Bean & Barnacle
4660 El Mar Dr, Pompano Beach, FL
Crema's Take
“Bean & Barnacle brings a relaxed, spacious vibe to Pompano Beach with strong local credentials—they're serving Panther Coffee, a beloved regional roaster—and nailed-it specialty drinks like their double chocolate frappe that keep people coming back. The experience here is genuinely uneven: you might get exceptional service from a solo barista crafting your breakfast sandwich, or you might encounter staff who seem more interested in listing what's unavailable than helping you find your next favorite coffee. If you catch them on a good day, it's a solid spot for lingering with a laptop or grabbing quality cold brew, but consistency isn't their strong suit.”
What to expect
Cold brew standout. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly, quick-grab spot, outdoor seating. Pastries and light food on the menu.

The place is very nice, spacious, and the service was good, but they don't have a good barista; they just make coffee without knowing how to do it. Don't sell me a flat white when you're giving me a boiling latte. I wouldn't drink coffee here again, I thought since they used…
Nice lil spot. They serve Panther coffee, which is apparently a pretty popular coffee. The double chocolate Frappe is delicious. The juice was good also, but its just soda and a mixer. It's not a "from scratch" type of juice. The vibe in there was really cool, and close to the…
