Tried Blue Bean for the 1st time today! I never really knew that there was a full service coffee shop in addition to the 'office space' element. Madi helped me and she was super friendly and did a great job offering suggestions and explaining the ins/outs of Blue Bean! The latte I had was excellent and the atmosphere and large amount of 'office rental' options available at BB were super cool and inviting.

We reserved a table and 4 flights days before we arrived. When we got there, no tables were held for our group. The space is not as comfy/aesthetic as I hoped but the coffee flights were delicious! We each customized ours and ordered the dutch apple toast which was tasty. Wish they had more food options and better seating.

It is quite pricey but overall we loved the drink flights and toast flight. Very speedy and friendly service but definitely was the most expensive meal of our trip to Iowa.

Pistachio latte was great. I definitely want to go in and try the flights some time.

Delicious coffee and the flights are fun. Definitely not family oriented as there are no high chairs accessible nor changing tables in the bathroom. Just wanted to meet another mom out for coffee but it's hard to enjoy the coffee/flights with having to hold our babies in our laps the whole time!

I highly recommend. My husband and I have been going here since we moved to Iowa a little over 2 years ago. We love the staff and their coffee is amazing.

The manager was rude and literally snubbed her nose at me.

I normally work from home, but my internet went out so I decided to work from Blue Bean. The atmosphere was great with plenty of space to sit and plug my laptop into a power outlet. The staff was friendly and helpful. I got a coffee flight and a toast flight. They were both great! I will definitely go back. I highly recommend it.

Flights were very good but we waited one and a half hours for the flights. We were never told that it was a wait at all. We waited 50 minutes before we said anything and asked what the wait was for and she said they're backed up and we waited another 45 minutes for our flights after. We just ordered one flight each. Would not recommend due to the lack of urgency let alone paying 30+ dollars and not being informed of the outrageous wait when you see people coming and going with single drinks around you.

GreT food and different. The toast combination platter was scrumptious. Loved the coffee sampler as well. Iced chi tea latte was perfect.
So fun trying all the different flavors.
