What to order: Acai Bowl (e.g., “The Rider”, “Kneel” bowl)From Google Maps reviews.
I really like studying at the Bean because I can always find a table, and their coffee, smoothies, and food are good. I really like their acai bowls and pastries.

Great food and drink - But the customer service is terrible. To management: PLEASE FIX YOUR BATHROOM. An employee just used it, saw him come out. And when I asked for the bathroom code, after buying a coffee… he said “Sorry boss” and pointed to the door. Didn’t bother to explain when said I saw him use it… Just showed me the door - literally.

Tough spot. Really bad energy after dark. The manager was essentially yelling at his employee who was doing her absolute best. Super loud music, kind of an obnoxious energy, not very nice :( Mostly broke my heart how mean the guy was being. Wifi didn’t work. Asked politely for some support and was basically yelled at. Really yellow overhead lighting. Has outlets. Chai latte was very very very sweet.
