Coral Bean Cafe

Overpriced. For the price I paid my coffee was handed to me in a cup without a saucer and $4.45 for two pieces of toast with a smear of cinnamon and some fat. I did not even taste the butter. I could have gotten a more classy presentation and delicious food at Bien Merite for the same price. (Almost $9.00 for a regular coffee and toast).

Great food, great atmosphere, and great coffee. I been there twice and I love this place. The owner is super chill, easy-going and has a passion for his craft. I would recommend to everyone I know in Corpus Christi.

Incredible food and drinks! We were visiting and went in for coffee. We went back a second time. Cool vibe and staff. I had the banana foster pancakes.... yummy! Definitely worth a visit!

They discriminated against me for walking in with my service dog when all I wanted was to order a kombucha. My dog is a medical necessity and access is required by law.
They demanded to see paperwork (which is illegal) and gave me a hard time and even made me and my friend uncomfortable by glaring at us even though my dog has a vest clearly stating he is a service dog and is extremely well trained. I'm a member of the Corpus Christi Cars and Coffee group and was recommended this business but will never give them my money again. For such a progressive, culturally rich business, they sure marginalized a minority like the worst... The picture was not taken at the business, but is a picture of my service dog with his vest at a more friendly business.

Their product is absolutely amazing. True to their word on the radio ads about quality -- went there and had the matcha latte and it was delicious. My biggest complaint is the environment and the service. I'm 100% for supporting local, but you feel totally unwelcome there. They don't greet you as you walk in, they aren't friendly at the register (they give a "what do you want" kind of attitude), they don't say thank you after ordering or getting your drink. I say thank you in a peppy manner to coax them, but only get silence. I see they spend more time criticizing other businesses tacos that evaluating their business. It's just a very unfriendly/awkward environment to be in. Again, their product is great so if you don't care about customer service, then this place is great. They have such a great product on hand that their environment absolutely kills any want of wanting to return - even my partner didn't want to come back. I came 2 other times to see if my first visit was a fluke. Nope! A very unwelcoming environment the other times. Hopefully they can adjust this because I want to see them grow, but it's so hard to go there when it feels like your business isn't wanted.

Great food, great coffee, wonderful atmosphere and friendly service! 😀

Been there twice and both times was not amused. Yes the coffee is good but the staff is rude. I literally went back again just for the coffee and they were rude again! I was still willing to order a coffee but after I heard the way the cashier was speaking ill about me having a big bill to the barista (I had a big bill and I asked if they couldn't break it, they couldn't, it was understandable) I just got my stuff and left.
I understand it's 10:30am and you might not have change but don't be rude about it, or mock the situation in front of the customer or speak ill about them as they walk away or while they're at their table.
I was willing to go somewhere to break the bill and go back to get a coffee but after that I don't think so!!
Definitely don't recommend this place 👎

Waste of time money food had me sick food poisoning I was sick had to get IV fluids in the ER because it had me throwing up and nausea had to miss a day of work to recover NEVER again

Iced lavender matcha latte & the candied bacon tacos on the weekend…. Sheeeeeeeshhhh 🔥🔥🔥 I swear I’m in their drive thru weekly! (Drive thru is a big plus because I hate getting down at places!!) support local and stop giving your money to chains, we need good food places here in cc! I’m burnt out on everything else

I love this place! The folks are warm and friendly. I have special food requirements and they fixed food to meet my needs! 😍 The atmosphere is very relaxed, very spacing to avoid crowded seating… coffee was innovative and chai latte was warm and fulfilled my wishes! #supportlocalbusiness #smallbusiness #coffeelover #coffeesolvesproblems
