The Sentient Bean

Was so excited to visit this establishment on my recent visit to Savannah; boy was I disappointed! My large latte actually tasted worse than running water through a used Keurig pod. Absolutely no flavor at all-just watery and bland; the omelet was ok but nothing to brag about. This is a self serve shop - the only service you get is them handing you food and drink. You even have to get your own lid for your drink, your utensils, and bus your table. Only pros were the eclectic clientele and the cashier was very nice and didn’t make me feel rushed. Would never go back.

Stopped here while visiting Savannah. The tomato and mozzarella scone is literally SO good. I regret not buying a bunch before we left. I'm literally still dreaming about that scone. The coffee was good too!

Courteous, efficient & tasty! We’ve been traveling the east coast for 8 days, exploring places that claim to have easy access to vegan breakfast and Sentient Bean is the first we’ve found that really gave all of that to its community. Thank you 🌹

First time going in here and I don't think I will be back! I ordered a sandwich and ice tea. The man taking my order seemed distracted from trying to pay for his friends order. I told him twice I wanted a sandwich and all he rang me up for was the tea. I didn't want to have to tell him a third time so I just got my tea. It was large but the cup was entirely full of ice and literally I took a couple sips and the tea was gone. I asked to speak to a manager and waited for about 10 min. I didn't get to talk to anyone. Not a good vibe.

Very cool atmosphere, and excellent location. Staff is friendly, and fast. If you walk in to a long line, you'll be through in no time. There is a wonderful assortment of treats, and small meals. A lot of vegan options, as well as gluten free. Hands down some of the best coffee in Savannah. Always very robust, and tasty. Cards are accepted for purchases over $5. Great place to pop in for a coffee to walk around the park with, or hangout with a book or friends.

Every Sunday they have a “Brunch Bowl” made with items from the farmers market the day before. It’s so fun and healthy start to the morning. The scones are amazing too.

I stopped in with my husband and daughter the other day. Ordered a frozen caramel latte. It was very watered down, had chunks of ice instead of being blended smooth, and had to wait 15 minutes for a straw to even drink it, during which time the drink I was holding melted and was watered down to begin with. 20 mins for a nearly $7 coffee with no straw that was a waste... threw it out after drinking a about a quarter of it. Husband threw his out after one sip. There was maybe 2 drops of caramel flavor in it, and no sweetener whatsoever. If it's your practice for customers to add their own sweetener you should at least have straws so we could stir it into our "frozen" drink. Customer service was lacking, and the place seemed a bit dirty. Considering I'm not the only one according to other reviews, it seems that the shop could benefit from consistency training, so that your recipes are the same from one drink to the next.

The coffee is excellent! Especially the mocha and hot London fog. Breakfast is good as well though not very flavorful. Very cute patio and interior.

Great vibe, tasty iced mocha and scone. Healthy options too. Yesterday I tried the GF breakfast bowl. My sister had the quesadilla with fresh, flavorful salsa.

Friendly service. We got the BBQ wrap and "These tacos r nutz!" They were so good and full of flavor. I wasn't sure how to feel about the "walnut crumbles" but heck they were so delicious and perfectly seasoned. The slaw was fresh and citrusy. I can't wait to come back.
Oh, and as a bonus all of the cutlery and drinkware, even the little sauce cups, are compostable.
