Lil Bean is the only place I eat at now in Jacksonville. Hands down the best food in the area. I’m always impressed with their quality, friendly and personable customer service, and even at their most busy times, their efficiency is always on point. I can always manage to call ahead and pick up my order before work, and never have to worry about being held up there (one of my favorite qualities of them!). I love eating in there too, it’s so comfortable and welcoming. They always make my coffees perfectly (and I’m picky!). This place, the people, + the owners are a 10/10. A gem in Jacksonville.

I love this place. The vanilla chai is amazing and the chicken pesto sandwich is always so good every time I get it. The employees are very friendly and the environment is very upbeat. It's a little bit pricey, but they also serve higher quality food and drinks than most other places, so it makes sense. Love how close to base this shop is too

Grilled Chicken Pesto
We ordered coffee through the drive through, we both got a specially holiday drink- mine was good but super sweet. I forgot to ask about making it less sweet so my fault, but goodness it had a lot of sweet! My daughter said hers was good and she very much enjoyed it.
The guy taking our order was very helpful and patient with our questions.
We will definitely return!

This is a great place and I enjoyed the food that I ordered. The atmosphere is great and the staff is knowledgeable and personable to assist you in making a great choice. One of the few places in town that I am able to find a great tea selection variety. Today they did not have the muffins but I arrived after the breakfast rush to give an idea of how good their muffins are and I recommend them.

I love the vibe of this place! I was here for the 40th Beirut anniversary/memorial and stopped in for an afternoon snack. They served me the best cup of decaf I’d had all week. The homemade blueberry muffin was very good too, and it wasn’t one of those sickly-sweet cupcake type of muffins - it was a proper blueberry muffin with big, fat, juicy blueberries! Lil’ Bean Cafe is an example of why I love supporting family-owned businesses - you just can’t beat the quality and service!

The lady who took my order was just a sweetheart! Answered all of my questions and service was impeccable. The food was 10/10, I ordered a Bacon, egg, and cheese and was over the moon they had a choice of croissant! And for coffee a Cold brew added the flavors of almond, dark chocolate, and coconut! Love this cute little place, definitely worth checking out!

Love finding hidden gems that are not well known like Starbucks for morning breakfast. Staff was friendly and patient with our decisions. Wife ordered the sausage egg and cheese on a croissant and I ordered the omelet. We also ordered a spiced chi tea and an iced latte. I can’t give this place enough praise for the quality of the food and balance of the drink quality. We will definitely be back!

Great staff, good vibes in the restaurant, staff was kind enough to hand me a menu because I didn’t even notice they had them! They talked with me about my order to make sure everything was good. Prices are super good & they actually had decaf iced coffee which is hard to find in this area! Delicious coffee overall. Also, they had toys for our daughter to play with while we sat and drank our coffees! My husband and I are sad to be moving soon but will try to visit again before we do move! Thank you lil’ bean cafe! 🫶🏻

Great coffee shop, staff are really friendly and there’s a great atmosphere here. I got a Cappuccino and the Ham Breakfast Burrito. Coffee was great and so was the burrito. I sat on the patio and the food was brought out to us. Definitely recommend trying this place out.

This place is awesome! The staff is so knowledgeable in recommendations, they are all hilarious once u get to know them. The vibe in the shop is hands down so chill and relaxing. The food and drinks are amazing. I recommend the avocado toast for breakfast and the grilled chicken pesto for lunch , the new pesto sauce is key and the seasonal bees knees latte! The new owners are doing an incredible job with making this place welcoming and inviting. Highly recommended this place!!
