The Bean Bar Co.

I walked in and wasn’t greeted but figured they were busy in the back, waited a couple mins and yelled “hello?” And then a women from the back says “hold on one second” after a min she walked up the front and still didn’t greet or acknowledge me. She rearranged some muffins in front of me still without making eye contact or saying anything to me. After an awkward minute she says “what can i get you” i said do yall have Frappuccino’s? “No” just a flat no, no suggestion or anything. I’m like okkkkk this is just an awful interaction. I then ask can I just get an iced coffee hazelnut. “Yes” continues to ring me up and makes it. I received my old tasting coffee and left. My coffee takes old and I’m wishing i would have just walked out in the beginning. I understand we all have miserable days but I’m the only person in your coffee shop, you could at least act like you want your customer here. I’m sure she’s not the owner because you can tell she truly didn’t care about her customers or the store. The reviews had looked good but i left with a cup of sadness that I’m going to throw away. As a business owner myself, I would be careful hiring employees like this because small time business owners are already facing an uphill battle trying to compete with large corporation coffee shops, employing someone with a bad attitude can make or break your business.

Great gem of a place in New Tampa, worth the stop! We hosted a Coffee and conversation here where our main topic was about how to make infrastructure investments work more efficiently for our community. The staff was very friendly and the ambiance was memorable, highlighted by the artist Ryan Panco. @paintingsbypanco If you need some energy to rush through your day, ask for the “Irish Nutcase!” Bagel breakfast sandwich was a hit with my team. #greatcitiesaredesignedTarynSabia #taryn4tampa #tarynsupportslocal #tarynformayor Go check them out!

So I’ve given this place many chances because it is close to where I live . But last time there was a blond hair in my avacado toast and the bread was stale . Today the attitude of the female barista was just too much , no eye contact not friendly what so ever , she was like this the last time I went but I said whatever. It seems that this is just her normal. Btw this was at 2:30 just so owner knows . The guy at the cash tho was super friendly. To run a successful business you have to have welcoming staff. I’m willing to drive an extra ten to fifteen minutes just to have someone greet me with a better attitude.

I found out about this cafe over three weeks ago. It's nice. This is a nice coffee shop to read or meet up with friends. The price is not bad. 😎

Excellent coffee, staff and food! It’s a welcoming and friendly atmosphere. Non dairy options are delicious as well. I ordered an iced caramel macchiato with almond milk & a buttered croissant. The almond milk is creamy and delicious 😋 the croissant was fresh, flaky, light and fluffy! I highly recommend giving The Bean Bar Co a try if you’re passing by or in the area!
