Review by Jace Runolfsson

September 24, 2024

The Human Bean is my go-to coffee shop in Brownsville! ☕️ The atmosphere is trendy yet casual, perfect for grabbing a quick breakfast or enjoying a leisurely sip.

I recently indulged in their horchata granita with coconut milk - absolutely divine! The cold brew with caramel and cold foam was a fantastic pick-me-up too.

Plus, every drink comes with a candy-covered espresso bean, which is such a sweet touch! The staff is friendly and helpful despite occasionally being busy.

Definitely worth the visit if you're in the area! 😄
