when i'm downtown and need some caffeine, i chose coffee bean over the starbucks across the street every time. i especially love their teas! Pros: better than starbucks
All reviews seem positive
In ShortHoney-colored oak and leaded glass give a homey touch to this California-based chain of specialty coffeehouses. Commonly referred to as the Bean, this purveyor of high-end blends--from dark roasts to oolongs--built its reputation on the international scope of its seasonal bean offerings (originating from Yemen to Hawaii) and a highly diversified selection of teas. Pastries encourage patrons to sit; espresso makers, French presses and coffee grinders let folks bring it home.
