Crema's Take
“The Bean pulls off the rare feat of making both espresso and creative specialty drinks genuinely excellent—order the Kizer mocha if you want proof that a local roaster can outshine the chains. The vibe is genuinely welcoming with solid pastries and breakfast options, though service consistency seems to depend on who's behind the counter on any given day. It's worth the stop, especially if you're already in Redding and tired of big-box coffee.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, matcha and tea options too. A slow-sit, quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly. Parking available.

Ordered the hot chai latte and the Kizer mocha—both were excellent. The boutique was closed during our visit, but it looked like it had some great items. We’ll definitely be back the next time we’re in town visiting family.
The girls working are nice to regulars it seems but disregard new commers. Waited at the counter to order but were too busy talking amongst themselves. I read some of the other reviews and customer service seems to be a reoccurring problem.
The employees here are extremely rude. I wanted to try out a local shop vs Starbucks but I would've been better off going anywhere else. Definitely would rather spend my money elsewhere.
Better than Starbucks and it's local. You Should stop for your breakfast. There is flavor there. And the coffee smells so good. But unfortunately I had a tea and it was just as good as a smell coming from that place. Will be going back.
Nice atmosphere and sweet staff! Stopped by while charging my car. Warm breakfast begal was $7.24 incl. tax. Quick and worth it.
