The Human Bean Austin Reviews
What an experience the drink was and I received a cute coffee bean! Definitely recommend
I recently discovered The Human Bean and I must say, it's my new favorite coffee spot! Not only are their drinks incredibly delicious, but their prices are also incredibly affordable. In fact, I found myself paying significantly less than I would at a chain coffee shop like Starbucks. But it's not just the affordability that sets The Human Bean apart. The quality of their drinks is simply outstanding. Every time I've ordered, I've been blown away by how rich and flavorful it is. The baristas really know their craft and are always happy to make recommendations or customize my drink to my liking. Overall, I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great cup of coffee at an affordable price. It's truly a gem in the local coffee scene and has quickly become my go-to spot!
This is hands down the best coffee place in all of Austin. They open early they stay late. Every barista is so friendly and professional. One of the baristas actually does a shaken espresso latte for me and it’s amazing. I cannot give this place enough accolades. The quality of the beans to the quality of the service is more than you see anywhere nowadays. Keep up the good work!
This is a regular stop for me in Pflugerville. Every order comes with a cute, chocolate covered espresso bean. Staff is always friendly. Down to earth people that take their work seriously. Overall, I cannot say enough about how much I appreciate them as a hub for my dates. The good: their iced americano black The better: their fall menu drinks The best: the free bean with my order Parking lot is a bit confusing, considering it’s built more for drive thru service. Keep in mind that all of the seating is outside. 10/10 - love The Human Bean.
Grace and the other baristas (sorry i’m bad with names) were lovely and gave great coffee suggestions! Definitely would recommend checking this place out.
This is one of the nicest coffee shops around. Their cold brew is on point. I've tried a few of the breakfast items as well & they are pretty good. Overall a good place, just wish there were more.
Grace, Natalia, and Violet were very kind and helpful. We were unsure of what we wanted, but they gave us great suggestions and all had great attitudes. We would highly suggest coming here!
Staff is super friendly and the coffee always hits the spot. They have a wide range of drink options. I love how efficient their dual drive thru set up is. My wife and I still talk about our first visit during the freeze. The owner was personable and really cared about their staff's well being. That conversation alone kept us coming back! Highly recommend for your java fix.
I love their prices, you get great value for your money. They can make almost anything, so flexible menu offering. They offer smoothies and teas for non-coffee drinkers. They give you a chocolate-covered espresso bean with every drink. The staff is super cool.
We just moved into the area.. Coffee is a must for my wife and I EVERY morning! The customer service is always spot on and the drinks are usually perfect. They say you can't mess up Cold Brew.. you can.. But The Human Bean doesn't! Makes me glad I am a human being 😅☕
Everything is delicious, and the young girl with the pretty Purple kendra scott ring on is a Doll. Super sweet and friendly! ❤️
I’ve been living in Pflugerville for over 12 years now and I’ve always struggled to find good matcha here. I always have to drive into Austin for matcha. And I am an avid matcha drinker, I usually order mine from Japan! But sometimes I just want someone else to make it for me. This is the best matcha I’ve had in pflugerville! It’s the perfect sweet level. And they put enough matcha! I usually always have to ask for extra matcha in my drinks but I forgot to hear and I was surprised how green the drink was. I ordered through Uber eats to try for the first time as I am at work and the drink was packaged very nicely as well and taped up so that it did not spill. If you like matcha this is the best in the pflugerville and round rock area! I also got a bagel from here. It wasn’t anything to rave about. And a muffin top which was good.
So glad to have this place in Pflugerville!! The staff are always friendly and genuine, and both the food and drink selections are plentiful, you're bound to find something suitable no matter the time of day. I especially love their chocolate covered coffee beans, and they include one every time you visit. We love going here :)
You won't find better coffee and smoothies in a 20-mile radius. Fast and friendly service every time. It's always a pleasure when we go. Don't forget to get a puppichino for your k9. They have great merchandise, too. We bought shirts. What a cleaver name, too.
I visited this coffee shop and really liked it! The barista was great and very skilled. The coffee was delicious, but I especially loved their iced coffee – it was perfect! I’ll definitely come back again. Highly recommend!
Delicious coffee and friendly barista! I like to taste my coffee and don't care for the sweet types. I was able to customize my order including asking for xtra hot and that's exactly what I received! Went through the drive-thru. It didn't take long. It was a great 1st time experience at the "Human Bean" coffee shop.
The baristas are so friendly and thoughtful here. It's such a welcoming spot. Delaney (Barista) is a Rockstar and makes people feel like more than just another ticket. Service aside, the cold brew is so good! I get mine black and it is so savory with an almost chocolate flavored aftertaste. No bitterness or sour taste! I will definitely be a regular here.
Strong coffee. A bit too sweet though. I'll have to order differently next time. Sandwiches were great. Barista was friendly.
Always so great! The staff is so attentive and friendly, especially when you have 3 teenage girls trying to decide what they want😆 the caramel granita is always so good and sweet. They can make almost any drink sweeter if you want. And to top it off (literally!) With a chocolate covers expresso bean is always great! But........ we need a punch card!😂
First visit and loved the Java Chip and had a good laugh with my son about “what’s that bubble coming out the top?!” He said no mom that’s a bean! Laughed more when it flew at me as we drove off… definitely found it and ate it. Lol shared pic with friends and fam to come check out this coffee spot… our order was correct, staff polite & even the staff that did not serve us smiled. We only visit the area a couple times a month but we will be back to try other items on the menu.
This place is amazing!! Their coffee is fantastic! Their menu has a ton of options. The employees and owners are super nice! Definitely will be back. They also have an app to see the menu to use to order and pay!
The workers are always nice and the drinks are really yummy! I like the coffee bean you get with every drink! I always had great service and always try to stop in when I am around. 🫶🏽🫶🏽#caramelgrande

Great experience. I described the type of drink I was looking for and she suggested a Snowy Granita. It was the perfect drink for a hot day. Upon realizing I lost my receipt for a company reimbursement, I called and was told they will try to recall it. I had the receipt sent to me within 10 minutes. Thanks for the recommendation, expedient service and follow up.
super delicious lavender caramel granita from anthony as per usual 😁
Bella, Hayden, and Grace are always so kind. They provide excellent customer care and make great drinks. I'll definitely recommend the Human Bean to family and friends.
Dylani was my barista and was so friendly. She suggested the snowy pumpkin spice iced coffee and it was so good. The coffee was made in less than 2 min as well so very quick when there is no line. Thank you!!
I love coming to Human Bean. Coffee is always great, staff are so nice and location is convenient. Be sure to try their seasonal drinks :) I like the chocolate covered coffee bean on top of each drink too!

This is a cool little kiosk that serves coffee. And, a free chocolate covered coffee bean with every drink.
This chain is very efficient. There are 2 drive through lanes with one on each side of the building. The walk up window was a bit confusing because customers were standing in a drive-through lane placing their order. After their order was placed, a very large pickup truck went reverse through the drive-through to place their order. It was a bit alarming. I stood in front of the walk up window that they didn’t seem really keen on using. When they did open the third window, they were friendly and helpful. I love the coated coffee bean given on the top of each coffee order. It’s a nice personal touch. I got a double shot of espresso with brevè over ice. It was a decent double shot but nothing extremely special except the espresso bean on top. I would visit again due to its convenience. The name of the coffee shop weirds me out a bit. I wouldn’t have named it that. They had a decent breakfast and lunch menu.
The snowy mocha is good especially if you enjoy sweet coffee as I do. You can add/take away espresso or the sweetener. I did try a breakfast bagel sandwich and I didn’t enjoy it. There was just no flavor to the breakfast inside the bagel & no jelly or cream cheese was given. The customer service is always satisfying. P.S. there have been quite a few bee’s flying near the order window and around this property. To the Human Bean Managers & or CEO please take care of this! We love our bees but also want to keep your customers & staff safe.
Fist time trying and first impression. The baristas who took our order very kind and patient since we didn’t know what to order. I was surprised to see in a food establishment where food and drinks are being prepared an employee with the most skimpy cloths, that just leaves a bad impression on Managment and the rest of the employees. Except for this experience we enjoy our coffee.
It’s okay. The coffee chocolate is a fun touch

Love matcha? 8/10 only because some days it’s flavorful of tea and others just plain milk even with adding a “vanilla” flavor. Likewise, other reviews about customer service- only one barista greets/has an upbeat attitude! Unfortunately, I’ve forgotten her name but she always gets my order/drink correct! Overall, still don’t hesitate to try this coffee nook!

My coffee always hits but every barista I have come in contact with has been rude and acted as if I am bothering them. Not about the mean girl energy, from a bunch of teenagers nonetheless.
Tried this place this morning after a friend recommended it. First of all, you don't get to the menu until you get to the window so you don't have time to ponder your order. The teen at the window was no help as she basically just asked me, "What do you need?" I ordered a blended snowy and when I asked for a breakfast croissant with sausage, she said, "We don't have that"...even though they clearly offered other sandwiches with sausage on them according to the menu. It took nearly 10 minutes to get my sandwich and when I got it, it tasted rubbery as if it had been in the microwave too long. My blended coffee tasted like milk with a little coffee in it. AND after eating the sandwich, I noticed the date 7/17 on it and today is 7/24!!!! I was a whole week OLD!!! For $15, I could have went elsewhere for better service, options and fresher, better tasting food. Waste of my money and time!

3 stars is for the sweet barista that helped us this day. I ordered the cold brew & a shaked coffee with caramel and oat milk, both were extremely horrible, such a waste of money. We ended up trashing both drinks. I really wanted to love it here but it didn’t hit for me.

I decided to try this place because I saw they had matcha on the menu. I’m a big fan of matcha so I was excited to try their iced matcha latte. It was just awful. It was very watery and didn’t taste like matcha at all. The color was really off so I knew they used bad quality matcha :( Staff was super sweet though.
Saw this coffee shop in the area and wanted to try something other than Starbucks so I stopped by. The presentation of the coffee is cute, but when I took a sip I felt as if I was drinking coffee-flavored water. I’m assuming the ice put in the coffee was already half melted because It wasn’t even a hot day… at 34 degrees outside and to have the ice melt in 10 minutes means the ice must’ve already been almost melted. The customer service was good but could do better on the actual quality of the coffee.
Go to Dazzle down the street, much better flavors and coffee. Tasted watery and flavorless.
I've tried this place three times. The coffee was always weak and sugary and this time we decided to try one of their "smoothies" that claims to use teal fruit because we didn't feel like driving all the way to stonehill town center. It was awful and tasted synthetic. No listed prices or info about ounces either. Last time I'm going here.
I really want to like this coffee shop, but it seems to be getting worse everytime I visit. The staff is lovely, but the coffee and the wait times are awful. We tried the Toffee Crunch latte with Macadamia milk and a Blended Pistachio Vanilla latte. The Toffee Crunch latte was very bland. While it was being made, we could see the baristas scrambling to try and figure out how to make it. We could overhear the baristas say they didn't know how to make it, even though it's a featured drink for the winter menu. The Blended Pistachio Vanilla latte was so nasty. It was inedible and tasted almost sour or bitter and tasted like medicine. There was no sweetness and the coffee was somehow separating from the blended milk and cream. We paid over $12 bucks for two 16oz drinks and it felt like a major waste of money. Hopefully the new ownership can help turn this place around with adequate training. There was a lack of training and a lack of preparedness. Nice staff cannot make up for a lack of support.
Spent about 20$ including drinks with specialty flavors and the drinks tasted like nothing at all, was about a 20min detour because of the lack of a speaker system so they make your drinks at the window and we were also missing a chocolate covered espresso bean. All in all if you want a nice tasting coffee go elsewhere and if you’re craving human bean a different location is probably best 😢 very disappointing experience and I feel the money I spent was wasted

Good coffee… if you can get it. I would say about 50 percent of the time they are out of cold brew. And it’s not even noon. Won’t waste my time waiting in line again.
Human Bean? Not very humane. For a time, we drove all the way from Round Rock for their coffee because it was high quality, friendly service, and an overall good vibe. After a while, their coffee quality started to decline (lack of flavor, watery, wrong orders, etc). This got frustrating due to the long drive and amount of times we had to do this. We had to call back several times and ask to remake the drinks due to their watered-down, flavorless consistency as we had just paid money and used the gas to get there (gas is not cheap in Austin). In the process of their steady decline, the manager's husband called my car UGLY while he was taking my order (I'm not joking!!). We let the manager know, and he called me back to apologize. Finally, we call back yet again to have them remake our order. The manager was extremely rude, gaslit us, pointed out that it was our problem in a snide manner, and HUNG UP ON US. There are much better coffee shops with more consistency, better service, and employees who don't insult you or hang up on you.
Ordered a cold brew, the barista asked if i wanted vanilla cold foam on top.. I wanted to try it but then it seems as though she just mixed it into my coffee?? It’s very very watered down which you can see in the picture.. it kind of just tastes like vanilla water with a hint of coffee.. I’ve been here numerous times with the same experience and I will not be returning.. dazzle coffee right down the street is much better and doesn’t water their coffee down..
Wow guess this was my trip to any of your coffee establishment !! You order a 32 oz with no ice they give you a 32 oz cup with almost 3" of liquid missing. You ask for the rest of your drink and they say you ordered no ice so thats what we were told to do by management. The cazy part is when you order a hot 32oz coffee your not getting a discount for not having ice you would serve that to the top! Guess yall will start charging for straws, napkins and the espresso bean on top next??? Ultimate low as a business for yall
Had the weirdest interaction here. I was the only customer and there were about 4 or 5 teenage employees chit chatting. Felt like I was bothering them. Barista didn’t even say thanks, have a nice day or anything. Just closed the window in my face after handing me my drink. I came here for a pick me up after a long day and drove away feeling worse. Yikes.
