I have been coming here with my parents ever since I was a child. All those years of driving an hour to Oriental and I don't think we've ever not stopped here!

Cute little place near the water. We stopped here twice while visiting family. My husband wanted to show me the area, as his mom lives near there. We grabbed some coffee and walked around. There were locals sitting on the porch with pups hanging out and chatting. The building overlooks the water, where there are some boat docks.We ordered the same coffees both times we stopped by. The first day, the girl was very nice, and prompt. The second day, the girl behind the counter (a different girl) seemed less than enthused to be there. The customer in front of us was clearly a local who had seen her several times, and was trying to chit-chat. She was basically telling him that she was starting college and leaving that town. She sounded very happy to be doing so, and like she could not wait to not be there.I am lactose intolerant, so I ordered almond milk. She gave me oat milk instead. When she gave it to me, she said it was oat milk. So, I asked again what it was, and she said oat milk, although that is not what I ordered. I drank it anyway, and didn't say anything. I hate wasting food. It was just very obvious that she heard the wrong thing, and made that intentionally, which just makes me think she was not really paying attention. Oat milk has a very distinctive taste, which I do not care for. It makes your coffee taste like oat milk, rather than coffee. I just really did not care for this girl's whole demeanor. Although, it does sound like she's off to college now. Good luck to her! The other girl was very pleasant.I thought this was an adorable spot, with good coffee. They use paper cups, which is better for the environment. It felt homey, but fun. I gave it a good review despite the wrong order because I think that was an isolated incident. I would love to be able to come hang out on the porch and have a coffee here a few times a week. What a location and what a nice vibe.

My wife wanted ice cream, and this place was mentioned as "the place" in Oriental for ice cream! I got a cappucino, (they have great coffee), and she ended up with a "frozen hot chocolate". Yeah, I had to wrap my head around that one too! But she thoroughly enjoyed it! When it's busy, there's a bit of a wait...

Honestly, the best iced latte I've had - the flavors were perfectly balanced with the espresso and almond milk, and the coffee ice cubes should be the standard at all coffee shops for iced drinks. I will be back and I highly recommend a visit for all.Vegetarian options: Oat, almond, and soy milk options

Coffee/ice cream. Wonderful little gem. Service was fantastic young man at the counter was very busy, he answered questions while patrons were talking amongst themselves before they had to ask. He was quick and very kind. Ice cream was hard scooped on sugar or cake cones. Good flavor choices.Dietary restrictions: They had a sugar free ice cream option

The Bean is the morning g spot to be. Sit back and have some wonderful coffee or hot tea while you watch the boats come and go from the harbor. Even if you are just visiting the folks will make you feel as if you're at home here. Come see for yourselves.
Been coming here for years, it’s always so good. Especially the affogato (espresso + ice cream) is my favorite ?
