Crema's Take

“The Bean Scene is a genuinely laid-back college café where you can actually settle in for hours without feeling rushed, thanks to abundant couches and a beatnik vibe that prioritizes comfort over pretension. The baristas are genuinely warm, the prices are refreshingly low (especially with a reusable cup), and the indie aesthetic makes it feel like a proper third space rather than a caffeine transaction—perfect if you're after a quiet Monday morning or need to work undisturbed.”

What to expect

Espresso-focused. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and pastries on the menu.

Coffee with a smile! Nice atmosphere to relax and enjoy your drink. Grab a Simpson shirt or hat while you’re there.

Quiet coffee shop attached to the college clothing store. Visited on an early Monday morning and it was very peaceful. Purchased a 12oz Americano for under $2...if you bring your own cup. Lots of comfortable seating with plenty of electrical plugs for powering up laptop.…
