The lady who owns this coffee shop is very rude. I tried to order a cheesecake from them and she made the process terrible. I called and asked about how much it would be per slice and she told me to do the math myself. Then she asked what flavor do you want and told the flavors, chocolate swirl and regular. So I picked regular and she said, "Why don't you like chocolate swirl?". I told her I wanted to do regular and she complained saying she didn't have enough ingredients and she would have to go all the way to the store to pick them up and then said "so what do you want to do?". I told her I would like to get what I asked for and she said okay and that was it. I eventually called back and canceled the order because it is not worth paying $40 for a cheesecake made by someone that is complaining even though they are getting paid to do what their business offers. She even complained about being very busy which is not something you should take out on your customers. Never will I do business with The Bean again. In the end, I went to Publix and had great service and a cheesecake worth the price.

Love Coffee shops with plenty of space and a cozy atmosphere and this is a clear example. The vintage memorabilia was cool to look at and appreciate. Coffee was really good and the cinnamon bun was a delightful treat for a lazy afternoon. Would definitely come back again for relaxing!

Pros: The Bean is an amazing place! The coffee is great and the vintage 70s atomosphere is nice! A great place to study. Plenty of room for students laden with many books. I love this place!! It is my one of my favorites in Auburn.
Cons: Parking can be a hassle, depending on what time of the day it is (it IS in downtown Auburn). Do not park in front of the dry cleaners next door; they'll quickly tell you to relocate your car.

Cute, funky coffee house! I tried the dirty iced coconut chai latte. It was just okay. My son had the hazelnut frappe and it was delicious. My daughter had an iced peach blossom tea and it was really good. We shared a cinnamon roll. They are huge and yummy, not too sweet! We played blokus while we were there. All in all it was a fun trip.

This is the best coffee shop in Auburn and the cinnamon rolls are incredible. The Bean has such an incredible 1970's atmosphere. There is plenty of room to study, play board games, or just enjoy a quality cup of coffee. The staff is kind and very knowledgable; you can't go wrong with The Bean!

I swear to God, if you love coffee and tea and never gone there, idk what to say to you.
Although I never gone on dates, I would say this is a good place for a first date. They have board games, Delicious desserts, along with Belgian waffles that got my friend hooked.
I always ordered the Plum spice flavor since I'm not much of a coffee person myself. It warms me up whenever I enter the darken mood.

The pastries are awesome. Danishes are some of the best I've ever eaten as are the cinnamon rolls. Coffee had good flavor. Very quirky interior design makes for an enjoyable, unique and memorable experience.

The coffee really isn’t anything special, I have been to many other coffee shops around town that have been much more impressive. This biggest thing that bothers me is how rude the owner/employees are. I have been to this location and there old one several times and not once have I had a nice interaction. I will say the cinnamon rolls are good, but there are other places I’d rather go for one.
