Way of Bean - coffee club

Wouldn't it be great if every small town had a fabulous local venue that was full of friends, nice food, and excellent coffee and tea? Well Oracle has been waiting for what seems like centuries for just that and now can enjoy it in this creative and peaceful place.Locals all remember when this structure housed Oracle's "Middle Circle K" and how all sorts of folks gassed up their cars and trucks here and bought their winning (!) lottery tickets, too. Now, in a total makeover, the owner Kristina and her talented crew have rescued Oracle and made this building the coffee club of dreams. Hey, it's a "way of being".....Open only one week, the first breakfast day was on Saturday, Dec.17.2022, and served as an experiment for what is to come. I met well over a dozen of my local friends this day and had an excellent open-face, avocado and fried egg sandwich that was most tasty and satisfying. The farm-fresh local bacon and sausage on the side made it the perfect breakfast as well.The future is bright at the Bean: a raised platform in the southwest corner of the giant main room will one day soon begin hosting live music and maybe a dance (?). It also seem likely that groups will want to meet here and would be able to sequester half the room for a get-together, perhaps educational, familial, or for business.The Bean will be famous in the very near future for giving Oracle another special place to hang out and enjoy life. I am so grateful and if you wander by on American Avenue, make sure to have a look and a tasty espresso or two. You'll be back quicker than you think.EDIT: Nov.13.2023The new menu for Saturday and Sunday breakfast is in full force and the happiness quotient has risen 1008%!!Vegetarian options: Always at least one veggie meal option on the breakfast menu.Kid-friendliness: Bring the entire family!Wheelchair accessibility: Big double door entrance and no stairs on the main floor level.

Great cafe! Their fancy chai tea was delicious—I could see the cardamom pods in the basket. They had 2 vegan food items, which was a bagel with avocado, and berry compote, and non-dairy milks. They had a couple of gluten-free pastries and gluten-free dishes. I really liked the artsy vibe, warm ambiance l, and friendly staff. They’re also dog friendly!

My writing group went here for coffee, a couple of times each time the service was slower and slower. They never have fresh brewed coffee on hand. You have to buy the specialty if you want to get served at all, One of our riders bought the membership which we still can’t get served. We ended up walking out on them yesterday and then as we’re loading back up onto the bike they come out. Can we help you a little too late? We stay there for 15 minutes waiting for them to help us, we won’t be making a regular stop anymore main due to the service. If you get coffee it’s good the shop is very cute.

I love this place. If I lived closer I’d be a regular member. They offer a 1 day membership for people passing through like me or longer term membership. In doing so they took a legal stand against the meddling authorities who wanted to control access, parking, and a host of other activities that’s none of their business. If I ever go back I’ll buy a permanent membership even though I may not ever return just to support them. The latte with heavy cream was great and the owner was very polite. Go there if you’re in oracle or just passing through.

I really like to stop by on my way of the been, and get a cruising iced macchiato to go. I had a really nice breakfast on the weekend. It was served at just the right time of the morning, even though they stopped serving early it was worth the show. I am delighted to be a club member. Thanks guys and gals for your kindness and social atmosphere.Wheelchair accessibility: The ramp is smooth and the door is light. Be careful the wind.

The coffee is phenomenal. Loved the Latte that I enjoyed. The atmosphere is great. It's amazing how you can transform an old Circle K into a great coffee shop. It's also a great place to come and work when it's not too busy. I got a lot of writing done while I was here. This place is the definition of local. The staff is super friendly and engaging. Can't wait to come again!

Excellent coffee and pastries. My new favorite place to read a book and enjoy some coffee, especially on a rainy or snowy day.

Wonderful coffee shop for the small unincorporated village of Oracle. Everyone is friendly, coffee is excellent, was able to accommodate a sugar free and decaf latte for me, which I greatly appreciated. The pastries looked amazing, but I have not tried them yet. Highly recommend!

Great people here. Live music, great coffee, very nice staff. We were in a bind with a disabled vehicle. It was Christmas Eve and they provided assistance in getting a ride to Tucson. Very nice place to have coffee, eat a delicious danish, and listen to music while we got back on track. Reasonable membership price with great perks.

Excellent coffee (especially the Brazilian blend). Great service with a friendly atmosphere that has an interior thatis both unique and warm. Recommend that the patio area has some type of fencing separating the patio area from the pkng. lot like maybe a railed or picket style.
