The delicious Coffee and Cimamon Apple bagel were fantastic. And what a perfect location with a drive-thru close to the park.

Quality/Quantity - Easy in and out. Walk up window, so I can take my Yelp pictures. Drive thru is also available. Fairly extensive and interesting menu; see my pictures, and better yet, see their website. My daughter was interested in the energy drinks. Atmosphere - Small format, walk up window and drive thru. Open 7 days a week from 6am to 7pm. Service - Good, quick. Price - $9 ish, I find it interesting that you do not have prices on your menu; see pictures. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 1998 with your 180+ locations and your franchise model since 2002. read more

We loved the name of this chain - it caught our eye from the freeway. Unfortunately the coffee was too sweet and nothing special. Perhaps we didn't try the right beverage order. It was a cute little drive through and walk up. Service was good. We will try again with a different order! read more

The Human Bean - Cute walk up window and drive thru option. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Templeton, California

Fast service ordered and had 2 drinks made and paid in about 2 minutes! Barista was very friendly and had great recommendations! Love the poolside! Even though I'm a coffee girl I am getting that next time! read more

The Human Bean - The poolside taste so amazing! And the cold brew with coconut cold foam is just the right amount of bitter and sweet combined! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Templeton, California

this is a great coffee shop love their coffee. Breakfast burritos are awesome. Great people go give them a try. Good pricing also.

Yummy coffee drinks. Cute name. More options than other chain coffee place. I will go again.

My husband gets an Expresso almost daily along with other little pastries etc. He said whoever does the hiring does an excellent job. The staff who work there are always friendly, upbeat, and positive. He really enjoys going to this location. They are efficient and do a great job. read more

The frozen hot chocolate was delicious. The service was excellent and seemed very willing.

Get the Bacon Gouda Breakfast sandwich, I promise you won't be disappointed and any of their energy drinks are amazing! Sometimes the wait can be a little bit long but it's not bad and well worth it. read more

While I've only had great experiences at this drive-thru as a customer, I wanted to review Human Bean's applicant process. The Las Tablas store's management was wonderful, reaching out to me shortly after my application, and the interview felt warm and professional. I couldn't wait to work alongside the two individuals with whom I'd spoken. I was told I should expect to hear from their owner/off-site-management after a *month*. After two, I reached out via email. This was ignored as well. I applied to this location specifically because I lost the use of my vehicle and needed work within cycling distance of my home. Being led on this way after a great interview was cruel, and made me feel disposable to not even receive word back during a time of need. This is an inexcusable way to treat your prospective staff. Do better HB owners/senior management. read more

Awful watery coffee, keep driving. Coffee was barely warm and tasted like watered down like warm milk.

Two blocks from the airbnb I rented for the weekend and this place delivered. The workers are so sweet and they had so many options! I loved my drink and the chai my friend got was good! They have a walk up window and drive thru ! Nice coffee spot for this town. read more

We ordered a latte with extra shot! It was just perfect. Barista also added a chocolate covered coffee bean. It was delicious! Pleasant service. Definitely stopping by next trip. read more

I've visited this location a few times and overall it's been a great experience. The baristas are upbeat, welcoming, and help with navigating the menu. They usually get my bright energy drink orders perfect and toast the bagel sandwiches to perfection but there was a bit of a fluke this past weekend where my order was completely wrong. I noticed there were a few baristas on shift around 7:30/8AM and the line was building up so I'm not sure if this past Saturday was a training day or an off day. I'll still go back and give them another try. read more

I was surprised to find this hidden gem right off the freeway. I love this coffee, I first found Human Bean in Atascadero, and every time I get a chance I'll stop by and grab a coffee even if it is 90 degrees. As for this location in Templeton, we'll I love it. The batista associate was great and patient with me, can't wait to drive by again. read more

Weird name, great coffee. I made a first time stop after a TJ's run without super high expectations. After an Starbuck's fiasco earlier in the week I made a pact with myself to try and support as many local businesses as possible. Cute little drive thru. I got a basic black coffee. The nice girl at the window gave me an unexpected little chocolate coffee bean. Divine! Great coffee, reasonable price. I'll definitely hit them up again. read more

Great smoothies. Yummy coffee. They even took care of my co-pilot my dog Dottie. She enjoyed her little treat also. Felt like being served at home. read more

Super kind workers! The snowy mocha did not disappoint. We loved the signature touch of a chocolate espresso bean. It's all a drive thru so it's great if you want to pick up something quick! read more

I love the human bean and am a frequent customer of the Templeton location and as I see it today it will continue that way for a long time. The team is wonderfuI! That said I do have a request. I feel that every time I get food from here the food is completely nuked, to the point I can't even touch it for 15 mins. Because of this the sandwiches and biscuits fall apart a lot. I would really appreciate if you could consider heating up the food to a lesser degree so it is easier to eat. Otherwise, thank you for a great quick stop location! read more

Cute drive thru coffee shop. The branding, menu, and style of the shop had some thought put into it. The tri tip breakfast burrito is amazing. Clean parking lot and convenient stop off the 101. Will come here again instead of Starbucks when passing though! read more

I've had hundreds of oat milk lattes. This place had the Best oak milk latte that I have ever had. Impressive! Small little place with a drive thru and pick-up counter, no inside seating that I could see, smily baristas. read more

Genevieve was so friendly. She explained the add-ons and made suggestions that ended up being delicious! Tons of milk alternatives as well if you need them. read more

At window waiting for service no one in drive through. Then 3 cars pulled up she took their order didn't even acknowledge me at the window even she saw me. First time going here and last time. A long term resident here. Drive by and don't bother. Go to coffee shop in parking lot of Trader's Joes. read more

Excellent service and coffee. I will definitely be back. Ordered the Mexi Mocha. I need another one!

this place is usually great, but unfortunately I cannot go here anymore.....I am not sure what it is but twice now both my coffee and food have had a chemical taste to them, like cleaning product or something was not fully removed before reusing the items that are used in making the food and coffee...sour, bitter, and just not right ..I'm so disappointed :( but it was quite unsettling after it happening on two separate occasions. the service has always been great. read more

Great customer service. Very polite. And great tasting lumberjacks. And one was wearing a grunt style sweater. Love seeing patriotism! Tip for you! Lol. And of course a dog treat for gunner. read more

The service is always amazing! They are always so nice and some of the girls have even remembered the size I always get for my drinks. The drive thru is always quick and easy too! read more

Love Human Bean! Their smoothies with the protein scoop are so delicious! They honestly taste like a milkshake. The workers are always super sweet as well. read more

Ok,true, second review for The Human Bean. I bought a pound of their coffee beans. $12 lb compared to $11 for 3 lbs of Costco beans. I could barely drink their coffee full strength but it's fantastic at my strength. It causes Absolutely no acid reflux. My only disappointment is that they're not actually local. The package says Medford, Or. Their coffee is the best I've ever had. read more

My favorite beverage is a matcha latte. I really like the human bean drive through. They are super friendly and beverages are good. My only reason for a 4 star rating is the matcha comes presweetened and is way too sweet. They should make it unsweetened so diabetics and those who don't do sugar could order a matcha latte and do their own thing with stevia or honey or whatever. I hope they will consider removing the sugar from their matcha even though their powder comes that way. Peet's coffee I. The Bay Area has unsweetened matcha which is great. read more

I have given this place numerous chances, but every drink I have ordered either tastes like water or plain milk. How can a coffee shop seem to always be missing the coffee in their drinks? I have even asked for extra espresso shots, and even though I pay for it I definitely don't taste it. I wanted to like this place so much due to its convenient location, but until they are able to make a coffee drink that actually taste like coffee I won't be coming back. read more

Fun and fast drive thru coffee in Templeton! I was pleasantly surprised by the tastiness of my iced latte with blackberry flavor. I ordered it less sweet, because I don't like drinks to be overly sweet and syrupy, but the berry flavor was subtle and natural, and I think I could have ordered it regular and enjoyed it. Service for the four drinks we ordered from our car was fast, friendly, and accurate. They also put a chocolate covered espresso bean on top of each drink lid, if you want one- I thought that was a fun and unique touch, and it was tasty! It's located near a very cute Trader Joe's with a bridge next to it over a wooded area, so although it's a drive thru, the area right next to it is great for a stroll. I was just a visitor in town, but I'd be a regular if I were a local! read more

3 stars only because the cups you are using for hot coffee suck. Cannot retain its shape and collapses. Just spilled coffee on myself for this reason. Use better cups please read more

Five dollars for a 20 ounce plain iced tea is insane. Also... No matter how I order my iced espresso or tea... There's never enough ice...most staff is nice but not all. read more

I'll start with the bad and end with the good. The coffee itself was not amazing. Maybe it was a new barista or I ordered the wrong item. Nevertheless, neither of the two drinks I ordered were impressive. Tasted like coffee flavored milk, when it should be the other way around. The upshot? The service was fast, friendly, and courteous. Improve the overall flavor of the coffee and I'll come back and update the review to five stars. read more

Amazing Matcha Latte!!! Perfectly sweet and balanced drink and nice staff. I had a great experience

It's unfortunate that it came to this that today when I was nearby and my wife came back with a little bean hot chocolate, she sat down next to me and before she took a sip, got a wif of cigarettes around the cup. I came back to the place with the cup and explained why I gave them an option of a new one made or a refund, and they chose to make a new one. The second one that was "newly" made was, as I was told, not completely full because it wasn't 8oz, but in a different cup. The second cup fell and was clearly less weighty than the first. Lost business and will continue to with others of reviews like this until this stops. And the previous time before this when I came back to get a frozen Java Chip drink from the human being here in templeton, which I believe was a 20 oz or so, I'm handed that drink and it looked like it was a white Oreo milkshake and not the Java Chip Frozen drink that is presented as being an option to order. That time was over 2 months ago. read more

We came for the first time over Labor Day weekend looking for a drive through so we didn't have to suffer in the heat. We ordered 2 iced lattes with an add shot and unfortunately they were horrible. Guy working was very young and seemed annoyed with us- could have been the heat. The lattes came out looking and tasting like pure white milk. I asked if he maybe forgot the espresso and he said nope that's just how they come. We asked for it to be remade and he said he could but it would be the exact same. We left and had to toss them. I won't be back. read more

How to make a really bad cup of coffee and some how sell it for $4.00 My previous trips to another Human Bean had all been good so when I came across this one, I pulled straight in. The medium cup of coffee was the thinnest I have ever seen from a "real" coffee house. Seriously this coffee was as weak and watered down as the stuff they sell at the local Arco station. This franchise owner is cutting way back on the amount of beans that are being used and it really shows. It sure seems like the Human Bean parent company would want to know about this or has the entire company gone into major cutback mode??!! My advice-go elsewhere and if you like thin watered down coffee, go to a convenience store where you can probably get 4 cups for the price of one from Human Bean read more

The Human Bean was the only establishment we frequented three times during our trip to Atascadero/Paso Robles/SLO. Every time we went to their drive-thru, they offered our pup a free cookie and whipped cream. We love businesses that treat our boy like a valued customer! The employees are super friendly. They have lots of sugar-free flavor options. A+++ read more
