In Short – Honey-colored oak and leaded glass give a homey touch to this California-based chain of specialty coffeehouses. Commonly referred to as the Bean, this purveyor of high-end blends--from dark roasts to oolongs--built its reputation on the international scope of its seasonal bean offerings (originating from Yemen to Hawaii) and a highly diversified selection of teas. Pastries encourage patrons to sit; espresso makers, French presses and coffee grinders let folks bring it home.

going downhill
by shawn11
this place used to rock. the service was great, the coffee even better. looks like they got some new faces...just not the same. the coffee has taken a turn for the worse. not a whole lot of choices in this neighborhood though. I continue to go, and each time say I won't go back. oh well.

Parking-Lot Patio
by RichardTate
This location should be the most convenient place for me to get my morning latte (I live around the corner), but the line is routinely out the door, and the service is spotty. The espresso drinks are hit-and-miss, but the drip coffee is consistently good. As for the "patio," it certainly is popular, but do these folks realize they're sitting in the Albertson's parking lot? Not what I'd called relaxing atmosphere.
- Pros: Reliable coffee
- Cons: Long lines, Parking-lot setting
