The Cocoa Bean — Restaurant in Florida

Starbucksish grindhouse with resort prices and limited drink availability. Lacking some of the Starbucks flavors and favorites but making up for it with a selection of marketplace items not found in most stores. The seating area also has a microwave to reheat that pizza you bought the night before since you had to sell a kidney to afford the room rates and were left light in the wallet after all was said and done. The staff can be hit or miss. Some are on it and offer a greeting when you come in, take your order when you are ready, then make your drink the way you requested. Others will ignore you, take your order when they feel like it and then proceed to mess...

Good place to get a Coffee inside the Gaylord Palms This location is inside Gaylord Palms Resort and Convention Center, right off the main Atrium by one side of the Emerald elevators and on your way to the Convention center from the front desk. The staff was very friendly and helpful. It is very tastefully decorated and clean. There are screens, masks and social distancing circles to ensure adherence to covid protocol. There was only one person working at the time so service may be slow. We ordered tea, coffee and snacks. If you want something to eat and drink while walking around the complex then this is a good place...

Small, but quaint, "The Cocoa Bean" provided just the coffee fix required during a recent trip to Orlando, Florida, and the Gaylord Palms.

A Venti latte for me, a Venti vanilla bean frappuccino for my daughter, along with a turkey and provolone sandwich for us to share. Total out the door, including tax was $22.79. Don't believe me? I have the receipt.

Our server - Sandra - was friendly and polite. Our drinks and sandwich were made to order. No problems or issues and we were out the door in about 5 minutes.
