Bean Bar

I got a hot honey coffee here when I came by and it was AMAZING. I am sad I don't live nearby but if I ever pass by the area I will be sure to come back. The pastries were also very yummy!

Editing my original 5 star review: Message to the owner; Food prices are NOT clearly marked. A 16oz drip coffee and a small pecan tart totalled over $13.00 and somehow took over 7 minutes (to pump my coffee out of a thermos and into a cup). There were 5 people working behind the counter and no customers in front of me. The condescending tone I received after asking about the bean/roast was the icing on the cake. Counter Culture beans are on par with Starbucks...horribly over roasted and bitter. I'd suggest looking for a local or regional roaster. Never again.

Edit: Thank you for responding to my review. I've updated my review to reflect your response. I've visited Bean Bar about 6 times in the last 2 months. It's hard, really hard, to find a good latte anywhere in SC. So the first time I visited I was happy with the quality of my latte. Most of their syrups are made in house, I tried the caramel and it's very good. They use an absolutely phenomenal roaster and get an incredible bean that's full and rich. However it's the atmosphere, staff, something that is just very unfriendly, extremely unwelcome feeling. Their whole process is ridicule from the moment you walk in. You are greeted by an employee when you walk in. You tell that person your order. They will question you multiple times as they write it down. It's so much back and forth. While someone else ,#2, stands there looking at you. They 1st person yells "order" and hands the card the #2 person who was standing there looking at you the whole time you are telling #1 your drink. #2 then pulls your shots and stops. A third person now get involved and starts making, building the cup. It's been at least 7 min by now. EVERYTIME it's like this. By 12 minutes you have 1 iced drink. There's one much older lady there that is very sweet and kind, I don't know how she stands to be there with the rest. It's so unfriendly. This week we were greeted by a new sign on the door. And it just topped it all off. We will never be back. The sign says they will now be closed on Wednesday. Ok fine. Your closed 2 days a week now. But you had to put up a stupid sign up. "Every Wednesday we will be closed to make sure our full time staff doesn't get over worked" What a joke! I never laughed so hard in my life. I was a barist for years, worked 60+ weeks. Easiest, chill job I've ever had. I don't know if the owners are looking for a pat on the back or what but if your barista can't work 40 hours a week with two days off and be okay then something's really wrong. And I don't want to support that. I can't even finish writing this cause I'm laughing so hard at that stupid sign. I can't even with these people.

We absolutely LOVE bean bar! Their staff is always friendly and helpful. They have the best coffee EVER. We are SO SPOILED to have this coffee shop in our town.

This place has the BEST coffee ! It’s sort of ruined coffee at other places for me . Staff is so helpful and nice always ! It’s consistent always ! Some places it’s good one day then not so much . Not here it’s exactly the same every time you get it . We are very lucky to have a place like this in Florence .

First time at this cute coffee shop and I’m a fan! Owners were not just watching but actually working and taking care of the customer’s!! I love that they make their own strips to flavor the coffees and the ladies helping with orders were so pleasant and personable. They all work well together and my only thing was the T-shirts were pricey and their merchandise we did not try any food just drinks.

Great place to do paperwork. So many options for seatings w outlets and wifi. Everyone working here is friendly. I got the matcha latte with lavender honey and it was *chief kiss*. I tried the macarons and they were very delicious.

Visiting the area and needed my matcha fix. This place had some of the best vegan iced matcha I've ever tasted. And even better, I was able to get my little ones some vegan hot chocolate. 10/10. I will definitely be back before I leave. There was a bit of a wait because it was so packed but I see why. It's delicious.
