I am in love!

Romancing the Bean is wonderful. I'm new in town, staying in a by-the-week motel while I seek a job. I did a search on wifi and came up with RTB among others.
I tried it on a Wednesday about 9am. (And I am still here at 2pm!) What I love is that not only do they have comfortable seating and large enough tables to put your laptop in the perfect position for work, they have AC outlets all over the place so you don't need to waste your battery. The wifi is free (password-protected) and easy to use and the nice folks who run the place do not put any pressure on you to move along. Oh, and the restrooms are modern and clean. I am impressed and I will be back.

A Coffee Shop With a Lots of Extras

Romancing the Bean's new location has all of the standard coffee drinks (espresso, ice blendeds, cappuccino, etc.) plus a good breakfast and lunch menu and some cookies/desserts. There is also a sitting area with comfy chairs and they have live entertainment some nights. There is a lot of nearby street parking. (Edited May 31, 2007)

good for meet and greets, but could be cozier

Nice to meet for more than casual encounters. Great selection of drinks, good smoothies, and delicious desserts and baked goods. Tried a wrap and was moderately unimpressed. Love the fireplace. A nice couch or two to sink into would make it a five-star coffeehouse.

Romancing the Bean Cafe is a family own and run cafe that fits perfectly with its neighborhood. Located in the super cute and community oriented Magnolia park in Burbank.

Cute coffee place on Magnolia Blvd. - sandwiches were nice (a bit pricey) that came with a salad with edible flowers. Iced coffee is my favorite here - cold brewed and smooth, ask for the coffee cubes (doesn't water your coffee down as much as it melts). I had a toffee sea salt chocolate cooke here that haunts my dreams.

So cute

all the best coffee shop

Try the summer salad. you. won't. be. sorry. ever.

Awesome coffee and excellent food! Can't got wrong here!

Killer lattes and vanilla blended...awesome decor!

I love this place. Great coffee. Great food, friendly and feels like a home town spot. Love the feeling when I go there. Everyone knows who I am and always a smile. YUM!

best coffee house plus great gourmet food!!!

Votez :)

Vote for Romancing The Bean !
And original & Delicious Coffee shop ! Romancing The Bean deserves the first place!

Not only the best coffee, but the food is fresh, flavorful and healthy. and the sweets? To die for!

Great place to sit back and relax and enjoy their great coffee! Friendly and very accommodating people.

Most delicious coffee and food!!

Pleasant staff and great coffee. Try the banana royal! OMG ??

The quiche is awesome!

Romancing The Bean is not an ordinary coffee shop. It's not like a Starbucks or a Coffee Bean with robot baristas selling your overpriced "coffee" and a cold stale excuse for a "sandwich". Romacing The Bean is special. It's a place where you can go to hang out with friends. A place to get a great hot, home cooked meal prepared by a Le Cordon Bleu chef. A place to grab a cup of delicious coffee...

Vote for romancing the bean !

I vote for Romancing The Bean because the food there must be amazingly DELICIOUS.

Well, I must say, I was quite surprised when I walked in. First, this place is secretly HUGE! Second, its such a yummy little gem inside the heart of Oldtown Burbank (I think that's what that area is?) And third, the prices are very reasonable -considering the outrageous prices some boutique coffee shops charge.

So, like most places I'm trying for the first time, I check in to yelp and check...

Fun little cafe to get coffee, tea, and juice drinks. It reminds me of a place near my old office in DTLA, but right in the middle of this adorable stretch of shops in Burbank.

Best cafe in LA

Lovely family owned gourmet cafe. Coffee, tea, organic, farm-fresh foods. The best.

RTB has THE BEST COFFEE! They put coffee ice cubes in their iced coffee...genius! Also... the most amazing fresh farm to table dishes you could ask for. Best cafe in LA.

it's seriously outstanding with it's coffees and pastries, but the staff is what seals the deal here. check it out, friends, and go vote for them in their quest to be best coffee shop in los angeles, because they are. #dosequisguygetshismuffinshere

I went here a couple times but stopped going because the staff had such poor attitudes toward customer service. I walked by recently and they're closed up with a "for lease" sign in the window. I'm wondering why they closed. Does anyone know? Maybe their poor service had something to do with it? That should teach 'em.

I went on a week day afternoon and received the worst service of my life. The guy behind the counter was rude, hostile, and should've been wearing a hairnet. The coffee was below average.

I like to grab a coffee here because it has all the personal touches that the big coffee places don't. A community magazine rack, fresh baked goods, they even put a little hear-shaped dusting of cinnamon on your cappuccino! Be sure and grab a frequent coffee card and your 9th one is free.

Romancing the Bean is a good tea shop. It is located at Magnolia Blvd., in Burbank. I like the way the place is set up; very cozy. The service is friendly.
