Chewy, light and locally sourced, the bagel sandwich, with a perfect crunch from the gold-standard fried egg and crisp bacon, isn't greasy or heavy but still packs incredible flavor. I got it on the everything bagel, and I might add some more cheese if I want it extra gooey next time, but it's probably the proper amount. The iced coffee was lightly iced and I didn't even have to specify (that's my Dunkin' hack, less ice since they love that bartender trick). It wasn't too sweet and the unique house flavors pose some tough counter decisions; the praline was nutty and caramelly, with just the right amount of cinnamon. There's table service when possible, but it can get busy so keeping your head up helps everyone. Jess and Kiersten keep a cozy and easy-to-do-work vibe inside, as the cafe doubled as my office last week. The sensibly relevant wifi password, easily explained, is also a huge flex these days. Whether you wanna settle in, or just stop by for a quick bite, this spot is versatile, open till 2 and offers one of the best breakfast sandwiches around. Well done! read more

The Main Bean is a charming little coffee shop tucked into a beautiful historic building. They serve great coffee and baked goods, with plenty of comfy seating and a fun seasonal menu. I tried the hazelnut praline yesterday and it was absolutely delicious. My kids love exploring the games in the back, and there's plenty around to keep them entertained. Highly recommend stopping in--and don't forget to join their rewards program! read more

Stopped in to The Main Bean in Luzerne and grabbed a quick sandwich. Cute little spot and the women working were super friendly. They had a menu item that intrigued me (The Beast) but I didn't feel like I could handle something that big this morning (plus I hear there may be a surprise bite or two in store on the podcast) so I went with a bacon, egg, and cheese on a Kaiser roll and I added a hash brown on it. The roll is softer than I'm used to but it tasted good. Had a whole wheat or grain type of flavor to it. The woman inside said the bakery they are from but my brain is a place of utter chaos so I forgot already. Egg and bacon were cooked well, I enjoyed the sandwich well enough. I would say as a personal preference I would like the hash brown cooked slightly more and the roll toasted hard, but not everyone likes what I like. $5.80 for the sandwich with the hash brown added. Solid price for this, I'd absolutely get this again (even though next time I think it's me vs. The Beast). Main Bean in Luzerne - Didn't Suck! read more

Just moved here from Texas, my boyfriend brought me here when I said I was craving a bagel! Jessica was so helpful, and she seemed so happy to hear how much I loved the bagel sandwich and coffee when we were done. It was her birthday month so she had a special drink: cookie dough cake batter coffee, right up my alley (as well as a ton of other flavors I'd love to try). On top of everything the atmosphere is just so idyllic, very cozy coffee shop read more

Breakfast bagel sandwich is amazing. It was so light and not a super heavy bagel like other places. The croissants were amazing too. Tiramisu cold brew was everything! Service was fast & friendly as soon as we walked in. This place has such a cozy coffee shop vibe and I can't believe I haven't experienced it sooner! This will definitely be a regular on the rotation. read more

Would have loved to try. My mom wanted a bagel sandwich while Visiting. The lady told me, as I got in there last Friday as the only person ordering, it will be at least 30 minutes. Just had a big phone order. Thought denying service to a person there to wait for a phone in order was special. Dunkin coffee was just fine for me. read more

We stopped here after finding ourselves in Luzerne for the first time. It's absolutely charming, and the folks are so friendly. It's been very minimally renovated from when it was a home, and accordingly, feels very homey. We got breakfast sandwiches-- my egg and cheese on a croissant was great. It's more of a bread-y croissant than a flaky one (it tastes like pillsbury crescents dough, maybe?) but it was great nonetheless. I got an Americano as well, which was good. I love that they have the guide to all the coffee/espresso drinks! Super helpful for non-coffee snobs! Definitely recommend this sweet spot! read more

I love visiting here! Always friendly service, tasty food (homemade too!), and great drinks! My coffee orders have always been perfectly made, no matter what I ordered. I do wish they offered coconut milk as a non-dairy option (they have almond and oat milks), but I'm not going to change my review for that. The Main Bean is a causal place with varied seating options, and there are puzzles, games, etc. to keep the customers occupied. I don't always order food, but when I do, it is always fresh and tasty. I brought guests with me during my two most recent visits, and they both raved over the egg sandwiches! The Main Bean is on the edge of a walkable downtown area in Luzerne, PA, and I will continue to patronize them and enjoy their coffee and tea! read more

Excellent 1pm stop after an XC meet at Misercirdia on the way home. Coffee was really good, and breakfast sandwiches on croissant and bagels were really good. Really friendly owners and staff, and homemade baked good (cinnamon- apple cake) was fantastic. On my radar if I ever swing through Luzurne again! read more

Cute cozy spot with delish coffee, breakfast sandwiches and kind caring service. The bagels are super soft and packed with delish fillings, I got mine with cream cheese and my partner got egg/cheese/sausage, both loaded but the perfect balance, not overdone. Plates left clean! There's a ton of coffee flavor option including seasonal, plus lots of tea options. The staff are very friendly! read more

Very cool out of the way breakfast nook. Great ambiance and superior service. Loved the breakfast egg and sausage sandwich!

Nice little cafe on Main Street. The service was friendly and the fresh-cooked Bacon, Egg and Cheese Bagel was excellent. The coffee was excellent. A quiet place to relax and enjoy breakfast. read more

I used the Yelp app to find this place to fulfill my morning caffeine infusion requirement - before getting out on the interstate to head home to Virginia. The guy working the shop was very friendly. I ordered their dark roast - it was good, but not as "dark" as I prefer. The seating area in the shop is somewhat eclectic - and I mean that in a positive way. You can get food here too - breakfast sandwiches, sandwiches, soup, and more. read more

This place is awesome. A wonder little diamond in the rough. Smaller, house feel with a family touch. Feeling like you're walking back into mom's house and the comfort is just superb! Small places like this do not get enough credit. Quiet and pleasant. I definitely will revisit if I am back in town! read more

Decent coffee and cute location and food selection is on point. I had the cappuccino and it was very fresh and yummy. I also ordered a chicken and "healthy" quinoa salad this was delicious I will be back The owner is excellent at making all kinds of coffee but it's been hit or miss with the others either my lattee ends up burnt or no flavor at all it helps if your employees who drink all types of coffees bc they can taste it ( small sample on the side !) Still going back it's every other time now! Plus every other time they remind me to put my number in the lady yesterday ( Monday April 29th didn't) bummer! read more

Great coffee and breakfast sandwiches! They use coffee iced cubes in their iced coffees which I'd never had before! I also recommend their bagel breakfast sandwiches, the bagels are especially good read more

The coffee is brewed/served by the hands of a couple folks that LOVE what they do. You're always greeted with a warm welcome, served with meaningful conversations and thanked with a genuine 'please come back and see us again' farewell. This is key to making small business successful! Top notch. To other Mom and Pop's - please retrieve your notepad. read more

Great food, better service! Don't let your initial thoughts deter you from enjoying their food. Walking in the door, it's a little confusing... we expected a little diner and it's more like a coffee shop with limited seating for larger groups. They have a limited menu, but they've perfected all the items on the menu. Everyone in my party had their minds made up, until he came to take our orders... based on our original selections he made suggestions to us to tweak our order, we couldn't have been happier with his suggestions. One person created their own sandwich, he suggested the beast... He said it was the best bagel he's ever had. Hands down, great way to start your day! read more

Fun place to go. I saw the other review but tried it anyway because i like small businesses and it is close to home. The people are friendly, both employees and customers. The owner makes sure everyone is happy, he walks around and checks if anyone needs refills, etc. basically table service at a coffee house. Prices are clear, food is good, baked goods are fantastic. They have comfortable places to sit inside and out. They are family oriented with board games, chess, ice cream and two TV's customers get the remotes and free WiFi. Great place to hang out. read more

We were in town visiting from California for a wedding and came across the Main Bean. We loved our cappuccinos they were freshly ground, and the gentlemen offered great service and was friendly to my girlfriend and I. Thanks for the great service! read more

i honestly used to be a regular here but the one guy working sometime started making weird comments to me and making me uncomfortable so i unfortunately stopped coming by. the two girls that work here were extremely friendly to me & made the best coffee. that's why its 2 stars. read more

What a find. Stopped in here weary from traveling, looking for a good cup of coffee with some espresso shots. Was absolutely not disappointed. The owner was funny, helpful, understanding, and man does he make a mean cup of Joe. So nice I wanted to just sit and chat with him all day, but alas, the 10 hour drive ahead of me pushed me out the door. Had a cup of his famous coffee with two shots, black, and it was heavenly. He warned me that once I had his coffee I wouldn't want anyone else's. He was right. If there wasn't 1000 miles between us, this would be my daily stop. If you're a coffee fan, do not miss this. read more

Had an iced americano with coconut vanilla cream and it was great. Nothing better than affordable coffee that tastes good.

This coffee shop is simply amazing. It's super cozy.. The iced coffe, bomb, the tea, bomb, the food, bomb. So, it's basically super quaint and friendly with amazing service and atmosphere. You need to stop in for a little bit of everything!!! read more

Great local coffee shop where you can sit and read, relax, or get work done! They have hot or iced coffees as well as a plethora of specialty drinks!
