The Wild Bean Coffee Shop

Such a cute little coffee shop! They have a specialty coffee flight once a month that is paired with a special dessert. You can get the flight hot or cold and the serving size for each one is quite large. This month's flight night was paired with macarons. It gets busy during these times but they are delicious and worth the wait. The staff were very friendly even though they were working very hard to keep up with the demand. They are attached to an equally cute bakery so we just got some yummy baked goods as we waited for our coffee flight.

Stopped in while out for a bike ride, needed a Dragonberry Lemonade refresher. Well it was good enough to be review worthy! Great friendly neighborhood place that is highly recommended.

I was visiting the wife's family in MN for the holidays and was looking for some good espresso. We came from Maplewood and it was a 5-10 minute drive. This is a cozy and small coffee shop. We went around 10:30am on a weekday and they were pretty busy. I ordered an iced Americano and the cinnamon twist.16oz Iced Americano - 4 Star - Smooth, bold and easy on the palate. It was missing the subtle nodes of flavor I like in my espresso but was clean and easy to drink down to the last sip. Cinnamon Twist - 4 Star - Was basically a nice soft cinnamon roll stretched out. Plenty of cinnamon flavor but a little overly sweet with the icing on top.

What a cute little gem in the heart of Mahtomedi. Being newer to the area I love supporting small businesses. This one is family owned and operated and when I walked in at 10am on a Friday morning and it was PACKED, not an empty seat to be had - which means to me it is the place to be. Not only do they have coffees, teas, lattes but they also offer sandwiches (even with gfree bread! - yay so I will be back to try those). This visit I ordered a soy chai latte...my go to. It was creamy, nutty and delish! They also sell cute stickers of which I bought 3 and other cute cards and trinkets. Looking forward to trying something new on my next visit.

Awesome little coffee shop! Perfect for your morning pic me up before heading to the farmers market. I've tried their seasonal cold brews and loved them both! I don't know how the food is, but would like to check it out sometime.

Atmosphere: 5!Local: checkIntimate: checkCleanliness: 5Service: 4So when you look at the above, do you wonder why I could only award The WBean only 3 stars? The Wild Avocado Salad is a plain salad with avocado DRESSING, $8.50 with no avocado. Maybe I ordered the wrong items-maybe the breakfast sandwiches would have been a better choice. Or maybe the avocado toast?The strawberry smoothie was up to par and a delightful refresher on a summers day.

Stopped in here for some breakfast sandwiches and coffee this am. The coffee was good but a bit strong, and my cappuccino, while expertly made, was too large - I couldn't finish. Also I wish they had 2% milk as an option; currently only whole and skim. The breakfast sandwiches were good, they are made to order which is nice and the english muffins were very tasty! Other bread options if you don't want a muffin, but that's our bread of choice. We also split an old fashioned donut which was fantastic; a great breakfast treat. Definitely would make a repeat stop if I lived in town!

The Wild Bean has Excellent atmosphere, great staff, with multiple options including a treat.

This is a great little local coffee shop with really good breakfasts (we each had a breakfastand some of the best chai (great spiciness!!) and good coffee in the northern suburbs. It was a bit crowded and noisy on a Saturday morning, but it would be really pleasant on a warm day when you could sit on the patio. Can't wait to try it again......

2 stars: Location and communityWhy not 5 stars: A few years back it would've been 5 stars, but since new ownership over the last two years, it has slowly gone downhill. The biggest complaint would be paying $35 for four sandwiches, only to find the ciabatta is completely soggy on half and brick hard on the other half... literally inedible. I've talked to the owner and employees *multiple* times about this for years and there has been no resolve. This occurs about 80% of the orders. As much as I love the local place, another concern is cleanliness. With the same gloves, the barista took orders on the register, made coffee, made sandwiches with meat, opened the freezer to get the soggy/hard bread, used the microwave, dug their hand into the chip bag, got a bakery item out of the case, and fixed their hair. Upon leaving, the same gloves were still on. This completely breaks my heart to leave this review because I want to see this place succeed, but management has got to step it up and take initiative. If things change, I'll update the review.
