Coffee Beanery

Black girl who works there is always on her phone and doesn’t pay attention to her customers. Bad bad service!

Had coffee here few days ago and it was all good, my experience that is. Place is clean and has a nice atmosphere. The coffee I ordered that time got mixed up which is the bad part about it. As for the quality of the coffee, it was just okay. Meh at best.

Yummy this is a nice quite place to get a good cup of joe and a Krispy Kreme donut the services is excellent and super sweet if ur at Jackson
And u want a place to just chill out and have a lite snack this is where u would like to be

This was my goto coffee spot by work. The cookies are great, but the coffee drinks, even simple iced coffee always took for ever to make, and the staff was often disorganized or not paying attention. I will still go in if I am right next to it, but now that Starbucks is open right across the street, my visits here will sharply decline.

Came in here one morning for a quick cup of joe while I waited for a professor to show up for a clinical at Jackson. The place itself was fairly clean and the coffee was decent. It wasn’t anything that really wowed me. It lacked a certain je né sais quoi that I get when I sit in a Starbucks and enjoy a cup of coffee. It had something to do with the ambiance. It wasn’t particularly bad but it wasn’t exactly warm and welcoming either. I guess if I just want to pick up a cup of coffee to go then it will do.

Plain bad coffee.
Now that they have a Starbucks in the hospital, there is absolutely no need to come here.
You are a coffeeshop and all you need to do is make good coffee.
Coffee Beaneries can’t do it.
Thats why nobody goes.

Since the closure of another coffee shop near my office, I was encouraged to spend my dough at this place. I’ve visited this spot a few times and was not super impressed with the high cost of speciality coffee drinks that were not from The big «S»… Boy that sounds a little snobby; however after a few more visits I became a lover of their beverages and bakery items.
I am a non-​fat, no water Chai fiend and although this spot’s version tastes different from the one at the big «S», its spicy flavoring is delicious. The café moca, café con leche, flavored coffees and smoothies are also worth trying again and again.
The employees are always super nice and helpful, welcoming all guests in with a warm smile and hello.
There is ample dining space where a large tv and computer are available for customers. Unfortunately Wifi is not available.
If you looking for some good coffee, friendly baristas and a cool place to hang out before and during work check this place out.
Lastly, make sure to get your Perks! Card where 12 punches equals a free drink.

I have to write an update of this place because I’ve become a semi-​regular since my last review. While it is no Starbucks (sorry for the comparison, but let’s face it… that’s kinda what they were going for), I still find myself in there quite often. The service is always fantastic. Although the sandwich and wrap orders take a little longer than they should at times, It’s never an issue for me because they’re just so nice. The wraps are usually pretty good. My recent fave is the cordon bleu wrap. Yummy. They also have a pesto chicken sandwich sometimes that’s pretty good. Their seasonal drinks tend to be yummy; my favorite was the pumpkin spiced white chocolate mocha… um, yes please.
So it’s not a 5 star coffee shop, but if you work nearby and find yourself fantasizing about starbucks, check these guys out…

Vanilla Pumpkin Latte is very yummy!

The frozen drinks are good but the regular coffee is a bit too mild for my taste.

Have only been here once, but I had a nice experience. My Americano was well made and modestly priced. There are a decent number of tables to work or meet, as well as four lounge chairs to relax and perhaps watch something on the flat screen TV, as I did. I would go back, in fact I expect to tomorrow morning before I head to the airport.

Dropped by today for an afternoon study session. Only one employee was there, but he was on top of things — cleaning, serving people, making drinks, chatting happily with customers. I’m upping my rating a star — the Coffee Beanery might not have things down yet for morning and lunch-​time rushes, but they definitely are doing well with the afternoon/​evening shift. I’d recommend it if you’re looking for a chill place to study in the late afternoon.

One thing to note: I noticed that their coffee and espresso type beverages come out not so hot, so always ask for extra hot and that will give you what you normally get elsewhere.

As good as it gets in this area. If I was rating relative to the area, I’d have to give five stars. This is the only semi-​comfortable coffee shop in the area. There’s plenty of seating, some loungers, and the AC is cranked down low. That’s already enough to earn it at least a 3.
It is so very corporate/​chain-​like, though — by comparison, it makes Starbucks feel like Café Demetrio.
I had a sesame bagel for breakfast the morning of my first day at nearby jury duty, and I can’t say it was terrible. It was well-​toasted and seemed reasonably fresh. The coffee was of a very light roast and thus went down like water. I prefer darker roasty flavors in my coffee, but I know a lot of people don’t, so I could see a plurality of coffee drinkers voting for the Beanery’s cup.
I wouldn’t go out of my way to come here by any stretch, but if you’re in the area… this will come off as a glimmering beacon in the darkness.

I really like this place.
Coffee is always good. I adore their selection of iced and blended coffee drinks. Very very very yummy and absolutely a blessing in this hot hot hot weather.
I love the pastries and think they’re pretty reasonably priced given what’s around here and how much everyone jacks up their prices.
I”ve had lunch a couple times as well and like it SO much better than Au Bön Pain. A couple of co-​workers have also tried it and came to the same conclusion I did.
The ambience is nice. I wish I didn’t have to rush back to the office. I could stay here enjoying the wifi and quiet enough but not too quiet environment.
Customer service is great. They’re always smiling and friendly. There isn’t a rushed, factory feel like a lot of other places here. This can be great if you’re looking to take a nice break during your super busy day but keep this in mind if you’re coming before getting to work or with a very tight gap between meetings or something like that.
A couple of tips: 1) They have different specials every week and they are pretty damn good– usually a great value. 2) Inside, they always write a riddle at the bottom of their chalk board. If you solve it, you get a free upgrade on your drink. This is one perk to waiting in line! 3) They have perks cards you can redeem for free coffee.

From what I can understand, espresso is not their thing at Coffee Beanery, which really is a shame because the drip does not do it for me anymore.
On my first visit, while the customer service came with a huge smile, I had to wait more than 15 minutes before anyone in the store even touched the espresso machine to make my latte and was consequently late for work. I wasn’t too thrilled with the latte itself either, it was too weak and a little burnt. Not great.
On my second visit months later I ordered a mocha thinking the chocolate would help cover up the somewhat questionable espresso taste — but it did not. They use chocolate powder instead of chocolate syrup for the mocha, and it really tastes absolutely awful. Next time I’m craving some chocolate I’ll just mix some Hersheys into my café cubano, because Coffee Beanery, despite its convenience, is not worth my $ 3.
One thing that did get me a little jazzed was the strawberry cream cheese that came with my (barely) toasted bagel this AM. I thought for a store with like 3 bagel options no special cream cheese would be available, but finding the sweet strawberry goodness in my bag was a welcome surprise.
Overall, I’m going to agree with Vanessa S. and say this place is «generic, mediocre, bland and just plain disappointing». It’s just another chain, and the quality is of the level you expect from an airport location.
Disappointing.

I would rather starve then waste my money here again!
Okay so yes they are fairly new however, the food is TERRIBLE!
If this is the new alternative then stick with Au bon pain all the way!
I can not stress how gross my wrap was and the fact that it took 40 minutes for them to slap this mess together is mind boggling!
Stay away UMers… pack your brown paper bags cuz this place blows.

As much as I loved this place, the quality has been going downhill the past few visits. The once heavenly spiced chai latte has been kind of watery and SCALDINGLY hot. It’s tea and I’m aware you don’t just want your beverage lukewarm, but it literally has been taking a solid ten minutes with the lids off before I can even take a sip. I’ve also tried a peach iced tea that came with the crunchable ice cubes (you know the kind they serve in an elderly home so they don’t break their teeth?) and a mediocre and and watery taste to the actual tea.
The service has also been getting decreasingly friendly, which considering how new there are in completely ridiculous. I’m not quite sure what has changed, but the excitement I once felt is rapidly declining…

I don’t even know where to start with this place?
The words that come to mind are generic, mediocre, bland and just plain disappointing. As a coffee lover I have been really excited by all the new coffee shops popping up around the city, this was my first venture out into the world of these new spots and man was I underwhelmed.
The service was cold and bothered that we were even around, I nudged for suggestions and got a blank stare instead. My coffee came out of one of those thermoses where it probably sat since midday and even the look of the place made me feel as though it was an airport terminal or something.
I left here feeling that any Starbucks hater should probably loathe this place because it felt to me like a cold, generic coffee making, pastry pushing place where no genuine coffee lover could enjoy themselves.
Here’s hoping it can only get better from here.

I love this Coffee Beanery. I think it’s a great new addition to the Jackson area. Now we can get better coffee than McDonalds, Dunkin Donuts, Pashas, and Au Bön Pain. The prices here are similar to Starbucks, so it’s a bit more than the fast food coffees we have been accustomed to in the area, but it’s much better quality for your buck.
Technically this place deserves 4.5 stars, because it isn’t blow-​your-​mind amazing and is kind of a chain. But for what else there is in this area, the cleanliness of the place, the friendliness of the staff, the huge selection of coffees and teas they offer, as well as the lunch salads, wraps, sandwiches, and pastries — this place is great! If it were up to me, I’d come every single day for a mid-​afternoon coffee break.
The Caramelatte was just up my alley, although $ 4, tasty and sweet but not overly sweet, just the right blend. The atmosphere has you instantly forget that this used to be a nasty chinese restaurant that must have broken every food code violation in existence. It’s so cute, the seating is nice and it has that homey, lovely coffee atmosphere I love so much.
