I really don't know what the problem is with the pay metered parking at this place except for takeout purposes. The lot charges $.75 per hour which to me is very reasonable compared to most of the city lots I've parked in that charge a lot more. Labella Bean is next to an Armstrong's express which I would imagine comes of the parent restaurant.
So I decided to go in and try it out. This place is very charming to walk into. The staff were exceeding friendly and helpful. Since it was late in the day I was unable to try their lunch menu but they have a great variety of sweet treats to go with your coffee or expresso. Most of their desserts come from other sources but they do make their own chocolate chip cookies.
I learned that the brew of the day was "chocolate cherry kiss." They let me sample it and yes it was love at first taste! I ordered a small cup of that and believe me it did not disappoint! You can taste the chocolate in it! I was in love with the blend that I wanted to purchase it. They told me that since it was limited for Valentine's Day they ground the last of it for tomorrow and asked me to return so I could try their food and their daily specials. They had no more to sell. This place does have a rewards punch card based on the number of beverages you buy so they gave me one to start with.
With your check in you can get $5.00 off your purchase so I saved mine for the return visit. The place is set up both homestyle with couches , coffee tables, etc. and business like with tables and chairs. There is a long counter table up front where you can sit and work on your laptop and yes they even have charging rods for your Apple or Android device! They have their own free WiFi which gives a strong connection. They have various merchandise for sale. In addition to coffee, expressos, etc, they sell tea, hot chocolate,smoothies, and iced drinks. All beverage items are on a chalkboard and their daily specials are listed on another chalkboard. When I asked about the price they told me the daily specials average around $9.00. You can also order pickup directly from the Yelp app.
One of the things that intrigued me was that they make and bottle their own salad dressing. Most of them are vinaigrettes of some sort. They bottle sells for $5.00 but you can get a travel size bottle for $1.00. Since I have not tried any of their salads I can't speak for them outside of the fact that it is a bit pricey for salad dressing.
Labella Bean is located in Bridgeville not even a mile down the road from the I-79 interchange that can take you back to the city exit within a reasonable amount of time. Will definitely return to try out not only their other blends but try one of their lunches.
