The Exceptional Bean

Good Coffee in a cool environment with a great mission: "The Exceptional Bean is an inclusive coffee shop that started as a small dream and has quickly become a reality thanks to the community of Cookeville. Our founder, Cigi England, wanted to create a space for individuals with disabilities to find employment and community. The Exceptional Bean is a non-profit organization that serves delicious coffee and cultivates an environment that is encouraging and welcoming for all." I am wearing my Exceptional Bean T-Shirt as I type this. Here's the Breakdown: Yummy coffee while helping others +5 stars. 100% will go back any time I am in Cookeville

Best coffee that I have had in Cookeville! I ordered a white chocolate latte, which was delicious. The atmosphere is amazing and the decor is great as well. I really enjoyed hanging out and enjoying my beverage here.

What an incredible place this is ! We walked in , the exterior and interior are looking nice, we got lattes , delicious, and met Michael and Cigi, the owners. And they are amazing, so as everyone working in here. There is a purpose, there is a sincere desire to make a difference and lots of efforts and energy put into this mission! It’s been a pleasure meeting them, chatting and we would love to come back!

It’s more than just great coffee — it’s a place where inclusion lives. They uplift and embrace people with disabilities, making every visit meaningful.

The Exceptional Bean is a local coffee shop that offers a warm and inviting atmosphere. The staff is always friendly and attentive, making you feel right at home. Their coffee is exceptional, with a variety of blends that cater to all tastes. Whether you're looking for a place to work, catch up with friends, or just enjoy a great cup of coffee, this is the perfect spot. Support local small businesses instead of the big chains. Highly recommended!
