The Coffee Bean — Restaurant in Butler District

Visited for the first time today. The coffee and service was great. I was shocked at how much flavor my iced coffee with French vanilla flavor had. I had to ask if they used flavored coffee too lol.

Why would I go to Starbucks and spend $10 on a hot milk drink with coffee flavor, when I can get a fresh cup of coffee with a robust flavor here. By this point, I've tried their whole menu and almost all their special menus. If you are looking for a great cup of coffee without having to stare at a 16 year old who has never had a cup of coffee, leave those commercial coffee shops and go to The Coffee Bean. They also make amazing homemade scones and muffins, sometimes gluten free. They also occasionally sell fresh fruits and fresh veg...
