The Magic Bean is celebrated for its comforting American-style breakfasts, particularly the pancakes and signature Egg McBagel. Diners also appreciate the cozy, themed atmosphere and friendly service.

Definitely American style.
Keep it up magic bean 💪"

"I ordered a veggie burrito and received a burrito full of hotdogs. Service was ok. upstairs patio is nice. Espresso and burrito came out to $18, which seemed expensive."
Jay Graham
"Service was great.. atmosphere was cute and inviting. Food "looked" delicious, however, it was not good. We ordered a waffle and pancakes and scrambled eggs. The waffle and the pancakes were cold and dry. They taste like they had been made up hours before they were served. Which makes no sense because they only takes 3 minutes to cook. Also, the eggs were gooey and liquidy from not being cooked. It was really frustrating because based on the presentation I was expecting it to taste delicious. Whoever was cooking this day needs to be told that taste is more important than presentation.. Anyways, the waitress was really nice."
