The Coffee Bean

The place is cute and clean. I had the portfolio and it was great. Bread was very fresh and the chipotle aioli had the right amount of heat. I will definitely return. They also carry Valentine coffee which is my favorite. The owner is also super friendly and offered to deliver food, as the group I was with all work in the chase tower.

The bacon sausage egg and cheese bagel is delicious! Add cream cheese. Get it delivered, along with a cappuccino. Yummmmm

This is at least the third coffee/​café that’s been in this location over the last few years. It’s a great location so I don’t know why they can’t survive here, but hopefully The Coffee Bean will be the winner! It’s great-​looking on the inside and the service is fast and friendly — we were served by the owner. Unfortunately, he didn’t write our order down so he got the beverage part of the order wrong, but it turned out ok. Instead of getting the Americano my boyfriend ordered, he got a Black Eye, which turned out to be fine. Good to try something new once in awhile. There isn’t much vegetarian or vegan food here, so be aware of that. I got the quinoa salad and while tasty, there wasn’t much of it. My boyfriend ordered a bagel with cheese and probably an egg on it, and he gave it a grade of B. I would give my salad a B, too. It wasn’t filling and I was still hungry afterwards, but it tasted good, the cranberries and citrus vinaigrette were a sweet and zesty touch. We probably won’t be back, however, because I need to go to a place that has more vegan options. If they add more to their menu, I will return. Let’s hope they do because it would be a nice place to go!

This is a great place for lunch. The staff is friendly and fast. The place is clean and welcoming! We ordered some paninis. One tasted like a reuben and the other was roast beef. Both were delicious! We left with an order to go of coffee and couldn’t resist the freshly baked chocolate chip cookies. I will definitely be back! Easy location by Chase and good service with very gair prices.

Went to meet a friend for lunch earlier this week and was surprised to find out that Sven’s Café is no longer operating in this location, and has been replaced by The Coffee Bean under new ownership.
Service was extremely slow from the start. The man behind the counter told us he’d be right with us after he was done making a coffee drink and getting a piece of bakery for a customer who was ahead of us. It was clear from the beginning that they may need to add some staff.
The same man came to tell us that it would be just a while longer for our sandwiches (it was taking quite a while and there was only 1 other customer in the café at this time so I’m not sure why it was taking so long). He said they were frying up some fresh bacon for my sandwich. Could’ve fooled me because when I got my sandwich the bacon was hardly cooked and definitely not good.
Maybe this is my fault because I was used to the sandwiches at Sven’s being grilled /​panini style — but I was unpleasantly surprised to find just a normal sandwich delivered to my table. On top of the bacon being way under-​cooked, there was hardly any turkey on the sandwich and one small piece of cheese.
For $ 8 — I could’ve made a way better sandwich at my house and saved a bunch of money in the process.
My friend wasn’t overly impressed with his sandwich either.
The whole experience was underwhelming, from the slow service to the lackluster food, I won’t be returning.
I recommended making the trek to Bay View for the original Sven’s!

Was looking for a place to have a nice quick lunch and walked into The Coffee Bean.
Did not know it was opening day when we arrived. Place looked neat and clean, and inviting atmosphere. Staff was very friendly and courteous.
The Paninis we ordered were served quickly and extremely delicious. I had the Hiawatha which was really good. The price was right and this was a great value.
I wish the new owners luck and will return next time I am in town.
