    Their breakfast "burrito"

    I normally don't waste my time, leaving reviews, but I don't think I've ever put anything so disgusting in my mouth. I wanted coffee and breakfast, I usually order from Starbucks, but I wanted to change it up. I ordered a pumpkin latte and a breakfast burrito from this place. The pumpkin hardly had any taste, and it had a horrifically chemical aftertaste. The burrito was so bad I had to spit it out, everything tasted old and weird. Do not go here.

    I stopped by this coffee drive-through for the first time because it was on the right side of the street and on the way to where I was going. But I was impressed and will definitely return. One selling point was the lack of a line at the drive-through. This may be because they have two drive-through lanes--one on both sides of the building. The staff was friendly. They offered to answer questions about the drinks and were ultimately happy to make something close to the drink I usually get somewhere else (though the standard offerings looked tempting too). The drinks come with a cute coffee bean on top, which was a nice touch. All in all, I appreciate this as a fast, friendly morning place to stop!

    Pumpkin Mocha

    It's bean a long hot summer and I'm always on the lookout for drive thru drink places so on this particular warm day I figured let's get something cool today! I was intrigued by the pumpkin mocha so I tried the medium size, iced. The drinks come with a chocolate covered coffee bean which is a nice little perk from ordering with them. The mocha was good. I could taste both the chocolate and pumpkin spice flavors, with more of the pumpkin spice showing through in the drink. It was cool and refreshing. It hit the spot! With a double drive thru for even more ease of ordering I'll be back for more drinks!

    Double Expresso!!!

    The BEST COFFEE SPOT! The Servers are SUPER DUPER NICE and it's is less expensive than the Green Mermaid. It is only drive thru with a small patio, but that's ok.

    What they advertise

    Disappointed to say the least. I ordered a Snowy Mocha and this is what was advertised vs what I got. And this coffee drink was $7.65!!! What a joke. Take your money elsewhere. It was not like the picture and it's waaaay overpriced.

    Blueberry Pomegranate smoothie

    I really liked the HB on N. 16th st. in Phoenix and was excited to try this one in NE Tempe. Service was great by Baristas Kayla & Bella. I ordered the Blueberry Pomegranate smoothie which was the best I ever had. This is a world class smoothie chain.

    This is my favorite coffee stop! I'm here sometimes several times a week. The baristas know how I like the coffee and it never disappoints! So friendly, fast, and creative. I also love the variety of flavors, especially the sugar free variety. They really have something for everyone. The alternative milk selection is also really incredible. There are several locations across the state so it's easy enough to come across one. You won't regret grabbing your coffee here! Also, the kids drinks and pup cups are super great as well. Something for everyone here.

    Frozen Sugar Mama Without the whip

    I've come to this coffee shop a number of times and have generally gotten the same thing. This time I decided to try something different. I chose the sugar mama without whip. It was a good choice! The service was fast and friendly. The ambience of my car was perfect to cruise down the highway listening to music and enjoy my cold drink. After all, I'm in Mesa, Arizona.

    Oat milk Latte
    Alexis C.

    Hello! This afternoon was my first time going to The Human Bean for coffee. I am always a Black Rock kind of girl , I always get a small oat milk latte, which is exactly what i got today at the human bean. As stated I ordered a small and it was my first time time here so maybe this is just how they do it, but when i went to take my first sip the cup felt very light. i was confused because i knew i did not order a cappuccino. So I take the lid off to see the coffee is only 3/4 full? I worked in coffee for 2.5 years; I know you do not fill hot coffee up to the rim, but there was almost 1/3 missing. The coffee itself wasn't bad, the service was good and the white chocolate covered espresso bean are the reasons i still gave 3 stars. Was very disappointed and probably will not go back.

I had their regular cold brew with a splash of cream and a Sunrise Sandwich- both were so good! The cold brew had a lovely aftertaste that in my opinion, reminded me of dark chocolate and whiskey. Service was also fantastic- the lovely barista was thorough in her explanations of each cold coffee option to help me find what I was looking for! My sandwich was also lovely- the Sunrise Sandwich on an Everything Bagel is easily my favorite breakfast sandwich in Tempe. The Basil Pesto adds a bit of freshness to an otherwise very rich sandwich. Also stopped in a few more times on my evening walks for a Lavender Haze (seasonal earl grey sage honey drink: EXCELLENT!) and their seasonal energy drink- it was a Sunset Spritz (energy with grapefruit pink cordial): both delicious. Happy to say service has improved greatly. Employees are on task and happy to answer my questions. The drinks on the seasonal menu are very good, and their classics are also great. If you're going to go soon, I'm a big fan of the Sage honey and a big fan of the cordial syrup on the 2026 Spring Menu. Will definitely be hitting Infusion up for some future study sessions.

Nomad Boba is a cozy Vietnamese inspired boba shop with cute honeycomb and bee style decor. There is seating inside on some couches. I would say it's best served for smaller groups of 2-3 people if they're not busy. The owner has always been pleasant, and it's usually just him running the shop, so you may have to wait a tiny bit to place your order if he's making drinks. Nomad Boba definitely leans on the sweeter side for boba shops. I'm typically a 25% sugar level kind of boba drinker, but I have consistently found Nomad Boba way too sweet for me even at 25% sugar level. I'm also not the biggest fan of their matcha blends. For drinks, I would highly recommend their Thai teas. They offer different blends of Thai teas! It's up there for one of the better Thai teas I've had in Arizona so far. What's interesting is that their Thai tea is a little smoky. I love it for that intrigue. Nomad Boba is a little difficult to find in the Culdesac if you're not looking for it. You have to walk toward street side to find it. They offer some fun drinks that other boba shops don't, so it's definitely worth checking out at least once.

The flavor combination was fantastic and very well balanced. The boba itself was a nice texture and it was FRESH. Everyone in my party really enjoyed their drinks. I will be back for sure.
