What people say, in short
Most commenters recommend Bean Around The World; recommendations cover the brand across its outlets, and the map shows the Main and Broadway one. A few call it cozy; one finds the Americano strong and one says its hours let them study all day through university. One says it is open until midnight, though another says the hours changed about two months ago and it no longer stays open late. Criticism focuses on changes over time: one says a new owner changed the feel and raised prices, one that the piano was removed, and a couple say it has gone downhill or been ruined.
