Great customer service! Not your average coffee shop unique, homemade flavors along with owners that go out of their way to make each drink special.We have also had two of their special order Strawberries Bomb Layer Cakes. Perfect both times. Perfect for family celebrations. We forgot to take pictures because everyone gets too excited to dive in.

We have been wanting to try Bean and Leaf for a while and it did not disappoint. Me, my husband, and 3 small children arrived with no idea what we wanted but knew we were looking for something sweet. The owner was so patient and made great recommendations. Hubby got a Reeces caramel shake that he said is one of the best he’s ever had, we also ordered a mango frappe bubble tea- yum!, a bananas foster coffee and a basic chocolate fudge sundae. All delicious. We will be back!

Support small businesses!!!!! They have a variety of different drinks and coffees hot or cold. I had the americano Vietnamese latte and it was really good not too sweet at all just the right amount. They do offer a place to sit and play games they have different board games you can enjoy while enjoying your coffee. Give them a try guys

A bit of a hidden gem, I've driven past many times but never knew this cafe was here until just recently. Got a few different items and they were all really good. They make really good coffee based drinks and their ice cream mixes are fantastic. The onigiri is also delicious and as far as I know, the only place around that serves them!
