The Bean

“Leckeren Caffè und Chais sowie Bagel/Donuts und Muffins.”

Edited review after one year of visit: The Bean has become a disappointment. After a year, I visited Jena again for work and had a coffee at the Bean yesterday. Everything went downhill. - The guy behind the bar was a different guy with unrefined manners. Older and ruder. I don’t understand why some people choose to work in the service sector when they themselves don’t want to serve, or make themselves pleasant to customers. - Coffee— oh gosh. Just disgusting. People should drink coffee, not sour water from burnt beans. All I could smell was burnt ash. ———————- Last year: Spacious and coz

This small cafe is ideal to spend a pleasant time. Because the atmosphere is very calm, you can start conversations with your friends. As for the food, it wasn't bad but I was expecting something more delicious. I recommend the carrot cake, and if it is accompanied with latte, even better .

I normally don't order Chai anywhere outside North India because I am sure it doesn't exist 😂 So was intrigued by *"Chai latte coffee"* here, drank the *Power Chai coffee* variant; it was not Chai as I know it but something completely different sweet Milky Cinnamony with coffee also somewhere beneath.....guess this is innovation... Deutsche Chai in the sun in the middle of Jena town after Chatting with perhaps the friendliest barista in the world who kept speaking in English to me & me replied in my broken Deutsch 😂 life doesn't get any better, me thinks 😎

The barista is not always the happiest, but he is always polite and knows his coffee. As an absolute coffee fan I had my best coffee in Jena in this café. Quality is always more or less the same. I recommend their Frozen bean for sunny days (4,40€ for a big size).
