The last time I visited, there were no other available seats, so I ended up sitting at a four-seat table. I ordered a coffee and something to eat and worked for a couple of hours. However, I was then told, “Next time you come in alone, could you sit somewhere else?” I was a bit taken aback. After that experience, I found myself returning to Starbucks, as it honestly left a bad taste. Still, wanting to support them, I gave Buckin Bean another chance. I even started bringing clients for coffee. Then, I came across a post stating that Buckin Bean was struggling due to nearby construction. Last week, I had a Zoom call in about five minutes and considered going to Starbucks, but I decided to give Buckin Bean another chance instead. I ordered my coffee and was about to sit down when the barista informed me, “Just so you know, if we get busy, I’ll have to limit your laptop time to an hour.” That was it for me. I hate to say it, but I’ll be sticking with Starbucks from now on, where I feel welcomed and not like a hassle for being a customer.

Kid-friendly: There's a nice bonus with Pioneer Park located right across the street. Wheelchair accessibility: They have a spacious wheelchair ramp available.

They offer a wide variety of alternative milk and syrup options, and they're able to pull both single and double shots! The prices are very reasonable, and the space is large and open, contributing to a great atmosphere overall. Plus, there’s a huge playground right across the street. I wish there were vegan pastry options available, but I was just happy to find a place that serves triple lavender oat milk lattes! For those with dietary restrictions, they provide plenty of alternative milk choices suitable for both vegans and vegetarians.
