Crema's Take

“Busy Bean excels at creative espresso drinks like their coconut mocha latte and maple vanilla breve—these aren't your standard coffee shop fare, and regulars rave about them being legitimately better than big chains. The bagels and fresh pastries, especially their lemon curd tart, are worth the visit on their own, and the staff consistently goes above and beyond, even handing out bagels at closing rather than waste them. It's a genuinely clean, family-friendly spot with a loyal following that stretches back years, making it ideal if you want quality coffee and food without pretension.”

What to expect

Espresso-focused, good cold brew. A slow-sit spot, outdoor seating. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly. Parking available.

Cute place. We had the cold brew which was just okay, standard coffee. However, the lemon curd tart was great! We would come back to try their other baked goods. It was very fresh and not too sweet. Ambience is cozy and staff were very polite and professional. Next time we will…

Wifey grabbed us coffee from here yesterday. I had a regular coffee that was satisfactory, while she had a Maple Vanilla Breve that was good. Perhaps next time I will expand my horizons and get a little more creative/adventurous when making my selection... The staff was…
