The Busy Bean

Incredibly nice staff, delicious food, awesome selection of coffees smoothies and milkshakes. If you find your way here in South Boston this place is definitely a good place to stop by but remember they close at 3:00 p.m..

Awesome atmosphere and really good French press coffee. The staff was really friendly and helpful with suggestions. Plus they have gluten free bread and wraps so that most offerings can be made gluten free. Woo hoo!

I got the medium Colombian French press coffee and gluten free Avocado Toast. Burn we're delicious. Eating out on their shaded patio was a great way to start our day.

My father and I have a tradition of buying each other bags of coffee for Christmas from new places every year. A family member of my husband's suggested we try Busy Bean, had it shipped since we love in South Carolina. I have to say, we were both so happy with the experience! The coffee was delicious, the customer service we received through out the process was top notch. The packaging was very glamorous, including cute packaging paper and a sticker. I will definitely order from here again!!!!

Even though the folks at Busy Bean were in the midst of Christmas open house season in downtown South Boston, they managed to turn over a quick order for our after-funeral reception. Our guests enjoyed several trays of mini chicken salad croissants and ham and cheese pinwheels. We probably would have chosen an item other than pinwheels had it been offered, but the croissants which came highly recommended, lived up to the recommendation. The order was available on time when we picked up, as delivery isn’t available. Staff was very cordial. We plan to visit Busy Bean in the future when we’re in the area.

This is the third time coming and once again we are pleased. We’ve tried something different each time and have loved everything so far. From the breakfast sandwich croissants to the chicken sandwiches, from the milkshakes to the smoothies to the lemonades. Come on out and enjoy a great breakfast/brunch.

I stopped by on my way home to Richmond and was very disappointed. The food was very mediocre, but that wasn’t the issue. The issue I had was the way manager or owner (Im not sure which, but I would assume it was the owner because the rest of the employees were fairly young) was talking very poorly about her employees. If an owner is willing to treat her employees like that, I don’t agree with supporting this business.

I got a drip and an iced latte from here. The drip was okay and the latte was maybe one of the worst i’ve had. also the people who were taking our order didn’t talk to us at all. one of the employees looked half asleep and was literally wearing a blanket while taking our order.

Gave this a second go and was extremely delighted!! I ordered a gluten free pesto chicken sandwich combo and they gave me chips in substitute of the cookie(bc allergies), without even asking! Incredibly thoughtful and such friendly staff! Definitely try the holiday coffees; not overwhelming, soft flavors that are quite pleasant! 😋 😄💗🎄 Don't forget a bakery item for your favorite friend!!

We found this great little coffee baked shop in So. Boston and so glad we stopped by. Coffee great, food great, and atmosphere was wonderful. We ate outside and enjoyed seeing uptown. Busy places, so be patient, will worth the wait.

Eccentric, beautiful coffee shop. Beautifully decorated. Street parking. Friendly service. Sandwiches, soups, salad bar, Pastries and excellent coffee. Outside and inside seating.
