Iced matcha latte
Christine B.

I came here around 3 PM to get some work done and ordered the iced matcha latte. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating, and when I arrived, almost every table was occupied by people studying or working. There are also plenty of outlets available for charging devices as well as WiFi. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this café as a spot for studying or getting work done.

Came here for an iced vanilla latte and it was not bad. Simple cafe in Woodbridge that's not very busy and what you see is what you get, a no frills type situation. Nothing to knock your socks off though. I would come here again if im in the area and really need a caffeine fix.

Oat milk latte
Cindy S.

Service was on par with expectations. Drinks were good and seating was plentiful. It was a busy weekend day but was able to find an outdoor spot to relax, have some joe, people watch, and get some work done. All in all a good experience.

green goddess juice

came here again post run and had the best green goddess juice! I really love that this cafe doesn't make their drinks too sweet. my friend got a matcha latte, and asked for a little syrup after she got it because she was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't automatically super sweet.

Avocado Toast

Today was my first time going to the Lost Bean at Woodbridge Hills. Coming from the street, I was initially a bit confused at where the cafe even was, as it is tucked inside the shopping center, but I was pleasantly surprised when I found it. Upon entering, I saw both outdoor and indoor seating. The benches all had plenty of outlets underneath them, while the high top and other two person tables mostly were empty. I ordered an iced matcha latte and the avocado toast, and they both came out prompty and were delicious! The matcha flavor was strong and the tomatoes on the toast were my favorite part. The music inside is a little on the louder side, but with free fast wifi, easy parking, and free outlets, this place is good to study at if you can tolerate some noise.

Looked up a local spot near a walk over the weekend and Lost bean was near our location. Pleasantly surprised at the taste of my zebra latte so yummy. Cute decor and ambiance. service was welcoming and friendly

Iced latte
Krystal R M.

Cute shop in the middle of the outdoor mall. There is some seating inside to study or meet with friends, I would preface that with most tables are two seaters. Outside, there are other tables as well, some that fit more than 2. If you are going to study, only the inside has plugs that I have seen. There is a restroom for customers, yay. It's not a third wave coffee shop, but they do have a decent selection of drinks and snacks!

I like The Lost Bean and this location at Woodbridge is great given the exceptional outside seating area available. The store is smaller but they offer a pastry and quiche case and a lunch and breakfast menu. Coffee always hits the spot for me. Easy parking. Please come and create your own adventure.

Matcha latte with almond milk
Lauren D.

I like this little coffee shop. It's located in the Woodbridge Village Center so it's a convenient location, with access to other amenities and the bike/walking trails. I ordered an iced unsweetened matcha latte with almond milk, and it was great! I like that their matcha powder does not contain sweetener so that you're able to adjust the sweetness level to just what you'd like. They also offer some simple breakfast foods, such as quiches and pastries, if you need a quick bite.

Unsweetened is the best
Brenda L.

This place is great but usually very busy. Today was my lucky day, it wasn't crowded at all, and my drink was ready in under five minutes! Parking is plentiful in this plaza. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating. Inside, you'll find booth-style seating or wooden chairs, just a heads-up that the chairs aren't the most comfortable if you plan to stay and work for a while. Definitely wheelchair and stroller friendly. The outdoor area is lovely but located right next to a children's play area. On nice mornings, you can expect lots of kids playing nearby. It's not the quietest spot, so it's perfect if you're coming to catch up with friends rather than get focused work done. Inside is spacious, and their Wi-Fi is strong. Definitely bring headphones if you're planning to work here. The drinks are excellent. I've had their hot lavender latte before and loved it, but this time I tried their iced matcha with unsweetened almond milk, and it was perfect, highly recommend it! They also offer food options if you plan to stay for a while. The staff is super friendly, and there are two clean, gender-neutral restrooms available. Overall, I definitely recommend this spot, just hope you get lucky like I did and beat the usual crowd!

Strawberry Matcha, and (I forgot the other one)
Aurea J.

It's not the best place to get a drink tbh. I've been to many different coffee shops, and I don't think I'll be coming back to this specific location for a drink. I'm sure in other places it might taste better. But I do want to try their food items since I've heard they're yummy. I just think that the service was a bit slow which I understand because of how crowded it gets. The drinks, I could've saved my money on. I couldn't taste the strawberry much and it was more or less on a bitter-but-no-taste matcha. It was watered down? Idk how to describe it tbh but I've had better. There's seating inside and out, but it's packed.

Ekaterina B.

Very tasty! Cozy and clean interior, not noisy -- a perfect place to relax and enjoy your time. Drinks are well balanced and flavorful. Definitely worth a visit.

pumpkin chai
Amanda Z.

I visited the lost bean on a Saturday afternoon. There were plenty of parking spots in the lot & there wasn't too many people there when we arrived. I ordered the pumpkin chai & really liked the music they were playing while I was there. They had a nice variety of food & drink options, & I'd definitely visit again to study.

The monkey latte is my favorite, with a twist of banana and espresso flavor. Their brioche bun breakfast sandwiches are delicious.

The cashier was super patient while I looked through the menu, but there also wasn't a line that early yet. I got the banana matcha, which isn't something I usually get, but I liked it a lot! The banana cream taste definitely stood out. I would definitely come back again, but I would want to make sure my devices were charged first.

Tried this spot after seeing it all over TikTok, and overall it was decent but a little overhyped…read more The matcha itself was underwhelming. the flavor tasted pretty light and lacked that rich, earthy matcha taste I was hoping for. The cream top definitely carried the drink though; it was smooth, creamy, and honestly the best part. The baked goods were the real highlight for me. I got the banana bread and almond croissant, and both were SO good. Everything tasted fresh and buttery, and I love that they can warm them up for you if you're eating there. I saved mine for later and they still held up really well. Not sure if I'd come back specifically for the matcha, but I'd probably try their coffee next time since that seemed to be what most people were ordering. Cute spot and good pastries, but the viral hype set my expectations a little too high

On this visit, I had the caramel banana latte, which had a very nice flavor and was not too sweet. The only complaint (and I'm not docking points here), is that the bathroom is not within the cafe, and you have to get a key card from the staff in order to use the restroom (can be difficult if there is a long line to order).

This is an ok coffee shop... 5-Stars for atmosphere & 3-Stars for drinks. That gives it 4-Stars…read moreover all. There is lots of seating inside and out with spaces for working/studying more inside and relaxing outside. Its also a great place if you want to take some nice IG photos. The staff is friendly and make drinks quickly. But the coffee drinks themselves are just ok. We both had Cortados this time and they were a little tasteless and too hot. Drinkable but not worth coming back for. Last time I came in alone and had a Flat White that was terrible and I dumped it out. I did not have time to ask for another but I'm sure they would have remade it. Wall Writers is located in an office complex but in a good way. There is plenty of free parking and in the afternoon and on Saturdays you can park right at the entrance. The restroom is located in a separate building across the courtyard and watching people search for it can be mildly entertaining LOL It is a nice place to work with plenty of natural light and a wonderful patio for enjoying nice weather. I just wish the drinks were a little better. But because of the convenient location I will probably try it again. Maybe Ill try something iced?

The latte was a little sweet but not overwhelming. I normally don't finish my coffee drinks but this one I did. I also got coffee beans. Can't wait to try them! The baristas was very friendly.

I took two sips, put it aside while I finished my bagel, then brought it back to request a swap. The two female baristas ignored me as I approached, kept their eyes down, and continued their own conversation. When I finally got their attention, I explained the situation. The blonde with curly hair acknowledged that yes, the drink was very sweet - then told me they would fix it "next time" I came in. I was shocked because I was standing in front of her with a full cup I couldn't drink! The brunette with straight hair said nothing and offered no help throughout the entire exchange. When I made it clear I wanted it done now, not on some future visit, she told me they couldn't swap it because I'd "had it too long." Now I am shocked again! The cup was basically full as I only had the two sips. Only after I stood my ground did she reluctantly offer to ask a manager. The redhead manager was a complete 180. She handled it immediately, made a new matcha drink without sugar (way better but not a good matcha drink in general) and was genuinely pleasant, resolving it without hesitation or attitude. In an era where customer experience is everything, treating a paying customer in such a poor way is fast way to lose business. The staff must be trained better, or put them somewhere they are not customer-facing. I won't be back.
