Classic Bean Menu

Sorry, We are updating this restaurant menu details.

    This is a favorite local coffee house, cafe and deli in Topeka for breakfast, lunch, dinner, coffee break or late night. Breakfast includes sandwich wraps served with fruit. For lunch or dinner there is a large selection of sandwiches, soups and salads. There are also scones, cookies, brownies, cakes and baked goods for anytime during the day. Beverages include coffee, tea, served either hot, iced or blended, soda, fruit beverages and bottled water. The food choices are made fresh, so you might have to wait a little bit to be served, especially if you arrive after 11:30 am for lunch or after 5:30 pm for dinner, but the wait won't be long. There is also full bar service. The restaurant is large with plenty of areas for private gathering. You will find people reading, working on computers, meetings, bridge groups, or just relaxing. The servers are very welcoming. The restrooms are clean. There is also a small meeting room separate from the main dining room for privacy. A small fee is charged for use of the meeting room. Entertainment is provided on the small stage on Friday and Saturday nights. Live performances from local musicians of jazz, blues, bluegrass, folk and accoustical guitar.

    We stayed in Topeka for a night and wanted to check out a local coffee joint before leaving town. So glad we ended up here. The barista (wish I could remember her name!) was very friendly and sweet and we chatted for a bit while she whipped up our drinks. As for the beverages, we got a mocha (me) and a breve (mom) and both were good. It's hard to come by a good breve and my mom really enjoyed hers. My mocha was tasty and not overly sweet as coffee chains tend to be. We didn't get anything to eat but the pastries sure looked good. Seating was plentiful and it looked like a stage for music performers on the evenings/weekends. Didn't seem like you'd have to fight to get a seat unless you were there while there was live entertainment. All in all, a solid coffee shop, especially for a place like Topeka (no offense, Topekans!). I'd come back if I come this way again.

    I don't review every visit. Love this local place. Wish the service at the counter was a bit more efficient because I hesitate to go in during the lunch rush. Latest visit was for afternoon snack to meet a friend. The brie, bagel, and fruit platter was perfect to share. Really, there needs to be a second bagel in the portion for the amount of cheese. We were able to add one on, but for an additional 50% of the platter's cost. Love the mango bubbles in the house Paradise Tea. Highly recommend.

    Who knew Topeka had a decent live acoustic music venue for folks on the wild side of the music? You know, banjos, fiddles, acoustic guitars, mandolins, etc. Well, the Classic Bean has been serving up a regular menu of this kind of entertainment for years, and the food and drinks (coffee/beers) are decent to boot. Tucked away in a funky looking 70-80s suburban strip mall, the exterior and surrounding businesses do not inspire confidence. Don't let that stop you. This is a pretty darn cool little place and there's even a bit of outdoor seating if you prefer that to the music inside. The Bean as well call it is a real bright spot for acoustic music in an otherwise dreary town (my opinion). Oh, and they pay their musicians fairly, a real rarity in today's political and economic climate. I'm a Bean fan for sure. Yea, I only go for the music (usually I'm playing) but it's easy to see why this place is a magnet for a lot of people hanging out on the weekends.

    The larger Classic Bean is very hit or miss for me. The service especially varies. Some of the baristas are on the smarmy side, which I don't appreciate. The coffee and food are good as at other locations. The coffee shop itself is spacious with a lot of areas for studying, hanging out, meetings, etc. and this spot hosts live events.

    I've come here a number of times now and really like it. Good selection of coffees and food. It seems pretty pricey, but I'm willing to pay that for a good local coffee shop. No matter when I come in, the tables are always pretty full. So I guess others like this place too :) staff is always cool too. My real only complaint is that it can take a long while to get my drink sometimes. Usually, it's not too bad. But there have been times (even when nobody else is in line before me) that it can take close to ten minutes to get my drink. All in all though, this place is really good. Highly recommend it if your around!

    Lattes usually taste fine. Lots of seating options, but the electrical sockets are loose, wiggly, and scarce. Like someone didn't finish building the place. Also, the wifi cuts out all the time. I've complained numerous times with no change. I've stopped going there. So if you're a student who wants to do homework while drinking a coffee, you have better options. Classic bean on fairlawn is for the elderly.

    My latte taste kind of burnt. The people were nice enough though. They had a lot of options. The space was big and would try it again but not terribly impressed. I'd like to try the food options next time.
