Bean Tree Cafe

We visit from out of town for a month and like to fine interesting places to have coffee and relax. I’m also a sucker for bread pudding but I never know what I’m going to get. Bean Tree has a rather good chocolate chip bread pudding warmed up, Wipped cream and drizzled Carmel. Nice portion, cup of coffee did it for me. Will return again. And yes the lavender lemon aid is great.

Living in cornerstone, bean tree is our only coffee shop. The prices are good and the coffee is great for the price. Wifi extremely reliable, as well.

Hands down the best cold brew I have ever had. And they’re always coming up with creative drinks!

I love you bean tree but don’t give someone a burnt grilled cheese. Just make a new one. I was lookin forward to a grilled cheese all day and to get home and find out it was burnt was a tragedy. Anyway, the lavender lemonades are delicious.

The coffee is excellent, and the environment is wonderful for hanging out or working on some homework. The service however is extremely slow and my drinks have consistently been much colder than preferred.

From the coffee to the food to the seating area, this place embodies the glow that every coffee shop should have. Inviting with a warm ambiance combined with sweet smells from the coffee bar and the occasional savory aroma from the kitchen, nothing is left to chance at Bean Tree. The service is always impeccable as well as the product, which will always be excellent. As a frequent of this fine establishment, I could not attest more to its consistency as a business as well as it’s ever open invitation for all to enjoy some coffee, food, and even a book as they visit Bean Tree.

Great coffee! This place can get crowded at times so you would have to get here early if you plan on studying. I like that they rotate their drink menu as well. Today, I had a root beer chai and a coconut strawberry latte. Previously, they’ve had cinnamon lattes, lavender chais, and so on. They also have a very strong cold brew coffee if you prefer iced drinks.

Pretty good spot. I went there and got some tea. It has a pretty nice drive all around, with the cliché local coffee house artwork for sale!

The service is always good, even in the early mornings. The servers are super sweet. The coffee is awesome and even has little designs AND you can even use a real coffee mug. It doesn’t get much homier than that.

BLUF: Sandwich was good but overpriced. Not bad, but only beats White Hart and Muse if you live close by.
I went to Bean Tree primarily for a concert (just a couple acoustic artists) on a Tuesday night. It’s a fairly small space without a lot of seating, so luckily not many people showed up and I was able to actually get a seat. If I still lived nearby (before it opened, I was a 2 – 3 minute walk from the location, now it’s about a 15 minute drive), I could see myself stopping in fairly often. Now, I’d just go to White Hart or Muse, which in my opinion are both superior in quality and atmosphere. There’s nothing wrong with Bean Tree, I just prefer the other two.
I ordered a lavender lemonade and a Cornerstone sandwich. The lemonade was good, and at $ 2.25 the large felt well priced. The sandwich was also pretty good, but it felt a bit small for a $ 7.75 price tag. I didn’t check their tea or coffee selection, so I can’t comment on those (furthermore, I’m not a coffee person, so I wouldn’t be helpful in that anyways lol).
In short, it’s not a bad spot to grab a bite and a drink if you’re there for a show or other coffee shops are out of the way, but I wouldn’t go out of my way for it. If Muse and White Hart weren’t around, Bean Tree might be able to snag another star from me, but as it stands it’s just not worth skipping those.

Cool new coffee shop in the developing Cornerstone community. Small and cozy with excellent décor, I highly recommend you give this spot a chance. It has a couple of outdoor seats, a long bar, and five or six tables. There is well balanced menu of coffee, specialty drinks, and food including many gluten free options. I recommend the chai tea latte with almond milk. One of the best I’ve ever had. The staff is friendly and helpful. I do wish they had more outdoor and indoor seating. A problem with most coffee shops in Lynchburg. Also it lacks that eccentric character that I love in a good coffee shop. Overall very good though!

2^nd visit here (first time there wasn’t a Unilocal for them). New place. Awesome atmosphere. There coffee beans aren’t roasted on site, but still roasted locally. Free WiFi. Reasonable prices. Their drip coffee is very good as well as the hot chai tea latte. Love that they offer almond milk! Got a punch card because I definitely intend to come back. They also have «question of the day» special that can get you extra punches on your loyalty card if you answer it correctly without cheating. What an awesome idea! Got 2 extra today! Score! Only gave four stars because I have yet to try any of their food selections, which range from normal pastries and breakfast sandwiches to salads, special lunch choices, and awesome sweets like s’mores. Also appreciate all their gluten free options! Will re-​do review once I try their food.

It’s a really cool place! I stopped by on a road trip after grabbing lunch and noticed it. The staff was so friendly and talkative, which was nice for a change. The prices for all of their drinks and food is very reasonable (mainly in comparison to Starbucks). I ordered an iced chai tea latte and it was pretty neat to see the barista hand-​stirring it while we were chatting. Once it was finished and I tasted it, my taste buds rejoiced! The blend of spices, tea, and milk were absolutely delicious and unique. Then my family and friend also ordered some drinks and they were very pleased.
The atmosphere is trendy, chill, and relaxing, as a coffee shop should be. There was a wide selection of drinks, foods, and treats which was impressing. The only negative thing I have to say is that it’s not close enough to home! Highly recommend if you are in the area.
