poor service

by lisam12345

Coffee is wonderful. Service can be unprofessional and I question their pricing practices. I placed a website order only to find out AFTER i was charged and coffee was delivered, that prices had gone up 15%-30% (on my order vs the website prices). When i called the store they said that prices had gone up. I could possibly believe this but 3 weeks after i placed the order the website prices still did not reflect any increase. When i stopped in their store i did NOT see any of the higher prices that i was charged either. This seems somehow dishonest to the customer, does it not?

best Coffee & cookie products

by lili white presents

I love Sensuous Beans' own BLEND, which they also sell by the cup. There is variety of green and herbal teas, and they are all full-leaf varieties, which makes for a stronger flavor, which I like--no more bagged teas for me!

I also enjoy the selection of big cookie-like products they offer which are a great addition to any carry away cup. I find the staff friendly and helpful.

I also like their Holiday Gift Boxes --which can be personally crafted by yourself if you so desire. And those who have received them have found them wonderful. In today's world of the McDonalds/Starbucks mass market, its nice to find a place that's personal, knowledgeable and treats you like a good neighbor...

• Pros: best cookies with coffee

A Must Try!!!!

by Bondi

This is my favorite coffee shop. The staff is always friendly and very knowledgeable. The take-out coffee is a great start to my day, but I particularly love the great selection of beans. I often give gift baskets from The Sensuous Bean that are always a winner!! This is definitely a must try!! A charming shop that always pleases!!

• Pros: Friendly knowledgeable staff and great coffee
• Cons: None

Incredible~Signature blends! You MUST go & try this!

by Musiqlvr

I am hooked! 1st of all the other reviews are clearly written by chains--- since this staff is SUPER-KNOWLEDGABLE, the variety is AMAZING, and I had stellar service!! I told the woman I like coconut and she suggested I try the blend of coconut, chocolate, and almond coffees to make an Almond Joy Coffee blend! AMAZINGLY TERRIFIC-- I bought a few pounds for friends as gifts =)

• Pros: Make your own blends!!!
• Cons: none

A great latte can make your day..

by khanirl

Or it can completely ruin it. I try to frequent independent coffee places, so as I was in the neighborhood and saw the sign, I thought I'd give it a try. Suffice to say it was the worst latte I've had in a long time-I suspect it was made with filter coffee rather than espresso and it was horribly bitter and watery. It made me very unhappy! So my advice is, don't buy the take-away coffee drinks here. (Also I'd agree with the previous poster, the staff seemed very unprofessional).

• Pros: Smells nice inside
• Cons: HORRIBLE latte!
