7 reviews for Bean & Bean
This place resonates with calm. It's a nice place to pop into since the financial district can get extremely hectic during the day.
The staff are largely friendly, although they don't ever try to chat.
Great seating area. I think the key is the very heavy rotating door that keeps out the street noise. The go-to for coffee.
Coffee: AMAZING
Service: also AMAZING
Prices: ehhh, not so much
This place is pretty expensive, and I'm not entirely sure it's worth the price. I guess if you're not opposed to spending $$$ on really good coffee, then this is a good place for you. Otherwise, I can see how the prices would taint your opinion. The price is the only reason this is a four star instead of a five!
Oh, and also the oatmeal here is incredible. It's real oats!
So much better than Starbucks. Like, 100 times better.
The iced cappuccino tastes like Haagan Dazs coffee ice cream. The iced coffee is smooth and rich--no burnt or bitter taste that I've come to expect from Starbucks coffee.
Faster service than Starbucks, too, and the baristas at Bean & Bean are friendlier and always say hello, smile, make eye contact and say thank you.
My go-to coffee spot downtown. Come to the UES or Union Square!
This is the best coffee I've had in New York. Every time.
The coffee is generally pretty good but the skill level of the staff is inconsistent. If you're lucky, you get a trained barista who can foam milk into a velvety canvas before painting a pattern on it with your espresso. Unfortunately, once in a while you'll get a "dunkin donut" trained employee and end up with a weak bubbly mess.
This place has good coffee, much better than the giant delis right near here.
The service seems to be very hit or miss. Sometimes the people working are friendly and quick, and other times they are slow and too busy talking to each other to pay attention to the customers. Also, I get a bagel here occasionally, and had gotten one maybe 3-4 times before someone asked me if I wanted it toasted. I was like, "you have a toaster?!" suprise, suprise! The other food selection is kind of lacking.
Also, they are more expensive than Starbucks for a cup of coffee which is kind of ridiculous. But if I'm feeling like I need a good coffee I will come here.
AWESOME coffee!!! Second only to when I was in Indonesia.
