Cafe Cotton Bean

“Hey friends! This review is about sustainability. I so appreciate your signage in shop, that communicates to folks that they can order their drink for here, to prevent creating waste. I also appreciate the fact that you offer real spoons to mix milks into coffee, and provide a receptacle for used, reusable dishes. And that you have real glasses for coffee and for the water refill station. As a customer, it means a lot to me to be able to support local businesses that are doing more to promote reusable, circular coffee habits. By 2050 there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish, and over 95% of the plastic that we used does not actually get recycled. To customers, reading this, if you are dining in house, you have the option to create less trash! No need to have your coffee on their lovely porch without a reusable. Thanks to the clear signage and options provided by cotton bean! Much appreciated.”

“Cotton Bean is an excellent place in that is a simple coffeeshop, without gimmicks , without expanding their offerings beyond what is reasonable. Its a reasonable place. A logical place. A small simple operation pumping out delicious coffees in a very nice clean shop with friendly staff. It's wonderful. Its precisely what a coffeeshop should be. I've encountered 3 coffeeshops like this one, the other two being Gotham and Olas where the coffee is spectacular, the service wonderful and the shop simple. Could offering no wifi be the secret to the enchantment of these places. Perhaps. Id like to think so. Sit down, read a book, have a conversation, pretend its the 90's... which for many was peak civilization.”

“I love the aesthetic of this place, the food, and the calm vibes. They taught me a bit of words in Japanese, which was fun! Whether you take a sandwich, soup, or ice cream, you will always feel welcomed. It is super peaceful (they chose a good spot in front of the tree)!”
