It’s close and has decent coffee. It isn’t too busy on a Sunday which is great if you’re catching up on some work. If you’re planning to hang out for a few hours the chairs and tables are not the most comfortable but they do ok.

Cute lil coffee shop tucked away on Granville st. Perfect for a shopping extravaganza stopover, place to hang out w friends of read a book or to stay away from the rain. It’s cozy and smells like cookies and coffee. It’s handwritten chalkboard menu is quite hip and the specials are displayed. The barista is friendly and there’s other sweets and eats there. Quite enjoyed the latte and dark hot chocolate we ordered. Will be back

To be honest I am not a fan of Bean Around the world, however, they have better pastry options than other chain stores which I appreciate. They do make a decent latte.

I had a shot of espresso and he pulled it under 30 seconds which was good and it tasted pretty damn good. This was my first coffee shop so far in Vancouver. Really good spot

the wifi here was good. I was walking distance and its cozy. Small but good enough. I had there americano and it was decent. And their muffins aren’t so bad either. If your looking for a quieter coffee shop this should suffice.

They have iced teas, and by that I mean a great variety! They even had iced roobios which is what I had. You can also have syrups too which make good combos. Kind of pricey for tea but it’s Vancouver what did you really expect it’s an average price.

A hipster haven in my otherwise rich grownup neighbourhood. Where I can go in feeling hungover and be greeted with sympathy by the baristas. Never super busy and a pretty cozy space — it’s my local coffee spot and thus it feels like home

I don’t know what to say about this place. It’s not bad, but it’s not great. It’s a bit small, but not in a bad way. It’s pricier than starbucks or blenz, but it’s hard for me to gauge the coffee since I only drink tea. It’s in a convenient spot(grab a tea before going to Barney’s next door!) and the staff I’ve met are all cool, but it’s kind of just ok.

Very cool coffee house with very good coffee in a very funky neighborhood. I would give it 4 stars, but the lack of seating takes away a star. Not to say you shouldn’t check it out. We went on a sunny day, chatted with the tatted-up barista’s and watched the people of Vancouver walk by. There was even a pug sitting outside. Next to the coffee, that was my favorite part.

I was looking for a place with a little bit of eclectic décor and all around comfortable atmosphere and that is what I actually received! The service was prompt and to the point(he didn’t seem the sort to chit-chat.) I sat down with my large regular coffee and soaked in the interior. It was nice, although like other cafes here in Vancouver, you’ve got to muster up the balls to ask a patron with an extra seat if you could perhaps share because the seating is quite limited if not totally taken. As my first time at a «Bean Around the World» I would definitely go back to check it out(and their other chains) again. It’s a nice place to escape and bury yourself in your computer/work/book.

The location is great, and the vibe inside is fine. Honestly, my biggest complaint is with the crappy internet connection. I go to sit in coffee shops to do work. If I can’t, I will go somewhere else. Coffee is coffee.

Hipster job satisfaction in South Granville — I felt like I was on Main Street for a second. There’s something about being served by the non-plussed attitude of a hipster. The mocha was delicious — bitter, caffeiney, smooth and hot. The 2 black chairs in the window are worn in and comfortable as hell, a great place for a chat on a rainy day.

Great drinks and gluten free cookies! I wish they had more comfy seats as whoever gets the comfy chairs in the window area tend to stay there for a long long time sipping their coffee and perusing the newspapers, I definitely would if I got those seats ;)

Yes! I love this little coffee joint nestled in the South Granville shopping district. There are several other major chain coffee shops within a stone’s throw away, but I like this one the best. It has a homey feel, great service and terrific beans.

Change is always good. Always drinking Starbucks, we decide to give the Bean a try. We came on a weeknight, and it wasn’t busy. In fact, we were the only customers at the time. Maybe because of its location, they had several large pieces of paintings upon a grey wall. Several tables line the wall, and couches by the window. A different atmosphere, I like this. Their menu is simple, with big font so that people like me that usually have to squint to look at the menus with the coffeeshops don’t have to. Another bonus. They have a lot of different coffees available, all organic. I order a large white chocolate mocha. In the style of Café Artigiano, there’s a nice leaf pattern on the foam. Pretty! I take a sip. Mmmm. this stuff is good. Not too sweet, and just perfectly rich. A good hint of the white choclate flavour, balanced with the mocha. Music isn’t overbearing, and there’s a comfortable atmosphere. Delicious! My mocha was good to the last sip! Craving for more as I write this.
