Welcome to Spill The Bean

“ I feel like this place is a missed opportunity. It's not "bad" by any stretch. In fact it's a great place if you wanna grab a cup of coffee and sit outside with your laptop (during cooler months). But the interior was uncomfortably warm, there must have been 5 or 6 workers all behind the counter but zero effort to be attentive or offer speedy service. There was also a run down feel with plastic plant pots peeling away, well beyond the state of a "lived in, homey" feel and more what you'd find in an abandoned building. The place just needs a little (well, a lot of) love! I liked their menu though and I'd say their food is where they really shine. Edited to add: At the insistence of my wife, we returned not long after my first review, and it was a completely different experience from our initial visit. It even looks like the chipped and worn plastic pots I mentioned were replaced. The staff were super quick and responsive, and after spending more time there, I can say it really is a cozy spot. And to reiterate, the food is where they really shine. Whoda thunk a simple breakfast bagel could be that good! I'm happily undoing my initial review and updating this to 5 stars. I'll l be back. (And FWIW, I think Alexander Hamilton’s reputation as being "anti farmer" is a bit undeserved. He argued more for balance than against agriculture outright! Just my two cents. Thanks for the witty reply nonetheless.) ”

“ There are already quite a lot of people here in the early morning. The atmosphere of the coffee house takes me to the streets of Amsterdam. There is a large shelf with books for adults and a smaller one for children that you can take to read. They do freshly roasted coffee. What makes it especially fragrant. After americano, I did not have a sour aftertaste, which indicates good quality. There is quite a variety of vegetarian desserts. In addition to a rather large space inside, the cafe has an open green area. Near the entrance, I noticed a bird feeder and a cat feeder. Which, of course, are separate)) if you understand, cats don’t eat birds there)). The cafe does not have a toilet, this is usually when the cafe is located in such a block of cafes and restaurants in Dubai. You can find the restroom a couple of steps away. The atmosphere makes it stay longer here, so all the people I saw in the cafe in the morning were with laptops at work or reading a book. I also liked the rack - a store with coffee mugs and cute little things. ”

“ Beautiful. That’s the first word that comes to mind when describing this coffee shop. Not only is it super authentic, amazing staff and beautiful space but also, super tasty and neat. Being at the place reminded me of so many things from my home country Lebanon. The decor, the interior, the taste of food etc. I went for brunch. The place is underrated, if you love animals and taking pictures, this would be a nice place for you. ”
