Java Bean Espresso

I had ice tea in mind, but walking in and smelling fresh ground coffee I quickly changed my mind.
Cute little shop with assorted tea and coffee pot to purchase for gifts or for yourself. A young lady came from the back as soon a we walked in. Greeted us with a smile and took our order for a couple of Americanos. I had mine with an extra shot and whipped cream.
I was disappointed that the whipped cream was not real. Only a Redi-​Whip like product. You can’t have espresso coffee and fake whipped cream. I did not ask who’s coffee they use but they should find a better choice. I drank only half.
I did add a star for having a dog water bowl at the entrance door. I used to have one also outside my shop. Even though we do not have a dog, dog parents really appreciated it. Walking back to the car and looking at the other shops, the Java Bean Espresso was the only one to offer water to man’s best friend.

Sandwiched in the row of shops that makes up most of the retail in Depoe Bay, this is the only dedicated coffee shop. And it’s not bad.
Free wi-​fi and friendly service are the good points. You can have a seat in the shop but it is a cramped and not a place I would spend doing much more than a quick email check.
The coffee is passable. Better than the hotel where we stayed, so it was worth paying for. The barista said said she wasn’t a coffee drinker, which is never a good sign.
So if the continental breakfast coffee can’t be choked down and it isn’t worth the drive to Lincoln City or Newport, this isn’t a bad spot.
