Came with my 2yr old son while on vacation. Ordered the Eggs Benedict and French toast for him. Both came out very delicious. Waitresses were very nice and other staff was friendly. Only complaint is that the strawberry smoothie I ordered for my son just tasted like crushed ice/​water, barely tasted any fruit.

My boyfriend brought me here for the first time today and it was great! Staff was very friendly and accommodating. The atmosphere was casual and eclectic which made for a comfortable setting. I ordered a mimosa and the smoked salmon BLT which was outstanding. It was very fresh. Definitely want to go back and try more!

Loved this place! We were leaving Bethany and we were thrilled when the staff seated us just as they were trying to close (after I’m sure they had a busy brunch). The food choices were perfect and the coffee hit the spot. Service couldn’t have been better and the food was delicious. Thank you to the staff today. You rounded off a perfect weekend at the beach!

We have been dining at Kool Bean since it opened and have always been more than satisfied with their food and friendly service. I want to especially commend Luis and the rest of the staff. Five stars.

Fabulous breakfast! I had the quiche, salad, and cappuccino, and everything was delicious. The homemade lemon salad dressing was to die for — perfect on the fresh salad with craisins and apple slices. The quiche was full of bacon, cheddar, and hash browns. We will absolutely go back!

We had a fantastic meal. I highly recommend the blueberry and lemon pancakes. Our server Luis was great — very personable and attentive. I look forward to our next meal here.

This Café always surprises you with how well they use spices and come up with a twist on all of their dishes that is sure to tantalize your taste buds. I had their quiche which was so creamy and full of flavor! The side salad had a lemon dressing that was very different and was wonderful on the salad. The soup hit the spot for a cold day. Very nice tomato parmessean soup! The brownie a la mode dessert was heavenly! One of the best I have ever had. come try this place. It will never disappoint! The service is great too!

Coffee was fair. Staff was fairly attentive, but service was loose. Not snappy and tight like most coffee shops — and I go to several. Not for someone who’s on a tight schedule but wants a good cup-​o-​joe. Good if you have time to wait. They have decent baked goods, gift cards, bagged beans, water, soda and the like. Nice spot to get your drink and snack and chill for a while, but not for quick service. I’d go back though…

I walked in and requested a coffee. There was no place to sit and the setup felt really awkward. The staff was joking and carrying on and pushing past me as if I was not a paying customer. The women that made my coffee was nice but then her colleagues asked her to make them coffee as well. It just was extremely unprofessional, I didn’t feel respected or that they even cared that I was there as a paying customer. My family also went there after my visit and my mom, sister and father didn’t get what they had originally ordered and even what they order was not prepared well. I give this place 1 star and will not be returning.

Attractive place with good food. The service was a bit slow but pleasant. This is a good place for a ladies lunch if you’re not in a hurry, but don’t go there for a quickie snack on a tight schedule!

Still as good as I remembered it 2 years ago. It’s a down-​to-​earth place with good service, food and coffee. For breakfast, we had the brie and fruit plate with toast points and two eggs over-​easy with side of bacon. Highly recommend getting there by 8:30 for the ‘Locals Breakfast’ special!
Great for groups, too! And they have lunch/​dinner service as well.

Tucked out of sight, but a great little find. Quiet and relaxed atmosphere and a solid cup of coffee for my husband, it was a nice place for breakfast.
Both of my sons and I had the pancakes with fresh berries and whipped cream. My husband enjoyed the French toast with berries and whipped cream, along with a side of sausage.
Very friendly staff, and very attentive and just plain nice.
Happy we stopped in for breakfast!

We came here a lot last year and it was very good. Maybe the best coffee at the beach. This year I’ve had 2 mediocre breakfasts and awful coffee. The specialty coffees may be fine, I haven’t tried them.

The menu and food looked great, but we waited for an hour and a half and didn’t receive any food. Multiple tables walked in after us, got their food quickly, ate, and left, but we still did not get any food. After an hour and a half of waiting they said there were still two orders before ours, even though every person there came in almost an hour after us. Service was terrible. We left extremely angry with No food. We will not be going back

This is a wonderfully understated place for a great meal. I highly recommend sampling their menu items and also asking the chef to help with any dietary restrictions. I’m a vegan and always find something delectable at any meal. My wife and her lady friends go for the two for ones in the off season. Don’t miss this place!

We were staying in Ocean View this past weekend, which is a few miles west of Bethany Beach. We were looking for a place for breakfast close to the house and drove by this café. Walking in there was only one other table, but the place was very small. They had a huge selection of coffee, cappuccino, expresso, etc… Our waitress recommended the Monte cristo, which was eggs, ham, and cheese on a French toast sandwich. It was excellent! The French toast was perfect. If I ever stay in this area again, I will be sure to stop by.

The ambiance of this little establishment is classy and quiet at least for a Saturday morning. The staff was friendly and helpful. Everything from the coffee, to the Belgium waffle with cream and strawberries, to the bacon was delish! Others in our party tried the omelets and pancakes and found them equally satisfying.
Perfect place for a date, family, or friends outing!
