Classic Bean

One of the largest menus in one of the largest cafes I've ever seen. It is more like a Viking Mead Hall, but replace the flagons of mead with 20oz cups of freshly roasted exotic coffees from across the globe and replace the Vikings with an assortment of huge breakfast meals and lunch sandwiches. Seriously, the egg & cheese croissant at Classic Bean was bigger than a quarter pound burger. It took a while to come out, but I was super excited when I unwrapped that glorious monster. Big. Big! BIG!! breakfast food here. Enjoyed it so much I went back every morning. And each time they had a different specialty coffee: Ethiopian -> Guatemalan -> Peruvian. An amazing tour of the globe without leaving Topeka, thanks to the Classic Bean!

Favorite coffee shop in town. They have THE best rueban sandwich in Topeka. Expresso ON POINT and very attentive staff. Love the atmosphere. Got an iced mocha with double Expresso. Very good will be back

Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Delicious muffins and coffee. Great atmosphere. Would recommend to others for great coffee. I would also recommend the Fairlawn location.

Carbonated beverages are a bit on the high price but I'll chalk it up to inflation. Buffalo chicken wrap didn't really taste like buffalo and the men's restroom has urine stained seats. If you're here for coffee it might be worth a look

There are not enough words or stars to express how much I adore this coffee shop, especially the downtown location. You can tell how much Doug pours his heart and soul (and espresso) into his cafe. The art exhibits are cycled every couple of months, I believe. Both locations feature local artists who hang their musings on the walls and into the eyes community, giving everyone (locals and visitors), a chance to connect and even support local businesses and art communities. The ambiance is quiet, warm, and inviting. Their radio is soft enough to have pleasant conversations over but just loud enough to take in your surroundings. In addition, their music selection is broad: from the 60s to current hits – No matter what is on their radio, it adds that extra touch of familiarity. Every Thursday, I stop in with large drink orders, which Nicole and Doug handle like champs. To add, they remember names and orders – and not just mine and my co-workers: Time and time again, I witness a patron walk through the front door, and Nicole or Doug are already preparing that person's order and greeting them by name and a smile. This coffee shop is a staple and a beloved gem of the Topeka Community. I love this place and I love you, Doug and Nicole! Thank you for making my mornings so warm and bright!
