This small-town feel cafe in downtown Blue Springs has so much to offer. With an extensive menu and welcoming environment, I have a great experience every time I come in. This was my fourth or fifth time in. The service is always stellar and the food always tastes really fresh. This go round I had the turkey apple Panini with a side salad and a pistachio latte with almond milk. They also give you a small side of their cauliflower salad (think pasta salad), but you can't even tell it's cauliflower it tastes so good. I got an almond croissant to go, which was equally delicious. They are very wonderful at creating substitutes that work for your diet whether it's gluten-free, dairy free, etc. The food is delicious and I highly recommend.

Great place. Food is fantastic. Our group had waffles, biscuit sandwich, and the southwest omelette. Everything under $13. First time here. Our new grand baby is just down the street. We will be back.

I would definitely give this place a 4.5/5 stars. Stopped in for a coffee, and it was amazing. Everyone was so polite and the establishment was clean! Much larger space than I was expecting. Was a bit noisy, but not unbareable. The only reason I did not give a 5 star review was because it took 10 minutes to get my coffee.

I don't eat here often, but I'm always so pleased with my meal when I do. The food is always so tasty and fresh. It's one of the things this restaurant boasts about, and they're not wrong. I've never had a bad meal, whether breakfast or lunch. The service is quick. They give you a number and bring it out. Pretty simple. You can tell the employee enjoy working here, and that's great to see! The location of this restaurant is perfect for exploring DTBS. The restaurant is very cozy and perfect when it's rainy out. It reminds me of older diner's in the early 2000s. I wish I could bottle that feeling!

Let me start off with, I really wanted to give Bean Counter Cafe 5/5 stars, but, in my heart of hearts, I knew that wasn't a fair assessment of my first encounter with The Bean. In the middle of old downtown Blue Springs located on a corner of Main Street next to a Pizza Shop, Bean Counter Cafe is a beacon shining in a semi-desolate small downtown. It is obviously local, a small mom and pop business, with not much street appeal. However, once you're inside the surprisingly spacious coffee shop and cafe, you'll find yourself wanting to stay awhile. It's not incredibly "homey," but it's bright and airy and has some random elements of decor. You can tell decoration isn't where the owners put all their thought into, that's the food and drinks, and they are simple but delicious. Think sandwiches of all kinds, breakfasts, and salads, as well as a variety of coffee beverages. I feel like this is one of the cafes where everything on the menu is tasty. I had to go with my third choice, a warm turkey sandwich with granny smith apples, fresh basil pesto, and melted sharp cheese. But, I wasn't in the slightest upset with my "lunchbox" style sandwich. All in all, the experience at Bean Counter Cafe was a fun off the beaten path adventure, but there were little hiccups along the way. They were out of a few menu items, and our order originally did get switched around, we received one of the sandwiches we ordered twice instead of getting the two separate ones we ordered. I'm pretty sure our order got mixed up with the table next to us, but it was easily fixed. If I ever find myself close to this charming cafe, I will stop in again because, overall, it was a very enjoyable experience, and I LOVE to support local.

I am so glad this place relocated and are open! They have great food and coffee. My favorite thing to get there is the blueberry lemon French toast! I really enjoy their seasonal latte's and their hash browns! If you do not come early on the weekends there may be a little bit of a wait but they are very efficient and the coffee comes very quickly to help the time pass by. It feel homey and I really appreciate the large coffee bar and local pictures on the wall. So happy to have a local breakfast joint in the area!! 10/10 from me:)

Came here after the hiatus between the old cafe located in the Village gardens, where it was once located, and now in it's current location. I am pleased with how large and nicely the Bean Counter and it's owners have made with their new location. It is always packed whenever I stop by, and I finally had a chance to check out their new place. It is accommodating for a place to sit with your laptop if you would like, yet with how busy and noisy it gets I am not sure how productive it can be. My husband and I both enjoyed their southwest omelette, yet if memory serves we both felt it was a bit smaller than what it was before, yet still just as tasty. We will have to come back and try from their now larger menu.

Remember the old Bean Counter cafe inside of Colonial Gardens? They have FINALLY reopened at a new location on Main St in Downtown Blue Springs! Woot woot! As expected, the food is fresh and homemade. Both breakfast and lunch are served along with an arrange of coffee of speciality drinks. They don't yet have a drink menu printed - but that's coming soon. I opted for a bear claw and house latte (similar to a cinnamon dolce). The latte was delicious and the bear claw - oh my! Butter, flaky and filled with a cinnamon streusel mixture, it was to do for! The hardest part was making up my mind what to have! Cannot wait to go back and try all the other delicacies!
