Bean Traders

Since moving to the triangle area in 2015, I’ve been to Bean Traders well over a thousand times. Simply put, this is one of the best local businesses in the area. Their coffee, pastries, pies, beans, tea - really anything on their menu - is phenomenal. The positivity of the community around this shop is also a thing to behold. Even in 2020, it’s been such a reminder of better times in the past and again in the future. The staff here is very friendly and helpful, and will get to know you and say hello when you stop by. It’s hard to imagine anything else you’d hope for in a local coffee shop - I’m very thankful to have Bean Traders as part of my day to day.

Ordering on the phone or by calling in as a new customer was not user friendly and quick. By the time I spent 5 minutes navigating on the mobile to find out my 2 drink order with a snack will take 30 minutes, wasn’t worth the wait. Now that Covid restrictions have scaled back, ordering inside or having someone to take my order in person and seeing the food in case would have been more appealing and probably worth it. Sight unseen or lack of some personal touch diminishes the appeal to try a new place for me. I respect their decision to be cautious, but I’ll be taking my business to another local company that’s less complicated during all of this while still practicing social distancing.

Very customer oriented staff! The food and drinks are always wonderful! This is definantly my most favorite any-time-of-the-day place to grab a coffee, muffin or bagel.

Bean Traders has done an excellent job with online ordering and safe pickup. There is zero contact. Online ordering was easy. Food was hot and ready when promised and everything was delicious.

Thank you Bean Traders for giving me great gluten free/dairy free food and beverage quality while serving your other customers--it makes you so easy to frequent alongside my friends without being food-jealous. You are appreciated!
