Waterbean Coffee — Restaurant in Concord

My husband and I discovered this little gem of a coffee shop a couple of weeks ago. The coffee was delicious! The breakfast sandwiches were good. The service was stellar! Having never been there, I didn't know exactly what to order. I was considering the holiday specials, while my husband knew exactly what he wanted. The cashier/barista, Keely, was patient, courteous, and just plain nice! She listened to my preferences, made recommendations, and even customized our drink choices. For example, my husband wanted a vanilla latte. So that's what she made him, but added a splash of white mocha, and he really liked it!

The staff was friendly, knowledgeable and patient (as I took too long to order because the options were unique and interesting!!) Was the coffee wonderful? Yes. VERY much so. Beyond the chains of course but even beyond the craft coffee scene too. What shocked me is the FOOD was good. Coffee shop food in the US is normally microwaved nonsense filled with chemicals and fake flavors, but the bagels and croissants were so excellent, the meat/cheese quality was so impressive.
