The Human Bean was one of my favorite drive thru coffee of my youth and I always stop there whenever on the west coast. So glad to have found you on this side even if you're almost an hour drive away, you're still worth it Baristas are nice and friendly. Drinks are tasty, even the granitas. They have several picnic tables out so it's not strictly a drive thru. It's nice to be able to chill while enjoying your drink out in the nice weather.

Nice staff and yummy treats. Their outdoor sitting area is located perfectly to be in the shade in the morning hours (but there are also umbrellas on the tables)

I’m so happy this location opened near me! Great staff, good coffee, good sandwiches. Endless drink combinations with the huge choice of customizable flavors and milk options. Significantly more flavor choices than Starbucks. Their plain espresso is also way better than Starbucks, I usually add an extra shot to most of my drinks. The chocolate covered espresso bean adds a nice touch!

Very clean and quick drive-thru experience! Staff was friendly and the Irish Creme Breve I got was quite nice as well - a solid place to visit for some nice coffee (their smoothies are decent too).

I've had coffee from all over the world and I was surprised that I really liked the Americano here! I added a shot to the 16 oz ( I like strong coffee) and it was good! Not bitter nor mild! The sausage egg bagel was also surprisingly good and a perfect size! The spinach and feta pretzel sandwich was great too!

I was pleasantly surprised by this drive-thru! The service was fast and friendly, and my breakfast sandwich was absolutely delicious. The ingredients were fresh and the flavors were perfectly balanced. The coffee was strong and flavorful. I'll definitely be back to try more of their menu.

Support your local coffee shops!!! I have been searching for a great alternative to Starbucks. This is it. Extra points because the baristas are so kind.
