Bean Bar

The Bean Bar has really good coffee. I can’t speak about any food as we didn't eat there. The coffee is organic as are their other ingredients too. They make their own syrups, also. They support a couple local food establishments that you can pay for through an app, kinda cool. Plus they have homemade pastries, etc. The place is clean, a good amount of seating (tables, hi-tops, couches, counters...) They also sell merch for the shop, I bought an awesome tarot inspired t-shirt. The staff was really friendly and helpful. Our coffee was served quickly and it was hot. ☕️☕️ If we lived in Florence I'd wish the hours were later (depending on the day they close either 3 p.m. or 5 p.m.) I like an afternoon coffee and can usually get there before 3 but sometimes and it would be great for an after dinner coffee stop but i don't live there 🤷 Next time we're in Florence we'll stop in though. Happy Coffeeing ☺️

⊰════════════════ TLDR ════════════════⊱ Bean Bar is local café in a space surrounded by nature with various drinks and food and an comfortable atmosphere. Whether you find yourself stopping by after a walk on the trail, talking with family or friends, craving a sweet drink, or even working, it’s one of those places that feels genuinely lived-in and loved by so many locals! ⊰═══════════════ REVIEW ═══════════════⊱ I’ve been coming to Bean Bar ever since it first opened in 2020, and over the years it’s easily become my go-to drink spot here in Florence. At this point, there are very few drinks on the menu that I haven’t tried, which honestly says a lot considering how often I end up here with my family. It’s become one of those places tied to routine, comfort, and memories for me. ➤ FOOD/DRINKS: [Ordered over the years: iced mochas, hot chocolate, seasonal/specialty drinks, tried every regular-menu latte, Chicken Salad Bagel. ] Over the past year, I’ve noticed the mocha’s flavor profile has shifted slightly--not necessarily better or worse, just different. It could honestly be due to changes in syrup formulation, espresso balance, or milk ratios. Regardless, it still remains one of my go-to drinks and longtime menu staples, just like the hot chocolate is another standout for me: it’s thick, creamy, and rich without feeling overly sweet. One thing I especially appreciate is the variety of milk options available. As for the floral drinks, their flavor presence is definitely noticeable. They’re not usually my personal preference, though I still enjoy trying them every now and then. (Some of my friends absolutely swear by the lavender honey drinks!!) There’s also a nice section inside for snacks, grab-and-go meals, bottled drinks, and merchandise. While the merchandise can be a little pricey, I really adore the coffee mug stickers and often buy them as small gifts for friends. ➤ SERVICE: One thing that genuinely stands out to me after all these years is seeing many of the original workers still there. They make a real effort to remember regulars and create a sense of familiarity with customers. Although I don’t come in nearly as often as I used to, they still smile, wave, and even remember how to pronounce my name properly, which honestly means a lot. One small thing I’ve noticed over the years is that certain food items, especially bagels, can sell out fairly often. **Because of that, I usually tell newer visitors or family members to ask if something is available first before ordering it directly. **My only suggestion here would be from my own expereince: after coming home from my college, there's a student-run cafe that operates similarly and is extremely busy during class changes. They avoided this occurrence by having a small sign/whiteboard that would actively list the sold-out items near the register to help make things a little clearer for customers during busier hours. ➤ ATMOSPHERE: The atmosphere is honestly one of Bean Bar’s greatest strengths. It’s a place that naturally encourages people to slow down, talk, and stay awhile. I usually come here with my family, all of whom love the environment just as much as I do. What makes the space feel especially memorable is how connected it is to the outdoors. Between the greenery, nearby trail access, open-air feeling, and surrounding local businesses, the café feels integrated into the community rather than isolated from it. ⊰════════════ FINAL THOUGHTS ═══════════⊱ Honestly, this review has been long overdue. Over the years, Bean Bar has become one of those places I naturally return to whenever I want a familiar drink, a comfortable atmosphere, or time with family and friends. A lot of memories for me are tied to this café--from coming here regularly when it first opened to still recognizing many of the original workers today. If you ever find yourself in the Florence area, I genuinely recommend stopping by. Whether it’s for a drink after a walk, a quiet morning, or simply to sit and talk with people, Bean Bar has a warmth to it that keeps me coming back.

I cannot believe I haven’t written a review for Bean Bar yet. I’ve been coming here for close to 5 years now and is literally one of my favorite coffee shops. The environment is so welcoming, you are immediately greeted with “hey welcome in” upon walking inside. Coffee/tea and food items are delicious (pls bring back pizza bites 😩), especially the coffee syrups because they are all made in house. I look forward to some seasonal items all year. I always recommend Bean Bar to anyone I meet. My family from out of town have tried it several times and really love it! Apart from serving excellent food and coffee, Bean Bar has become such an important part of our lives. We’ve shared some life altering news to friends, celebrated milestones, birthdays, new beginnings and everything else life has to offer within the four walls of this coffee shop. Our kids have literally grown up going there and now recognize the staff members. This establishment is so much more than a coffee shop and I am so proud to be one of its regulars.

Wonderful spot!!! Clean, welcoming, and everything we tried was delicious! Lavender honey latte was outstanding, and both the pound cake and breakfast sandwiches were super. Even shared a tiny bite with my travel companion 😉 who gave it a 100% paw of approval. Keep up the great work!

WOW, just amazing. I ordered a caramel latte and it is made with homemade caramel sauce. Flavor just tastes natural and not that nasty syrup. Spinach and artichoke pinwheels were a nice touch for breakfast
