The food choices are limited but that is fine since what is offered is always interesting and tasty. Price of a smallish sandwich (with nothing else...no sides at all) was $8....a bit pricey. Needs a little bit of green on the plate to make the sandwich a meal worth $8. Coffees and teas are top quality. Neat place to meet... More

Food was good for lunch, well priced. Would most likely go here again, but nothing to rave about.

soup, sandwiches and salads. Oatmeal for breakfast anyone. What about Open Mic on Wed. The Zen Garden is a lovely place to sit, reflect and drink your coffee or tea. The Bean Fiend has a little of everything including wi-fi.

I love this coffee place! The decor inside consists of interesting wood carved furniture collected from around the world - some seats are elephants topped with cushions, others are large hands where the fingers act as a back rest and the palm provides the seat, still others are a stack of books lined up at a counter which looks out...

It's deep burgundy walls gave it a bohemian flavour. I loved it and immediately felt 'at home.' "I have just come from the west... More

Great coffee...great food. The Bean Fiend's grilled cheese is a work of art. I could eat lunch at the Bean Fiend every day. The atmosphere is really nice as well. Their Zen Patio is a great place to enjoy coffee on a sunny day. I highly recommend the Bean Fiend. Oh, and they have fee WiFi that actually works.
