The Bean Story…


Our Story
It's a place for people.
The Bean is a place to study, socialize or just enjoy some delicious coffee and dessert. We designed and decorated our space to be a unique place that people like to come to. We want The Bean to be a place where everyone feels at home. Whether you are a coffee novice or a real expert we want you and everyone else to feel welcome and wanted here.
Our Roasters
It's a way to help others. The coffee we serve is from fair trade roasters. That means that every cup of coffee is a part of providing fair wage to farmers in some of the most impoverished countries in the world. Additionally our roasters are involved in a number of other charities and mission work. By using their product you are a part of their good works too. With each coffee that is served at our shop, you, the customer are providing a living wage for over 10,000 coffee farmers in Rwanda, Africa. Not only a living wage but a school, medical facility, sheep farm to provide clothing for the coffee farmers and their families. THANK YOU!




Family Traditions
it’s a family tradition. The Bean is a place to enjoy something more with the delicious desserts we make in house. Many of the dishes we serve are ones we have prepared for friends through the years. The
history of serving great food goes back to Sydney?s grandparents who started a number of restaurants in various towns in Alabama some of which are still operating today.
In House Bakery
We strive to offer fresh baked desserts in house every day. If you're lucky you will by chance get the banana pudding.


It’s not just a cup of coffee!
