Was in town for a work conference and needed a pick me up. Adorable interior and very friendly staff. I got an iced Emerald Isle latte which is pistachio and white chocolate. Yum! I also got the tomato and hummus sandwich on sourdough. That was very simple but yummy and a perfect afternoon snack. They also had a basket of mini paper cranes to take when you picked up your food. Very charming! Overall, I'd stop in again.
Solid cup of coffee. I really enjoyed the vibes. I had an Americano. It was really good. They also have a bunch of pastries that looked good, but I didn't have any.
The staff are so friendly and it feels like a quintessential coffee shop. You just feel like you belong! The decor has a definite charm and the coffee and donuts were great!
Super friendly staff and customers.. Felt like we all knew each other.. Food was great and coffee was even better.. Reasonable price and rather spend my money at local shop than the big chains around.. When i'm back in Connecticut will be stopping here again.. Also got a cool mu
Top notch service! They have a nice list of syrups to add to your coffee. I asked if they had any sugar free options and to my surprise they had more than just vanilla and caramel. They have a toasted marshmallow and I was intrigued! The nice barista mentioned having it with Caramel it's very good. I asked if I can have it made less sweet. She said absolutely. SOLD! The prices are very reasonable. The bars it's was right. I loved it! She even checked in later with me if I enjoyed it. I would definitely come here for another cup not only because their coffee is good but they value their customers.
Stopped here after seeing such amazing reviews and quickly tasted why! Delicious drink, one of the best muffins I've ever had before, and I bought a cute coffee mug that they had for sale. Limited seating, but thankfully I was just grabbing to go real quick. Friendly staff and service!
Met someone here which was 1/2 way for both of us this morning. I could tell minus looking at the reviews that this is a popular spot. Not so busy at 8:30/9:00 on a Monday but there were a large group of older gentleman sitting outside enjoying their time. They are clearly regulars as there was a very tamed dog that kept going in and out of the back of the car parked on the busy road. Plus I am pretty sure I counted three or four people that honked at them. Anyways. Large area to sit outside, don't know how often staff come out to clean the tables off. I had a medium hot chocolate and a warmed up coffee cake, she had some kind of coffee and a breakfast sandwich. I enjoyed mine, hot chocolate probably not the best choice in may. The owner on her day off walked past us with her kid and wife and asked how everything was. We assumed before she introduced herself as the owner that they were from out of town. She then went on and told us the story of how she started out here and I could tell that she is very passionate about her work and wants the best out her food and staff I'm giving four stars today. I know we'll be back and I will have to have a better combination of food to really change to a five which it is in many ways as well as take some pictures.
The Bean 226 is a tiny but super busy coffee shop. I was here on Saturday, there was hardly a spot to sit. They have a huge selection of beautiful mugs right by the front counter, not the best spot, since they could easily get knocked over. They have some locally made items for sale. There was art, jewelry, tee shirts, and more. It seems to be a very community oriented coffee shop. They have a whole variety of baked goods, as well as sandwiches they can make. I got the Banana Split Latte. It was ready quickly. I found a spot by the window on a bar stool. This latte was very tasty and frothy, but I couldn't taste any banana in it. It was still a bit sweet from the chocolate in it. They had a ton of available seats outside, it is still too cold to utilize those for now. I had a pleasant experience at The Bean 226, and will be returning soon.
