Beans & Brews Coffee House — Restaurant in Spanish Fork

Great coffee and service and this is also where I met God. One night I was clearing out my spam folder inbox and saw the subject line: "Hey, it's me God. Want to talk?" I immediately clicked on the check box to delete it but something just wouldn't let my finger click delete. Instead, I ended up opening the email. All I saw was the address for this coffee shop and the time 6:30am and then this: "Come see the son rise with me :)" I laughed but something in me said "what if?" I couldn't sleep that night. My mind was on fire. I decided to go. Why not. I was already up and it was just down the street and I was definitely going to need coffee to get me through the day now. I pulled up and noticed I was the only car in the parking lot. Was he here? Wait! He wouldn't drive a car! Or would he? I don't know! I shouldn't tell him what he can and can't do. Wait is he a HE? Wait am I crazy? Im going to a coffee shop to meet a spam mail god. I should go home. But again, something told me to stay. So I went in. Got my usual. Medium iced coffee, little bit of ice, little bit of cream. I sat down. Started drawing, which is what I usually do. I heard the ding of the door opening and whipped my head around. Just a guy. Wait! What if? Could God look like just a guy? Why am I so quick to judge!? But it wasn't him. He got his iced latte and left. Head down, I began to draw again. The door dinged again. I turned, expecting another regular. As soon as I saw Him I knew. I could feel every atom in my body. I knew each particle in me, I inhabited the space between everything around me. I was translated. I was floating outside of time. I cried. Tears of terror and tears of joy. What's funny is up until this point I had never thought about my worthiness to be in His presence. All I could think of was "I need to be with you". And now, I felt this dark pull to run. Hide and run. You shouldn't be here. You're not worthy. You've done too many bad things! Get out of here. But before I could move He had moved to me and was hugging me. "Kurt! My Kurt!" is all he said. And I noticed then that He was crying too. He sat down with me. He looked at my drawings and sincerely complimented them. He asked how I was. I told Him, even though I knew He already knew everything and He listened, even though He knew already. He told me to hold on for a second and went and ordered. Guess what!? A medium iced coffee, little bit of ice, little bit of cream! He sat back down and just looked at me, smiling. I asked Him why me? Why did He choose to meet with me this morning? He said, and I'll never forget this, "Why not you? You are mine. I love you. I want to be with you!" I obviously cried more. We talked for what seemed like hours. I asked Him about the universe, about Moses, about Jesus especially. I asked Him which religion was right (he just laughed at that one. Like for a long time). I asked Him about what comes after. Then I asked Him if he ever gets sad. He said yes, that He carries sadness with Him constantly. In fact the sadness of the universe sits in His heart. He said something that makes Him weak is when one of us is so hurt that we blame Him and accuse Him of abandoning us. Its so hard for Him to watch us suffer and not be able to rescue us in our moments of pain. Then He told me about Christ and what He did for all of us. And why it had to be Christ and why He couldn't do it for us. I asked Him if He was married. And He is! A heavenly mother! He blushed and went on and on about Her. About all that She does in the universe. About what Her true nature is. About how regrettable it is that a side effect of the patriarchal traditions of the churches of this earth is that She and so many other women get left out of the records and histories of man. He said that She is unequivocally equal to Him in all respects and that They are partners in everything, one in the same, co-companions in creation and existence. It was beautiful the way He talked about Her. It was the best day of my life and I'll never forget it. I'll be back to Beans & Brews for sure!...

I’ve been coming almost daily since u opened. I order the same thing every time.

Today I order my coffee & take my first drink it immediately burns my lips & mouth & I have an awful chemical taste. I call to talk to them, Bailey answers says we will make u a new one, I am definitely not wanting another cup of that right now. I’m more worried about drinking straight chemical. More worried about the affects. I said did u guys just barely clean ur machine, she said yes, I said u guys did NOT rinse it properly. No apology. I’m sure my coffee was the rinse. Its ok to tell a customer it’s going to be a long wait or we can’t make that right now, we are cleaning our machine. Crazy, this is something that can put someone in the hospital. Those jobs need a checklist, it needs to be signed off by a manager/owner before serving a customer. Unbelievable. Big mistake.

Sometimes a response to these reviews can be vague & not really address the issue, or with this issue it could consist of how a machine is cleaned or the staff take steps to assure it’s 100% ready. But, today it was not. So I will also add this to help avoid a standard response, I have over 15 years of experience dealing restaurant/food/beverage/public. So I understand how de-scale & other cleaners work, very well. I have seen what de-scale can do to stainless steel if left on it for long period, it’s meant to eat away lime/hard water/crazy build up with ease, it’s a great cleaner if used properly. That’s why there are directions & safety precautions. Sanitizer is also used, even though it says “Food Grade” it can be a serious hazard to humans. This is how simple things not done correctly can ruin a good business. No matter if it’s hard to find employees, no matter how hard the day is, u must make sure the business is operated efficiently by protocol set in place & safety being number one priority, when dealing with the public & anything drinkable/edible.

If u can’t trust an employee to clean a machine properly, the owner/manager needs to be in charge of that.

Crazy amount of money spent here since day 1 of opening, always tip generously. Always.

Not sure if I...

Just came through the Drive Thru at about 4:30 on the 11th of March with my sister. We frequently go to Beans and Brews because they have the best coffee but today, we had the best customer service of all time, didn't catch her name (hence the date), but she was super friendly. She asked all the questions, making sure we had everything we needed and even got us talking about our favorite dinos which was amazing because we had Dino tattoos so we were more than prepared for the conversation. Other than the outstanding customer service which was worth 5 starts by itself, we got our coffee with unimaginable haste and tasted of nectar straight from the gods. I don't know what kinds of magic you guys are practicing back there but it's working because this was the best service I have ever received. I will 100% recommend your store and come again soon to give you guys some better tips because they are well deserved. Thank you so much for the...
