The Pink Bean Coffee FALL RIVER — Restaurant in Fall River

The Pink Bean in Fall River has many hallmarks of a Third Place. A physical location where it is other than home, the First Place, or work, the Second Place. It feels like a meeting spot for friends, or even a sit down area where one can gather or generate ideas. Coffee is recommended for both.

I love their gluten-free sandwiches, as their bread tastes fresh and is lightly seasoned to give it a savory flavor. You could probably use it for a glutinous stuffing substitute for Thanksgiving. The sandwich was a wonderful mixture of egg, bacon, melted cheese, and savory bread texture.

Pink Bean's also sells coffee and smoothies for the healthy, or colon-kickstarter inclined. But their real impact is in choosing the local partners they work with.

A good Third Space interweaves story and community narrative into its physical area, and at Pink Bean, you can see a business trying to sustain itself and the community around it. Flyers with artist- and creative-resources are posted. Art is available for sale on the wall, (art I liked, too, haha!). And I see an A frame board with a local design nonprofit logo outside the store.

Like any good Third Space, Pink Bean helps their community thrive and strive. Make it there,...

Stay away from the frozen mojo. Went into my local Pink Bean Friday and was offered an "amazing ice cream like beverage" in place of the chunky chip smoothie. I was told it was liquid life topped with coffee beans and cookie crumbs. I saw no cookie crumbs and it was the waterest drink I've ever purchased for $7 a piece.

Then I walk to my car, take a sip of pure coffee bean and boom drops drink! Thank you Pink Bean.

To close, dont take a sip as you will feel like you snorted a line of coke!

I received a email from the owner, Bonnie, with a reasonable explanation to my experience & a full refund for my experience.

Hats off...

One of my favorite local coffee shops in Fall River. A little off the main roads, but conveniently located in the bank and business areas.

They boast organic coffees which are delicious. A must try is their house made Mojo (which you can buy by the half gallon). It's an iced beverage that uses cane sugar, espresso and milk in their unique process. Flavors can be added. Highly recommend chocolate!

They now have breakfast sandwiches made with real egg! Call ahead if you're on a time crunch because they are freshly grilled. Set aside 5-10 minutes for the grilling and preparing. Worth the wait! Also they have muffins, and other...
