the coffee deserves to be better with such a friendly air and overall welcomness you feel in there, but the coffee really isnt very good, 100% kona was really weak drip coffee and the vanilla frappe tasted a little like a french vanilla creamer in cold brew (i would have absolutely loved it but the ice chunks were choking me a lot) i really hope it was just an off day with how good the marketing is and that it has best local coffee. the only other thing was less of a problem and more just something strange, theres hardly any normal cafe drinks on the menu, the closest thing is a latte without steamed milk, so just espresso with milk, and also you cant see the espresso machine which is kind of sad because they are such pretty machines
(edit) while heavy cream will make coffee weaker because there is more liquid in the cup it shouldnt make it taste like watery milk with no coffee taste, im sure that what coffee was there was good since its such a high grade and how good the reviews are, and while i realize a frappe is an ice based drink the ice chunks where a little big for my taste. you have a merry christmas to mr owner guy (sorry i didnt...
   Read moreJust got back from a trip, passed through this place and was looking forward to a pick me up for a long drive. I usually just get straight espresso in a small cup, I like it that way more than drip or lattes. I was handed a small cup with more than 2 ounces of liquid. It didn't taste like espresso at all. Very weak, like half water half drip. I was pretty surprised based on the ratings, but looks like the owners got a bug up his ass, so I dont feel bad about this review. I just dont think its possible I was handed espresso, I never heard anything grinding or pouring. And there was no reason they would have one already made. Also no bathroom, which is fine usually. But just made it worse when the coffee sucked. I saw a couple reviews saying they dont usually like coffee but they liked this one, I'm willing to bet its cause it's weaker than anything else they've...
   Read moreNot my kind of place, it would seem.
I stopped by Beanz, looking for some espresso and a good, comfortable place to drink it; unfortunately, it didn't quite work out. First, there was no inside seating (or did I just miss it somehow?), only some picnic benches in the yard, which, besides being out in the summer heat and humidity, lacked umbrellas. Naturally, it began raining soon after I sat out. Combine that with an Americano that struck me as somewhat weak and tasteless, and, sad to say, my visit to Beanz wasn't all too successful. On the plus side, the cashier was friendly and fast; and, in the scheme of things, I can think of far worse things than some bland coffee and a rained-out picnic.
In any case, I'm grateful for this business and my experience there. I would just suggest some umbrellas for...
