Really good! But they’ve made the iced coffee I ordered hot twice now even though it was stated multiple times how I wanted it. (It wasn’t the owner but the lady who sometimes helps out). And got my flavor wrong too. And out of oat milk. Also not open til 10 am but very delicious. Maybe it’s 9? Online says 10 confirmed 7 weeks ago. Used to be 9 at some point. Door says 9.
I love Book and Bean! The staff is always pleasant and the atmosphere is welcoming. Ask for the red velvet cupcakes — the only red velvet cake I've actually liked! I hope they're there next time I go! <3 I like the avocado BLT, too!
Great lunch and iced tea. Always feel welcome and other patrons are friendly as well!
My favs are definitely the Hot Caramel Latte and the Hemingway Sandwich!
Book and Bean Cafe is a treasure housed within the Joliet Public Library's Black Road Branch. I thought it was simply a coffee shop but was pleased to learn they have a broad menu of food items and baked treats. There's a children's menu too, and puzzles and games for children to play with in the cafe. I had the tomato tortellini soup with a grilled cheese and it was delicious. I look forward to returning!
Stopped in for a quick bite and loved it!!!!
Love this place. Definitely a hidden gem inside the west joliet public library.
