Village Bean

Delicious but overpriced. The coffee and the food is overpriced and the coffee is sort of extremely watered down. If you like that sort of watered-​down desserts type coffee it works out great. But most of the time the way that they brew it is too weak.

The place started out pretty good, but then got sloppy… every time I get a coffee I can’t finish it. For great food I’d rather go behind and eat at philanthropy. Amazing food. Great coffee.

Delicious food at great prices. Their vanilla chai is EXCELLENT. I always order their chicken Caesar salad on a spinach wrap. Best chicken Caesar salad sandwich I’ve ever had (and I’m extremely picky about the quality of chicken I get when I order out). The service, although pleasant, is either spot on or the servers are inattentive and too busy talking to friends at the counter. There’s no happy medium. If their service was more consistent, I would’ve given this restaurant 5 stars. I was a fan of this restaurant while they were still in North Scituate… but, in my opinion, the quality of the food as well as the overall aura of the restaurant has gotten much better ever since they moved to Chepachet. Good atmosphere, not too loud or quiet, and the décor is very homey and nice. Improve the service and this restaurant will be perfect.

it took four people 20 minutes to make two (cold) sandwiches… and they were terrible. a veggie wrap does not equal making a lame green salad and then stuffing it into a wrap. and i don’t know how you can make an Italian sub with no flavor but they managed to! the worst part is that it cost $ 22 for two lousy sandwiches and one iced coffee…

I went to the Village Bean for the first time a few days ago for lunch. The woman at the counter was very nice and friendly. I got the chicken caesar wrap and it was delicious! Perfect spot if you just want to have a quick bite to eat without dealing with having someone wait on you! I’ll be back!

Attentive wait staff, helped us from the second we walked in the door. The breakfast burrito makintyre (sp?) was a great combination. Home fries on the side of my sons croissant sandwich were perfectly browned. Nice array of baked muffins but we didn’t try any. On the list for breakfast places near us!

I work in the area so I have a chance to go here often. The place started off with a bang, but has gone downhill since. Lots of turnover with staff and both service and food quality are different every time you go in. Many younger girls working here who just dont pay attention when you place your order. I can’t tell you how many times they have given the wrong order and seemed to blame me for the mistake. Both the owner and older woman whom take my order are both friendly and observant.
I think things could drastically improve by getting the staff to pay attention and do their job instead of gabbing and checking their phones. The food needs to be consistent and changed daily (different soup each day!) during one period they had Chicken Minnestrone soup everyday for more than a week.

Service is terrible, food is mediocre. Wasn’t impressed. Not somewhere I would revisit with several other breakfast places nearby. It’s too bad, a nice pancake and eggs house was needed in this area.

I want to give this place 4 stars and would definitely return if in the area but wouldn’t drive up just to go here. Unfortunately I love long weekend drives for breakfast. I discovered this place while camping out that way with my boy and we wanted to grab a hearty breakfast before leaving town. The food was decent, the hash browns were AWESOME but my scrambled eggs were half scrambled with lots of big white chunks. Someone in the kitchen needs to put a bit more arm into their whisk. The other little complain I have is the kids breakfast with bacon came with 1 slice of bacon. 1 SLICE!!! What a tease!!! However once again the food tasted great and the hash browns were AWESOME, enough so to be redundant about them. The service was decent, the place is crisp new and clean.

If you’re looking for a homey breakfast place with good food and friendly service — this is definitely a great place to visit. Food can be purchased to go, as can their muffins and pastries. It’s also great to see a local spot offering a variety of flavored coffees, both hot and iced.

Went in to this new place for an iced coffee and breakfast sandwich. Ended up feeling terrible. I checked out the RI department of Health website were you can see inspection reports for any restaurant in RI. Wish I had checked that out first! Guess the mold in my ice coffee didn’t agree with me!
«Violation 14 Food-​contact surfaces: cleaned & sanitized
Inspector Comments
The ice machine had an accumulation of slime and mold. The food contact surfaces of equipment must be clean to sight and touch.»
That’s just one of the 11 violations! Don’t think I’ll ever try anything new without checking that website first!
Won’t be back to this place!

My husband and I just moved to the area and we were thrilled to discover the Village Bean! Unfortunately this place does not live up to our expectations. The first time we ordered, it was two egg sandwiches on bagels with LTO and the price came to $ 7. Since then we have paid from $ 7-​$ 11 for these same sandwiches. Prices are never consistent! Recently I paid $ 16 for two of the same bagel sandwiches and two muffins, this should have only cost me $ 12. The food is not amazing. I would be ok paying these prices for good food, but it’s not quality. The bagels seem like they are defrosted from restaurant depot and the portions are not a good size. It’s really too bad.

We are business local to the Village Bean and we are always looking for places to pick up things for lunch. We placed on order today for take out and were disappointed when we opened our food back at our office. One sandwich was ordered to come on ciabatta bread and the other was to come on focaccia — both sandwiches were delivered on torpedo rolls! There was also an order of tomato basil of soup, which looked like it had been kept in a crock pot and cooked for ever. I will give them a second chance, but… they will be on a short leash

We ran across the Village Bean while meandering around the state one weekend. The inside has a very homey and comfortable feeling. You can get a variety of items including a long list of coffees and also smoothies.
The list of sammiches made it hard to choose. My wife got the turkey club and I got the Tuscan. The club was a standard club but something about it made it stand above the rest. My Tuscan had large chunks of marinated chicken marinated with roasted red peppers and black olives on a roll. The chicken was cooked onsite and was very tender and juicy. They cooked it perfectly as to not be dry and over done and it had the perfect texture. Sammiches can come with a choice of sides… chips or pasta salad.
You can be seated and have table service, or take your meal out to the 3 – 4 tables they have to the side of the building and enjoy the nice day. I believe the wait staff will also serve you outside also but that is unconfirmed.
We noticed a few intangibles that really made us like this place. A couple of cyclists were stopping by for a break and refreshments. They had accidently left their water bottles inside as they took advantage of the outside tables. one of the staff brought them out and made sure they belonged to them. Upon confirmation, the wait staff asked if they would like them filled with water… the cyclists were pleased and said «yes, thank you». The wait staff then added «ice too?». The cyclists beamed with approval and were very appreciative of the offering.
It is this kind of just friendly and courteousness that we witnessed made us mark the location on the map.
One other thing we found odd about this location is that my wife went outside to grab a table while I waited for our food. Patrons at another table immediately started talking to her… and the cyclists joined into the conversation. I am not familiar with the Chepachet area… but it must not be in Rhode Island. I am an outgoing person that is not afraid to initiate conversation with others… moving to Rhode Island I have found that most people do not prefer this behavior. Not at the Village Bean! Everyone was friendly and it created a great environment.

The food is soso. I had the meatball mom chicken sandwich Russ the steak. It took for ever price is around 10:00 dollars with one side the sides came in what most people but ketchup in No lie I will not be so stupid as to ever go there again

Visiting the area. Great breakfast menu! Nice flavored coffee selections, gluten free options, and friendly wait staff. Large portions with good prices

We come here during lunch time. It’s good crowed. The worker are friendly. The food are good, cook like home style, the prices are good for local business. We will come here again.
