Bean & Bean Wall St

☕️💬 Bean & Bean – Had potential, but didn’t quite warm our hearts Today my husband and I were walking through the Financial District 🏙️, enjoying the day, and looking for a quiet place to take a break and have a coffee. We found Bean & Bean, and while it looked promising from the outside — simple, a bit nostalgic — the experience inside left us feeling a bit disappointed. When we walked in, the first thing we noticed was how old and untouched everything felt — from the front doors to the furniture. It’s not necessarily a bad thing, and I understand some might call it “vintage charm,” but to us, it felt more like the café hadn’t evolved in years. Even the cups were the most basic takeout kind — no brand, no detail, no personal touch 🥤 We ordered our drinks and took a seat. But then… nothing. ❌ No one asked for a name. ❌ No one explained the pickup process. ❌ No one let us know our coffee was ready. We just sat there, unsure of what to expect. I eventually went up to ask, and our drinks were already sitting there — cold. No one called us, no one brought them over, and no one checked in. Even though it was clear we were waiting. It may sound small, but these moments matter. When you go for coffee, especially in a city like New York, you’re often craving not just caffeine — but a little kindness, a bit of energy, some warmth. The coffee itself? Honestly, forgettable. Just… okay. And that would’ve been fine, if the experience felt more connected. But it didn’t. 💡 So if you’re just grabbing a quick caffeine fix and don’t mind an impersonal vibe, this might do the job. But if you’re looking for atmosphere, care, and attention — you may want to look elsewhere. ⭐️ Rating: 2/5 — we wanted more than just coffee 👉 DO NOT RECOMMEND 🚫 (Personally mine)

This is the second time I order iced matcha latte, the matcha latte remain rich and hit the spot. I did not ask the name but the lady that handle the afternoon shift serve customer professionally and friendly, she deserve a raise. I will definitely come back for more drinks!

Bean & Bean on Wall Street is a rare quiet pocket in the middle of the Financial District rush. The coffee is overall fine although the temperature of the cappuccino was not optimal. Staff are friendly without overdoing it, and service moves alright. Seating is limited, so it’s not ideal for lingering, but for a thoughtful cup of coffee and a short pause, it really delivers.

Great place! Nice atmosphere, friendly service, and the coffee is delicious. You can tell it's high quality. I recommend it to anyone who enjoys good coffee!

Good location, nice space, great pastries. Coffee was burnt, and ice latte ended up costing $7 though this is not stated anywhere on the menu

Bean & Bean has upped their game, and roasting some incredible coffees that are Cup of Excellence winners from various Latin American producers. Rachel and Jiyoo Han, the mother-daughter co-owners, are also both Q Graders. If you see either of them in the shop, they are very friendly and happy to talk about coffee with you!

Great location whether you’re a coffee nerd or just looking for something yummy to sip on. The baristas are knowledgeable and friendly. The gesha espresso was actually reasonable priced. (I paid $10 for something similar in another shop in the city and wasn’t nearly as good.) Definitely check these guys out!

Visit today for coffee meetup, with couple friends they have unique specialty grade coffees for to taste different cups owner and staff very friendly coffee taste great would recommend to visit.

I think we've all seen the wave of companies promoting signature iced coffee drinks this summer (maybe even longer than that) so whenever I pop into a coffee shop I'm unfamiliar with I expect the drink to be more of a cute little treat than quality coffee. This was NOT the case here haha. I can attest that the coffee used in this drink is quite strong and tasty. And the lavender infusion wasn't overly sweet or overbearing but mixed into the drink perfectly. I would tread lightly though (in a good way!) oh - and the staff were super nice and friendly :-)

We visited Bean & Bean while exploring the Financial District -- and left a little disappointed. My husband and I were walking around and wanted a quiet spot to relax with some coffee. From the outside, this café looked quaint -- maybe even charming with its older architecture and cozy size. So we stepped in, hoping for a calm coffee moment. But the experience just didn't hit the mark. The interior feels untouched by time, which might appeal to some, but to us it felt outdated -- not in a nostalgic way, but more like it hadn't been refreshed in years. Even the coffee cups were just basic, unbranded, and added to that "nothing special" feeling. But the real issue? The service. We ordered, sat down, and then... silence. There was no name taken, no announcement, and no one brought anything over. Eventually I went up to the counter, and there were our drinks -- just sitting there, cold. It felt like no one was really paying attention -- and that disconnect mattered. I'm not expecting luxury or fanfare -- just a simple sign of care. A "your coffee's ready," or even eye contact would've made a difference. Instead, we were left sipping lukewarm drinks in silence, wondering what went wrong. If you're nearby and just want a no-frills coffee, you might still go. But if you're hoping for any kind of warmth, personality, or decent service -- this may not be it. It's New York -- there are plenty of great cafés around, and honestly, this one didn't give us a reason to come back. 2/5 -- left with cold coffee and colder vibes DO NOT RECOMMEND (Personally mine)

I got a medium iced oat milk latte and it was $8.00. I get it that rent is expensive but $8.00 for a 12 oz cup that is half ice is crazy!! Then tip brings it up to $9. The atmosphere was just okay. It's not a super comfortable place to sit and work. The interior seems a little rundown. I am sure there must be a better coffee shop in fidi.

Came here a few times to try their items and i love how their items aren't that sweet compared to other cafes. I enjoyed their lemon poppy muffin & their lavender latte. Lemon poppy muffin-5/5- not too sour or sweet. It had just the right texture and i would totally get it again! Lavender latte- 5/5- honestly the winner out of all the drinks I've tried here. The lavender compliments the coffee out and it just makes you feel caffeinated. Service is always nice here & theres ample seating. No minimum for card and they have 2 bathrooms I believe. Great for studying!

This AAPI-female owned coffee shop is wonderful! I got to try their new seasonal drinks (coming soon) and both were great. The Lavender Latte does have a good lavender taste and the Einspanner comes with a rich cream. I would pass on the matcha; thought it was just alright and too earthy. However, their Avocado Toast is really fresh and yummy! I would also recommend the Nutella Banana Bread which is not overly sweet. The workers are all very friendly and kind when taking your order.

This coffee shop is a woman owed small business. They offer GREAT coffee, pastries and definitely excellent service.

This place was absolutely terrible - $8 for hands down the most disgusting matcha latte I've ever tasted in my life. Gritty, burnt and just straight up horrific-tasting. Do not ever go here if you are a matcha lover because I think this overpriced and shitty coffeeshop has just put me off of them forever.

Service was pleasant. Wasn't busy when I arrived, only one other customer. Seating was plentiful. I ordered the darkest/strongest pour over and an avocado toast with poached egg. Shortly afterwards the barista informed me that they didn't have the usual (best seller, Peruvian maybe) and maybe I'd prefer a medium roast. Well enough, it's was decent, but that's more my personal preference. The avocado and the toast were ok (just ok - not bad not great). However the "poached" egg was just a microwaved hard boiled egg. That defeats the entire purpose of getting the poached on the toast. It (along with 15-minute wait) killed the experience. Thankfully I was able to stop on my way back to the apartment at Dunk'n Donuts on Pine St and get a cup of their Midnight Coffee. That gave me the dark brewed flavor I was craving.

I was looking for a place that has decent coffee and enough seating to work so that my friend and I could catch up and work together in the city. Bean & Bean Coffee Roasters got the job done. It fit all my requirements--it had enough seating for people to work, and the drinks were decent. Overall a good experience and I'd definitely keep it in mind for the future if I'm ever trying to work at a cafe in FiDi again.

I love this place and stop by every few weeks because its in my neighborhood. The iced honey latte is a must - not too sweet but refreshing and delicious! I hate that I get charged extra for oat milk but that's the norm everywhere so can't gripe too much about it. On the pricier end for coffee but I feel like it's worth it for a treat.

Stumbled in here over the weekend looking to try a new coffee shop. We settled on Bean and Bean after doing some research on spots in the area. One thing to note, the entrance is a bit hidden between some tall columns! The inside is cute with a few tables to sit and enjoy, and I noticed quite a few little stuffed sloths as well. Not sure the story behind them, but it was a fun touch. We got a cold brew and a honey latte to share. I thought the cold brew was a bit bitter for my preferences, and the honey latte was indulgently sweet. Together, they unintentionally made a great pairing! If I'm in the mood for a cold brew I'd likely go elsewhere, but I would definitely return for the honey latte (or to try another drink)!

Really great spot for a solid oat milk latte. Appreciate the large variety of vegan pastries. I especially liked the banana walnut muffin. There's quite a bit of seating and I was able to work here all day easily. Love the sloth theme :)

I appreciated the coffee on a cold morning, but the place could use some improvement. The service was not very good (they took a long time to prepare my coffee, even though it was not busy when I was there).

Soo good. Their coffee based drinks are perfectly crafted. I am so glad I found this place. I have moments when I get tired of Starbucks and want something a little different. Their caramel macchiato with oat milk is chef's kiss, and each time I get it no matter who makes it is super consistent in taste. I often come here to do work and I am just able to focus and zone out and do work. It's never to loud, even though their are usually a good amount of people occupying the space. Let me put you on... get the nutella stuffed banana bread and thank me later ! You're welcome!

The location was close to my hotel and it has rave reviews. Beside, all I want was a cup of hot black coffee to warm up. Assume all the rave reviews the coffee got to be tasty and flavorful. The house brew coffee I was tasted awful. The whole time I was in New York I stay away from coffee and opt for tea. I was very baffled with all the rave reviews as a basic black coffee can tasted to bad. It was much work than gas station coffee. After a couple of sips, I tossed it.

Bean & Bean Coffee Roasters was such a lovely find! My boyfriend and I had just arrived in New York and were in big need of some caffeine. Bean & Bean Coffee Roasters came up as the closest place on Wall Street so we headed inside! The girl at the counter has been training and she seemed to be really kind throughout that process, which as a bystander, I appreciated. My boyfriend got a simple latte and I got a matcha latte. Both were very delicious! It was not your standard Starbucks-type coffee. It was not overly sweet and very warm. It was the perfect way to begin the morning. Overall, our experience was very pleasant! Should I find myself again in New York, I would love to visit Bean & Bean Coffee Roasters again! 8/10 recommend

So many choices in the morning for coffee in New York Financial District but I wanted to try something different. The Bean & Bean Coffee Roasters didn't disappoint. They have great white chocolate mocha. Good coffee experience.

Delicious avocado toast! The sandwich board with a photo of the avocado toast brought me in, and it did not disappoint! It took a little longer then I expected, so maybe don't stop if you're in a hurry. But if you have a few minutes to wait it's worth it! Typical cafe vibes, coffee house music playing lots of tables and seats. Must try if you're in the area.

Got a Iced Caramel Latte from here. Really good, but a little pricey. Nice scenery and in a good location. Temperature was ideal in here and the servers were really nice.

I was hoping to find a latte with more than just your basic flavors (vanilla/caramel/hazelnut) and I am so happy I found this place! I went here 2 days in a row for the honey latte with oat milk -- tried Both the iced and hot -- and they were both perfect. The service was quick and the employees were nice.

Delicious got a hot chocolate, cappuccino and oat milk mocha! They do a beautiful design on top of your deliciously rich drink! Highly recommend stopping in to warm up with one of their drinks. Croissants were also delicious.

My second time here . I left a tip anyway just because I always do but the barista certainly didn't deserve it . Bad service and unfriendly . The coffee is just generic and the pastry was dry and stale plus expensive . Not an place I will come back to and it's a shame because I live next door ..

Having moved to this area I am looking for my new coffee place and I found it with bean and bean. Every time I go there the staff are very friendly and inviting. I like the quality of the food and coffee and the price is right. I recommend you to make this place your number one coffee stop if you're in the financial district. The pastries are also very good and I really like the human warmth I feel when I come to this place.

I am absolutely obsessed with their iced honey latte! This is how I start every morning before work

Financial district have loads of coffee shops and this one fits right in. Itis kind of rinky dink and needs a freshening up but they had good green tea. Plenty of seating too if you need to get some work done. 3 star spot.

It was a rainy fall day, and bean&bean was here to warm me up! I got the honey oat milk latte and WOW I don't think I can ever order anything else! Company got the iced americano, iced caramel coffee and regular drip coffee - all pretty standard according to their preferences. :) *they don't charge for other types of milk!! *they have a few tables open for indoor seating

Got an excellent London Fog and a Latte. Baristas make great lattes and the service is very fast. Nice people, good service, good drinks.

Had a bad experience in this location today. I gave 2 stars because the products were good. The service, however left a really bad taste in my mouth. I got coffee and a pastry. Then, I decided I wanted another pastry and asked the lady at the register to do an exchange. So far, so good. Here is the problem. Instead of doing an exchange, she took the pastry I got, gave me another one - charged me for the new one and never refunded the difference. I saw the transaction on my phone and asked her about it. First, she pretended to be busy with another customer and didn't answer my question. When the customer left, she lied and said she gave me a refund. I checked my account and saw that I paid $13 for a small coffee and a cookie. NY is expensive- but this is insane. I was mainly upset because the server lied about the refund, failed to address my question and I ended up over paying for something I didn't want. The coffee and the cookie were good - but the experience was not. I felt like she was "stealing" knowingly from me and I would have preferred if she just acknowledged and corrected her mistake. It's less about the money and more about the principle. If someone overcharged you and lied about it - would you go to the place again? Could this be an isolated experience? Maybe... but I do not want to see if it happens again.

Great coffee and service. The staff is so sweet and the vibe is chill and cool. Big fan!

Order the iced honey latte!! I visited New York over the weekend and stopped by bean & bean. The honey latte is SO delicious. Really sad I can't get this in Chicago. Similar to a chestnut praline latte but WAY better.

This is a nice interior coffee shop! I felt the customer service was a 3 because the server seemed really hasty to take order and not really communicate with the customer. She asked me what I would like twice when I was trying to decide and when she made my drink, there was no latte art. Beside that it's nice there is WiFi and bathroom. There is some space/seating to do work and meet with friend. My matcha hot latte was 5.40$ ish and that's pretty $$ but it did give me a lot of energy. It is near battery park and Nyack college so convenient. The mood is definitely rustic and it's above UPS store so it's easy to miss it! Their ice chai tea is great but also 4.90$ for such a small cup. #NYC haha I would come back for their pastries, and to work there.

Convenient for you Staten Islanders that take the SIM1 express bus, it's right between the stop and the Wall St subway station. Why should your commute involve a B&B coffee? It's flavorful body and aroma are a good perk and the staff is pretty by the books. They'll have you in and out with one of the few $4 coffees out there that's actually worth it :)

The first time I came, I got a chai latte, which I thought was quite flavorful but was not a fan of how spongey the foam was. The second time I came, I got their honey latte and it was phenomenal! It was super creamy and subtley sweet per their description. Really enjoyed the blend of sweetness, cream, and roasted flavors.

Amazing coffee. Ambiance is perfect. It is slightly tucked away, has a really cool industrial feel. The coffee is top notch. It's my go to spot when I stay in NY

Got the chai with almond milk & I absolutely loved it! The drinks here seem good & there's lots of seating available. Reminds me of coffee bean & tea leaf. The only downside for me is the prices. This is definitely on the pricier side. Cant wait to try more of their coffees

I love love love this place. I come from the Bronx just to come to this coffee shop. The staff helps with the ambiance of the shop as they are chill, welcoming and very knowledgeable. The coffee is great! Iced or hot!! I will say the tables stay pretty busy and I have yet to find something on the food menu that I ~love~ but everything is okay. That being said it is still my go to coffee shop for coffee and to get work done as well.

first time writing a review in my life, the barista was literally moving in slow motion for an iced latte. didn't know you had to mimic the sloths around you for the job. couldn't even tell you how it taste because i had to catch a bus and couldn't wait any longer.

Such a nice cute spot. I ordered avo toast with a poach egg and a cold brew. It came super fast. To start, they signed my name with a heart which was absolutely adorable. Second, they gave me a second cold brew for free AND a free sample of their downtown blend. Toast was perfect and egg was perfectly poached. Totally recommend.

Unassuming hole in the wall but the coffee can't be beat, shout-out to the baristas who work there!

Bean and Bean. B&B. Coffee. I work in the same building as this coffee shop and it holds a special significance to my coworkers and me. Over the past year, the B&B has gone through changes. My feelings about those changes (more metal, brighter lights) are mixed. I wrestle internally about where to get my morning coffee, and this place may win 30% of the time depending on which coworker I'm going with. Chronically burnt bagels and snippy comments by the cashiers make this place special for some reason. The iced green tea is basically water with yellow food coloring in it. Coffee itself is good but not astronomical. Still, I kinda love this place and keep ordering this stuff. Pour overs are indeed excellent if you're in the mood for something special and expensive. You used to be able to save 10% by using the cups app. This time has come and gone. I am straight terrified of the revolving door in this establishment. Don't drink the coffee after 4PM. You'll start shaking and having nightmares. It's the most consistent thing about the place. 3/5 solid.

Decided to stop in here the other day. The prices are ok, food is ok, and coffee is ok. Nothing really special about the place but decent if you're looking to get away from typical Starbucks stuff but better than DD

I continue to love Bean & Bean, so I'm updating this to 5 stars! I stay in the 71 Broadway building when I'm in town for work, and it's so great to have a coffee shop in the building. I've tried a variety of their coffee beverages at this point, and all are solid to great. I had the honey latte for the first time recently and it was a pleasant change. The little cups of cold oatmeal (with milk) and berries they have is amazing. And the employees are wonderful. If you haven't BEAN here, stop on by! ;)

Sat down with: cold brew with almond milk. Came at 4pm on a Monday and there was a lot of space available. Good space to do work or chat with friends, with free WiFi & restroom. The staff was friendly and the music was enjoyable. Lighting was a bit dark if you are looking to do work.

Great coffee hop to pop into for a coffee. The ricotta toast was to die for. It went well with their honey latte. Quick service and good prices for NYC

I need you to come back. I'm lost without my morning Americano and bagel with cream cheese.

Their brew is on the strong side. I find their selection of various organic skim/soy/half and half amusing but this is Manhattan after all so that's expected. A small coffee is $2.50. Pastries are around $3-4. Plenty of cute tables and seating inside. A bit dim but I like the rustic feel for when Starbucks gets to feel too corporate. The location is easily overlooked but seems like the place always has a decent crowd. Not too loud either:) I highly recommend coffee with a generous serving of the soy milk:) Yum.

This cafe boasts its organic origins, and it makes a big point to mention its organic nature throughout the store. Some great things I noticed: 1) It was well heated! 2) The door is a revolving door, meaning that the cafe does not get chilly with each new customer. 3) Quick service. 4) Variation of seating choices (e.g., wooden chairs plus more comfy chairs). I got a large tea for $2.35. I kind of wish they had had more decaffeinated choices. I read here for an hour. The music here was all over the place: r&b, pop, folky... Maybe I just noticed because I was reading, but it was almost as if two people were fighting over the radio. It was a little odd.

Love love love this spot. I can't drink strong caffeine but love the taste of coffee, which means I get yucky, watery decaf. This place has the most amazing Honey Latte and they make it in decaf. It tastes kind of peanut-y and I don't get the jitters after. Also really like their avocado toast, plus the staff has always been really pleasant. There's a Starbucks nearby on Broad with such a ratchet staff, I prefer this coffee-house's laid back vibe.

B&B has amazing food and coffee, and very friendly and talented staff! Definitely the best cafe in the area!
