Worst customer service. I pulled up to the drive thru and was told “one second”, I waited for 10 minutes before someone took my order and the place was empty. I ordered 2 lattes, which took 5 minutes to order because the person did not know what they were doing. They then asked out loud “do you know how to make one?” Which I thought they were asking me, turns out no one in the store knew what they were doing. I pull up to the window and see the younger guy with glasses having trouble using the espresso machine. The older guy then tried to help and they couldn’t figure it out, so they decide to hand me 2 ice coffees instead (which tasted worse than anything I’ve ever had and was also not what I ordered). Before paying, I asked if the drinks had espresso because I knew they didn’t, and the guy lied and said yes. Anyone that knows what a latte looks like would know that these were not lattes. A latte is mainly milk with either 1/2 espresso shots. I honestly didn’t have the energy to deal with them after the horrible experience so I just paid and left hoping the iced coffees would at least be tasty. Waste of my time and money. I wouldn’t bother giving these people any business.

Got 4 ice creams and a shake. Toppings that were requested not added on. Hurried us away like the faster you are out here the better. No one behind us, the place was not busy. Too bad because the ice cream is good but service is not.

Best coffee shake around. It always tasted better at 4 a.m. on the way home from along night at the bar. Not gonna lie its very disappointing that they are no longer open 24 hours. Get there before midnight I believe

Nah nah cuz they advertising rlly is cap. the OUTSIDE of their building says “24 hour drive thru” .. not specifying it’s only on friday & saturday &&&& when their hours are listed to close at 11pm (and is stated when you call them) they told us they’re closed at 10:00 ???? we pulled up cuz the sign in their window said Open.. then when my boyfriend went inside to order they locked the door and turned the sign off w no reasoning. when my bf showed the worker the hours online he responded “we’re just closed.” i don’t usually write bad reviews but this has happened more than once.. had to let the ppl know.

Been here a few times not usually this bad and I made pretty big orders. The last time I was there the service was AWFUL. We were being rushed and they ran out of 1 of our orders and made us go around the drive thru and order something else while they handed us 2 orders which was a melted banana boat and melted off the cup chocolate ice cream. Very disappointed. Very unprofessional. Rude girls.

Employee’s don’t know what they are doing. They charge whatever they want and give you whatever they want as well without any receipt. Everytime I go they give me the wrong Order. One of the employee looks like she is a crack head and is working high or something always doing everything wrong. Don’t recommend at all coming here. Go somewhere else.

My friends and I have been going to Coffee Bean Express for a little while now and have never had a problem with it. We really enjoy their milkshakes and ice cream. BUT, tonight we went a woman was so ignorant and had the biggest attitude. We ordered very quickly, but when they didn’t have the ice cream one of us wanted she got angry about it. We didn’t make a big deal, we just picked something else out quick to keep it simple. I, myself, work at a drive thru and can understand that sometimes it’s frustrating when people will take their time ordering and then order the whole menu. We ordered three things and the lady was giving us an attitude the entire time. We pull up the to window and all of the ladies in there were staring at us, throwing out dirty looks like candy on Halloween. It’s 24 hour service, if you don’t want to work overnight, then don’t. Don’t be rude to your customers because of the job that you don’t enjoy.

What is there to like about it? I always try to give them another shot, but each time I spend 5 minutes to order and yet another 10 to receive my order I realize yet again how horrible the service here is. Their employees lack common sense and take years doing the same thing theyve been doing for at least months.My previous to last experience was a headache to say the least. I spent 15 minutes waiting for a chai I never recived. Non the less, the visit made me late for work and I ended up having to give my money to a larger corporation.Today I decided to revisit in hopes to run into the owner, (The chais there are deliciously worth all these attempts) and to my surprise... She was serving me! I thought lucky me, Ill get to speak to the owner. She must hate missing out on money! To my surprise she started attacking at me! With her employee chiming in. And then was shocked when I demanded a refund and asked her to keep the chai.In other words, if youre willing to be treated like crap in exchange for a yummy chai be their guest. If not save yourself the 5$, the time & the annoyance.

I was unaware that a place can charge you an extra 50 cent each for some shredded lettuce, mayo and a slice of tomato on my pastrami and cheese sandwich advertised as 5.95 and came to 8.50....omg
