I used to live in Tallahassee and never went here because I thought it was just a coffee house. Man I was wrong. It is awesome inside. First of all the service was amazing. Plenty of varieties of breakfast choices and delicious. As other reviews state, it is a hidden gem. Will definitely stop by when I am back in town.

The Bada Bean is a cute hidden gem frequented by mostly Tallahassee locals. They offer a vast array of sandwiches, American breakfast classics, and some well-decorated griddle specials for your sweet tooth. The indoor and outdoor seatings were both pleasing to look at but made for a rushed serving experience from the waiter. Note this was a Saturday morning, the busiest possible time for a brunch spot. I ordered the meat quiche and it was delicious, but a bit smaller than I would've liked.

This is must try!!! There were tons of options and the items we had were fantastic!! The service was super fast and the staff were very friendly. I can see how it could get busy as the place is small. Please don't let its size scare you off! If I lived close, it would be my weekly staple. Our French toast and skillet would definitely be a repeat. Yum!!!

This is one of the best breakfast/brunch spots in Tallahassee and I always go when I have the time. They are closed every Tuesday which is unfortunately one of the only days I have happened to be able to go lately. They have some very personable servers who elevate the experience and make you feel at home. Unfortunately since the menu has changed, they have gotten rid of some of my favorite lattes and omelette but it has made me branch out and find things I like equally as much!

Meat omelette $14.00 egg, sausage, bacon, and ham accompanied with home fries and raisin toast. Self serving coffee $3.00 regular and decaf coffee and option of cream, cinnamon, honey, and sugar. A lot of options for different varieties of breakfast and lunch meals. Of course a variety of drink options as well. They also offer early bird breakfast meals.

The service was a little slow considering they were slow at the time. My omelet had too much sausage in it compared to the eggs. Husband said his eggs Benedict were worth the wait to be served. My latte was too sweet (and I like mine sweet). It's a typical cafe atmosphere.

The Banda Bean turned out to be a good place to head for when you're looking for a hearty breakfast.  The menu here is surprisingly broad, with lots of omelette and skillet options.  They also have a wide variety of pancakes available. We both enjoyed our food, and I especially enjoyed my skillet; they portion size was VERY generous :-) Tip: This place is located just a few minutes off I-10

On my recent trip to Tallahassee with the family, we had the pleasure of visiting The Banda Bean. I found this restaurant by looking for breakfast and brunch places near my location and this was the first restaurant that popped up on the Yelp list and we were not disappointed but instead, happily surprised of how good it all was. This restaurant is found in a plaza among a pawn shop and though not a big parking lot, we found a space right away thanks to the torrential rain going on at that time that kept most people home. The restaurant is aged a bit but nevertheless has its own charm and warm atmosphere. The food and the service boosted this charm. If you are looking for a great variety of breakfast which includes skillets, omelettes, and plenty of options to feed a group, look no further. They also make an outstanding Cappuccino which was hot and served in a very large coffee mug. The added vanilla syrup gave it enough sweetness while maintaining that strong coffee strength. This drink was very rich and flavorful. For my main course I opted for the country fried steak with scrambled eggs, cheese grits, and biscuits. To say it was amazing would be an understatement. The country fried steak was cooked to perfection, and the combination of scrambled eggs and cheese grits was a savory delight. The biscuits were fluffy and mixed with that country sausage gravy really complemented the entire dish. The service and the friendliness of the staff made our visit feel like a visit to some close family member's own home. The attentive staff made sure all our needs were met in a timely manner. If you are in Tallahassee and looking for a great breakfast spot that won't kill the wallet, look no further than The Bada Bean.

Food was excellent fresh and tasted as it sounded like on menu. Was glad my youngest adult daughter recommended we go here before my long drive home. I got the avocado toast with bacon and she got the cinnamon pancakes which I tasted and was Delicious!
