Reviews for The Coffee Bean in Milwaukee, WI
They opened late. The menu's are on TV's which weren't turned on yet. Placed our order and the guy started making coffees for a... customer that came in after us. It took him 10 minutes to do this before he even started on our order of breakfast and lunchsandwiches. It has now been 35 minutes since we stepped in the door. I will never come back here again. They lost $50 a day. Thefood better be EPIC!!! Read more
I ordered an ice Carmel latte with almond milk, which I though was a safe choice! I was definitely wrong. It tasted awful?... almost sour? I am someone who really enjoys espresso, but today I was craving something sweet. I don?t know if the espressoshots were tempered wrong or if the milk was bad, but either way I couldn?t finish it because it tasted like it was spoiled.Really disappointing considers I paid like $6 for it.

I ordered online through delivery service. The sandwich was very hard to eat. Thick, hard slices of white bread, not much on the... inside. Two tiny, extremely thin slices of bacon which I paid an extra $1.50 to add to the sandwich. The bread to ingredientratio was out of wack. I basically ate mouthfuls of dry bread. Had to throw most of it away, because it was simply unappetizingand dry. Not worth the $10.50+ that I paid! The "fresh" fruit cup was anything but fresh. Old blackberries and shriveledclementine slices that were certainly not prepared that day. Will not order again. Terrible quality for all the money paid. Read more
I read a review here saying the Ice Vanilla Latte was great and that?s a serious lie. Been to a bunch of different coffee shops... and this Ice Vanilla Latte is NOT WORTH the price for almost $6. Got my drink and it was over sweet, the guy kindly fix it butit still didn?t taste like an actual espresso drink. The only redeeming thing is the place looked clean and the staff werefriendly.

Caramel latte was ok. Husband coffee was ok. Latte could have been hotter. To go only. Small chalk written menu, couldn't read... it. Wouldn't let you get close enough to read it, covid19. But think about making a print out and taping it to the wall next towhere you stop people, so a person can see what flavors of drinks you have and prices. Not a hard fix, to what I thought to beannoying. The guy taking the order seemed annoyed, cuz I was trying to see the menu. The other guy that bought us our drinks...MASK OVER MOUTH AND NOSE, NOT JUST MOUTH THANK YOU. There's lots of places to get coffee. Not impressed. Read more
I had a vegetable panini style breakfast sandwich here that was extraordinary. Super friendly staff, which isn't always the case... downtown. A funky shaped building that can put you in the window of the busiest street in the city or tucked away in quietwarmth with a book. 4 stars instead of 5 because they're closed on Saturdays. EDIT: As the very responsive owner noted below,the store IS scheduled to be open on Saturdays. I had stopped by several Saturdays and they weren't open; perhaps there was atemporary staff snafu. I appreciate the owner's correction to my original review. Read more
?Farm to table? is a bit of a stretch. The trans-Siberian sandwich description made it sound amazing, but the actual product was... disappointing. Definitely wasn?t living up to wth description ?grilled sourdough bread smothered in melted Brie, layered withripe Roma tomato, fresh basil(wasn?t any), crispy cucumber, and seasoned olive oil.?
