Urban Beans has a great atmosphere. The music isn't too loud, there's always a place to sit and generally people are quietly doing their own thing. They have a strong Wifi signal making it a great place to get work done. It also has a great patio. However, with street traffic sometimes the patio can get a little loud.
I've tried several menu items and keep going back to the Mediterranean Quinoa Salad. Greens, tomatoes, cucumber and feta. The homemade vinaigrette is light and refreshing with a subtle tartness that makes the salad a refreshing meal.
Urban Beans' espresso is rich and smooth. I've never had a burnt shot. The iced coffee is light and smooth. If you're like me and like your coffee a little sweet ask the barista to sweeten it as they make it. The amount of simple syrup they add is perfect.
I really enjoy Urban Beans. After passing it by for years, I finally went in and quickly became a regular.
