The Bean - New York

Spacious and good music. I had a good smoothie for $12. Wifi wasn't really strong enough to handle the zoom I was on, and the music was too loud for my noise cancelling headphones to drown out. So maybe not the right spot for taking a call.

The restaurant offers a decent selection of coffee and smoothies. It is quite spacious, but tends to attract a younger crowd because of its location. The service is good.

The restaurant could be cleaner to enhance the overall experience. The food is decent, but slightly on the expensive side. The ambiance is cozy, but the quality of service varies depending on the person at the register. I had one server who was friendly and attentive, but the next time there was a different server who seemed disinterested and neglectful. I had to flag them down to get my receipt.

It's a good corner location for Bean. It is big, plenty of seating. It's new, and it has a decent commercialized interior, not the romantic type. You can have your basic needs, seating, coffee and pastries, or simple lunch bites. The staff was friendly during my night visits. Overall I had a good experience here.

The cold brew is pretty good. The WiFi is terrible (2hr limit and painfully slow) and hard to connect to
