Little Bean Coffee Company

I cannot say enough good things about this cozy, quaint, adorable coffee shop. I feel like I’m back in my small college town when I step inside. The coffee and tea are hands down the best in the area. I’m so thrilled to find a place that has gluten & dairy free food and drink in Antioch. They’re super allergy friendly here. Parking can get a bit challenging but the downtown area is super walkable.

Growing up, I always saw characters in movies and TV shows go into a coffee shop where the baristas knew their name. Little Bean is that coffee shop for me! I love all of the seasonal drinks and always work my way through the menu each season to find my favorite (although I couldn't choose between the Campfire Coldbrew and the Bananas Foster this past summer, they are both winners to me). Caramel Corn Cold Brew is fast becoming my fall menu favorite this season, although I'll always love Sweater Weather. All of that to say, please check out Little Bean! The seasonal menu is better than any chain coffee shop can manage and the service is top-notch. The vibes are perfect if you need somewhere to just hang out and read and feel part of community or if you need somewhere to drink great coffee,

My Iced Mocha had the perfectly light amount of chocolate. Place is LGBTQ+ friendly, offers large meeting tables in the front room, and cozy children's toy room in the back. There was a small free pantry of cereals and canned goods. I wish I wasn't just visiting. This is the type of place I'd love to support more.

This coffee shop is elite because of what it means to the community. For example, they currently have someone teach a paint class every Saturday. They also have a free little pantry that is stacked with items. They have a craft area as well. You could spend hours here easily. The coffee menu has specials changing all the time too.

Lots of interestingly decorated rooms in an older building right downtown. I got the holiday special wrap of bacon potatoes and gouda cheese and it was very good. Didn’t get any coffee so can’t say how that is but they have a lot of choices. The food did take some time to arrive but I had work to do so it was fine. I read a review on yelp that people were a bit territorial about their little spaces and I could see that. People were definitely camped out in their own corners, but I found a table and they have free Wi-Fi. I’d recommend it.
