Bean - Florence

I was traveling through and had to stay overnight due to unexpected car troubles. I saw the very high reviews for this coffee place and had to check it out before leaving the area. It was the BEST caramel latte that I ever had. I definitely can see why it has had such a very high ratings. Customer service was top notch. I have been wanting another latte but unfortunately will not be back through there. If I lived in the area, I believe I would be stopping through at least 3 to 4 times a week. Good thing I dont as my bank account would be hurting! ? Keep up the great work!

I 've visited Bean Bar about 6 times in the last 2 months. It 's hard, really hard, to find a good latte anywhere in SC.So the first time I visited I was happy with the quality of my latte. Most of their syrups are made in house, I tried the caramel and it 's very good. They use an absolutely phenomenal roaster and get an incredible bean that 's full and rich. However it 's the atmosphere, staff, something that is just very unfriendly, extremely unwelcome feeling. Their whole process is ridicule from the moment you walk in. You are greeted by an employee when you walk in. You tell that person your order. They will question you multiple times as they write it down. It 's so much back and forth.While someone else ,#2, stands there looking at you. They 1st person yells order and hands the card the #2 person who was standing there looking at you the whole time you are telling #1 your drink.#2 then pulls your shots and stops.A third person now get involved and starts making, building the cup. It 's been at least 7 min by now. EVERYTIME it 's like this. By 12 minutes you have 1 iced drink.There 's one much older lady there that is very sweet and kind, I don 't know how she stands to be there with the rest. It 's so unfriendly.This week we were greeted by a new sign on the door. And it just topped it all off.We will never be back.The sign says they will now be closed on Wednesday. Ok fine. Your closed 2 days a week now. But you had to put up a stupid sign up. Every Wednesday we will be closed to make sure our full time staff doesn 't get over worked What a joke! I never laughed so hard in my life. I was a barist for years, worked 60+ weeks. Easiest, chill job I 've ever had. I don 't know if the owners are looking for a pat on the back or what but if your barista can 't work 40 hours a week with two days off and be okay then something 's really wrong. And I don 't want to support that.I can 't even finish writing this cause I 'm laughing so hard at that stupid sign. I can 't even with these people.

Just driving through town and made a quick stop! They were helpful, kind, and made sure I liked what I got (which I loved! . Everything was super good, atmosphere and staff is great! definitely recommend coming here!

I absolutely love this place. The vibe, the coffee, the atmosphere is all excellent. So thankful for such a great coffee shop!

Was welcomed in as a 1st timer! Menu and information about the company was given. The coffee thing they have it down as a science….it was flavorful I was able to taste each part of the coffee (especially the dark chocolate) this coffee had me ready to dance! On top of that it’s organic! The pastry a pound cake a raspberry blend with a lemon drizzle on it was the bomb! Tasteful and excellent on the pallet, I will be back again hands down!Thank you to everyone that served me this morning what a blessing!
