The manager is inconsiderate - it’s way too hot inside! Was sweating profusely, my entire visit was ruined by the incendiary conditions. Baristas are skilled and kind but I couldn’t focus on that with the HEAT

I like the Bean, especially because of friendly staff and affordable prices. Coffee here is average, and you can pick many vegetarian options.
It's one of my favorite breakfasts - bagel with cream cheese and salmon. Unfortunately, last time when I tried it, bread was like a stone, and it was impossible to bite it. I'm not sure if it is because of the kind of bagel or because it was from yesterday, but could you please change a bagel for it softer version?

What a nice place. Been impressed of this coffeeshop with a local vibe. Quick and friendly service, nice atmosphere with good music and as a visitor from Germany I mostly appreciate the blasting air-con that we don't have anywhere. Such a refreshing visit, loved the table with the unique storefront pictures by James& Karla. Classic NY. Must comeback to try the unique drinks like Mona Lisa & co.




Solid spot for your morning cup of Joe!
I got a large chai latte and it was piping hot and delicious. Clean and reliable!

First time I came a couple of weeks ago, this cafe was perfect! No music at all. One could actually hold a conversation.
Second time today, the music was so loud you couldn’t hear yourself think!
Cafes are places to congregate and communicate! No music policy will actually bring in more high value customers!

Best smoothies! Why? Full of organic veggies and fruit (your choice)--not filled with ice.
*****Now I know where I can get a very nutritious, filling, delicious liquid meal and avoid brain freeze. *****
Served by very kind, caring staff too--real good, hard-working people.
Open until 9 PM unlike mostly any other place that offers organic smoothies.

The best coffee/smoothie/bowl shop in the East Village! The Bean does it all - great coffee and food, excellent atmosphere to work, study, meet friends and even take meetings. Across all of The Bean's locations, you feel like you're in a familiar and comfortable place. Everyone who works here is very kind and helpful. Can't wait to keep visiting The Bean!
