A Northbrook coffee bar on Cherry Lane with a warm interior and a focused menu of espresso drinks and pastries.
“Bean Bar is the kind of small, well-run shop you wish every suburb had. Espresso is dialed, the room is bright, and the staff treats every drink like it matters. A welcome alternative to the chains that dominate the Edens corridor.”
Finally, a real coffee shop near me. The cortado is excellent.

I love Bean Bar!! It is exactly what Northbrook needed and offers a warm, welcoming, friendly neighborhood atmosphere, with excellent service, delicious coffee, and a wide variety of yummy food. I go there on a regular basis and I’m greeted by name by all of the baristas and staff. They are friendly, have zero attitude, and are always happy to answer questions about the menu. My favorite beverage is the cold brew with vanilla cold foam. I’m also a big fan of their pastries, lox scramble, salads, as well as their yogurt parfait and avocado toast.
We stumbled across this place by chance, and it’s definitely one we’ll be coming back to. Bean Bar isn’t just about coffee, it’s a solid spot to meet up with friends, kick back, grab some quality coffee and snacks, or even sit down for a decent meal if that’s what you’re after. There’s plenty of seating, with some cool glass-enclosed spaces that have a more private, laid-back vibe, perfect for chatting or getting some work done. The espresso’s strong and the baklava’s on point. Service is solid, and the prices are fair. Looking forward to the next round.

Bean Bar is the absolute best! Spend several days per week here, meeting clients, working in between appts, meeting up with friends. The owners/management are wonderful and pillars of the community…they also own Eataco and the next door lounge in downtown Notthbrook! Both equally different, bringing all the vibes! Love the style of Bean Bar, the local art they feature throughout the space, and the layout with varying seating options and even private conference room spaces for privacy: just a beautiful, cafe lounge that I cannot get enough of! Perfection!!!
Great cozier alternative to Starbucks at an easy-in easy-out location. Nice comfortable decor with a variety of seating options, to even include closed door private spaces. The staff is especially friendly and courteous and provides constant table service that leaves Starbucks in the dust. My only two complaints is there is no Sweet and Low option among the many other choices of sweeteners, and that is very irksome to us life-long lovers of the pink packet. Also the iced tea is only available in ridiculously small sampler-size cups that you constantly have to ask to get refilled. They sorely need a large 30 Oz. cup for cold drinks like are found at Dunkin and the Trenta size at Starbucks. The iced tea is already priced as if it is that size anyway.
