! The barista was angry when I asked for my coffee to be steamed, then upcharged me from my normal cost, and pretty much threw my coffee out the window when it was ready! The bean flew off, the lid snapped and she said "have a great day" Be wary! I guess a new coffee shop will be in my future! read more

Wow, how have I not heard about this place before? I stumbled upon this place with some friends after trying to go to a (very disappointing) carnival. But this saved the day! The staff was super friendly, happily explaining all their options to us. The little walk up is cute and the options have a good variety from regular coffees, smoothies and fun flavors. The best is that you can pick iced, hot or blended for no additional charge! I love a good blended coffee, so I tried the snowy mocha - their version of a white chocolate mocha with ghiradelli chocolate. I hate super sweet drinks (Starbucks Frappuccinos are a little too much for me), but this drink was nicely balanced where you get some chocolate but still get a good coffee flavor. My friend said the same about her blended Mexican coffee. The pricing was fair for the size. Best part: you get a delicious little chocolate covered coffee bean on top! Extra coffee flavor! Definitely a good find!! read more

The Human Bean - Menu - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Reno, Nevada

My first time visiting the Human Bean and I gotta say, it was a good one! We were out running errands and wanted coffee and decided to give this place a go because it had a drive thru and was a local/small business. Ordering was easy peasy. The menu isn't overwhelming, which is really nice. I did have to ask about their milk alternatives because they aren't listed on the menu (no biggie); they offer oat, almond, soy, and coconut. The barista was outgoing and friendly when we pulled up to the window and promptly had our order. I went with a snowy mocha with oat milk. My husband had a iced coffee with a splash of almond milk. Both were delicious. They added a chocolate covered espresso bean to the lid of each drink, which was such a nice little touch and something that really sets them apart. If you like these, you can also buy small bags of them to take home and enjoy. Careful, though, they're addicting!! I've now been to several of their locations throughout the area and the coffee, service, and friendliness is consistent. I'm so glad we tried this location out on a whim because it's my new local go-to coffee on the go. read more

Way better than Starbucks, and at a better price. If you are absolutely dead set on spending the extra money for an overly sweetened caffeinated beverage, I'd recommend them. read more

Best Coffee Ever! Cassidy was extremely helpful and made my experience so much more worth it! Will definitely be coming back!

Mellie makes the best coffee. She puts the right amount of heavy cream into my americano! Not half and half!

Waited 16 minutes for coffee with only 3 cars ahead of me, which is unacceptable for a drive-thru. There were no large orders to explain the delay. Staff didn't offer explanations or apologies, adding to the frustration. Not ideal for a quick morning coffee run before work. read more

This location is on my way to work and I have definitely taken advantage of that a time or two now. No matter how buys the line, the service is always fast and friendly. They have a great selection of hot or iced beverages to choose from so no matter what you are craving they have something to satisfy your craving. They also offer decaf so that when I am headed home after a long day but still want a treat - decaf to the rescue!! They have snacks also so you don't have to get just a drink. Also, grab a bag of chocolate covered beans - the best treat ever. I keep a bag in my fridge at work. You know, incase of emergencies haha. read more

Thus far, totally my favorite coffee joint in town. Not local but so good. Mexi mocha is my go too and I love that they offer you a Chocolate covered expresso bean with every purchase. They also serve HUGE puppychinos, which make my puppers happy as well. Service is always friendly too! read more

Was recommended to the human bean by a coworker of mine. At the time I was pregnant and only drinking decaf. The staff was very helpful and accommodating. I ordered the iced snowy mocha which is comparable to an iced white mocha at Starbucks. The taste was delicious not overly sweet or watered down. Each coffee is topped off with a chocolate covered espresso bean. Not to mention the price is very affordable. 10/10 will be coming here again! read more

Can't get enough of the snowy mocha especially on these snowy winter days! It always makes my day to come here. Consistently great service and we're always greeted with a smile. The chocolate covered espresso bean is always such a nice addition. 12 and 16 Oz have 2 shots of espresso and the 20oz has 4 shots. read more

Yummmmmmyyyy the service is fast and friendly and the good coffee/chocolate coffee bean is a bonus. They have a good variety of drinks and something for everyone. read more

The Human Bean - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Reno, Nevada

The one time I come back to the human bean and the girls have a s#%^ look attitude. It's another thing to pay $6 dollars for a drink for a 16oz. But it's another thing when the granita is watery to the point of a liquid. But it's worse when the girls have a bad attitude. Nothing better than having your granita melted before it even hits your hand. Thanks for reminding me why I don't come any more. read more

Great smoothies and even better customer service. The ladies here always remember my order! One time my drink was made different than I ordered it and they fixed it immediately even when I said I would take it the way they'd made it. Customer service here the absolute best. read more

I've gone through the drive-thru at the Longley and McCarran Blvd. more than a few times. Every single time, the coffee has been amazing whether hot or cold and the people who have prepared my order have always been super nice. It's awesome to experience polite and efficient customer service these days. Visit them, grab a coffee. You won't be disappointed. read more

By far the best Human Bean location with the BEST human beings . I am a regular to this location and must say the staff here is totally amazing! I love coming here to see the sweet smiling and friendly faces that are always there to welcome me and give me " the usual " since they know my drink by heart already. Shout out to Shenae (sorry if I butchered your name/spelling) for introducing me to a a new drink, the Maverick! It was an awesome drink and I am adding your recommendations to my list of things to order again. Thank you for being so sweet and kind. ^_^ Shout out to Maddie (sorry if I butchered your name/spelling) for being the first one to remember my name and always putting a smile on my face with her amazing personality and humor. Everyone at this location totally rocks! Hell, even if you're not a fan of coffee, just drop by for a snack or tea and let the team take care of you and make your day brighter. Keep up the great work #HumanBeanReno read more

The Human Bean - Breakfast - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Reno, Nevada

I have been here a few times. The staff is always friendly and the drinks are okay. They put (what I think is) a candy coated espresso bean on top of the drinks (if you want) that is delicious. It is such a treat! I had an Irish Breve coffee drink and while it was not bad it was also not good. The strawberry banana shake was flavorful, not too sweet, and surprised me by how good it was. I would recommend this drink. read more

Great coffee but I was going to get a thermos wich is basically free advertising for them but 38 $ wow not gonna happen

the best they gave me a 2 free vanilla smoothies and they were so nice this has to be the best human bean you guys are amazing

199 Check-ins here -- No I don't like it at all. Just kidding. Favorite Place for Coffee so far. I probably have a better relationship with the baristas here than anywhere else in Reno since I see them everyday, sometimes twice. What engineer do you know that doesn't drink massive amounts of coffee? Oh you know one, they're probably a physicist lol. :P This place never disappoints. When the girls (and guys now :)) know my order, it makes me feel good. Like oh you know the same person that orders the exact same thing every day, thank you for remembering that I'm a human. Perfect :) If the line is long, they know my drink, they have it waiting. They know my name. They always ask how I'm doing. I work in an office alone alllllll day long, so this light human interaction really makes a difference in my day, especially when it's a good interaction. Now the coffee -- I think I've managed to get everyone I know hooked on these Americanos. Steamed water and espresso - black, no milk, no sugar. Ok no jokes about how I like my men like my coffee. Lola? - hooked it up the other day with a different bean blend for me. OMGGG.. I am hooked. What a great way to tweak my regular every day drink. I went back twice yesterday. Come here. Drink a Black Americano. Then tell me how right I was and how I changed your life. :) read more

Third time to Reno and I'm so glad I found The Human Bean!! I'm a huge fan of supporting local businesses and small business owners. This little drive thru was a treat this rainy morning. We drove through for lattes after eating breakfast across the way! We were treated by a very friendly face and warm cheerful barista staff. They were so kind and had great customer service. We paid and received our coffees which were excellent! My latte was smooth and didn't taste like over roasted beans. They had coconut milk as a dairy alternative and the cup size offerings were perfect! I'll definitely return!!! read more

The Human Bean - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Reno, Nevada

This is my all time favorite coffee shop in Reno! So good!!! Drinks: the Human Bean has a variety of hot and cold beverages. I love the Bob Marley which is a hot mocha with a shot of banana. I tried the vanilla granita for the first time and fell in love! It's a frosty iced coffee. Both are so good you don't need to add sugar for taste. They also serve drinks with a chocolate covered coffee bean. Cool twist to their products. Oh! And they have a secret menu. You can ask to see it but as a warning, it's a long, overwhelming list or you can try it slowly by ordering their specials. Price: decent price considering the quality of coffee you get. Definitely worth its value. Customer service: great! Everyone I've encountered is super friendly and a hard worker. I typically order my coffee by standing at the window rather than use the drive by window and I see the baristas hustle making coffee because it can get busy. Location: there's a bunch around town typically near a major intersection which makes it easy to grab a quick cup of coffee on your way to work or to a store. Overall, I high recommend the Human Bean. You'll get great coffee for a good price with excellent service! read more

The Human Bean - Vanilla granita - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Reno, Nevada

This location is definitely the busier of the two locations in Reno, but I like that it is close to a few of my favorite food joints in town, and not too far from all the popular shops/businesses on South Virginia St. Especially in times like these, I am super thankful that The Human Bean is a drive-thru coffee shop! The staff are always friendly when I pull up to order, and the service is usually quite fast. I like the fact that they use sip lids and sell reusable straws, too, to help reduce plastic use. They even have a convenient way of paying through their own app to encourage "touch-less transactions"--simple layout, easy to use, and you can earn extra rewards on Wednesday's or by referring friends to use the app! For their coffee, I do think that their espresso drinks have a stronger caffeine flavor, compared to the more common chains like Starbucks or Dutch Bros. They also have smoothies, teas, Italian sodas, and rotating specialty drinks, all that can be topped with a yummy chocolate covered espresso bean! Definitely check them out and support local! read more

This is on par with any chain coffee spot. The staff very nice and I enjoy a coffee from here once a week or so. One time they forgot to add the shot to my latte when busy though. I of course had driven off before I noticed so I called and got my redo the next day. read more

New to the area and keep driving by so this week I've stopped before working 2 mornings in a row. First of all the customer service is superior to any other coffee place or breakfast restaurant nearby. Then you get help deciding what to order which helps immensely! Yesterday's breakfast bagel was perfect as well as the snowy hot mocha! Better than a certain other popular coffee place. This morning I arrived later and there was a line but it took hardly any time to get through it. A gal came out and went up to each car and took orders without writing it down or anything and she remembered! I could not do that! Impressed so far and may pick up coffee regularly since it is near my work read more

The coffee tasted great, and the service was even better. I'm so glad for high quality alternatives to Starbucks.

I love love love this location every one here is so friendly since we have been coming here for a couple of years now they know us and are 2 German Shepherds. They know our order and treat is like family Best customer service in all of Reno. We love starting our day with Human Bean and will continue to be 100% loyal customers, thanks for all the wonderful service read more

The Human Bean - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Lattes and anything sweet with a hint of coffee is my husband's fave kind of coffee. Not to mention they top it off with a white chocolate covered coffee bean. Literally! They put a coffee bean on the lid with you drink. It's probably MY fav part. They're a small little coffee kiosk that you can drive through, but they're fast. When I'm by one, it's surely a must to stop and grab a drink here. Their coffee hits the spot. read more

So lemme talk about the lovely ladies at the Longley Human Bean. I come there once or twice a day 4-6 days a week but I always stop before work. These ladies not only got to know my name (and I got to know theirs) they got to know my car. I would pull up and my coffee is ready. And if I pull up the already know what I like and I never have to say a word. It's hard to find a place who will give you such specialized service and cares about you as a person. Every time I meet a new employee I introduce myself ask their names. For an essential worker like me, these ladies were essential for keeping me going! Longley is the store to go to! read more

The Human Bean - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Reno, Nevada

3.5 stars for the coffee, but 4 stars for the convenience, awesome staff, and being an alternative to Starbucks. The Human Bean is a little drive-thru coffee shop offering all your basic customizable coffee, tea, and steamer needs. They also have little sammies and yummy shakes and smoothies, as well as a happy hour with 50% off drinks (I think it's 11:00-1:00, but don't quote me on that). The gals here are so nice, and I love the candied espresso bean they give you with your drink. Because they have a drive-thru on both sides of the shop, they're able to work through their busy lines pretty quickly. The drinks are a little sweet and weak imho, but they're tasty and I like coming here. I do wish they had a veggie sammie, though. I wouldn't go out of my way to visit the Human Bean, but if you live or work in South Reno, it's a good little coffee shop to frequent. read more

I have only ordered one thing from this place and it is the frozen hot chocolate and MAN... is it good! It is the perfect blend of chocolatey goodness and that sweet velvet texture. I will have to try their other drinks next time and see how they match up as well and provide an update. The service there is usually very fast and the baristas are very friendly and I really like that they give you a chocolate covered coffee bean with your order. Don't forget about happy hour: 5-7 PM are $2 16 oz. drink! HOW CAN YOU GO WRONG! Till we meet again, my precious human bean! read more
