The Food:

During my visit to Bean Thru Coffee Shaler, I decided to try both the Caramel Chiller and the Mocha Chiller. The Caramel Chiller offered a bold coffee flavor perfectly balanced with sweet caramel and topped with a generous swirl of whipped cream. The Mocha Chiller was equally delightful, combining rich chocolate with robust coffee for a satisfying treat. A charming detail was the single coffee bean placed atop the lid of every drink, adding a touch of flair to the presentation. While Bean Thru offers a variety of hot and cold beverages, they also have an array of food options, including bagels and breakfast sandwiches. Both drinks' exceptional taste and thoughtful presentation left a lasting impression, making them standout choices at this cozy coffee spot.

Service:

Bean Thru is drive-thru only so you cannot go inside to order. In fact, the building looks like a decorated toll booth or ticket window. The bright neon signs invite you to either side of the booth. There is no speaker to order through. Instead, you speak with the staff right at the window and tell them what you want. It took me only a short time to get my order. 

Atmosphere:

Bean Thru is simple and efficient. The experience begins as you pull up to the vibrant, bright green building, which stands out clearly on the highway, making it easy to spot. Once there, you order at the window, and the friendly staff ensures you receive your fresh drink quickly. The straightforward, no-fuss setup allows for a seamless experience, ideal for those on the go. The simplicity of Bean Thru’s operation is a testament to its focus on quality and customer satisfaction, providing a refreshing and convenient coffee stop.
