Dancing Bean Menu

If I lived in the area, The Dancing Bean would be my go-to coffee spot.

“A caffeine fix was in need after a great day of hiking. And The Dancing Bean was the perfect stop! I ordered an iced coffee. It was smooth and had great flavor. My wife ordered a tea with strawberry, which she really enjoyed. The service was extremely friendly, and the entire store was clean. If I lived in the area, The Dancing Bean would be my go-to coffee spot.”

I got the Nitro coffee and it was amazing!

“I got the Nitro coffee and it was amazing! Very bold flavor and somehow still frothy from the nitrogen. Highly recommend. The iced chai latte was also very good. They have a range of muffins, pastries and brownies as well.”
