The Human Bean

Human bean used to be my favorite spot to get coffee, and recently I’ve just been leaving disappointed. My all time favorite drink to get is a granita with hard caramel in the cup. It’s always blended so perfectly and chucks of caramel I get is one of the best parts, plus they always too with a coffee bean without asking which I absolutely love, and all I’d have to do is ask for a medium caramel granita and it would come the same way every time, caramel in the bottom and sides and perfectly blended drink that still had the taste of coffee, topped with a bean. Recently though for the past 10 times I’ve gotten one, I ask for a caramel granita and I either don’t get caramel at all, the drink tastes off, or they don’t give a bean or even offer one. Not that it’s hard at all, but now I’ve been having to make a real point to ask for hard caramel all around in the cup and even then, the baristas look at me like they’re confused and I get the smallest drizzle . I was so excited today when my fiancé grabbed me a granita and it came with lots of caramel like I like, and I took my first sip and it tastes horrible. There’s no flavor it doesn’t taste like coffee or caramel, just flavorless. I usually am never one to leave a review because I’d rather give people more than once chance, but like I said I’ve been trying for a couple weeks now, I’ve even tried to explain to them and for someone reason it seems to be the hardest thing for them to do. They’ve mentioned something about a new machine so it might be that. But apparently putting caramel in a cup and then using a machine to pour a drink has become the most hard and confusing thing as of a month ago. They’re normal so nice and make sure you’re getting what you want that’s why I love human bean and didn’t want to give up, but recently it’s like they’re just slapping it together to get it done. I even sat there while two of the baristas had a full chat about a machine over my drink for 5 minutes before they finally got my drink to me.

The girl was super friendly! She loved our puppy & asked if he would like a treat. She made it all fancy for a little extra. We got our drinks and they were yummy! Which was a Java Chip! I wasn’t expecting there to be ground up chips. My boyfriend told me was a Java Chip. I told him that makes more sense then. I was sitting there kind of munching on it. But, it was good. Trying something different sometimes brings the unexpected.Good experience for sure

The service here was fast and friendly. Drinks were pretty good- as expected!

The Mexi mocha and the caramel mocha are delicious. The barista was very kind and gave us whipped cream and espresso beans. This is a cute little location with a simple and dialed in menu. Reasonable prices, great service, amazing drinks. I would recommend.

I go there every week. The staff is wonderful; the drinks are prompt; the pay quite easy through the app. There is literally nothing bad to say about this place. Also, their mexi-mocha is superb, and I have had several mochas from places around town. Human Bean is just the better choice for coffee drinks, and their muffin tops are great, too. They offer some breakfast options like oatmeal cups and bagel sandwiches, so if you're looking for a place that does both, this is it. It's a drive-thru kiosk, btw. No dine-in options, in case that matters for anyone.

Great coffee and friendly staff.

I have always gone to the smaller location on Greenwood. Yesterday I was closer to the 9th st location so I stopped in. The two women who where working were so disrespectful and rude! I will never return or recommend this location! I have never had a barista treat me they way these two women did. They acted like I was a huge inconvenience to them and that my business didn’t matter to them. Snotty attitude when I asked questions about the drinks and flavors. I felt bad for the 1 guy working with those two.

Went here on Sunday and the place was pretty busy! The women inside were definitely working hard and cranking out some great coffee drinks! They had a smile on their face and we also got that token chocolate covered espresso bean! She also filled up a 1# bag of whole bean coffee for us! Will always be going back!

I recently switched to drinking lattes since it’s been cold out. I have an allergy to milk, so I order and pay for the milk alternative. TWICE they made my latte with normal milk. Human Bean Barista’s please be mindful when a customer orders an alternative milk. Allergies in general can be deadly. Your mistake cost me a full day, both times, of being sick.

Not sure if it's the coffee that's changed or my evaluation of it, but I used to think much more of what they serve. The last few times I've been spread out over a couple years when visiting it's been noticeably lacking in flavor. Can't speak to non-black coffee drinks as I never order anything else. The drive-thru layout is convenient, however.
