Central Bean Cafe

This quaint cafe is next door to our pup's groomer so decided to try it.It's pretty, clean cafe with wonderful service - very friendly; nice music in the background.I had cappucino with Sansrival cake - you get a massive slice. Its light meringue layers with buttercream and cashews - delicious, I thoroughly enjoyed it!They have sandwiches available, fresh & made to order. Large variety of caffeinated & non‐caffeinated drinks and of course sweets.Definitely be back to try other offerings.

Very quaint, cute family-owned cafe. I got to talk with the daughter and she explained that she runs the front of the house and all the drinks, and her mom does all the baking in the back! You can't get more authentic than that!I couldn't help but try a few things. There are not many places doing Filipino style desserts, so I gave in and splurged. I got a slices of Sans Rival ($8), original brazo de mercedes ($5), and ube brazo de Mercedes ($5), and of the three, the Sans Rival was my favorite. It tasted very light, but wish the meringue was a little crispier and there were more cashews. The brazo de Mercedes wasn't bad, but I think I learned that I'm just not a big fan of this dessert haha. The meringue roll outside was okay, but the filling was super dense. I know this wouldn't be traditional, but it almost needed a light cream or something to help marry the outside and inside. One piece of feedback I'd give the cafe is that the plastic take out boxes are very flimsy - I was scared one of my desserts would fall over or crush the one below it.Overall, very cute cafe to check out if you're in the area!

This place is the hole in the wall you want to stop by for dessert & coffee. The PERFECT desserts you can't find ANYWHERE else!!! The customer service is amazing also! The girl at the front was super helpful, sweet, and quick!The flavors of this place! OMG! Sooooo gooooddd!!!

A great find! My husband had mentioned this place to me and thought since we're in the area we would drop by and check the place out. It was a cute and quiet atmosphere. They had beautiful paintings up on the wall and plenty of area to sit down to and get some work done. Ariana was friendly, welcoming, and informative with all the questions I had about the drinks and pastries. She also offered pastry samples which was great because I wasn't too familiar with all of them. I ordered the ice white hazelnut latte with just the right amount of sweetness. I also ordered the Sansrival cake and the Silvanas cookie. I definitely enjoyed the Sansrival cake especially the Silvanas cookie! I love how soft and delicious the Silvanas cookies were. Every bite brings me back to the Philippines; such a nostalgic feeling. I bought a pack of 6 and didn't even want to share but I did of course share which made me realize I should have bought another pack! Check them out and please do try the Silvanas cookies they're an absolute delight!

TRY THIS PLACE OUT!!! You must get the Longginsa breakfast sandwich!!! I had the Nutella coffee it could have been stronger as far as the coffee but it was good and not too sweet. The Longgnisa breakfast sandwich was the star in my opinion! 10/10 must get! The sausage patty was house made it's sweet and salty, the bread pan de sal is also home made and it's delicious! It's a perfect balance! They due sell out because everything is house made so make sure to order early! The service was amazing! The owners are super sweet and welcoming! It's like you're having someone home cook meal in all the best ways! The inside is small but very cute decor! Try it out and tell 10 friends! Gotta keep this place around for a long time!

Dropped in this morning for a white hazelnut latte and tried the new Spicy Beef Breakfast Sandwich. 10/10. It's flavorful and not too big or greasy. Highly recommend!!

Amazing coffee and its right next door to my pets groomer. Can't wait to try other coffees.

For sure, this cute cafe is quite lovely and has such a nice collection of pastries and drinks alike! I enjoyed the Nutella latte and definitely the Silvanas cookies! I wish I had pictures of them but I couldn't resist it and finished it in a heartbeat I also appreciate how welcoming and peaceful the place is and the service itself was quick. Ariana was really helpful and informative with the products they have. All in all, this humbling place is worth a try and it's also nice to see amazing artworks shown. A nice touch of beauty :) I got to be back to try the other pastries

Chill atmosphere! Dessert and sandwiches ordered were yummy and savory. Ordered drink was a perfect balance of sweetness. Not in the picture is silvana, it's creamy, crisp and just the perfect sweetness.Mother and daughter team, very friendly people and atmosphere Will definitely come back
