Bean & Bean Queens — Roastery & Cafe

Bean & Bean is a fantastic neighborhood spot. The staff are always friendly and welcoming, and the coffee is consistently excellent. It’s a great place to sit down, get some work done, or just enjoy a relaxed break during the day. They also happen to have really solid Wi-Fi (which I definitely appreciate). Overall it’s a well-run shop with a great atmosphere. Highly recommend stopping in if you’re in the area.

We tried two drinks here today. Hot Brew Coffee: The flavor was okay — a bit on the sour side. It wasn’t the smooth taste profile I usually prefer, but people who like brighter, more acidic coffee might enjoy it more than I did. Hojicha Latte: The roasted tea flavor was strong and enjoyable, but unfortunately, it wasn’t hot enough when served, which affected the overall experience. Service was fine and the drinks came out quickly, but temperature and flavor preferences kept the drinks from being more satisfying for us.

A calm cafe atmosphere and the coffee was smooth and hit the spot. I was amazed to see the barista meticulously prep the beans into powder then into my delicious coffee and I would definitely recommend their coffee and cool atmosphere to sit in as the background music was calming

Finally made a stop here today while doing a century ride. The heat is a 95 degrees unbearable. This venue is spacious with plenty of tables. Nicely air conditioned. Bathroom access. I noticed many customers use this as an office. Half the crowd is on their laptop or doing homework. $5.99 for a large iced coffee is exorbitant. But makes sense if you’re here for 2-3 hours. The pastry selection is limited or non existent. Sandwiches are priced on the high end. Not recommended for cyclists but do recommend for people looking to do work on laptop.

I'm a little surprised to see a high rating at this place, probably from the youngsters who studied and socialized here. I have to say the safe and service were excellent. People were sweet and kind. The building is nice, and it has a loft-like appearance with interesting coffee machinery on display. However, the store and space were poorly managed over time. The table and seating were squeezed too closely together, and the coffee burlap bags were really messy all over. It is just not a pleasant place to be in. The espresso drinks were too light and lacked fragrance. Either the beans were not roasted correctly or they have been sitting around for too long. The drinks were super disappointing for a reoastery place.
