Cafe Bene

Relaxing seating and good natural lighting. It is quiet in the morning and would be almost full around noon. Coffee taste fine.

We went with my husband to work at Caffe Bene. Customer service was great, my hot mocha taste good! 👍 I loved the music 🎶 it was not too loud, great temperature and the really clean restrooms. It was a comfortable place to work at. The wifi was great! And they even have power outlets. I love that they have a really nice menu and they even sell ice cream! It was great 😊

Good place to study & work. WiFi password is on receipt.

My first time having coffee from Caffe Bene. The establishment well organized and very clean. Customer service was great. I was sitting on the table outside that had a sun shade umbrella. The sun was all over that afternoon - no matter were I sat - the sun was directly in my face. The gentlemen behind the counter working inside notice this issue and kindly moved and fixed the umbrella to provide shade. The Chai Tea Latte with Almond Milk was great. I'll be back next time I'm in the area.

The regular lattes are my favorite! 3 shots of espresso it's cheaper than Starbucks is more expensive! My favorite coffee shop

I love coming here for some personal computer time or to read a book! - Plenty of seats - Never too crowded, people are quiet - Outlets on walls - Parking lot shared with other shops, can get quite full, but always available - Strong Wifi, password on the receipt of your order Drinks: always good, Regular is a decent size, nothing extraordinary but perfect for sipping as I sit here for a couple hours on my laptop. Food: I tried their spicy chicken sandwich. Fresh sandwich for a hungry belly. Large portion, but steep price $14. With their promotion of “get a sandwich get a drink 50% off” I felt okay paying for it. I could use actual utensils though, to go with their nice ceramic plate; the flimsy fork and knife are hard to use. Atmosphere: love the large space and many seats. Bench seating in the back, comfortable enough. The cushioned seats in the center are a bit saggy but spacious. Wooden seats started to hurt my bottom, but not a deal breaker at all. Music is for the most part calm and at a perfect volume. Staff: basic services, they don’t seem to clean the tables regularly but very friendly :)

Came here for a meeting on a Saturday night and the lot was packed. There were other stores and shops and I had to wait a few to get a spot. The place inside is huge and a lot of students inside studying or working on something with their laptops. What's funny was I thought this is Coffee Bean that's why I picked the place and when I got there I realized it's a Korean knock off lol. I ordered the taro latte. It was not too sweet but really hit the spot. It's a cross between coffee and dessert. We were able to find a spot to practice our presentation but felt all the tables were bunched up together so it's hard to get privacy. Overall: they had food/ice cream/desserts on the menu. We just came from dinner so none of us were able to try anything. Might be back again to try some items on the menu.

Great place to settle in for a snack, some coffee, and work! They have a delicious misugaru latte and great mille crepe cakes.

Spacious with plenty of seating and calm ambiance. It was pretty warm out when we came so naturally a cold boba sounded like the perfect choice. I was curious to try the Misaguru, which tasted like oatmeal in slushy form. It wasn’t bad and definitely the healthier option if you break down the ingredients (that’s what I tell myself at least ha). I was very disappointed by the hard boba at the bottom :( something that all boba lovers dread to find. The green tea multilayered crepe was very delicious. It was fluffy and not overly sweet. Can’t say the same about the lavender milk tea... apparently the lavender syrup makes the drink a bit on the sweeter side. Spacious place with plenty of seating and WiFi for the studious types. In fact, there was quite a few people working on their laptops. It has a bit of a Starbucks feel that invites customers to stay stay a while longer.

Is a nice shop if you want to have a good cup of coffee and a friendly 😊 atmosphere don't go there're lack customer service is evident, the Asian person making the coffee seemed to be annoyed for having customers looking at the menu for the first time ,we asked for milk for the coffee you would assume a coffee shop would have enough milk and sugar, but they didn't 🤷a lot of young people doing homework or using the wi-fi it was almost like going to have coffee at a library 😀 😉

Caffe Bene is a cute cafe with lots of space to work or meet up with friends. They have a large variety of treats and drinks. My daughter wanted a mango smoothie, and I was craving a sweet treat. I ordered her mango smoothie and got this huge banana and walnut honey bread. The mango smoothie was made quickly, but it took a little while for my banana and walnut honey bread. The mango smoothie was really bad. It tasted really artificial and just terrible. Both my daughter and I couldn't even take a second sip. But man o man, the banana and walnut honey bread were terrific! It was warm, sweet, moist, and delicious! I would definitely come back for more. I would be open to trying a coffee, but I would avoid fruity drinks.

The furniture looks like it was really nice at one point. The seats are sunken in, fraying, or damaged. It's time for new furniture. The drinks are great but they call out your order after the food has almost cooled completely.

The coffee taste was almost like a water with milk. Affogato also was not good without options for ice cream. $16.00 was paid. Don’t waste your money here and the service was not great, too. Very disappointed and off from my list.

I ordered a caramel latte macchiato, but it was just a cup of milk with no espresso flavor at all. I wasted $8 on something that wasn’t even a proper latte. I watched the girl make it, and she added milk at the end to make it look fuller, completely ruining the drink. It’s ridiculous that a cafe can’t even serve a decent latte. Literally drove to Starbucks and got an another coffee.

Too pricey. Bought an original waffle that cost over $8, then asked for syrup, and was told it doesn’t come it and offered honey. Who eats waffles without syrup? And it’s way too small.

Worse matcha latte I've ever had and the most expensive. ($8!) Even worse than Starbucks. The color was brownish green. The matcha flavor was nonexistent except for an exceptional non quality bitterness. At least the atmosphere was nice.

The workers here are nice, everyone has treated me nicely or at least alright EXCEPT for this older lady, who I think is the manager. I have been coming here, probably at least 20-30 times as a regular customer, enjoying the nice ambiance, a good place to get my work done, and the food and drinks are decent (except they are a little pricey), and the service has been decent too. Well, at least until I came across that manager, who I feel shouldn't even be working here (management should really do something about her, maybe get her fired). Basically what happened was that I had just walked into the cafe and sat down, and I started to get my work done when suddenly, within maybe 1 or 2 minutes of me sitting down, the manager came up to me, with no smile, just a serious face, and asked in a very unfriendly almost annoyed and angry tone if I ordered anything. I said no, and then she told me that I had to leave. I just thought this was really rude and I felt forced like I had to buy something in order to even stay here. AND what if I was actually planning to order something later but wanted to just get some work done first? I just felt disrespected and it kind of seemed to me all she cared about was the money and that I must pay to stay. I've been a regular customer here so it truly left me disappointed that even as a regular customer, I was asked to leave. This experience really was disappointing because I like to go to cafes often to do work, and now I feel like I can’t do that here without buying something every time. After this incident, I started looking at other reviews to see if anyone else had experienced a similar situation as mine, and unfortunately, I wasn't the only one. And unrelated, but as I read other people's reviews, I saw multiple people saying how this place is racist against non-Asians, so please be aware of that if you do decide to come. But because of this and my poor experience, I will no longer be coming here or supporting this place.

Read the below to hear about this cafe and how they operate: We went in as a group of three and sat down to order our food. We ordered a zebra iced vanilla latte, a hazelnut latte, and a ham and egg sandwich. The food itself was fine. We had called ahead of time and were told they closed at 10 PM on Memorial Day. Then we went to the front, and were told by a worker the kitchen will close at 9:30 PM, but that they will still be open until 10 PM. Around 9:30 PM, five or so people were still there and they chose to play a childish and demeaning “we’re closed” song even though there were thirty minutes left to spare. Our friend went up to a worker cleaning near the door and told her that they should update their hours online as it states they are closed at 10 PM and she told him they were closed at 9 PM. The worker went up to another one of the customers and told them “we’re closed, please leave”. There was a sign on the door that clearly states they were open from 10 AM to 10 PM on Memorial Day. To make things absolutely worse, we left momentarily to grab something and come to pick up our friend who was there, and around 9:50, the manager who is leaving decided to drive and do a full loop across the parking lot after seeing our friend is waiting outside for us to arrive, believing him to be a transient when we were paying customers. Beyond the fact it’s actually illegal to advertise a time, and close doors earlier than that, this left a terrible taste in our mouth. I don’t believe we will be coming here again.
