the human bean

Good coffee, a little kindness, and a bean on top. One window, off El Toro.

The signature

There's a bean on top.

Every drink we hand out the window comes with a little chocolate-covered espresso bean floating on top. Nobody asks for it. It's just there, every time, on the house. A small kindness from the people at the window to the person in the car.

you brew you, we'll bring the bean.

The drive-thru lane

pull up, pull through.

No mall, no parking deck, no line inside. One lane off El Toro and four small steps between you and a hot cup.

    One lane off El Toro Rd. No mall, no parking deck. You roll up to a little window with string lights and a steaming-cup sign.

    Bean on top

    Every drink leaves the window with a little chocolate-covered espresso bean floating on top. A small kindness, on the house, every time.

On the window

a few we'd point you to.

Coffee and espresso, frozen granitas, Bright Energy refreshers, real-fruit smoothies. These are the ones the window crowd keeps coming back for.

Hey, I'm Noah

I built this for The Human Bean out of Laguna Hills.

I'm local, and I think The Human Bean deserves a real home online. So I built you a preview. Here's where you are today, and where I'd take you.

The Human Bean online today

Right now The Human Bean lives on Instagram. Beautiful photos, but no home base your customers can book, trust, or find on Google.

What I built for you

Everything you just scrolled through, up top. That's your new site.

This is The Human Bean with a real home online.
