    We hadn't heard of Human Bean before and didn't realize it was a small drive-thru kiosk (we expected a storefront). We had specifically driven to this area to try this new (to us) coffee, so we decided to give it a go - even though we wanted to go inside somewhere to sit down, enjoy our coffee, and chat a bit. We found our beverages to be overly sweet (even worse than Starbucks, which is usually pretty sweet). It was an interesting stop, but we didn't visit any others we came across during our trip.

    Iced Cold Brew Coffee

    Overall enjoyed the coffee and the chocolate covered espresso bean that came with it. Service was pretty slow, unfortunately waited about 15 minutes for just a couple cars in front of me - but not sure how much they ordered. My cold brew took about 1 minute in total - so that was nice. Server was very friendly and apologized for the wait. Coffee was good - no ambiance to callout as was a drive through so my music was what I wanted and air conditioning was on! 4 stars for coffee taste and chocolate, 2 stars for wait (did not want to pull them down due to being busy).

    The service was good, I'm not a huge fan of my drink selection. I got the smash melon it honestly taste like a Red Bull.

    We used to come to this kiosk every so often, but haven't been by in a long time. We found ourselves in the area & were craving a cold treat to sip. We surveyed the menu that didn't have any visible pricing. We were able to use a Yelp check in offer to get $1 off. Our drinks were good & enjoyable. Little one liked her frozen hot chocolate. I liked how the iced mocha wasn't very sweet, and that the flavor of espresso wasn't overpowered by the chocolate. The Mexican mocha basically tasted like a mocha with cinnamon versus having a more unique flavor profile. I've always appreciated the complimentary chocolate covered espresso bean! I remember such congenial customer service in the past, but unfortunately it was just a very mundane, straightforward transaction with no added friendliness or banter as we waited.

    I'm so glad I found this hidden gem. It's one of my go to coffee shops and I love how it's only a drive through. Their service is super fast and they have a wide variety of drinks on their main menu as well as seasonal drinks. I love getting their Java Chip Granita which isn't overly sweet and the Java chips blended make the texture perfect. All of their drinks come with a chocolate covered espresso bean which I always look forward to eating. It's a small drive through so the ambiance is for quick, on the go drinks! I also tried their hot Toffee Crunch latte and its so creamy and delicious.

    Great coffee and exceptional staff! They really know how to turn a rough day around! So genuinely friendly and kind plus they make great drinks! Even just an Americano was great! Never bitter or stale. It always tastes fresh. I love that they have a variety of plant milks including macadamia nut milk which really makes it nice and creamy! The flavored iced coffee had on my Birthday was perfectly sweetened. Not overly syrupy or chemical aftertaste. Even a perfect drizzle! I've never had a bad experience there before and that's SO rare! Thanks to all of you at the Rocklin location! You're awesome!!!

    Blueberry Pomegranate Smoothie
    Savannah R.

    I stopped by The Human Bean for the first time on Sunday, 6/4/23, around 4 PM. I checked in on Yelp and got a $1 off coupon to use. That was nice. On a hot day, I settled for the Blueberry Pomegranate smoothie with whipped cream. The smoothie was refreshing, fruity, and flavorful. I was satisfied. I am excited to come back and try more drinks!

    I have to say that this was quite a treat. They were just off Highway 12 as you come in into Rio Vista and heading east I did have to cross the highway and have to wait for a few vehicles but they have a drive up window that goes on both sides, so it has a long driveway to get there and I can imagine quite the back up as the morning progresses, but it was quite delightful in my interaction with a lovely lady who took my order and she filled my ceramic coffee cup that I brought even from Starbucks, but just delightful in their pricing for their coffee and their breakfast sandwich and the 4 1/2 star rating on Google that I saw is equal Trustworthy and thus I feel they did everything right the breakfast sandwich was great not huge but just what I needed and I'm looking at a glorious sunrise so highly recommend Skip the Starbucks wait the extra 20 minutes from so soon or Fairfield it's worth it.

    White mocha with marshmallow syrup and maybe something else... SOOOO GOOOD. the staff was amazing and sweet too. I asked to make whatever she likes since it was my first time and she didn't disappoint. Super good high quality coffee.. not overly sweet just right.

Also, not as strong caffeine wise. The service itself was fine. I do agree with the other reviews about the staffs attitude. The girl who took my order was kind and made our pup cup from scratch but as a whole, it feels like they took the girls who worked at Brandy Melville and placed them here instead.

I'll be honest, the Ethiopian I started with wasn't really showing how I expected. It felt a little muted and flat to me. But here's where it flipped, he actually checked back in, asked what I thought, and instead of brushing it off, he was like "yeah... you're right." That alone tells you a lot. He pivoted and brewed up a Mexican that absolutely slapped. Clean, expressive, way more dialed. From there we just geeked out for a bit talking single origins, roasting approaches, equipment, all of it. That level of awareness and willingness to adjust in real time is rare, and it's what makes a place worth coming back to. I'm really interested to see how he continues to shape the program here.

I was honestly so excited to go to this place. This coffee bar is actually quite hidden, as they are located right behind the Village General Store on Vernon. There's quite a bit of parking when the storefront is closed, so you wouldn't even expect a wait at all. They have such a spacious patio as well (if you want to sit down and have a good time chatting it up with your other friends), and such big space to wait if you don't want the patio. I got one of their oatmeal cookies as well as their Matcha lattes. What I didn't know was that their oatmeal cookies were gluten free, and they were sourced and made locally by artisans here in Roseville. They also used quite premium-grade matcha that made it taste really good with the whole milk they mixed in eventually. The ambiance and the hospitality was one of the best out there, and I can't wait to be back the next time I'm in Sacramento!
