Our Story

Believe it or not, this active community was once nothing but a tomato field.

Sowing the seeds of "big town convenience and small-town connection", the town of Ave Maria has come a long way!

Need a pick me up after a morning of wandering around the quaint town center of Ave Maria?

Stop by The Bean!

Grab a seat outside to take in the stunning view of the church's beautiful architecture. Or kick back and relax indoors with our friendly atmosphere.

Our breakfast menu is available for you to enjoy for every meal, seven days a week.

We love meeting new friends and keeping up with the old.

Whether you're in the mood to dine-in or grab a coffee on the go, we're glad you're here!

Simply the Best

We Love Coffee

Locally roasted from Guadalupe Roastery (every cup of Guadalupe Coffee supports their farming family and local communities!).

Prefer a sweet, aromatic, regular blend? No problem!

Enjoy a smooth-bodied dark roast? We've got you!

Need an extra expresso boost? Coming right up!

There’s something for everyone in our full coffee bar.

Nice to Meet You!

Our Team

Stop by, say hi, and make new friends at The Bean.

"The Bean is now serving Breakfast! We had 3 great dishes amongst us: bagel and egg sandwich, French toast and an omelette. Came with hash browns and toast. Coffee is always great. Always clean, family friendly and superior service." 👍

"Great food, great service, and just a nice atmosphere for getting breakfast, lunch, or just coffee (a cappuccino in my case the other day). The owners are wonderful people as well!"
