So good! Its the cutest coffee shop and it has a drive-thru! I got a huge iced mocha with oat milk and it was delicious. If you love Old World or Hub, youll like this shops drinks (not the same vibe at all, but the drink quality is on par). Definitely better and less expensive than Starbucks, plus its local and I much prefer to support local businesses.

Love this coffee shop! I got a breve and my husband got a smoothie that you could tell was fresh. We will definitely be coming back to try more delicious drinks! They also gave us a doggie treat for my pup 🐶.

Best little coffee shop in town by far! Star bucks, dutch bros, dont comforter to the variety and flavor this place has. Tina of sugar free drinks and great staff.

First of all, support local small business. Secondly, every person working there is awesome and personable. They get to know your drink and treat you like they want you there even when they are swamped with customers. It’s great to see during the shut down that the drive through was a long line every day and people knew it was worth the wait let alone cheaper than that other coffee place.Love this place.

Decided to try this place as its closer to me and local. Definitely did not disappoint. Price point is marginally better than Human Bean and the coffee was less acidic. Great flavor options and they are pretty quick. Still a little pricier than Dutch but I will definitely be coming back. AND they are still offering punch cards, which is appreciated

Awesome baristas, amazing creativity, delicious danishes, and today they had a jazz band playing out front!Hands down best chai latte in town!!! Oh and their peaches n cream smoothie is wonderful! I drive across town for the quality and atmosphere here.They offer Punch cards, 10 drinks get one free. I bought 2 in one visit and they punched both boxes!They also love pets, they give treats and sometimes take pictures of them.They have definitely won me over, Im a loyal customer 😁Their Facebook page is pretty entertaining, I checked it out this morning.

A very cute and low-key coffee shop, with a hipster/progressive vibe. Coffee was solid, but the big draw were definitely the frozen drinks. On a hot day, the Peanut Butter Mocha purplechino hit the spot perfectly.

My favorite hole in the wall to get coffee on the way to San Rafael around the corner where I can sit in the park and drink a cup of coffee knowing I didnt spend nearly as much as I would as with Starbucks.They also make nutritional smoothies with real fruit and no extra sugar added including the breakfast smoothie and the hangover smoothie as well as many many more at around 5 dollars and 4 dollars for a large cup of coffee!They do any combination and flavor coffee you can imagine from Snickers coffee to Irish style coffee which all comes out tasting really good. I am never disappointed 😉

An outstanding little coffee joint. I was only passing through the area for two nights but was happy I made it here three times. Great drinks and cakes, inventive coffee menu and absolutely exemplary service. Yes you can pick up coffee to go, but I enjoyed the sofa inside much more. I will definitely make a detour when I’m next in the area.

Review №24

Pretty good coffee and smoothies at this place, as well as some pastries. I would recommend going inside of the place rather than the drive-thru. I once sat in line, just behind 3 cars and it took probably 30 min to get to the window. Going inside I was able to get drinks and food within a few minutes and witnessed the drivers outside sit for a very long time as I had experienced previously. The inside area is very cozy, comfortable and relaxing. Theres a few places to sit outside as well. Its a great place to start your morning.

Favorite place for a quick cup of coffee in the morning. Way better than the Starbucks down the street and pricing is reasonable. If coffee isnt your thing there are plenty of sweet drinks. The varieties in coffee are good if youre a simple black coffee person as well. Staff are always friendly and patient.

Had the pleasure if stopping here for a cup of Joe during the 2014 Street Vibration Bike show and everything was great! The coffee, the crew, the place, and the ambience was top-notch. They made this old biker feel right at home. I highly recommend this coffee bar.

I just wanted to say I love going here. The staff is always friendly, the coffee is awesome, and I love their daily specials. Just makes going to get coffee a fun experience. I wanted to say on two different occasions I was very impressed on how well they treated me. Just today I gave them a gift card that had $5 on it and it first said I only had $4.65 then she ran it again and it said decline but she still honored it anyways.Thanks guys, you are awesome !!!

I absolutely love this place, I would totally 5 star it because I am a regular, but my last visit turned to be a quick 180 after seeing the angry girl inside vacuuming.. Pouting and throwing around things as she saw us approaching. Like seriously... you just lost your company business and respect. The women here are what keep me coming, they are generally all very nice and well mannered, I love respectful people.

Its a local business that takes care of their guests. They have a sugar free alternative for everything on the menu. The service is outstanding, you are greeted with a smile everytime and they are a lot cheaper than Starbucks. Friends dont let friends drink Starbucks

I come here weekly to get my coffee full! Ive been coming here for about a year now. The staff is always super friendly! Even when jammed packed with people they always get my order right and get it to me as quickly as ever. I recommend this place to anyone who is looking for coffee/smoothies/shakes. Whatever you want this place will deliver!

With how much money these people have saved me as opposed to going to Starbucks, it might as well be a scholarship.

Review №46

Came here many times to use a coupon from the local coupon book called SaveAround for a B1G1 discount.The associate running the cash register was very rude and said we never accept those even though I used it last year multiple times. She said her boss would have to be involved as they don’t accept coupons ever. I tried to validate her that this is a partnership with there company and she said nope. I will not be back unless I receive an apology and explanation. Super unprofessional.

Great spot to grab some Java on the go or sit and chill. Beats the corporate greedy places for taste and intimacy. Also supports local scene.

Im sorry that I didnt like my latte. To be fair, it was a speciality drink that I have in my hometown, a 5 shot, iced latte. Saying that, that atmosphere was great and the employees were awesome. I would definitely come by again next time in Reno!

When you pull up to the purple bean on 7th, youll notice its only a few blocks from Starbucks.Starbucks is always full, the purple bean is a ghost town.The coffee is burnt and bitter, and not cheap. When friends came to town, they agreed. Its just not good coffee.

Review №75

Awesome coffee shop with a very local vibe and very local menu. The lattes and smoothies are all very creative in name and flavor combination. My boyfriend and I were attracted to the place when we saw so many cars stacked up at their drive thru window. I ended up with a Lazy River latte (butter pecan and English toffee) while he enjoyed the breakfast smoothie.They do have WiFi BUT there’s almost no place to hang out. Very little real estate. So, groups beware.

Love the coffee! The drive thru line has never been super long when ive come... which i would still stay in line cause its good. I order my coffee with half almond half coconut milk (as an alternative to milk). The kids even got sweet kids drinks too. The girls in there are so kind. I look forward to coming to that side of town because I get to come to the Purple bean. Hehe.
