The Bean Counter
1911 W Iles St Ave, Springfield, IL
Crema's Take
“This Springfield gem draws coffee lovers in with its distinctive hand-illustrated bag artwork and a genuinely friendly crew who clearly know their craft. Beyond traditional espresso drinks, they shine with creative offerings like their beloved Luke Warm flavored coffees (the Blueberry Crunch is legendary) and a build-your-own flavored latte bar that lets you experiment with unexpected combinations, plus they've got matcha tea for when you want to venture beyond coffee.”

The store is nice and the staff was really friendly. The artwork on the coffee bags is incredible. I was not crazy about the beans I chose for my espresso machine but you might like them. Give local a shot!
I tried them from a friend, and order online. Before this, I had tried other flavored coffees from companies like Bones Coffee and random places on Amazon. Lukewarm Coffee is my favorite flavored coffee, and is superior to Bones Coffee. Plus I'd rather buy from people that are part of a community than a large company.
I fell in love with this shop at first sniff!! Luke Warm coffee is amazing... every flavor is wonderful. My favorite is their Blueberry Crunch, yes it is as good as it smells! The art work on each bag is super cool! This is not only a coffee shop but a gift shop too, with fabulous items you don't find everywhere. I bought a ring there that has quickly became my favorite piece of jewelry! Love the Bean Counter!
I ordered a mocha and it was absolutely delicious, the place smelled great, and they had a wide variety of great looking products available. The pricing is typical of non-chain coffee.. I did not see whether or no it was fair trade. Unfortunately, the establishment does not have indoor seating. If they did I would be coming here a couple times a week while I waited on my mother running errands or to work for a few hours, but I cannot. I do not see myself coming back until I decide I want to browse the store. The coffee is four stars, but I do not think the establishment should be labeled a café if it is not a sit-down.
Friendly staff and nice little place. They have a wide range of fun tea/coffee products. Build your own flavored latte let's you try different combo of favor shots. They wife enjoyed walking through the boutique and checking out the clothes and other novelty.
