The Human Bean

The baristas are always smiling and happy here. The chai lattes are amazingly good either hot or cold. And it’s always great to get that chocolate covered coffee bean on every drink. Even when there’s a line of 3 or 4 cars, there’s never a very long wait. Also, they’re always sure to check if you’ve got your stamp card. Great customer service and great espresso ensures that I’ll stop here every time I’m passing through Bandon

Great coffee with great service! After stopping at a coffee shop further north and receiving horrible coffee we stopped in Bandon to hopefully get a good cup of coffee. It was very tasty, coffee flavor itself was very good and the drink was well made! Fast and friendly service too. Glad we stopped here for a second chance coffee drink!

Friendly service and tasty drinks at this drive-​through grind.
She filled my tea thermos even though she was worried that my tea leaves were tobacco. They were not.

Friendly service, but sub-​mediocre coffee — flavorless and watery. For the price this place charges and the location it’s in, that should be a fantastic cup, not a dishwater brew.

Drive by. Brown, watery (but hot!) drink that only tastes of coffee if you use your imagination.

Stop here sometimes for a coffee fix before heading into Bandon. Nothing special about this place. Hot liquid with coffee taste. I’m just spoiled by Dutch Bros in Coos Bay…

There isn’t much good coffee in Bandon even though there are plenty off coffee joints. The Human Bean, I know, dumb name but aren’t all coffee shop names a little too silly (Lovin’ Cup, Kafein, Common Grounds, Brew Ha Ha et al), is more than decent.
The Human Bean is strictly drive-​thru which is convenient for the accidental tourist who is speeding through Bandon along US 101 to their beach cottage. The place is located in the parking lot of the Price-​N-​Pride grocery store. The coffee is hot and you get a chocolate covered espresso bean with your coffee. I found the service friendly and efficient.
A-​OK place for a drive-​thru coffee fill up.

We visited Bandon early July 2012 and this was the best coffee in town. Service was very upbeat and my soy vanilla latte was one of the best I’ve ever had. Don’t forget to include the bean with your order, super delicious treat! :)

Have been to this location quite a few times and always seem to leave disappointed. The service is terribly slow, the Baristas aren’t very friendly and the coffee drinks are always steamed to the point of undrinkable. Alas, I am a coffee junkie that needs her fix when traveling to the coast to visit family, and find myself returning to this establishment for two reasons: 1) this is the only drive-​thru that I’m aware of in the area, and 2) I frequent Human Bean locations in the Medford area regularly and never have these issues, so I keep hoping that the Bandon location is going to finally live up to it’s Rogue Valley counterparts…
This morning, after a long holiday weekend without any «fancy» coffee, I was craving a mocha something serious, so we stopped by The Human Bean. Our order included 2 mint hot chocolates (for the kids), a mocha and a hazelnut latte… not very difficult, right? Apparently, wrong! The Barista got a look of utter shock and confusion, had to get out a notepad and ask us to repeat our order. After writing our order down in what seemed to be great detail, she still managed to get our order wrong… those mint hot chocolates for the kids ended up as mint mochas (coffee included). Thankfully, they taste tested and figured it out immediately. When we asked the Barista if she put coffee in the mint hot chocolates, her response was «Yes, you didn’t want coffee in them?». Really? She even watched us hand them to the kids in the backseat. She remade the drinks (minus the coffee) and as I write this on my phone an hour out of Bandon, my mocha has finally cooled off enough that I can drink it and it is quite good… thus the second star!
