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! read more

Customer service sucks, asked to scan my rewards and she said "you have to do that before you pay" so I asked how come they don't ask and her response "cuz most people don't have the app" like girl please. This is second time this has happened. I asked if I can get a receipt to upload for points and she said "no, we don't do that" If you want people to use the app that should be asked and suggested to help promote. This is bad marketing because they seem to not be able to figure how to promote or ask their customers something THEY OFFER. I didn't even want to use my free drink reward, would just like credit towards my $8 coffee. This location absolutely sucks. The espresso bean is the only reason to even go to this establishment and the ONLY reason they didn't get 1 star. Save yourself the money spent there and go to another coffee shop. The iced shaken butter began taste like just straight up espresso, no flavor, no sweetness. More bitter than me after they wouldn't care to help a customer. See photo for a joke of advertisement, don't even get the app. read more

Similarly to another reviewer I usually don't leave reviews unless something is extremely off. I got the burrito and it was horrid. It was both so hard I could barely bite in on one side and mush on the other. The inside tasted and looked like slop. I had to throw it away. I also got a cold brew and it tasted chemical. Like they use some sort of premade cold brew instead of just making it. I only am giving two stars because the staff was nice. It clearly wasn't their fault and is very clear whoever owns or manages the business is not making great choices read more

This one was just alright. It was a bit overpriced and didn't taste much like coffee. The whipped cream was so measley and the flavors were minimal offerings. It did the job for a quick pick me up, but don't really have the need to go back. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

Went to this location on 12/4/25 around 5:20pm. Unsure what the young man's name was but he had an attitude while making our drinks. We were unsure what to get and had a couple of questions about drinks and he gave yes and no answers. While making our drinks he kept rolling his eyes at us. I wish our experience was better and your company works on making customers feel welcomed and not a burden. read more

So we're about 12months into work from home status and all of the staff at this The Human Bean have made my daily 'coffee walk' a bright spot in what can be a not-so-pleasant morning during the work week. Kenny and his parents have built up a nice crew of employees that I've come to know, especially in the last few months. It's always nice to be asked "how are you?" and "would you like your usual?" -- the answers of which 75% of the time are "I need to wakeup" and YES. :) If I'm not feeling my usual, they're happy to recommend something else low carb and caffinated. Sometimes the lines are long on both sides (I still don't understand when people pile up on one side when it clearly says you can pull around), sometimes they're not busy - it's an hourly/day by day thing. Because of the staff's friendlness and vast number of combinations you can order, on occassion it can take a little longer, but I know they truly care about us! Pro tip -- if you frequent any/all The Human Bean, download the app and add your credit card so you can touchfree pay and load up on rewards. You get $5 for about every $100 you spend. Shout out to Sophia, Keegan, Raquel, former barista Abby and all the others who put a pep in my step! read more

The Human Bean - Double Expresso!!! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

Used to love this place until I realized they water down the espresso shots and coffee. I gave this place another shot after months of going anywhere else and they failed again. Drinks are too expensive to be acting like this. If an espresso over ice is not strong enough, then it's watered down or they give you just regular iced coffee. I do not recommend this place. read more

Friendly staff Fast service Good drinks Great price Sugar free options I love this place! I was a Dutch Bros kinda guy but this makes a WAAAY better black tea on ice with peach/mango flavoring. It's nice to come to a place that already knows your favorite drink. 100% recommend people to try it. read more

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. read more

I have been a customer here since the day they opened! And why is every other human bean open until 7pm but this one is only open until 6pm. I work nights, so I have started going somewhere else. I love their coffee, but just wish they would stay open til 7pm at this location here too. read more

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. read more

This Human Bean is located in a decent spot. Unfortunately it's fairly busy at this intersection most of the time. that being said, the staff is absolutely the friendliest and best at providing yummy recommendations. They're also quick! Will certainly visit in the future! read more

I love this little drive thru coffee shop in Tempe! They have a drive thru window on both sides of the little building so it's pretty convenient & quick to get coffees in the morning. They have huge sizes (think: 32oz cold brew) and they're all pretty delish! I've found that I have to get things half sweet because they're heavy on the sugar, but the prices are so reasonable & the baristas are always super nice. The iced Americano is great! They even give you a chocolate covered espresso bean per drink you buy... nice little touch :) All in all, avoid Starbucks & check out The Human Bean. You won't be disappointed!! read more

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. read more

I love this place!! The coffee options are plentiful- I love how they have 'seasonal' flavors available year round- and the girls who helped me out were SO kind and just as sweet as the little chocolate-covered espresso bean they put on top of all their drinks :) fast, friendly service, clean and simple appearance, and great coffee. No complaints! read more

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. read more

Came here to get energized before work on a Sunday! They have a double drive thru and I didn't realize you could drive around and go to the other side so I waited behind a car on the right. Neat concept though, plus you can walk up to the window in the middle and order too. The barista was kind and apologized for my wait, as the person ahead of me had ordered multiple drinks. I got the 16oz java chip granita with almond milk, no whip. It was tasty, had the right amount of caffeine and sugar to keep me going. I did need to mix it up since the coffee granules kept sinking to the bottom. Their menu has a wide selection of drinks as well as breakfast burritos and pastries. I like that it's close to ASU but far enough that it's not too busy. I'd come back! read more

The Human Bean - 16oz Java chip granita with almond milk, no whipped cream - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

Great name and location! Love that they have a walk-up counter AND two drive thru lanes (duh, makes so much sense logistically)! They offer SO many flavored syrups which is so nice! Came on a Saturday afternoon and there was no line, probably because it's still so new. I can see this place getting slammed soon! Woman at the drive thru was super friendly and patient with all my questions and she gave some great drink recs. Ended up ordering the blended Granita w a butterscotch flavored shot. There was still a strong coffee flavor which I love and asked for, but the butterscotch shot was sweet and made it simply delicious. I can't wait to try more of their blended drinks, especially with our sunny, hot weather. Love supporting local businesses. Watch out, Dutch Bros - you've got a major contender!! read more

Came around 3pm on their grand opening day and I love this place already. Parked and walked up to the window..everyone was so friendly. I asked a man standing outside what he suggested from the menu and he walked my friend and I through some of the different drinks, popular items and what his favorites were. I ended up ordering the Carmel Apple Smoothie and it is delicious! So flavorful and tastes just like the caramel apple suckers you see around Halloween. My friend got the frozen hot chocolate and she really enjoyed it too. I'm not a coffee drinker but was able to find a bunch of things on the menu that would serve as a delicious pick me up on both hot and cooler days. From smoothies, to chai, to hot chocolate to teas I can't wait to come back and try more flavors. read more

Not great coffee I tried a latte from them and it had nearly 0 foam. They also wouldn't let me pay with $2 bills which I think is a fun way to pay for bland $6 coffee read more

I hate doing these type of reviews but coming from a barista of 5 years I had to write one. I ordered a 16oz iced americano with powdered white chocolate and a splash of oat milk. This has to be probably one of the worst americanos I've ever had. She definitely forgot the white chocolate powder and it tastes like straight water. The customer service was great but please please teach your employees how to make better drinks. read more

Such kind workers who serve exactly what you ask for. I asked for light ice in my iced coffee on two occasions, and they came through. Flavor is awesome as well, for both the muddy and the snowy. read more

Horrible horrible service. The girls don't smile and act like they hate their job, i will not be coming back here again.

Quick drive thru, the barista (is that the right term?) had great recommendations and was really cool. We only tried the infused Rockstars but they were great -- they have a long list of flavor combinations that you can choose from. Very reasonable prices. Also really liked the coffee beans they put on top of the drink -- nice touch! read more

It was okay. I am a fan of Dutch Brothers, but thought I'd stop by & try it. It was okay, I have to say their muffin tops are good, but wasn't a fan of my drink. I got a chai latte with nutmeg & my fiance ordered the whole bean 12 oz coffee. He said his was nice & strong. Also, not the friendliest customer service. Felt like I was rushed. I'd say try it if you don't have any other choice. But Im going to stick to what I know & thats Dutch Brothers! :) I give them an A for effort though. read more

Oh how do I love the Human Bean! Every time I go, I look at the menu and I know I should try something different, but I order the same thing all time, hot or iced it's the same. I go with a salted caramel latte and love it every time!! Also with each other of coffee, its topped off with a chocolate covered coffee bean, so sweet! You can drive thru, there are 2 windows or you can walk up, I really have never had a long of wait. The staff is always friendly, no matter what time of the day, sometimes I am there before 5:30am sometimes before 2pm. They have lots of flavors of coffee and non coffee items to get and the prices are great too! Run, don't walk to the Human Bean and get you some coffee! read more

This place is a definite must try! How have I lived without The Human Bean all these years? First off, there are two drive-thrus (***so no more 15 minute Starbucks lines!!!), and a walk up window as well! The staff was cheerful, patient, and very informative... This is key to me, especially in a coffee shop, and The Human Bean nailed it! I ordered a vanilla granita topped with whipped cream. A granita is basically a blended espresso drink and your choice of flavoring - lots to choose from! I would definitely recommend this drink if it's your first time visiting because the staff mentioned that it's a signature of theirs! If you're looking for something a little lighter, I ordered a latte (w/ almond milk and SF Irish cream flavoring) the second time I came, and it was delicious as well! My favorite part is the chocolate covered espresso bean they top all of their drinks with! It's such an adorable touch! I cannot wait to watch this gem grow, grow, & grow! I'll definitely be back soon because if you can't already tell, I'm obsessed! Thank you THB for a wonderful coffee experience! read more

This place is a breath of fresh air and not just because you can walk up to the window and order. There are so many different coffee shops it's always a battle where to go. This place has great coffee with so many options. I had the vanilla latte (one of my go to's) and it just tasted better than any place I can think of. The chocolate covered cocoa bean on top was a unique bonus as well. The staff was super nice but not overwhelming like other coffee shops in the area which usually turn me off. With 2 drive thru lanes and a walk up window it doesn't take long to order and receive your drink. This is a great little coffee place that is very convenient and tastes great. I totally recommend this to anybody looking for an awesome coffee experience. read more

Expensive $9 But Delicious Java Chip 32 Ounce Goodness! Friendly Service with a smile at this little island shop off the main drag on University west of the 101 freeway a bit. Delicious treats made by friendly people to make your stomach smile, but somehow it is now $9 for a 32 ounce Java Chip Drink! I feel like this was one of my favorite Coffe shops but now I almost never go here since really $9 is ridiculous for a drink. They charge for extra java chips, coconut milk for this of us who don't consume dairy and somehow its nearly $10 for a drink. I still go to the bean occasionally but now maybe 2 times a month instead of 2-3 times a week. Note to businesses, keeping the costs of a drink that takes less than a dollar down makes people happy to frequent your shop, raising prices loses lots more business. It's a bummer because I liked it here. Stop by and get a tasty drink, maybe the Java Chip 32 ounce with coconut milk like me! it satisfies my inner animal and puts me right to sleep! nothing like some coffee before bed to make you even more tired! read more

I am certainly glad there is a coffee shop that is decent and friendly to my wallet, esp when I turn to caffeine majority of the time. LOL. The customer service is pleasant, Alexis and Kenny usually helps me out. They have different sizes in cups so you have plenty of choices to choose from. The prices varies based on what you're getting but still is affordable. The menu is HUGE which includes to not all but teas, coffee, smoothies, Rockstars, sodas, etc. If you're picky with flavors like me, they have a long list of flavors for teas, coffee, smoothies, Rockstars and sodas. What made this place a gem for me was the amount of sugar-free flavors they carried, which was more than I expected. BONUS: *They have two drive through lines and a walk up. There's plenty of parking spaces within the area. *They're still new to the area so there is no "black Friday" lines like Dutch Bros/Starbucks. Yay! read more

I gave the human bean another shot to see if I wanted to keep coming to this location but I won't be returning. I ordered a 32oz and received a 20oz. I told the barista I always have problems at this location due to have new people. She wanted to argue with me. I shut down the conversation because I wasn't looking for an argument but more of a conversation. This location is no longer what it used to be. read more
