The Human Bean - Salem

Since when has HB started hiring rude, impatient employees? I just went to the Keizer location at about 7:30 PM on October 30. I went through the drive-through and the girl who served me was not only rude, she was impatient when I couldn?t take the muffin I ordered with my coffee fast enough. She was unfriendly, she did not smile and she did not say thank you. I used to go to HB all the time, but I?ve been going to Starbucks lately. I found I had a five dollar credit so I thought?.OK? I?ll go back to HB. Now I know why I?m never going to go back. I expect to be treated with a little respect as a customer. Also, the coffee tasted burnt. I ended up throwing it out. At least I didn?t waste five dollars of my money.

Nice place to hangout that's not Starbucks. Good coffee (not Starbucks), friendly staff, clean. Gave it four stars because the interior design is corporate bland.

Great coffee and staff. Only one complaint, I wish they blended their frozen drinks more thoroughly. Everytime I order a blended drink it's chunky and big pieces of ice get stuck in the straw.

I like the place like you like a Starbucks .. nos pastries just nagels and what ever that look like a cookie a d their hot coco is sweet and no strengh chocolat taste.. but at list you can seat down and enjoy the music and surf the web on your phone.

I've been to this specific Bean Location a few times now and the building is larger than most and had an actual posted drive thru and menu to start. The prices aren't clearly listed, but the baristas are usually nice and tell you if you ask. I don't go for these products often as I don't particularly like coffee and don't have the money usually, so when I go and treat myself and they get my interesting drink correct, it makes me so ecstatic and really starts my day off right! ???? I quite enjoy a little conversation with my drink, and the particular visit I'm reviewing for; my barista was extremely friendly and happily conversational, as it's really awesome to have a friendly smiling face, and one so willing to share some kind words to start off my day wonderfully. ????????????
