You know that feeling you get when you walk out of a salon and you just got a nice trim? Nothing too ritzy, maybe just a couple of inches off the top? This place encapsulates that feeling for me.
This is a clean-cut, no-nonsense coffee shop that's great for getting some work done. I especially like that they're open later than most of the other coffee shops around. Their brews and smoothies are quite good, the staff is friendly, and they give you a lil candied coffee bean which is a nice touch.
Note: They have a drive-through if you're in a rush! -

Since I'm very lazy I love this place for the drive thru. The staff is overly friendly but not annoyingly so, so I like them. I'm pretty basic with my order, iced coffee with cream. They balance a chocolate covered coffee bean on top and you have to be careful or you'll spill it on the ground before you get to eat it.
The best surprise is the prices are a lot lower than Starbucks. I would give it 5 stars but, since they are overly friendly and I sometimes find that hard to take before my first cup of coffee, I rate them a 4. Add a little bit of surly and I might consider raising my rating to 5. Something to shoot for Human Bean! Thanks for the coffee! -

Pretty decent place and I like the espresso bean but I *am* a little irritated that I came in today, on a Tuesday and the baristas did not at all inform me of the $2 Tuesday promotion, so I paid nearly $5 for one drink when I didn't have to. I was inside for 2 hours and no mention. I think your baristas need to do a better job with their customer service.

When my family and I finally got in to Portland we desperately needed coffee to survive the early evening. We located a coffee shop and I'm SOOOOO HAPPY we stopped at The Human Bean!!
Not only was the name so adorable but the vibe of the inside and sweet customer service made our experience that much better.
Oh, let me get to the drinks! We ordered hot chocolates and Mexican Mochas (I think that's what it was called) and let me tell you!!! It was so satisfying and delicious! Each cup also came with a cute chocolate covered coffee bean! As if the name couldn't be any cuter, they added a bean on top of the cups!! Ugh!! Fantastic idea.
My Oregonian family argued that Dutch brothers was the business bc they believed The Human Bean was too sweet. But I thoroughly enjoyed our beverages and experience here.
If and WHEN I'm back in Portland, I'll be def sure to stop at The Human Bean! -

The ample, comfortable, and open seating area is offset by the earsplitting grinding excruciating noise of the espresso machines.
I can't think of a coffee shop that's louder. Without exaggeration, you sometimes need to YELL at the person sitting right in front of you.
This fact alone makes me limit my visits.
