I've been a customer since they opened. coffee is excellent. arguably better than Starbucks. egg sandwiches, the best in town! Inarguably better than Starbucks. fresh eggs, choices of spinach, cheese, avocado, bacon, ham, bacon!

A must stop while in Cheshire. The coffee, service and atmosphere could not be any better.

Had a great first time visiting here. Customer service was very sweet and helped us decide which flavors of coffee to try. My fiance and I decided to try the egg sandwiches and weren't disappointed. Their sausage was flavorful but not overpowering. I had a croissant and she had an English muffin which both tasted fresh. Prices were also very reasonable compared to other nearby breakfast/coffee shops! Will definitely be returning!

I live in New Haven and the bean coffee roaster happens to be on the way to our veterinarian's office on Sandbank Rd. in Cheshire. I said I'd like a strong coffee. The person working recommended Sumatra. I got it home and it was very weak and undrinkable. I called them and told them my name and they said they'd comp me a coffee next time I was in the area. I should have gotten the name of the person but I assumed they'd honor their word. I went back yesterday (Thurs. the 4th) This time the owner was there. She was both dismissive and indifferent and had a nasty attitude. She claimed none of her employees left her a note saying I was unhappy with my Sumatra coffee. She refused to even look thru her paperwork. How she thinks she can remember a few weeks back with the hundreds of customers she's had is beyond me. I guess she must have a photographic and extraordinary memory! She made me a coffee with a shot of espresso AND CHARGED ME FOR THE ESPRESSO besides! She also told me never to come back. On top of all this when I got THIS coffee home IT WAS AS WEAK TASTING AS THE FIRST ONE WAS A COUPLE WEEKS BACK! In my opinion she is a terrible business owner!!

I visited The Bean Coffee Roasters this week. They're a small coffee shop/roaster in the back of a building on a main drag in Cheshire. They have some seating within the mix of the giant coffee roaster area. There were a few people hanging out and people coming and going. The shop was cute, but they were fitting a lot into a little space too. I ordered a black iced coffee. I asked what they used and they just told me it was a medium roast. I assume that means they're using a blend of some sort since you would tend to highlight a high end Single Origin coffee if somebody asked. In any event, service was friendly and efficient. The iced coffee was above average. Smooth. Drinkable. No aftertaste. But it didn't really have any of the flavors of a high end coffee used for iced coffee. Four Stars

Really cute little coffee shop. We stopped in for some iced coffee (they use coffee ice cubes ) and I ended up buying some adorable earrings too! Will definitely make this our regular Cheshire spot for coffee
Tara is wonderful. She remembers her clients and is attentive to their needs. This is a great place to stop in and grab a quick cup of coffee, to sit and relax with a friend or to meet for a business conversation .

The interior is small. There is a medium size kitchen table with four chairs, and two smaller tables with a couple of chairs at each. So, this is more of a grab and go spot than a sit and sip place. I was impressed to hear all about how they roast their coffee beans and make their own flavored syrups in house. I ordered the Frosty's Favorite as a latte with oat milk. I was disappointed when I tried my latte because it didn't taste like much of anything. I actually ended up pouring my coffee out. I think I took 3-4 sips and that was all I could stand. The latte lacked body and coffee flavor. There wasn't even an aroma which typically comes from a good cup of any type of coffee. The entrance is located at the back of the building. There is plenty of parking. Sadly, I will not be returning. I LOVE my coffees, lattes, cappuccinos, etc. and the latte I got from this place fell pretty short. Perhaps it was an off day.

Hard to find, no clear signs up front that it is all the way around back. 1 person working and took a long time to make our coffee and sandwiches. Iced latte was just milk and chunky flavor barely any espresso. Our bacon was completely black and burnt unedible. The fried egg was also burnt. The place was smoking because our sandwiches were so burnt. I took one bite out of me sandwich and my friend couldn't even eat hers. We threw our entire order out and are going somewhere else to eat now. So disappointed.

The Bean is a wonderful coffee shop that serves mindfully sourced local roasts with creative flavors. I have tried a few of the specialty roasts that they have had on drip and loved each of them. They use the previous day's tap roast for their iced coffee and their Baja roast for their cold brew, both of which are served with coffee ice cubes. The decor is cool and unique, featuring a vintage coffee roaster, concert posters, coffee paraphernalia, an antique radio, plush leather chairs (a coffee shop requirement, imo), and a skeleton. The owner and staff serve amazing coffee with small-town nostalgia and a smile. I live in New Haven, and The Bean is easily seated miles above most of the spots in NHV in my ranking of local-ish coffee shops.
