My friend had been insisting we go to Cinnabon but I suggested this place. She beat me there, was halfway through a cinnamon oat scone, rice krispy treat and a coffee, and was so pleased with everything that she proclaimed all meetings will henceforth be at local coffee shops. That's a big deal for her to abandon Cinnabon!
So - Urban Beans is a cute little coffee shop. Ample seating inside, cute art on the walls that's for sale, and a really nice little patio outside.
I had a soy white mocha and a java chip scone, and it was only $7.50 That would run $10 at the big green mermaid! Both were really really good.
They aren't doing made-to-order food anymore, which is what I think most bad reviews are about. The pastries are all freshly baked though.
Only thing that could be better is put some music on or something. It was deathly quiet and I felt like everyone else was listening to our conversation. We moved outside because of that.
