This place is better than Starbucks and Im a starbucks fan but THE BIG BEAN is better. Yep Ive tried it 3 times, consistent, nice and great customer service. They have reasonable prices. I tried the Sweet and Healthy smoothie. A Carmel Frappuccino, and a Strawberry Fruit smoothie and a Banana Nut Bread muffin. You wont be disappointed! Worth a visit.

Great coffee, great service. Love supporting small businesses.

I really love customer service, its quick and nice to people. They making drinks really fast and theyre drinks doesnt have too much sugar which makes it really different and nice. If i will compare their coffee to Rise up coffee or Starbucks, their coffee less sweet and more natural flavored. This place also offers delicious snack and cookies, which you have to try if you will be there!

The Americano slaps. My kids always ask a minimum of 1000 questions about the baked goods and always end up getting something else they didn’t ask any questions about. I figured the least I could do was give them a good review for the patience with my children.

I always love this place. They help me make my order as waste-free as possible and they cater to the B&A trailgoers by having service at the back of the shop. Nice tables out back too.

Great place to buy coffee great people working there Location off the B and a bike trail Mr. Bob The father of the owner is the man Great person to talk to As well as a great coffee experience👌

The best little local coffee and tea shop. They have a huge variety of blends, plus snacks and are always coming up with new coffee concoctions. Highly recommend over starbucks or any other chain.

Really nice cafe. Staff is very nice and friendly. Loved their coffee drinks. The macadamia frappe and vanilla coconut frappe were great! They also have fresh baked goods.

The smoothie was surprisingly good. I got the green gorilla. Unfortunately they did forget our second drink. And we just kind of sat there like a sad little puppy at the back door.

Big Bean has the BEST Iced Oat Milk lattes in Anne Arundel County! If you are feeling frisky you can get an extra shot of espresso which is yummy too. They are always kind, quick and play great music. Looking forward to the one opening up on Bestgate!!

Great local coffee shop. Known about it for years but, I just realized they had a back outdoor seating area by the trail!

Friendly staff. Quint little coffee shop. The breve I got was prepared quickly and very tasty!

Their new location in Annapolis is an absolute charm! A friendly staff, but also their coffee and flavors are on point. Thank you for expanding your local business to Annapolis!

Not a big fan of their mocha, but every else here that I have tried is good! The muffins are so good and they even have vegan and gluten free pastry options! They are also really friendly to the people on the trail, putting up heaters in the winter and happy to give runners water(sorry if we were inconveniences)

Wonderful wonderful coffee shop. My new go to in the mornings. Staff is cheerful and everything tastes quality. Big Bean is one of the few coffee shops that doesnt rely on teenagers, being paid minimum wage. The staff is professional, curtious, and cares about getting your drink right. I would choose Big Bean over Starbucks or Rise Up any day.

Great coffee & nice outdoor seating area to relax

Friendly staff. Really good coffee and great GF and Vegan treat selection. Love how much they support other local shops

Friendly staff, amazing drinks! Manager gave us a free cookie on our way out. Definitely worth a try.

Quaint shop, great selection of pastries and phenomenal coffee with wonderful friendly workers.

Perfect coffee every-time ….keeps me awake all day!

AWESOME Sunday after church coffees

Lattes are creamy and delicious.

Starbucks is garbonzo beans compared to this cozy coffee shop with insanely good service and good coffee and hot coacoa i like hummus to its a pun

Awesome muffins, coffee, and treats! Its also right next to the trail so it makes a great mid-ride stop!

By foot, bike or car this is a wonderful place to get a cup of coffee. The local staff is very friendly. There is an entrance on the road as well as a pickup/ ordering window on the bike trail. Ample seating is available in the alley and along the bike trail.

Great neighborhood coffee shop. Lots of outdoor seating in the back along the B&A trail.

Delicious coffee, fabulous coffee cake (not overly sweet) and courteous, prompt service.

The Lavender Vanilla Latta was delicious!

Love the coffee and staff is great

I love this place. They make amazing lattes mochas and I love their green gorilla smoothy after a long run. They are super friendly and do quick work

My favorite place to get a coffee and walk on the trail. Super awesome staff!!

Wonderful coffee and friendly people. The owner is genuinely passionate about the coffee. Will definitely be back!

Great food and great service

A good variety, delicious coffee. I love the Mexican mocha they serve

Nice stop on the trail.

Great coffee and friendly and relaxing atmosphere!

Got the Mexican Mocha, absolutely fantastic. Friendly, fun, great quality products. Sitting area outback was the perfect environment

Great coffee drinks. Very friendly staff.

Always amazing customer service, fun drink offerings, and the only place in the area where I can get a bialy! I like going to a place where the staff knows my name and genuinely cares about my experience.

Great staff. Favorite spot when visiting!

I love going here. Saturday mornings we head to Big Bean for coffee and next door to Sophies for a crepe. Great combo location.

Better than Starbucks!

Just added more outdoor seating. Very very friendly and nice people and great drinks. Highly recommend.

New favorite coffee and tea spot. The staff is amazing and friendly.

Very good coffee. Lots of gluten free snack options.

Nice place for a cup of joe.

An older woman took my order and was so mean to me. It was my first time there so I didn’t know what to get. I even let her know, but she rolled her eyes and told me to “hurry it up”. Will not be coming back

Nitro was tasty

Always amazing!

Breakfast cookies here are amazing, coffee is ALWAYS delicious no matter what day you come in. I will gladly drive out of my way to come here over Starbucks.

Great coffee, fun people, healthy & delicious food, and on the B&A Trail. What could be better!

Carry gluten free stuff.

The people that work at the Big Bean are always so friendly! The coffee is the best around. Fresh and served with a great big smile!

The staff are very pleasant. I had a delicious almond milk mocha and chocolate crescent.

Had one of their iced lattes... pretty good! Beats that other coffee place...

Very cute coffee bar that has a wonderful rear counter to serve patrons from the BNA trail behind it. I cant help but visit each time Im out there!

Love the coffee and really love the helpful and incredibly awesome staff. The vibe is great and it’s the perfect local community friendly place. If there’s one small suggestion it would be to play more accessible music, like Fleetwood Mac or the yacht rock station. I find the new agey indie tunes unsettling

As always, the staff of the Big Bean are happy and smiling. Try a Nitro coffee and Breakfast Cookie. You will love them.

Coffee and service is excellent. I just wish the store used more sustainable products such as recycled paper cups, and recycled paper products. Other than that, amazing business.

Great small town coffee house.

Best place for non-dairy milk options. Cozy atmosphere, great place to meet up with a friend. Convenient to bike trail, restaurants, shopping.

Cute little coffee shop nestled in a strip center right on Baltimore Annapolis Blvd in severna park. Get your coffee and some pastries or bagel to go with it. Though space is small there is room to sit and also space outback if needed. The interior is perfectly done for a coffee shop. Get in and out quickly if you have to get to work, service is quick and friendly!

A great local coffee shop. Easy access from the B&A Rail Trail

Nice little coffeeshop with all kinds of goodies to go with their many delicious coffees and teas. Will be a returning customer

This joint was jumping, w lots of chatty customers and very friendly staff. Take your coffee around back and sip it at the picnic tables next to the bike trail. Pastries and whatnot looked fantastic, although I didnt bite. Coffee was good not great, but the place has a wonderfully friendly vibe.

So awesome to have a great midpoint stop while bike riding the B&A!!

I have visited Big Bean a handful of times and Ive always had a positive experience. The coffee is always wonderful, the espresso based drinks are superb, and the food is right on par. The staff is always friendly and willing to listen to whatever funky version of a drink you come up with. Parking is the only downside here. The lot is small and its shared with other businesses, which makes it hard to maneuver vehicles. Regardless, dont let the mild parking inconvenience deter you from stopping in. Youll be glad you did!

Had a dark roast coffee with a shot of Espresso, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Cheaper than Starbucks, and my wife really enjoyed the cookies!

Locally owned. I had an earnest conversation with the women working there. They shine as a small business

Best coffee shop ever! Great local spot. Good coffee and great service. Cookies and baked goodies are amazing!

Best coffee anywhere! Super friendly owners and staff. Different Yummy flavored coffees each day. Great environment and right on the BandA trail!

You walk in this place and the delicious smell of coffee instantly surrounds you... Its amazing!! They have hilarious little magnets and such to sell as well as amazing coffee and treats. The atmosphere is very comforting, and yet the staff have funny items posted around the shop, such as..... Well, youd have to see for yourself. ;)

This place is the best. All the staff are really friendly. They have the best seasonal drinks and they even have oat milk. Were from Asheville and the coffee shops there are amazing, the big bean beats many of those in my opinion!

Really like the coffee and atmosphere! One quick tip, my boyfriend and coworkers always go on break at or a little after 3. Wed love to be able to stop by and get our caffeine fix here! So let this be our vote if youre thinking about closing later for summer. Cheers!

A small, friendly, independent coffee shop that actually makes great coffee. Wouldnt it be great if you could say that about every independent business? Right off of the B&A biking trail, so its perfect place to go for a run or a bike and then stop in for a coffee. Tables in the back are a great place to sit and watch the world go by.Im so pleased there is a place like this in our town.

Great stop along the B&A Trail!

Friendly staff, quaint location, good coffee!

I bought coffee and they wouldnt let me use the bathroom

Variety of options for your drinks. Comfortable and quiet environment which makes for a great work environment. Overall amazing experience!

Love the taste of their coffee 👍🏼

Awesome, family-owned, local business! The coffee is top notch and the atmosphere is wonderful.

Great coffee, delicious snacks... just a wonderful place to stop while riding the B&A trail, or just running errands.

My favorite coffee place. The staff is always so friendly, they have great prices, great drinks, pastries are delicious, and fun things for sale!

Very well ran, great coffee

Great local coffee shop. Support local and go here. You will love it.

Such a nice little coffee shop.Love their paper straws.

Super bike and community friendly local shop with great coffee, smoothies, snacks and more. A favorite among cyclists, runners and walkers on the B&A Trail!

Wish I could give zero stars. Almost every time I go in I am not greeted by the management. They are usually rude and act like they dont have time. Last time I went for coffee the barista was on the phone and was extremely short with me. Also I dont find that the college aged employees are rude. Just the upper management. The experience is defiantly not worth the coffee or the ridiculous prices.

Cute place, but the coffee just wasnt great. Super weak. The cookies, on the other hand, were on point.

The coffee and staff are first rate. Excellent choices and unique blends. Lots of funny gifts and special treats too. (even dog treats).Cool location - right on the B&A trail with tables and chair for outside seating.

Super friendly and a great neighborhood vibe. The nitro coffee is good but not live changing, but I really dug the fun latte, banana nut bread. Also the peanut butter rice crispy thing is really fantastic.

Cute coffee and loose tea shop right off the b&a trail. Its about 2.5 miles walk on the trail from the Earleigh Heights entrance, so extremely convenient if youre walking the trail in the cold. Husband had the chai and liked it. I tried one of their loose teas and was extremely happy with it.

Nice space, nice atmosphere. Seemed really community focused.

The staff is friendly and knowledgeable and the coffee is pretty awesome. They offer Bulletproof Coffee with grass fed butter and coconut oil! I make that at home, bit have never seen it on a menu at a coffee shop before.

Love the bullet proof coffee with house blend. Go Clemson

For a more personal, community - oriented cup of joe, The Big Bean is a hidden gem in Severna Park. Such a lovely coffee shop, great staff; the coffee & tea drinks are amazing. They even have loose leaf tea and will brew it there for you. Prices are reasonable. Pastries are outstanding and always fresh - and have all kinds of options. The shop is very community / civically minded, and supports the local community in many ways. Note that finding a place to sit indoors is a challenge - I suggest the tables and chairs in back, as the shop buffets the B&A trail. A wonderful way to spend a relaxing weekend morning!

A better atmosphere than any Starbucks youll ever experience! Wonderfully friendly and welcoming. A wide variety of offerings of the beverage, and food, type—even some treats for the dogs in your life. Right on the B & A trail too!

Im from Ohio, and visited here on my road trip! Absolutely delicious! Sure beats Starbucks and other coffee shops Ive tried. Baristas were very friendly and helpful and the atmosphere was great! Love love love 😌

The place to get the best coffee, plus! Community focused. Friendly staff. A must visit place in Severna Park.

Great coffee and atmosphere! Super friendly staff too!
