Friendly Bean Coffee

Friendly Bean is a great local coffee shop. Saturdays are for a chocolate croissant with a Shot in the Dark.

We've been customers of Friendly Bean for years now, and they rarely disappoint. Both their coffee and their pastry options are fantastic and varied. Mornings and weekends are extremely busy here, so the wait times can vary, but the wait is worth it. The only criticism I might have is that depending on who is running the espresso machine, it's possible to get different results as far as beverage. I've had a couple of times where the milk was burnt, or times where the flavor was a little off/had no flavor at all (i.e. vanilla). Those issues are very rare, and are more than likely related to training of personnel. Overall, very happy with their friendly service, prices, and selection!

Drinks are delicious and always fresh (I usually get a latte called Beehive). Menu is diverse and creative while also making classics. Prices are reasonable for quality/quantity. Staff is lovely and friendly as well. Their pastries are good too, I usually get a scone in the morning before I head to work, very filling. Cinnamon rolls and chocolate croissants are awesome too. Another perk is that they are local and not a chain! Feels good to support local instead. They also have a stamp card, everytime you get a drink you earn a stamp. After 10 stamps you get a free drink. This place is my Central Perk. ♡

Top place for coffee in the area easily! Iced Latte is sooo good. Tastes like coffee rather than ice water….add a little honey and oat milk makes for a great drink.

I love coming to the friendly bean every morning for my chai. If you’re an avid chai drinker like me, you have to come, some of the best chai tea lattes I’ve ever had, and I refuse to drink the Starbucks chai, disgusting. Unlike the friendly bean, so sweet and spicy!!!

I love this place. My favourite thing to get here is the hot white chocolate mocha. The quality of the coffee is great, and the cost is lower than certain other popular coffee places. The atmosphere here is really nice. Good place to come and read while sipping some good coffee. They have little pastries as well, and sell bagged coffee grounds/beans. Along with coffee, they offer tea, and smoothies. The smoothies are made with real fruit and taste DELICIOUS. The workers here are very friendly. They have a drive through as well. They hang various artwork on the walls that are interesting to look at, to say the least. On the outside, it looks super small, but it's surprising spacious inside, with plenty of comfy seating.

Great coffee and atmosphere! They are SO friendly in keeping with the name of the place! Don't let the size deter you. Go inside and hang sometime. And I had the best blueberry muffin I've ever had there! They have lots of other awesome food stuff too.

We’ve been going here for a few years and they’re just top notch! The friendly bean has been open throughout COVID, and they’ve been a nice piece of normal. Their coffee is amazing, their smoothies even better. They’re a local company and again the staff is just the best. I know there can be some long lines but they get people through there quick and it’s worth the wait!

This place is my go to coffee shop. It's small and quaint, and the staff are incredibly friendly. They get to know you and there are many regular customers I see everyday here. The coffee is priced greatly, the taste is superb. They roast their own beans and have a good bakery selection to choose from as well. Waiting for nicer weather to try out their patio to sit on.

They have a fast wifi in house anyone can use and they have a desktop anyone can use as well. They have some older furniture inside to sit on. The only thing I wish they would improve upon is the furniture. Everything is pretty old and beaten up and the location sure could use a face lift! Not taking any stars away because I realize that's not cheap to do and this is a smaller local coffee shop.

I would still absolutely recommend this place to anyone for a great cup of Joe! Make sure you get the reward card and get a free every 10 beverages you buy!!

the best coffee/smoothie place north of the river. The people that work there are so kind and the drinks they make are amazing. They also have some amazing pastries and sandwiches, much better than anything Starbucks has ever had. Almost every other time I go there, someone in front of me pays for my drink, and of course I do the same. The other day someone put $100 into paying for people’s items! Friendly bean also donates insane amounts of money to fundraisers or people in need. It really shows how there main priority is helping other people. I go there at least once a week with either my family or girlfriend, and I recommend you do too.
