Way of Bean - coffee club — Restaurant in Oro Valley

Wouldn't it be great if every small town had a fabulous local venue that was full of friends, nice food, and excellent coffee and tea? Well Oracle has been waiting for what seems like centuries for just that and now can enjoy it in this creative and peaceful place.

Locals all remember when this structure housed Oracle's "Middle Circle K" and how all sorts of folks gassed up their cars and trucks here and bought their winning (!) lottery tickets, too. Now, in a total makeover, the owner Kristina and her talented crew have rescued Oracle and made this building the coffee club of dreams. Hey, it's a "way of being".....

Open only one week, the first breakfast day was on Saturday, Dec.17.2022, and served as an experiment for what is to come. I met well over a dozen of my local friends this day and had an excellent open-face, avocado and fried egg sandwich that was most tasty and satisfying. The farm-fresh local bacon and sausage on the side made it the perfect breakfast as well.

The future is bright at the Bean: a raised platform in the southwest corner of the giant main room will one day soon begin hosting live music and maybe a dance (?). It also seem likely that groups will want to meet here and would be able to sequester half the room for a get-together, perhaps educational, familial, or for business.

The Bean will be famous in the very near future for giving Oracle another special place to hang out and enjoy life. I am so grateful and if you wander by on American Avenue, make sure to have a look and a tasty espresso or two. You'll be back quicker than you think.

EDIT: Nov.13.2023 The new menu for Saturday and Sunday breakfast is in full force and the happiness quotient has...

Been giving them business every day for a week. Came in on Saturday, the girl said that it is a private club and I need to pay for a day pass. I was confused since this was the first time I heard this. So I asked her if they do that on the weekend. She must have misunderstood, she said that it is a day pass. I didn’t know you had to pay for a pass, based on my experience I didn’t know it was a private coffee club. Anyway the girl behind the counter got offended by my questions and said she won’t charge me the day pass today, which wasn’t the issue, I just was surprised and asked about it, wasn’t trying to not pay the entry fee. I ordered an americano, and she decided to give me watered down drip coffee instead to get back at me for the questions. She still charged me $8.00 for my coffee and biscotti, and I left her a tip. I feel like I was ripped off for asking a simple question. The one star is for that particular barista. Not the whole shop. Everyone else I ordered from was great and made me...

My writing group went here for coffee, a couple of times each time the service was slower and slower. They never have fresh brewed coffee on hand. You have to buy the specialty if you want to get served at all, One of our riders bought the membership which we still can’t get served. We ended up walking out on them yesterday and then as we’re loading back up onto the bike they come out. Can we help you a little too late? We stay there for 15 minutes waiting for them to help us, we won’t be making a regular stop anymore main due to the service. If you get coffee it’s good the shop...
