Ive been here in the past before to Study for my Boards Exam. The music was popping at the the time--2 years later, it still is.Things you should know:I. LOCATIONOn Yelp, Caffè Bean shows up as the NY inspired Cafè Bene. I dont know if theyll ever correct it. Theres signage inside that still says Cafè Bene in a couple areas so Im unsure what the official name is. Parking is easy: you just park out front in the private parking lot. Free & no stress.II. SERVICENo complaintsIII. QUALITYStandard. Ive only gotten the coffee here.IV. CAPACITYpre-COVID, this business was bustling. But now, for a Friday morning, Caffè Bean is relatively bare. Hopefully business increases at the typical 3pm mark.
I came on Fri, Sep 3 at 12pm and the cashier lady was an older woman and she seemed annoyed when I ordered an espresso with ice on the side. She wasnt polite and silently walked away after I paid.Her coworker who stood there with my order just silently took my beeper machine and turned away wordlessly lol.Ummmmm..awkward?Update: Im waiting by the door for a friend and the same Cashier lady walked towards me and looked at me up and down. Im officially uncomfortable here.
Such an amazing place to get some breakfast or brunch and amazing drinks to go with it. My husband and I went here for our 5 year anniversary, its such a cute and chill place to talk. We had 2 waffles: a strawberry and a strawberry banana. My husband says its the best waffle he has ever tasted, and I agree. The whipped cream is home made, i can tell by the light weight and fresh taste. So many strawberries also, i love that they dont cheap out on fruits. I had a latte and my husband got a mango passion fruit smoothie which was so tasty and im not even the biggest fan of mango. Definitely come here!
Never really had a good experience with this cafe anytime I went. Might be good for those planning to stay for studying all day, but no menu is that excellent. The custom service really depends which employee you meet. Some might be friendly but that doesnt promise you professionalism. Eventhough I live near by, never thought if visiting with other cafe options available.
I had a good impression and experience in my first visit to this place. Its very casual, relax environment and super clean. I dont know much about their menu, but my mocha frappe was certainly good. We also had the the strawberry snowflake parfait and it was delicious; the down side is that it is BIG. I wish the portions where small like for 1 person so we could order the mango flavor too, but it was too big that we had to decide between strawberry and mango.Maybe take this is consideration! Please make the snowflake parfait portions for single person so we can try different flavors.
This is a great place to go to study. The atmosphere is nice. Its quiet and a little dark and they play music. The coffee was really good, and the gelato was good as well. Ill have to try something different next time, but I got the mocha and it was in a very big coffee mug. Very good. 👌🏽 The baristas were friendly. Seating was comfortable and lots of room for a lot of people to sit. Well definitely be back.
We were trying to get the bingsoo to go-ed. We called ahead to order but we were met with unfriendly customer service from the person who answered the phone. She told us that they stopped taking togo orders and we asked if that was a new change since we did have bingsoo to go a couple months ago. She told us that its been a couple of months that they stopped taking togo without any further explanation. The other time when we got bingsoo from them, the ice cream flavor was changed from vanilla to coffee without telling us. We could not eat the ice cream because we are sensitive to caffeine. We called to ask them, and again we were dealt with unfriendliness.We used to love their bingsoo, but I hope there will be some improvements in customer service so that many people would go back again!!
This is my first time here and I can say that I will definitely come again! The place is super clean. The atmosphere is very vivid and the decor makes this place one of a kind! The staff is great. We did not know what to order and they helped us figure out what to order. I loved the honesty, we were ordering a Strawberry Snowflake Parfait, one for each, but then I asked the cashier for the size of the parfait, he mentioned it was pretty big and that one was enough for both. He was definitely right. If he had not mentioned this, we would have been upset because we wouldve not been able to each one each. So happy to have been able to try something different. I also ordered the strawberrynana smoothi and it was super delicious. Prices are reasonable. Highly recommend this place. It is quiet enough for that coffee after a nice dinner.. or you can just come and enjoy as I did, with my husband. Will definitely come back to try more goodies from the menu!! Thanks Caffé Bene!!
This was my first time coming and it was such a cute date spot. I absolutely enjoyed my time and experience here. It was super quiet and had beautiful decor. Very Instagram worthy (if you are about that life). This place deserves recognition especially since there is a Starbucks at the end of every block or so in the suburbs. I got a waffle and my boyfriend bought himself a sandwich. Both were really delicious and our coffee was immaculate. The service was really nice and waited patiently as I was trying to decide what I wanted to eat. I appreciate that as a person who has worked in customer service for quite some time now. Thank you for having this place open so anti-Starbucks goons can have a place to enjoy and experience all on their own.
I enjoy trying new foods and places spontaneously and I drove to this place around 10.30 in the night as it claimed to be open until 11 PM. The place sure was open, but they said that the ovens were turned off; you might as well mention that somewhere so that people know that you are open only until 10ish even though you claim it to be 11. Disappointed. 2 stars coz the lady who serves or may be owns was polite enough to the customers and apologize for the disappointed experience.
Worst coffe place I could have asked for. 9.30am. Place was death and even so it took 30+ min to get 3 coffees and 2 breads.The customer service is mindnuming!!! Take your stupid hat on.Food selection is like a vending machine, small and poor.*Half the menu in MAPs is not right.* they will not honor the online menu.Price is incredibly outrageous!!! 7$ for a three inch hard! waffle with five pieces of fruit and ten cents worth of foam.The bread is like a brick, only difference this one came with chocolate drizzle, but instead I used it to fill in a missing brick in my house, so not a total loss.Now the coffee... (this place should be ashamed of the coffee)Sewer water would have being a mayor step up from the horrible, bland, undrinkable piss I received for almost 20$. Since they make a point to say no refunds or changes I did not even bother with the scholar of an employee I had already wasted 10 min making a order before.Food was bad, coffee was horrible, and service is mindnuming and to top it off prices require you to sell a kidney. Folks who really value coffe and love good food and service need to stay away. Dont be fooled!!!
Amazing coffee and desert! The Saigon coffee latte and oreo mocha bingsuu are favorites
Boutique-y feel with a rustic flair in terms of interior. The coffee is decent. Be advised the bathrooms only accommodate one person at a time, so knock! The staff emphasizes hygiene
Best place for a waffle and coffee! My wife and I loved it!
I decided to try Caffe Bean because I wanted a place where I could sit, catch up on emails and relax for a few minutes. That place used to be Starbucks, but they’re not allowing that in their stores.Caffe Bean is very large inside and the iced latte was excellent. I definitely recommend!
Amazing oat milk latte, super good strawberry waffle. Vibe is awesome, staff is super professional and nice! This place deserves more love!
I admit Im a bit fancy when it comes to coffee, but Ive come here twice trying to get a macchiato and end up getting what tastes like a cup of milk with caramel! Ive even specified what I found issue with and wished for with my drink, only to get the same drink back, bland, barely strong, and not foamed up like a normal machiato. This is a very casual spot, but I wouldnt expect life-changing flavor, its really just for the vibe and cute decorations and menu art. I would honestly advise going to Starbucks.Update** just finished my ice cream, all of this tasted like milk and not much else, and Im not losing taste from COVID-19 either, Im vaccinated lol. Idk you guys, like I said Ive tried to give this place several chances and I keep leaving disappointed
Rude. But honey bread band coffee was delicious.
They make a mean latte, and they did perfectly with my special request. I dont get an easy ordering experience all the time because of my drink specifications. They also have a great array of desserts and fun eats. I definitely recommend giving them a try. Theres a lot of seating, good lighting, and a whole wall of outlets which is perfect for an introverted workaholic like myself. And with hours closing at 11 PM, theyll definitely be my go to after work relax time. Dont forget to help the planet and enjoy your coffee in glass or ceramic! 😘
Very warm and cozy atmosphere. Staff is friendly and welcoming. Enjoyed my vanilla coffee and toasted muffin. Thank you Justin for your kind service. Definitely will be a returning customer.
Wish I would’ve taken pictures but this place is so cute & the food is super unique I went in for an iced latte and it was one of the best I’ve had in a long time! Wish we had one of these where I live!
This is my third visit to this little cafe. Their service is consistent. I absolutely loved my delicious Cafe-Mocha, and I especially appreciated the lovely coffee design! Their decor is very pleasing and modern, and the atmosphere is always one of peaceful tranquility. In our world today, I find this very attractive. As I get older I am finding myself shifting away from the standard trendy spots, and therefore focusing more on the local hidden gems. Although Cafe Bene is not a small mom/pop and is a franchise, it still offers something unique. Please check them out.
Barista does a good job with latte. Pretty crowded during certain times.
Very nice spot! Brought my daughter here to sit and chat and she loves it. Great teas and macaroons!
Have been here a few times. A lot of the drinks and desserts are way too sweet, such as the mojitos and the flavored lattes. The espresso is good though. Great staff. Its a nice place to study or hang out with friends
Amazing aesthetic food, always pretty and clean.
A delightful spot to grab a quick bite or to stop and stay awhile, solo or with a group of friends. As a patron of Caffe Bene over a handful of times, I have not once been disappointed. From a wide variety of beverages to savory eats to their sweet treats (Oreo Ice Parfait shown w/out whip cream), there hasnt been anything to put a frown on my face, or on anyone who has dined with me. I look forward to exploring more and more new eats, as well as repeating some faves in the years to come at Cafe Bene!
Congratulations! New hometown favorite! Love the Date Night option and the kids library.
We found this cafè last Thursday late night and we loved it .Amazing food and service
This is a hidden gem loved the atmosphere.
Cutest little coffee shop with a great menu and incredible staff. Highly recommend stopping by
Such a cute shop! I went when it wasnt busy, and they got my order and made my drink quickly. I really enjoyed their lavender iced latte.
Nice place and very friendly staff
A great variety of choices for both treats, eats, and drinks! Their honey bread is very popular and I strongly recommend it. For as good as everything tastes, it’s evenly matched with the polite and friendly service as well!
Very relaxing environment, pleasant staff. The desert there is quite great, I expect to come again real soon to order different items.
Great coffee shop. Dont compare it to a Starbucks. Its a lot better. They drink menu is unique. They have lattesi have never heard of but cant wait to try. Food is great too. I will need to go back and try more of the menu. Very relaxing atmosphere. Their customer service is also on point.
The hot Cafe Mocha was one of the best Ive tasted. The Tiramasu was good as well. A nice relaxing place to go after dinner.
I love going to this cafe. The employees are always nice and welcoming.
This is one of the nicest coffee and dessert places in the area. We got ours to go, but the place has super cool ambience. The macaron was delicious. The terimesu was good. The caramel honey cinnamon toast wss good but probably would have been better eaten right there. The to go packaging was first class and really made us feel like weve gotten something special.
Amazing ambience and even the littlest mocha will hit you right at spot.
The coffee was wonderful. I enjoyed a mint mocha and it was perfectly crafted. Job well done.
Not very friendly customer service. Did not feel very welcome as the gentleman behind the counter was not personable at all. When leaving, a female attempted to make up for this by saying come again which was a welcome gesture. Nice decor.
I really enjoyed this place. Found it on a whim, actually. The bread was really tasty and was filled with chocolate gelato. The caramel latte macchiato had great flavor and the process were decent. My only draw back would be the plastic utensils. Cutting into the bread, I was concerned that it might bend and snap, but other than that, everything was very good. I would definitely recommend it!
Drinks are alright not worth coming back for. But their seatings are good.
Beautiful scenery and nice, calm welcoming environment, loved their ice cream !! OMG A MUST TRY, great snacks - great place !!
Great place, but gave me MEGA gas
Excellent place 👍
Lots of seating, great coffee. Ill be back!
The cashier did not speak English well so be very clear with your order so it doesn’t get mixed up! They did a good job at fixing my order as soon as possible. Very nice place and a good environment to do work.Outlets are all in the back so you can’t sit in the cute middle area if you need to plug in your devices!
Unique place for a good coffee and dessert. Had the red bean parfait. And the server even brought over shot of espresso to pour over the top. Very nice experience for our first time.
Great study spot, lots of chairs and tables. The coffee is great too! They also have hand sanitizer everywhere for people to use which is great.1 downside: the chairs don’t sit under the tables...so be careful with your posture (:
Really nice study space and nice service!
Great place for a romantic date or a friendly catch-up. Your normal coffeehouse vibe. The coffee actually tastes good, unlike many chained cafés. (Yes you know what im talking about)
Caramel Latte Macchiato with extra sugar = goated🤪
Really nice place. The interior decor is really cool, I also appreciate how the inside of the restaurant is dimly lit, makes it relaxing. Their menu is pretty cool too.
Love the place and their snow flake
The coffee was excellent and the serving size was perfect. awesome atmosphere and decor.
This cafe shop has amazing ambiance and staff. the espresso is incredible
Very bad customer service! Why are employees so rude to customers?? Never come back!
Worst Latte I ever had.
Ordered a taro latte only to receive an iced drink. I politely informed her that I expected the latte to be hot, and that I couldnt even taste the coffee. They refused to make the drink hot, or to add another shot of espresso (if there even was one). They simply added more milk, taking away from the original purpose of a latte even more. Only reason I didnt give 1 star is because its clean inside and some of the workers were respectful.
Great Korean Influenced cafe my sister and i always go to. We enjoy the cinnamon honey bread and smoothies. Nice and quiet. Food made to order. I recently tried the pepperoni grilled cheese & i loved it! Great for small groups or couples. Also great for studying.
Good food,coffee and environment
Yummy! Triple Chocolate Honey Bread, White Mocha Latte. Quaint and cozy. Great place to study or catch up with a friend.
Great atmosphere and the iced Mocha I had was delicious and the place was very clean and the staff was very nice.
This is an absolute gem of a place. My 2nd visit to this place. Their desserts are fabulous. Tried the caramel bread chocolate something and it was HUGE and delicious. The ambience is very chilled out, tastefully done. The restrooms are huge and CLEAN. Great spot for a date, quick meet with friends. Highly recommended!
That might be the best strawberry / banana waffle ever!
The atmosphere is wonderful and their drinks and chocolate croissants are fantastic. Theyre also good with but groups that stay and talk and hang out on weekdays (not sure how busy they are on weekends), which is nice. Nothing worse than feeling rushed when out with friends.
We come to Caffe Bene all the time to study as well as eat/drink. The bao sandwiches are delicious and the desserts are amazing too!
Amazing atmosphere, great people, okay coffee. This wouldnt be a great place to go for coffee before work because the service is slow, but it is wonderful for studying, dates, or catching up with friends. The music is lovely and the staff is friendly
Really Bad Service from staff. The worst coffee shop ever.
Great environment to chill out!
Good
