The Local Bean
5138 Ocean Blvd, Siesta Key, FL
Crema's Take
“Nestled on Siesta Key, this espresso-focused coffeehouse takes its craft seriously, pulling shots that draw praise from traditionalists who appreciate properly proportioned cappuccinos and excellent drip coffee made from local beans. The small, cozy space invites lingering over a cup and pastry, though reviews suggest the experience hinges heavily on timing and which staff member you encounter. If you catch them on a good day, you'll find genuine specialty coffee and a laid-back vibe worth seeking out.”

Nice coffee house vibe, great coffee, friendly staff and food available. Ours was a morning stop for coffee and chai, so can’t really comment on the food other than a muffin, which was okay. Really liked the vibe/atmosphere of the place. Great option for coffee or tea when visiting Siesta Key Village
It's a small coffee house, but the coffee and muffins are excellent! The espresso is A+ and the drip coffee is fantastic. Organic half-and-half. . They tell me it's local beans and the people are the nicest.... nice vibe to go along with great coffee!
This place has genuinely good coffee from someone who likes more traditional styles like cappuccinos (no not 12oz like you cavemen like haha). I understand these other reviews about the owner and his personality but that’s just how the guy is. He’s not trying to be rude. I would definitely come back. This is actually my new favorite coffee spot. They also have really good art for sale and all of the walls.
Cute place with good - though limited - offerings. The owner is extremely rude to his staff, very insulting and humiliating, and he also is consistently rude to customers. He had a woman working hard and doing a great job and berated her in front of a full lobby. Everyone’s faces registered shock at his rudeness. I won’t be interested in going back. Unthinkable bad manners. Go somewhere else. The owner has anger management issues and no respect for customers or staff. I hope his employee finds a job where her excellent service and work are appreciated.
