If you haven’t been to Ankeny’s hottest new Co-Working space, you have to check it out!Blue Bean really outdid themselves here.They even have a podcast studio! ✌️Locally owned and operated.Odds are the owner will hand deliver your latte.My kinda place!5 Stars for sure.

Whether you’re new to Coffee or you are a Coffee connoisseur this place is great! They have really high quality coffee and brewing methods that others in the area just do not offer. They offer a Chemex pour over brew for a very affordable price. I tried the Ethiopian bean they have today and can say it was very smooth. The manager was extremely hospitable. Every other time I’ve come the employees truly show they care. A quiet environment as well which is hard to find with Coffee shops most of the time. Please try local and give this place your support!

Absolutely love this place! Stopped in on a business trip. Atmosphere was trendy and cool. Coffee was amazing. Wish we had one of these where I live. I’d be there all the time

What a great concept for small or large meeting groups and coffee, refreshments and snacks are right there!

Spotlessly clean and cofortable, good place to study or have a business meetingExcellent coffee or chai

ABSOLUTELY THE BEST COFFEE IN Ankeny, if not the metro. Feel completely confident ordering anything off their menu. Delicious breakfast food, simple and amazing.Horchatta latte and Nitro were our choice today, drop the mic great.Will definitely continue to make this our spot when we come to town.

Amazing coffee and treats. This banana dark chocolate scone is the best I’ve ever eaten! I love this place.

No place better than BLUE BEAN.The experience. The food. The atmosphere. The staff. The End. They even have curbside available. JUST GO.

Coffee is excellent! Havent had a chance to try out the co-working but I did get a tour of the space and it looks like a great setup.

Cool place for a shower!

Great coffee shop, very clean friendly service that was also quick. Inside is a clean comfortably decorated space with lots of room to sit down and relax.

I roast my own coffee at home and am very particular. The Blue Bean serves Intelligentsia Coffee roasted in Chicago. Ive heard of it and seen their advertising but never had it. The coffee was awesome, hands down fantastic! Great environment as well... very creative space!

We walked into the space to try the coffee, and immediately fell in love with this place, and the idea....The coffee we tried is from Intelligentsia Roasters, and it’s very very good! Excellent quality and fresh! The space can be rented by the hour, day, week, etc. and is perfect for the small business or work-from-home crowd. Definitely needs to be checked out and promoted!

Blue Bean has a great vibe- indoor and outdoor space that complemented the excellent cup of coffee.I had a large, El Diablo with half and half. Don’t let the name fool you, the coffee was very smooth and rich. My friend had the Cyclone and he loved it.I will definitely be back... regularly....

Stopped in for the open house today. Had a great conversation and comprehensive tour of the facility by Carlos, the owner. What a place! The facility is amazing; such an attention to even the smallest details. Built for the thinking mind and collaborator in mind; the individual to the small group. A first-class place to get work done. The staff is top-notch, friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. I wish you all the best with your new endeavor. P.S. The coffee is good too. :)

All in all, not terrible coffee. The dark roast I got was pretty light. I do not feel the need to return to this place, but also wouldnt avoid it. They do have an interesting area that you can rent out as office space if you have the funds for it.To sum it up in one word: meh...

This place is exceptional! If you ever jump from coffee shop to coffee shop to get work done you will appreciate a day spent at the Blue Bean. Every detail is geared toward you being productive. I stopped in to try out a day pass and got so much work done I’ve already been back 7 or 8 times. Hard to explain but the experience is something you need to try to appreciate. I hope others find it as helpful as I have.

Great coffee great service!

This is one of the coolest and most unique ideas I have ever seen! Great people behind it too! I cant give Blue Bean enough praise!

Blue Bean has an incredibly positive and uplifting vibe. Everything is clean, neat, and bright—so getting work done is easy. I loved the staff and the coffee was delicious.If you get a chance to hear Carlos’ story, do it.

Love this place! Super friendly staff and great coffee — quiet and unique setup.

Great coffee and avocado toast. Awesome place to work and hang out.

Very clean and modern working space. The owners are really nice and accommodating! Also check out the cold brewed nitro coffee shop connected to it

A very good place to work if you need an office for hours or for a week. A very good place if you just want to taste an exceptional coffee.

This place is beautiful! Everything is so new and polished. I ordered the Hot Chocolate and and was very good, baristas were also very kind and the candles smell amazing! It is very spacious. I will soooo come back!

Summary:I dont have enough good things to say about the place.I stopped in for a day due to needing a remote office while in town visiting family. I opted for the myOffice day pass and even though they where out of offices they put me in one their smaller meeting rooms which cost by the hour to rent but since I asked prior they honored my price.. honestly saved my butt as I had about 12 or so conference calls.The owners are dedicated and care about your experience, I was always asked if I needed anything and to make sure my experience was productive and enjoyable.The atmosphere is great, relaxed but at the end of the day people are here to work. I will say if you are a design oriented person you will like the space as it does feel creative and rooms are inducive to a creative workflow.The coffee is good and I am not even a coffee drinker (prefer tea).Nice snack and food options, the Avocado Joy at the recommendation of the owner was just the little pick me up I needed and while not super economical was fairly priced at the portion size.The WiFi is solid, and fast!Temperature and noise level are great!I have been to other co-work spaces both larger and more well funded and I would choose Blue Bean over any of them.I hope they are here and flourishing when I need to come back!

Very cool place for co-working and good coffee too

Great environment and some unique menu choices that are a pleasant surprise!

Very cool place with great coffee!

Great coffee, great service. Love the concept.

I cant say enough good things about Blue Bean!You wont find a more dedicated, local owner or a nicer place to co-work. Both the coworking space and the coffee shop have tons of natural lighting and its just a beautiful space. They have a couple wonderful cold teas that were delicious too! Its a very clean, organized place and fast internet (as youd expect).The other people in the coworking space are fantastic also. If youre an entrepreneur or small business owner, this is the place you want to be. Sometimes on Fridays there are special treats too. I wont complain about strawberries and cookies delivered to my desk!

Great environment and customer service

Incredible coffee and incredible service!! This might be my new go-to coffee shop!

Fun atmosphere. Great avocado toast!

Bright, friendly, clean place to get some work done. Go for the coffee and stay for the awesome environment!

Exciting atmosphere, you know things are happening!

Delicious tea, fast internet, friendly service, outdoor seating. Love it!

Wonderful, comfortable space to have some great coffee and/or get some work done!

Blue Bean is awesome: combination co-working/coffee shop has something for everyone who works and drinks coffee . . . oh wait - thats redundant.

Great coffee and co-working space!

For those that work at home (or the road warrior) that need an workspace for a bit.

Unique concept, check it out!
