Crema's Take

Black Bean Coffee crafts seriously creative signature lattes built around their house-made syrups that customers rave about as "flavor bombs," all pulled from genuinely excellent espresso machines and premium beans. The space itself feels intentional and welcoming—think lovely art, garage doors, and a vibe that's equally good for settling in with your laptop for hours or catching up with friends over a cream cheese bagel. The baristas here are genuinely kind and attentive, making this gem feel less like a coffee stop and more like a neighborhood spot where you actually belong.

Lots of homemade syrups! Coffee was great and bag with cream cheese was yum. :) a really nice spot to spend some time!

Definitely my favorite, and probably one of the best coffee shops in the Twin Cities area imo. Signature lattes are flavor bombs with creative combinations of house-made syrups, and the baristas are super friendly, cozy people and knowledgeable, passionate of their craft.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I visited the newly opened Black Bean Coffee Shop and had a big latte that instantly impressed, with its smooth, rich flavor, clearly made on top-tier espresso machines and with premium beans. What really stood out was the friendly greeting and welcoming smile that greeted me as I walked in off the busy street. Located just off the Greenway on Chicago Avenue, this café isn’t just a cozy retreat for cyclists—it’s perfectly positioned for professionals finishing a shift at nearby hospitals or grabbing a mid-day pick-me-up while out and about. With major medical centers nearby, it’s ideal for healthcare workers, patients, and visitors in need of a great coffee break. The interior is bright and thoughtfully designed, my photos really captured the clean, inviting space. Whether you’re walking off a long day of work, heading to a shift, or just exploring the Greenway, Black Bean is a wonderful spot to pause, relax, and enjoy an exceptional latte. Highly recommended!

I recently just started going here and absolutely love it. The staff are so welcoming and helpful. I appreciate the kindness that they have shown towards me . I do get the same thing but as I'm coming in its a warm good morning and I can see the team already starting on my order. I get the Chai Tea with vanilla and it is made to perfection every time.

What a gem! From lovely art and flower gestures, creative java drinks, smooth atmosphere and friendly service. Love the decor and garage doors! Great place to work a couple hours or catch up with a friend. Highly recommend.
