cool beans coffee roasters

one of best coffee shops around,starbucksdoesn't even compare... give them a try, tell them wht u like & they will try their best to make it!

fabulous iced latte. i was skeptical when my husband offered to buy me an iced latte at cool beans in marietta. i hastily told him i only like starbucks. but as we drew near the shop it smelled so i good i said i'd give it a try. to my utter delight my iced latte was absolutely delicious! i'm hooked now. it was better thanstarbuckswith a really bold flavor which i love. i might add i drink decaf lattes and for anyone who does and also enjoys the stong flavor of espresso, this is the place to go.

cool beans is my cheers. i absolutely love this place. i have been waking up to a cup of delicious cool beans espresso served by some of the friendliest people in marietta for nearly 2 years now. their espresso is the best i've found this side of the atlantic (i was introduced to espresso in italy, so the bar was set pretty high...).

the bariste at cool beans really know what they are doing. the shots they pull are the proper viscosity and have a beautiful thick crema on top...yum! thestarbucksand caribou wanna-bes press a button and create a cup of dirty water for you. cool beans bariste grind the in-house roasted espresso beans to order (they even adjust the grind periodically throughout the day to account for the effects of humidity and temperature fluctuations). they carefully tamp the grounds and brew to create the perfect shot (or in my case, the perfect 4 shots) of espresso. sure, the process may take minute or two longer than the corporate drive-thru "cafes", but the cool beans product is definitely worth the wait. it is absolutely fabulous.

not only is the product worth the trip, the atmosphere is warm, friendly, and inviting. i have met so many wonderful people there (both employees and customers alike). i look forward to my visits in the morning on my way to work. no matter what mood i'm in when i arrive, i always leave happy. (by the way, my co-workers thank you for that, cool beans. :-d)

it's nice to have a place in marietta where i can honestly say "everyone knows my name."

what happened?. so, truly, i used to love this place. bought my coffee there, loved the usual guy working behind the counter, and was willing to wait in the long line, but lately, there's been a new guy behind the counter on monday afternoons, who would be described as surly at best. seriously, this man is rude, unhelpful, and obviously hates being in the service industry. this has caused me to begin buying my whole beans atstarbucks(gasp!) or caribou and spend my time on the square at any other establishment. truly, everyone, find another place....sad but true....

great non-corp coffee shop. if you are not a big fan ofstarbucksand want something different, this is the place. i've been buying a pound of coffee every week for my brewing needs at home. fresh roasted beans with the roaster sitting by the back enterance for all the view. highly recommended!

very cute coffee shop. we were looking for something different than the typicalstarbucksand that's what we found! this is a quaint little coffee shop that is a great place to hang out!
