The Friendly Bean
12928 Bridgeport Way SW, Lakewood, WA
Crema's Take
“Nestled near McChord AFB in Lakewood, this coffee shop has earned genuine affection from regulars who rave about the exceptionally kind staff and their willingness to help you find your perfect drink. The vanilla lattes with oatmilk and fresh muffins keep people coming back daily, and the welcoming atmosphere makes it equally suited for a quick grab or a lingering conversation with friends. Fair prices and consistently friendly service create the kind of neighborhood spot where you feel genuinely cared for, not just another transaction.”

the staff at the friendly bean are soooo kind. she was so helpful in figuring out what to pick and made it a point to make sure we got what we wanted. she even suggested that if there was nothing on the menu we wanted, she could make whatever to match, which was really considerate. definitely worth the money to try ((: i had the dirty chai with caramel syrup and caramel drizzle and it truly was sooo good!!
This place is great! Ever since it reopened as a normal coffee shop I have been coming by regularly and always have a good experience. The staff are friendly and prices are very good especially with the military discount. Thankful to have this place at mcchord!
My issue in the consistency. The boss doesn’t know how to make the coffee right and is always talking money/costs with me for some reason. Saying places are charging too much for ice and ground coffee. Even went as far as telling me how many bags of ice and coffee they are using per week. You should never discuss this with customers. I’m also not a fan of their winter hours!
This place is my favorite! I go here almost daily for my favorite drink and the friendly service! I always order a vanilla latte with oatmilk. The coffee here so sooo good and I love their muffins and other treat options. I recommend to all!
Nice little coffee shop right off the road and outside McChord AFB. They have a variety of coffees and have muffins and unheated treats.
