What our guests are saying
I usually get the brown sugar iced latte and it's one of my favorites on their menu! The atmosphere almost always feels welcoming. Bella took my order a couple of times, and she was so kind. Will definitely be making Barley Bean a regular rotation when working from home :)

We visited Barley Bean Cafe Coffee for the first time as we had an offer through the offline app. We ordered a smoothie and two breakfast sandwiches. Everything tasted amazing, and the owner was very nice and friendly, he even gave us a sample of their cold brew, which was very good. We will definitely be going back again.

This is a great neighborhood spot to hang out and work or visit with some friends. The brunch on the weekends has a special menu including the Croissant French Toast- soooo yummy you will come back just for that. Whoever does the music has a great sense of history and milestone music with classic RB to A Tribe Called Quest playing at just the right level that you can work and converse but still enjoy. It has all the coffee drinks you could want and a decent selection of craft beers and wines. Breakfast menu is proper!!
