The Java Bean

I gave up coffee in January, but I recently discovered a love for the London Fog. I checked out Unilocal to find out where I could get this lovely tea based drink. After nearly 8 years of giving another chain all
Of my business, never to be warmly received-​I discovered this lovely gem.
I drove up and the lady was warm and kind. I asked for the beverage. While she admitted I was only the second person to ask for the drink, she was happy to give it a shot.
She made the Earl Grey Tea Latte and it is perfect.
Give this place your business.

Their coffee is nothing short of amazing! I travel the United States with work and rarely do I find a «mom and pop» type coffee hut so delicious. Right off of 80 on Sparks Blvd. I had Mexi mocha with a splash of cayenne… being from Texas I love food or drink with a little heat. They also have freshly baked goods (scones) from a local bakery. Bypass Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts… Simply the best

I have been going to The Java Bean for years now. I just began using Unilocal,so I reviewing the places I frequent often. I have never had a bad drink at The Java Bean. The owner is amazing! She has remembered my name for years now, and I appreciate it so much. I know a little about her family, and she remembers things about me. I get the feeling she is this way with all of her customers! She is so sweet and friendly, I can’t say it enough! However, the coffee is equally as good as the customer service! She has more flavors to chose from than ANY coffee place in town. I really appreciate that she has so many sugar free flavors, and she is always coming up with different combinations. My favorite drink that she makes is the Mexican Mocha, with the cayenne on top. It is perfection! I also like knowing that there is a drink called the S.O.S. available, if I ever need it. It is Irish cream flavoring and 6 shots of espresso! I have never tried it, but one day I may need it.. .and she has it! I do know that they give back to the local community and supports other local businesses. Her prices are fair and I always feel like I get my money’s worth and more. Please go visit the Java Bean-​support local and good people!

Saw this place a few weeks ago and was sad that they were closed. We thought they went out of business or something. But we drove by today and they are open yay.
We went to target to grab a few items and my husband needed coffee, almost got a Starbucks inside of target. I told him wait we wanted to try that Java place.
I got the vanilla cinnamon iced coffee and hubby got the vanilla latte and they had kids steamers also which is a latte kind of without the coffee obviously. So my daughter got a snickers flavor latte.
She was super nice and she gave us the kids steamers for free! Yay! We love free. She uses a high quality coffee bean and you can tell by the taste of the coffee.
The cinnamon in my coffee just adds that little bit to the great flavor of the vanilla. Every time we need to come to this part of town we will always come here now for our coffee.

The Java bean was the perfect stop as my energy waned. The list of flavorings was impressive. I chose a butter pecan latte – it was good and perked me right up.
There were snack options, but I wasn’t sure what was available. If there were a list posted of the muffin or other bakery items of the day, I might have tried that but I didn’t ask.
The cashier/​server was very sweet. She knew a regular’s name and greeted him like an old friend. This little drive-​through java shack was a very enjoyable small business.

Excellent business! When I travel, I try to find local small expresso places and The Java Bean was just what I was looking for. Perfect non-​mocha with just the right amount of chocolate and clean shots of expresso. The owner was very friendly and if I lived in Sparks, I would go there everyday!

This place is awesome! And Karon is so sweet! I think this is best coffee in town! It’s much better than those big coffee chains and way better prices. She has awesome fresh fruits and muffins and all sorts of breakfast treats to go with your coffee. My fave coffee is the white raspberry. I’m gonna try butter pecan next! I am so glad I stumbled upon this cute little coffee house. So if your looking for something different than those big coffee chains that taste 100 times better go here! Karon is good at finding a flavor you will like!

Was in Reno for a wedding and stopped here before shopping at the outlets. To our surprise, this coffee was excellent! Great customer service as well. Support this local business and check this place out!

As a California girl and having barista in various café’s I have fairly high expectations for my coffee.
I am SO satisfied to say that The Java Bean went above and beyond hitting them. The owner who is also the barista was very kind and friendly. She was more than willing to answer all my questions, including the brands of products.
I am very happy to have found a place that makes my favorite drink, Dirty Chai with almond milk, that tastes just like my favorite shop back home. Icing on the cake, I could actually take a drink without having to wait 15 minutes to avoid burning myself! Come here and you won’t be left disappointed!!!

The Java Bean is OPEN for business! Unilocal is wrong. Best service and coffee !! Come on by and decide for yourself

This little coffee «shack» is decent! My husband and I tried this place out today and we both really enjoyed our experience! First off, we were greeted by a smiling face, as we pulled up to the drive-​thru window! I had several questions on their menu and the lady, working the drive-​thru, kindly answered each and every one of them. It took me a while to decide, as their menu was rather large. Not only did they have their regular menu, but they also had a specialty menu, filled with tons of interesting and delicious flavor combinations. I, finally, decided on the blended French Kiss, which is a blended coffee with french vanilla and raspberry flavoring. She made it perfectly! It was blended to my liking and the flavor shots were the perfect addition to their already flavorful coffee. It made me just want to try more of their specialty menu! My husband got the blended S.O.S, which is 6 shots of espresso with irish crème. The espresso was the perfect wake-​me-​up and it was tasty coffee, as well. However, after trying it, myself, I felt like the espresso overpowered the light Irish crème flavor. It was still quite good! My husband (being a coffee addict!) really enjoyed it. The barista even gave him an extra cup of his S.O.S, since the hot espresso melted the «blended» portion of his drink. We both got 20 ounce drinks and our total was just over $ 11.00; we both, however, thought it was worth it. My favorite part of my experience here, by far, was the absolutely exceptional customer service. She checked with us to make sure we liked our drinks and was satisfied with our experience! I give them two thumbs up!

Just had an amazing White Mocha coffee and it was AMAZING! This place is perfect just stop by and get your gas and pick up a nice hot cup of Joe. If you look at their Facebook page you can see their discounts and deals of the day beforehand. They also have some delicious muffins. I didn’t get one but my roommate who went with me did and loved it! Totally recommend and will be going back.

Awesome high quality coffee and great service! I will definitely be back again soon. Tons of flavor selections and they even have a good variety of affordable breakfast-​to-​go items. Bomb-​a-​lama.

I absolutely LOVE this place. The coffee is amazing and the customer service is over the top. There are several sugar free syrup choices which is a nice change and variety. Service is quite fast too so I am able to pull in get my coffee and be back on the road to work in a matter of a few minutes. I highly recommend this coffee spot.

There is nothing better than a local coffee place. The owner here is always warm and friendly, and I look forward to the days I have time to stop on my way in to the office. I typically get a large latte with no flavoring, and find it quite pleasant. Oh, and they have punch cards. Yippee!

I stopped here for a decaf white mocha. It was tasty. I got the largest size and the price with tax was $ 4.85.
This is in the parking lot of the gas station on Sparks Boulevard near Legends at the Sparks Marina.

I stopped here the other day for a cup o’ Joe and it was delicious. Came by today for another, and to ask what kind of bean they used… but to my disappointment they were closed. Oh, well … I’ll try again tomorrow!
