As we were leaving, I stopped to tell the staff, I dont know how yall did it, but *everything* we ordered was incredible. The coffee drinks, the breakfast toast (avocado for me, caprese for her) -- everything was so dang good -- made to order and must have had some sort of extra magic to make it unreal. The atmosphere here is something much needed in our city too -- comfy yet modern, and completely unlike those other coffee chains that are carbon copies of each other.Please check out Coral Bean. I cant imagine your being anything other than impressed and satisfied.
Awesome place all the way around. This place deserves 7 out of 5 stars! And I’ve never said that about any place. Ever. Service, food, price, and speed of service all exceeded my expectations every single time. It’s no wonder this place has a near perfect 4.9 out of 5 star average on the reviews. It was earned. Thanks guys. Keep it up.
Nice staff, fantastic breakfast tacos and the best Caffe Mocha my husband and I have ever had!
Hands down the BEST place for coffee and tea in Corpus. Great selection of coffee drinks and specialty teas. Very chill and comfy vibe with amazing customer service. Good place to study or meet with friends.
Hands down the BEST coffee in Corpus Christi!!First day here and it won’t be my last!I ordered a egg, chorizo, and Gouda taco. Let’s just say they did not disappoint. This was probably the best chorizo I had in awhile. The spice and seasoning of the chorizo was on point, not too salty and I like how they did not scramble it into the egg. So the taco had a nice balance to it.I completely forgot what drink he made for me, but it was the best coffee I had ever tasted. It was smooth, creamy, and had just the right amount of sweetness without blocking the natural flavor of their coffee.Forget Starbucks and Bien Merite, Coral Bean Cafe is the place to go for amazing coffee, great tacos, and delicious pastries and toast!!The best part about it, are the prices!The owners/baristas are super friendly, which is always a plus!I’m excited to explore more of their menu!
Awesome food and drinks with great customer service. Enjoyed the music and atmosphere with good vibes and good people. I truly recommend this Cafe.
Great coffee and great service. this place has a true knowledge of coffee and food. they study their craft and you can taste it.
Great coffee! Great food! My new favorite place. You have to try their Chorizo,Egg and Smoked Gouda taco. DELICIOUS!!!
Their product is absolutely amazing. True to their word on the radio ads about quality -- went there and had the matcha latte and it was delicious. My biggest complaint is the environment and the service. Im 100% for supporting local, but you feel totally unwelcome there. They dont greet you as you walk in, they arent friendly at the register (they give a what do you want kind of attitude), they dont say thank you after ordering or getting your drink. I say thank you in a peppy manner to coax them, but only get silence. I see they spend more time criticizing other businesses tacos that evaluating their business. Its just a very unfriendly/awkward environment to be in. Again, their product is great so if you dont care about customer service, then this place is great. They have such a great product on hand that their environment absolutely kills any want of wanting to return - even my partner didnt want to come back. I came 2 other times to see if my first visit was a fluke. Nope! A very unwelcoming environment the other times. Hopefully they can adjust this because I want to see them grow, but its so hard to go there when it feels like your business isnt wanted.
So I was just in your cafe earlier to get me some chorizo & egg tacos because chorizo & egg tacos are LIFE🙌🏼 ☺️ but the main reason I came in is because I just had to try your famous Blueberry muffins and let me tell you!!!! The texture & flavor! BEST BLUEBERRY MUFFINS I HAVE EVER HAD!!!!😍🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
I am not from Corpus but I am always looking for good coffee spots. I ordered a hot chai latte and it was magnificent. Im not sure when I will back I town but I will definitely be back to this spot.
Everything I had at this place was amazing, the teas, the multiple dishes & I CAN’T say enough about the Muffins, Do Not miss out on a great experience. And special thanks again for sampling those delicious cherries, can’t wait to see what you come up with next
Came in with the whole family and had a great time! Food and service was great would recommend!
It’s a really nice love the atmosphere everybody is upper sweetIt’s just weird how half of their menu is crossed outI I definitely would have come back if they had more variety
Was so excited to go here after hearing the ads, but the person working the counter between 4-5pm really made for a poor introduction. The coffee was great, but the person taking the orders was very patronizing for no reason at all. Wasn’t worth the drive over.
Hands down the best coffee shop Ive gone to!! Went just to try it out and have been going back ever since. I try getting something different each time I go and each time my drink and food tastes amazing!! Customer service is quick and friendly!
The place Its self was so beautiful just it took like 30 to 40 minutes just to make me a coffe and from what i could see there was 3 to 2 people there one person not doing anything and the other doing everything buy i the coffe was pretty good in the end
I tried this place out for the first time today, and I will be going back! The vanilla latte was smooth, and refreshing. Can’t wait to go back to be able to relax and enjoy the atmosphere. Support local!
This was my 3rd visit, and I’ve enjoyed everything I’ve tried here. The first visit it was the nitro cold brew, the 2nd it was the latte with house made vanilla, and today I had the latte with house made caramel. I usually avoid caramel lattes at coffee shops due to how sweet they are, but I’m glad I tried it here as it was buttery and delicious, and I could actually taste the caramel! I also had the chorizo, egg, & Gouda cheese taco, and it was amazing. Service was excellent, and both items came quickly.
We walked in for a quick coffee my husband had to get back to work, we ordered a coffee and tea and oh my goodness it’s the best tasting coffee we have ever had. The chorizo taco and raspberry flip were out of this world. These guys are the real deal! Stop what your doing Go check them out!!!
The food was very good as well as the drinks! I went through the drive through and they were extremely nice. I would definitely recommend!!
They have the most consistent coffe and customer service in the Corpus Christi area. Their iced lattes are amazing!
Kinda bummed that our experience was sub par. Had high hopes based on the reviews. Service was great. However, don’t go if you’re in a hurry. Wanted a quick coffee and breakfast and it took about 15 minutes for a basic espresso and just about an hour for a couple of breakfast tacos. This was at 9am and they weren’t busy.
Vibe is on point. The best breakfast tacos. Love the chai, everything is on point. Wish I could give this place 10 stars ⭐️
This cool coffee shop saved my life this week. With no electricity at my house, I was able to work here all day and enjoy their delicious food and coffee as well as their trendy atmosphere. I’ll definitely be back!
They have some amazing coffee here. The latte was one of the best I’ve had, perfect temp and sweetness.
Today we got the white mocha for our first visit, we will definitely be coming back. The staff was friendly and super inviting, they also make some bomb breakfast tacos and pesto! Best coffee in Corpus Christi! Great cinnamon toast surprise as well! Thanks homies.
Absolutely, love this place! A perfectly, rich and creamy, well-balanced coffee 😊☕ Come by and enjoy a relaxing atmosphere, great workers, and even better, coffee made with love ♥️
Perfect! I am addicted to London Fog Lattes. I’ve ordered them everywhere. This place is the only place that made it perfectly the first time. Thank you so much. Yummiest!!!!
Love the vibe of this place! So aesthetically pleasing! the coffee was delish!!! Love the strawless lids!! Check them out!
Awesome service, amazing food! The staff was also very, very nice. We will be back over and over again. Good job, Guys!
Went to treat myself to a coffee not from Starbucks. The only disappointment here was that they don’t open earlier so I can’t pick their coffee up on the way to work in the morning. Seriously everything here is so much better that Starbucks.
Awesome vibes! Chorizo egg and smoked gouda taco is a solid get.
Extremely friendly owners who know what they’re doing when it comes to crafting an AMAZING cup of coffee! Everything is made in the store, they even make their own vanilla and use REAL, yes real Belgian chocolate in their drinks. You can’t find this kind of attention to detail at your local Starbucks. If you’re in the area give this place a try. Their Iced Lavender Matcha Latte, Dirty Chia Latte and White Mocha Latte are bomb! They have a bunch of drinks and food items to choose from so there’s something for everyone. Go check them out you won’t be disappointed. 😁
Excellent place. Owner is a great guy. Need to go to Coral Bean and support this locally owned coffee shop. And Im positive that they will have whatever coffee drink you enjoy.
First, the product and prices are right on. If they run out of coffee, they sell you an Americana at the same price, unlike others who just try selling you a much more expensive drink. Second, the 2 guys I see working most have great costumer service skills, which is getting hard to find these days. And to top it off, they are staying open late as a warming place during the unusual frigid temps., and giving out free hot chocolate. Things like this is why we should all support Ma n Pa bussiness, and avoid greedy corporate chains of any type.
Nice quiet little place, but needs a little renovating to make it more cozy. The hot chocolate wasnt bad, but not my favorite, and the coffee was just ok.
O.M.G. We just stopped by for an afternoon treat and I tried a caramel iced almond milk latte. SO GOOD! Their caramel is house made and the difference is incredible. If you are in Corpus and want coffee made by craftsmen, it’s a must stop. And they do awesome house made teas too. They have such a sweet customer service mentality and it’s clear they love what they do!
Coral bean has an awesome atmosphere where you can study/relax while sipping on your favorite cafe drinks. I ordered the iced matcha green tea latte and it was delicious. I would definitely return and recommend this cafe to anyone looking for a respite in their day or a quiet place to study.
The vibes are immaculate and the coffee is even better.
This place is full of vibes and the coffee was great, I’ll definitely be back. Great place for events.
Loved tea I had... something with hibiscus and stuff anyway it was delicious and not too sweet. Great place to meet.
Latte and Mocha are AMAZING. Small plates and snacks are delicious as well but the coffee is star of the show.Also well decorated with very relaxing music and vibes.This has definitely become my go-to place for coffee!
Best espresso in Corpus Christi, hands down.
Vanilla Latte and cinnamon toast was delicious and made a perfect combo on a cold day. Chill-laid back vibes and music. Perfect for studying or just hanging out!
Came upon this place by random adventuring! Atmosphere was chill and beautiful. The barista was shaking a mysterious beverage like a cocktail and found out it was for their Craft-tea specials. Decided to order the Lavender Matcha and the Night Breeze Craft-tea, OMG SO GOOOD! Wonderfully balanced, sweet, and bursting with flavor. So refreshing! The barista was super friendly and the green velvet chairs super comfortable and luxurious. Highly recommend this place!
Best coffee and small eats in town!I ordered a cold brew and a bacon and egg taco..The cold brew was perfect with a balanced acidity and forward toasted cocoa notes.You can definitely tell they know how to brew coffee..The taco was out of this world! They get the bacon from a local specialty meat market and slice it themselves.. the bacon was perfectly crispy and the eggs light and fluffy.. also the tortillas are made from scratch!This is a hidden gem.. if you havent been here.. give it a try you wont regret it AND you are supporting the local community.. its a win win..
They have great coffee and a couple of friendly guys that can make you smile. They have been great to the community during this rough time.
Great customer service. Food and coffee taste great and love the look of the place.
Awesome vibes, amazing FRESH food. Seriously if you were considering coming in do it! The guys at the counter were so sweet. Will be coming back!
You can tell that they care about what they do. So much effort goes into using quality ingredients and the crafting of each drink. No matter what you have here, you can always come back and have the same great experience, the perfect drink every time!
Cool coffee shop on the deep south side. Baristas were super helpful and made a great cup of joe. Purchased a 48 hour chocolate chip cookie which was worth every second, so delicious. Will definitely be coming back for more! Go see these guys!
Had my first “specialty” coffee today made to perfection by the great Curt!!! I’m officially addicted!! Thanks for the entertainment Curt, See you soon!! Karla with a K 😄.
Wow! I haven’t had coffee for approximately 7 years and what a way to be reintroduced into caffeinated beverages. My wife asked to be surprised and they prepared her a pumpkin spice Latte for her. This was the most delightful seasonal coffee I have ever had. We just relocated back to Corpus Christi from Austin and my wife was missing the true barista coffee experience. My wife decided to try Coral Bean Cafe and was not disappointed. Everyone do yourself a favor and skip the big box coffee store and pick yourself up a Coral Bean Coffee seasonal coffee today! Customers for ever more! Thank you Coral Bean Coffee!
Amazing coffee and tea 😋
Great local cafe! Amazing baristas, delicious variety of food, and beverages! I love all of the toast options! And the tacos are just as delicious, if you love chorizo and egg, you must try the coral bean cafe chorizo and egg with gouda taco!! I love the tea and coffee options, my favorites are the jolly rancher tea, and the lattes!! Wonderful atmosphere, youll leave smiling! I highly recommend!
Just went in for coffee for myself and my friend, and when I say this is the best mocha Ive had in years, Im not kidding. The staff was really friendly, and the atmosphere was very inviting and cool. Definitely a new favorite.
Almost a 40 minute wait for two drinks and three tacos. Unapologetic and rude. I would expect this to be one of many ambitious hip restaurants that go out of business soon enough.
If you haven’t visited Coral Bean Cafe, what are you waiting for? Popped in for the first time to try their coffee but was tempted by what I saw on their “special” tea menu so decided to try one of their tea drinks and what can I say....no regrets, my friends! So tasty, refreshing and all kinds of goodness! Also walked out with an order of their avocado toast and holy smokes - SO GOOD. See you soon Coral Bean!
Great dirty Chai latte!
BY FAR best coffee in town. Their food is also to die for. It’s simple but made with love and it taste amazing!
Had the breve latte for the first time from here and WOW. I now stop by at least 4 times a week just to get great coffee from the friendly staff.Best of all you don’t have to wait for 30min in line just for a mediocre coffee. If you stop by here the only thing your waiting for is fresh great feasting coffee!!!
So far it is THE best place in Corpus for coffee. Great coffee! Great atmosphere! And they have a nice list of munchies if you are hungry. :)
Theyve improved. After the transition from Green Light to Coral Bean they went through a rough patch where their espresso was weak and the coffee was even worse. The management seemed oblivious. Now theyre doing better.
Delicious Coffee and food. The staff are excellent and friendly.
I’ve never been a big coffee drinker, that changed today. My eyes have been opened, my taste buds have tasted glory! Just the right amount of sweet on both, coffee and teas.Definitely recommended.Shaking and mixing does make the best drinks.
If you want great tasting coffee & 5 star customer service, you need to visit Coral Bean Cafe! Kurt greeted me with a big smile & had me laughing within seconds. During this gloomy time, it’s refreshing to meet people like him.Coral Bean Cafe is my new coffee spot!
Cappuccino was very smooth. Nice atmosphere. Support this local small business!
Awesome cold brew! Loved the teas with the freshly picked basil. You have to try the different toasts they have, all so good! Great service as well!
This is my favorite Cafe/coffee shop in the coastal bend. The ambiance is on point, perfect for casual conversations with friends, studying, or working. Its quiet, so you arent having to shout over people, and the food and drink selection is fantastic. Also, try the matcha lemonade. Its not on the menu but its delectably refreshing.
Everything is high in quality; food and drinks are a perfect balance between cozy cafe and gourmet eatery. One of a kind drink specialties, good vibes and kind people! With experience of working as a barista in the past and traveling around the world, Ill say this cafe serves some of the most excellent drinks Ive ever had! Cheers!
Place is great, great vibes, great service, great food, great drinks. 👍👍
Employees are very friendly and they were quick with my order. I opted for the blackberry tea. Super refreshing and mildly sweet, perfect for summer!
Probably the best coffee spot I’ve been to ever. I’m sitting at a different cafe right now wishing it was the coral bean cafe. Go there!
Friendly with good eats and drinks. Cinnamon toast for breakfast was delicious and unique while Matcha Palmer won me over for Matcha. Staff is informative, helpful, and working hard to make a local business thrive. If you want something a bit more custom than Starbucks for coffee, food, beverages, and ambience in Corpus Christ, check out Coral Bean Cafe.
Delicious coffee! The coffee is not bitter. It is smooth, bold, and so flavorful! A perfect pick me up for any day of the week.
Great food and friendly staff! Best coffee in corpus by far, shots of espresso were not burnt and had a great boldness in pairing with the cold brew! Can’t wait to come back and try more of the specialty matcha drinks :)
I love when coffee shops are so cute AND serve yummy rich coffee! Sometimes it’s hard to find both, but I did here! Also friendly staff makes it even better, go check it out!
Just left with the best iced americano I’ve ever had. All I can say is it’s lived up to the hype so far! 👍🏼
As a southeastern Europen I own the right to judge espresso quality and I say that these guys make good good espresso.
Nice, Chill cafe with friendly staff and good drinks. I had the Mexican Chocolate Cold Brew my first time there and was very happy with it. I plan on returning to try their food other coffees/teas.
Really good “Botanical Barry Bliss” and caprese toast! A great environment to do school work or work👍🏻
Really great service and premium coffee. It’s better coffee than all the other big local places (stingers and coffee waves) and their pastries are excellent. Support local and give these guys a shot. Especially now with COVID!
Talk about personable! My family and I loved the coffee/Tea and the great atmosphere. Well definitely be back. P.s try the cinnamon toast.
Amazing! Delicious foods, great drinks, super friendly people. Highly recommend
The best coffee shop in Corpus. The atmosphere is relaxing and perfect for studying or getting some work done. The staff is always extremely friendly, and the drinks are amazing!
Extremely comforting space with a good iced lavender matcha latte! Will be coming here more often to study
Very nice worker! Super friendly and told my friend and I good coffee options! Definitely will be back soon:) Coffee was great too!
Worst service ever. They were busy yes, but I waited more than 30 minutes before complaining and I had to leave before getting my drink. Just unacceptable period.
Extremely friendly staff and nice chill vibes. Best mocha EVER!!
