Jonathan describes the atmosphere as bohemian. His coffee was bold and Satisfying.If you are looking for a great cup of Joe and a lovely croissant, stop in and enjoy! The Bomblet lives up to its name... super friendly staff

Walk a short way out of the central tourist area and you will come to this lovely coffee shop, a locals place. Excellent coffee, good breakfast eats, mostly vegetarian, but dont let that stop you. Outdoor seating in front, but there is a large patio in the back. Ditch Starbs for once and support a local business.

I liked this coffeeshop. The food looked really yummy, but I only had coffee. Its a cool spot close to Forsyth Park, with seating inside and outside. The only con was the bathroom. It smelled like an outhouse.

I normally love the sentient bean. I travel to Savannah for work and always eat there. However, today when ordering delivery, not only was the delivery person not very friendly, my egg and cheese croissant was made with half a croissant and half a slice of toast. I also ordered to giant smoothies and still received a small. For what I paid I’m extremely disappointed.

Went for Sunday brunch, advertised as 9am-12pm. Arrived at 9:45 and the brunch menu was “not ready yet,” so we had to sit and wait 15 minutes. The farmers market bowl was great — a nice mix of vegetables and tofu scramble with bread on the side. But the special pancakes were definitely a letdown…very plain and dry, with no toppings (just syrup and vegan butter). Wanted chai but it was out of stock despite being prominently displayed on the specials board. There was constantly a line for the bathroom because it’s a single stall and non-customers come in from the park to use it, so we had to wait quite a while for the bathroom. I’ve seen other coffee shops solve this by putting a code lock on the bathroom and changing the code daily, so maybe that could help.

This place is a true gem! The staff is great - especially Katie and Ty are super friendly and fun. What a nice people - you feel the good vibes. The garden is beautiful and relaxing. It feels like you are in Europe. The food is diverse and very tasty. There is a bulletin board where you can hang up adds.Lawrence is in charge of renting the place during after hours and he is a professional event planner, accommodating and friendly. Yes - you can actually rent this place for private events or classes for a very reasonable price during after hours and it comes with staff to sell drinks during your event. They even have a projector, if you want to use a slideshow or use video. I highly recommend this place to hang out during business hours or host private events during after hours! Thank you Sentient Bean !

Courteous, efficient & tasty! We’ve been traveling the east coast for 8 days, exploring places that claim to have easy access to vegan breakfast and Sentient Bean is the first we’ve found that really gave all of that to its community. Thank you 🌹

Great coffee! We really enjoyed the iced and hot coffees. Staff recognized us on our second visit and thanked us for coming back. Didn’t give 5 stars because we didn’t really enjoy our food (yogurt, oatmeal, banana bread) but based on other reviews, sounds like I should have gotten the burrito. This coffee shop was busy both days we visited around 10am. Consider grabbing a coffee and then taking a stroll through the park across the street.

Vegetarian options. Nice patio in the back to sit outside.

My husband and I came here months ago (while on a work trip) and bought some coffee beans. My husband loved them so much when we got home I made sure I stopped by again this trip to pick up more! I wish I could order some beans to ship to Indiana, but Im happy to grab more each time I come to Georgia for work!

Good prices, but the cashier guy wasn’t very friendly. Maybe just a bad day. Pretty good coffee.

Wow.. Food was awesome and the environment rustic and clean. Staff was friendly and liked what they do. I ate a vegan burrito and would love to have it again! Looking forward to my next visit.

I was excited when I saw Sentient Bean while searching for vegan restaurants. Especially after reading the mission statement, containing phrases like, conscious eating and community activism. From the marketing, youd assume this was a vegan restaurant, with integral ethics. However, they actually serve products that contribute to the suffering of sentient beings which goes against the marketed environment of the restaurant. Regardless, I tried one of their vegan options, and it was inedible. All in all, I left with my positive first impression destroyed and replaced with disappointment and a bad taste in my mouth. 0 stars. Would not recommend.

Ordered a giant Mocha with three shots and it was made within five minutes! Terrific service.

Good healthy food. Delicious coffee. Great vibe. Catch a table outside and watch the world meander by.

Vegan breakfast burrito was great! Scrambled tofu with black beans, spinach, tomato, house made vegan sausage, and a vegan spicy mayonnaise. They were super busy, so it did not have very much sausage in it - I think I had 1 piece at the bottom. If you order it, get it with a side of the spicy mayo because there isn’t enough in the burrito. Very extensive coffee and tea menu, lots of flavors you can add! Guy at the front needed a hug though, but I’ll be back to give him one.

Friendly service. We got the BBQ wrap and These tacos r nutz! They were so good and full of flavor. I wasnt sure how to feel about the walnut crumbles but heck they were so delicious and perfectly seasoned. The slaw was fresh and citrusy. I cant wait to come back.Oh, and as a bonus all of the cutlery and drinkware, even the little sauce cups, are compostable.

Very cool atmosphere, and excellent location. Staff is friendly, and fast. If you walk in to a long line, youll be through in no time. There is a wonderful assortment of treats, and small meals. A lot of vegan options, as well as gluten free. Hands down some of the best coffee in Savannah. Always very robust, and tasty. Cards are accepted for purchases over $5. Great place to pop in for a coffee to walk around the park with, or hangout with a book or friends.

Absolutely loved this place! My family and I were visiting from out of town and stumbled upon it during a walk around Forsythe Park. So glad we did! From their cappuccino to their bowls, everything we had here was GREAT!But the best part is how they care for the neighborhood and its citizens. I know where Ill be eating breakfast the next time Im in Savannah!

This place seemed like a very cool brunch spot. The cashier was really nice. Unfortunately, they didn’t have anything I was wanting to order. The cashier said they no longer carry the items I wanted and have not updated their website. This is something that should always be done immediately following menu changes.

One of my favorites places in Savannah while Im traveling. Delicious food and nourishing teas!!

We were pleasantly surprised to have this place open on Christmas morning. I had their Chai Latte and the Broccoli Mozzarella quiche. Both were pretty good!

Great place to stop in for a coffee and a bite. The staff is always welcoming and helpful and the seating imside and out is great for people watching.

Great vegan options and it tastes good, too!

Disappointed... Bagel was amazing... Staff all over the place and gave me 🥯 with no cream cheese and wilted spinach, 1/2 tomato and chunk of onion and 1/2 slice of red...The time it took to get it all you would think it would be nice and fresh.

Great spot, nice menu options. Good patio seating in the back.

Love the new lovely, open interior! Also, they dont drown their small lattes in milk

The best vegan/vegetarian restaurant Ive ever been too. There breakfast is incredible!

This is not normally a place I’d pick for myself, but I’m so glad we went! My friend had the rose lavender pancakes and I’d have to say they were my favorite. I had the yogurt parfait, and I did have to add sugar to the yogurt, but after that it was delicious. Everyone left feeling good about their choice, and not super heavy like after you eat fast food.

Loved the healthy breakfast options. The breakfast bowl was a great way to start the morning. Coffee was good as well.

Great Vegetarian Food... perfect for a light lunch! Outside & Inside seating. Beer & wine choices.

Great taste drink and scone i will be coming back, very fun place! I love the tiny finch birds too!

Wonderful. I tried the Vegan Breakfast Burrito and am very happy I did. Very tasteful and filling. I also had a Caramel Latte with Almond Milk and enjoyed my coffee as well. I wish I could take this place back home with me because I would eat breakfast here everyday. I tried my moms Roasted Red Pepper Quiche as well which was so great I almost got one for myself but had to restrict myself. 😁

Im vegan, so you can imagine my enthusiasm for eating in places like this. I ordered the vegan super bowl which base is quinoa. It left a lot to be desired ... come on, you cant call that a super bowl. Supposedly it included tempeh, I never had the pleasure to see or taste it -and when I complained about it they pulled my leg. My partner asked for a sandwich, as you can see, it was pure bread and zero filling. Worse still, the bread was dry.

Healthy and fresh food— nothing special, but normal for a coffee shop. We didn’t try the coffee/teas though, so maybe that’s their specialty. People can move chairs around, so by the time we were ready to sit, there were many open tables but no chairs to sit in. I am SO appreciative of the eco-conscious atmosphere and recyclable/compostable utensils, so that makes up for it. And very friendly cashiers!!

Beats the pants off of Starbucks for quality and cost. The staff was exceptional!

Was super excited to try this place out and love the art. However, the service was terrible. Please hire better baristas. One particular male barista with a pony tail and tinted sunglasses was rude and unfriendly. I worked as a barista for several years, it’s not a stressful job and not that hard to be nice. If you dont like your job or can’t handle it, don’t take it out on customers who just want a coffee. I didn’t find his comment to friendly but was going to let it slide until I mentioned it to the people I was with and they were in shock that he spoke that way to a paying customer.

Vegan sausage. Almost but not quite completely unlike sausage. Not sure why this place is so popular other than the friendly staff and location. Conceptually appealing, actually just meh.

Good vegan breakfast burrito. The gluten free brownie is ok. The vegan peaches and cream muffin is unexpectedly moist, but good.

We came here as a group and were served rather quickly. The whole place had positive vibes and very little confusion. I ordered the Breakfast burrito and it quickly became a member of the clean plate club. Solid experience, and great food!

Awesome food! Highly recommend the BBQ tofu wrap or the Zesto pesto. Also they have a super cool Hay straws! Still biodegradable but it won’t melt in your mouth! Genius!

This place is a SAVANNAH. must stop for vegan, vegetarian and health conscious people. Sometimes the line is a tad long, especially in summer but it’s always worth it.

Im was a customer to by coffee and sweet bread. But after 15 minutes inside sitting in a table with all my family visiting me from other estate somebody from the staff member kik me out and my family just for carry my pistol inside my holster. I feel sad and piss off cause Im American citizen and i have carry weapons License permits in Georgia. They dont have any signs front the this shop weapons restrictions. I think isnt right. I share a couple pictures from the front store to proof my evidence. Thanks... the coffee was good but youll not permit me enjoyed.

First time going here, its a laid back atmosphere, love the vegetarian options, definitely worth the money. I will definitely go back. Plenty of tables and places to sit, also outside seating is available.

Service was good, not terribly friendly. Coffee was solid, nothing spectacular. Good place for some hot coffee is you are close by.

Very cute and right across from Forsyth Park! Not too many options for non vegans, but the egg and cheese breakfast sandwiches are really really good! I got it on a tomato and basil bagel...💥💥💥

Loved It Here.! We literally Ditched our Starbucks and Came here. Absolutely most definitely not Disappointed with our Grand Decision making. You have Won Our Business. 🏆. Great Staff! Breakfast Burrito was Filling. The Americanos had Us Skipping home.! Thanks Guys!

Wow. Vegan burrito...staff... atmosphere...ALL THE COFFEE...just... Wow.

Have been visiting the “ Bean” when in town for more than a decade, love this place.However this visit, 1/25/21 was slightly disappointing. Had to ask to have tables cleaned as they all had crumbs. A little understandable after coffee rush at 9:30 am.After wiping down, table so wet had to get napkins and dry myself.People behind counter here always very polite and nice, but something is missing with the charm of days gone by, no bulletin board or couches and feels like owners just not watching the store closely. Maybe its just me, and Ill keep coming back. Best coffee in town, worth the mile and a half walk.

Pecan and craisin oatmeal, bagel with egg and cheddar, soy milk hot cocoa, pesto panini, and hot cider! Great way to start our day!

Food was pretty bland, tacos tasted the same as the burrito. Drink order was wrong and customer service was sorta rude. Cool location and interior.

Super cute and tasty local vegan coffee shop. SHOP LOCAL, TOTALLY WORTH IT!

This restaurant is proof that Americans will eat anything and say its good. Didnt enjoy the food or the bitter coffee. Dunkin donuts is better than them. The only thing that makes sentinent bean good is because of their vegan options. Thats the only reason why I give them two stars.

Fun atmosphere and plenty of vegan options. They have delicious drink options and coffee. Highly recommend the breakfast.

Good coffee and coffee drinks, and limited breakfast options at reasonable prices. They also serve wine and beer. A daily morning routine if staying in the Forsythe Park area.

I am allergic to dairy. The vegan pancakes were wonderful and the vegan hot cocoa was a true treat.

Great coffee to start the day!

Loved eating here! A chill vibe, efficient service even on a busy Saturday lunchtime, and excellent vegetarian food ❤️

Awesome, delicious, friendly place - Savannah is super cool. Love this place.

Pet friendly, Great Food and Vegan and Vegetarian Friendly!Must try the Green Brain and the Kissadilla with the spicy Peach salsa!

The coffee was one of the best I’ve ever had, and I’m harsh on different types of coffee. The service was amazing, everyone’s attitudes were very friendly and nice. 10/10 would recommend for a quick stop to eat, and a cup of coffee.

My wife and I ate breakfast at the Sentinent Bean this morning. We will not be returning because none of the Staff were wearing masks. Given the trends in COVID this was extremely irresponsible and we were quite disappointed.

The zucchini bread was delicious and the drip coffee outstanding. Highly recommend !

Every time I pass Savannah I have to stop in this place. Excellent coffee, fair prices, vegan and vegetarian food that tastes as good as omni food, and a wonderful atmosphere. I love this place!

Loved the atmosphere. Had a very diverse group of customers, and a rather large menu of both drinks and food. Loved the coffee I tried :)

Ordered a vegan breakfast burrito only to realize that after taking a few bites it was NOT the vegan version of the burrito. Extremely upset and angry by the experience.

Really chill place with many many nice options and very friendly staff.There is plenty of seating including indoor and outdoor.Definitely recommended!

The breakfast burrito was delicious! Adorable ambience and a great little coffee shop

Cute little coffee spot with great vegan options, outdoor seating right next to the park.

Very atmospheric coffee house. Lots of drink options, and vegetarian and vegan friendly dishes. Lots of comfortable seating and outdoor seating both front and back.

Terrible coffee. They couldn’t get our order right and it was very frustrating. The girl at the register charged us wrong. And the bathroom is disgusting, one of the worst I’ve ever been in. We will never be back. We went next door to Brighter Day and got a juice— so much better!

Bomb vegan burrito. Fruit smoothie and vegan lemon berry bread was also great.

Great experience here. Awesome breakfast and kicking coffee. Perfect place to park, walk straight through Forsythe Park and make your way down the beautiful neighborhoods and squares to the river front.

Nice coffee. Not too pricey. The bathroom needs some upgrades ASAP

Atmosphere is great, relaxed and good for conversation. Coffee was wonderful and food was good.

Quickly stopped in on my way out of savannah! would definitely come back next time i’m in town. the girl who took my order was super sweet and suggested a bunch of neat local places to seek out next time. a cozy environment!

Great local coffee shop and event space. All vegetarian and vegan menu with a majority of products being sourced locally and regionally. Staff was friendly, service was quick and very importantly the coffee was great

Got the mochaGot to say worst coffee I’ve triedRough dirty water tasteVery disappointed

Friendly staff. Great coffee. Phenomenal location

The practiced social distancing (I love their sign says Mask cover the mouth AND nose). The coffee was good, the double chocolate brownie was good as well. Only issue was that the bathroom could use some TLC.

Delicious cold brew coffee and awesome breakfast burrito!

So I finally got to check this place out today while visiting the local hotspots needless to say I was unfortunately not impressed with the quality and the value of the service 🙃First off the iced coffee was extremely watery, the vegan breakfast tacos where extremely bland and had absolutely no spice or flavor to them, needless to say I probably won’t be going back.

This is one of the few great cafes around savannah, known for having a lot of gluten free and vegan options plus great coffee. The food is great and the coffee is fabulous, the breakfast tacos, the burrito, the vegan Superbowl, croissant are a must try with the house blends coffee, their almond chocolate brownie is so yummy highly recommend any of their vegan desserts/pastries, located at the Forsyth Park, grab and bite and spend you time inside the cafe or outside In the park!

GREAT coffee! Convenient patio seating in the front and back. I look forward to coming here every time I come to Savannah for some joe and a walk around Forsyth Park.

Great coffee and peeps but management is still living in the 90s with the $5 credit card minimum and no dogs rule. People rarely carry cash, and dogs are considered family members. I recommend adapting.

Loved the BBQ tofu tacos!

Im confused as to why the straws and cups are compostable but there is no compost bin to place them in at the coffee shop. I was told to put it in the trash, where it will go on to release methane from the landfill it ends up in and contributing to global warming. Please add a compost bin or use recyclable cups instead.

Cute spot, good coffee and vegan munchies!

I had the worse experience with them through postmates. Missing items. And its not the delivery driver fault. Its the restaurant. And on top of that I found hair in my macchiato. I will never buy anything from here ever again I dont care how good the food and the reviews are. NEXTEdit: Responding to the reply I received from sentinent bean. Missing items definitely plays a part on the restaurant and as for you wanting to make me another macchiato I will definitely pass on that. Even if you were to give it to me for free. This is why hair nets are very important smh.

Really good coffee and friendly service. Nice outdoor seating as well

VEGAN food in Georgia!!! what a hit.. so many good items on the menu.. we went twice!!but the best lemme tell you!!!dirty south!!! it changed my life. i try and emulate it now everywhere i go ! everywhere. nothing compares to the way they make it. perfect.. food is great drinks are phenomenal.. staff was pleasant.. cant say enough good things..

Im super disappointed by the experience. After standing in line I was told that kitchen is closed, - it would be nice to state earlier. Then since I already spent time in line, Ive ordered coffee. I didnt get it either as 5$ wasnt enough for credit card. I understand the rules though itd be a nice gesture.

Cheap! Wish the yogurt had fresh instead of frozen fruit. Omelet was basic. But great spot, nice place.

I loved all the vegan options. so yummy. reasonably priced as well. great location for a lunch and walk in the park afterwards.

Best coffee shop! I love the zero waste and eco-friendly efforts that they put into their work. Its beautiful, and I think the eggs and dairy are locally sourced. I had the best yogurt and to make it even better I added some tupelo honey from Savannah Bee Company nearby. Highly recommend.

Tons of excellent vegan options at reasonable prices! Staff was friendly, minimal wait time, and portions were decently sized. I highly recommend The Sentient Bean!

The lady at the front was acted a bit like a know it all, but the coffee and Italian soda was good.

Cute little coffee shop with amazing food. Friendly service and delicious options. GREAT options for vegetarians and vegans, a hard to find quality here in Savannah. Would highly recommend to anyone as their pastries/breads and specialty drinks are unique.

Great coffee and large selection of breakfast items. We got 2 breakfast burritos and our coffee and walked the park. This was the perfect start to our first Saturday morning in Savannah! Staff was also very friendly and quick with getting out the order.

Amazing place. Great coffee and food options. I got a vegetarian option and it was amazing!
