Popped in for a self date breakfast since my boyfriend was out with the boys and I didn't feel like cooking for myself. The restaurant is counter service so you are greeted by a barista as you enter and can place tour order promptly. Despite being mainly a coffee shop they offer a nice selection of breakfast and lunch options as well as several beers on tap. I ordered the brown sugar cinnamon myracle latte ($6.50) which was delicious! It was a great balance and perfect temp to drink when it came out. For brunch I ordered the Chicken & Waffles ($15) which came out quick, hot and fresh! I was surprised to see that the buttermilk fried chicken was actually a chicken patty and the spicy maple syrup just tasted like regular maple syrup but the meal was still enjoyable. I would say they should rephrase the menu description a bit to better manage expectations.

Barley Bean is a super cute coffee shop with great natural lighting, lots of seating both indoors and outdoors, and plenty of outlets for those working from anywhere. They have a full food menu and offer a variety of drinks, including beer. I ordered the breakfast tacos, but unfortunately, they were pretty bland, even with the salsa. For drinks, I ordered a hot Matcha Latte with Oat Milk, and it felt like a warm hug perfect for a cold day. Since I came on the cusp of breakfast and lunch, I saw a customer wanting a beer, however, the staff was unknowledgeable with the options, which led to some customer frustration. It might be helpful for the staff to familiarize themselves with the beer offerings and have some notes to better assist customers.

Okrrr, cute Barley Bean. You have a lot going for ya. And for fans of coffee... and pastries and gelato and pizza ....and wine, beer, snacks, etc.Ya heard right. Barely Bean offers more than just beans - they have beer (hmmm, hence the name?!) and all of the aforementioned. My bestie Katie B and I were on a morning walk with furbabe Ron Bear and dropped in for some morning coffee. So many options, but I went for a alt milk latte. Drink was hot and warmed me up just right.

Stopped by for a quick lunch and got the chicken salad croissant sandwich and damn it was delicious! I love the croissant bread and the chicken salad was great. It comes with a side and I chose chips and got a bag of lays with my order. Cute outdoor patio space and some indoor seating as well. Service was quick - food came out in less than 5 minutes!

Always a delight. The baristas are so nice and helpful and willing to bring whatever recipe I come up with to life. They have both tables and a couch area and great WiFi. Round that out with pastries, a full lunch menu and wine and beer and there's no need to ever go anywhere else.

coffee is delicious, vibes are good, however the owner was making rude comments to his worker when she accidentally got my order wrong when she was told otherwise by another worker. it was making me uncomfortable and customers were watching as he had a talk with her in front of everyone.

This is a great coffee shop in a very convenient location. I like how they have dedicated parking spots. I had an iced matcha latte which was very refreshing! This was a nice spot to meet up and catch up. Very relaxing.

I ordered an iced matcha latte, and unfortunately it wasn't great. When it came out, I saw that it was that pale green color where you know it will just taste super milky and lack matcha flavor. They do offer either an unsweetened matcha or a sweetened matcha, and I chose the sweetened one. While I doubt my choice would've made a different in terms of overall taste as it really comes down to how the matcha is made, I do appreciate that they have options. A positive to Barley Bean though is that the barista who took my order was super friendly and patient. Additionally the shop has a good amount of seating options, and while they do share a parking lot with the adjacent apartment building(?) they do have spots reserved for customers. While their matcha wasn't very impressive, I would go back and try out their coffee if I'm ever in the area again!

Barley bean is the best. Not only do they serve quality coffee, but their food is surprisingly very good. I ordered an omelet and it was high quality and served shortly after ordering. Today I ordered the Vanilla Pistachio Rose Cardamom Latte with sweet foam which is on the fall favorite menu. During the seasons, I always look to see if businesses have holiday drinks, and if they do that is a plus in my book. The drink was nice, warm, and flavorful as I tasted the vanilla and subtle pistachio rose. Cardamom lattes are one of my favorites because they are sweet and typically mix well with different syrups. Barley bean is a good place to get some work done if you WFH but not the best place to do so. The music can be on the louder side, so if you need some small tasks to be done then that would be easier to do here. The employees are really great at recommending drinks and food, they have not done me wrong before. In addition, the shop also has games like chess. I haven't played in years but when I played with my friend is was like I never stopped. It was a fun activity to do as we finished our drinks. There is also an outdoor patio full of seating. Parking is located in the back, typically I do not struggle getting a parking spot but if it gets packed then I could see that being an issue. Overall, great place, sometimes I wish they had a drive thru for quick visits but typically they are always pretty quick!

Love the options and flavors here! Staff are friendly and helpful. They even have a separate plant based menu. However, the plant based menu does not mean "vegan"The biscuit has buttermilk in it. Not sure what else, that's the only one I asked about. I wish they would make the plant based menu 100% plant based and vegan friendly. Hopefully one day in the future!
