Hooked On the Bean

I'll just set the scene:
It's snowing, a literal ton.
I slide in next to Hooked on the Bean to a smiling face. I requested coffee and breakfast. (Ham egg and cheese croissant, of course)
A.) I've always gotten the perfect hot cup of happy.
B.) Try some breakfast, just do it. Soooo good and made fresh (NOT microwaved) 💜

The atmosphere was really nice and the service was great the drinks were good too!

We love this place! It is a coffee "shack" along Kalifornsky Beach Rd in the Kenai/Soldotna area. They have fantastic drinks, hot and cold, and some of the best breakfast sandwiches I have seen. A ham, egg and cheese bagel has a huge slab of ham. Definitely homemade and awesome. They are easy to get to and get out of as well. I am definitely a return customer and will continue to be.

Unbelievably large selection of coffees, Italian sodas, flavored red bull drinks, and food items. Between the selections and the service, you'll be blown away. Get a customer card and check them out today!

I used to love this place. They decided to get rid of jet tea smoothies and their smoothies are nowhere’s near what they used to be. The other day I ordered a pineapple coconut smoothie. It costed me $10.50 and was the worst smoothie I’ve ever tasted. It didn’t taste right like the barista messed it up. I drove back to substitute it for a different flavor smoothie. The barista consented and I decided to order a mango smoothie (I don’t usually go wrong with mango). She finished making the smoothie and said that it would be $7.25. I explained to her that she apparently didn’t understand what I meant by substituting the smoothie because I wasn’t planning to pay again when I had already paid $10.50. After paying $10.50 and driving back, she tells me that I’d have to pay again; that they can’t just substitute the drink. What a joke. She made the mango smoothie and then couldn’t hand it to me. This place apparently doesn’t care about business anymore. The customer service and quality of product left much to be desired. Hooked On the Bean has fallen. I’m taking my money to places like The Brew where they actually know what they’re doing when it comes to making drinks and treating customers like royalty.

The service was very good, but I ordered a toasted bagel with cream cheese, the bagel wasn’t toasted at all, it was just warm. The cream cheese also made me disappointed, just a block of cream cheese between the two bagel slices. Didn’t spread it on both just a block between them.

Excellent customer service. They get to know what their customers want, which makes ordering easy. Pull up and smile to confirm. Great tasting coffee. I never order unless I know for sure I have a tip for the barista.

Quick and friendly service with good prices, good drive-in entrance from both ways, clean appearance, and knowledgeable staff. Remembers customers very well if you have a unique preference, which makes getting your coffee in the morning even quicker.

I ordered a (4) shot, white chocolate wedding cake mocha. From the time I ordered it to the time I recieved my coffee, less then 1 minute had passed which threw up a red flag but I said thank you and pulled out anyway. After taking a drink I quickly realized why it took less then 60 seconds to make. Needless to say there were not 4 shots! I have never written a review but when you pay over 5$ for a damn cup of coffee it better be right and this wasnt a "simple mistake either" I was the only person there. (I paid 6.50$ with a 1$ tip which I wouldnt have done had I tasted it before I paid).

I ordered a sugar free coconut Frappuccino with 4 shots espresso. First I got a baby frap hot, “nope I ordered a sugar free coconut grape Gino 4 shots espresso, next I get a Frappuccino with chocolate syrup all over. I asked “this is sugar free?” Nope! “Lol that’s ok” third time she came back with a dark chocolate Frappuccino and said “it’s sugar free”. I just drove away 20 minutes three tries still no coffee.
