Great lunch spot!This is a great place for a quick dine-in bite. So many healthy options for salads and sandwiches. I got the Italian sandwich and an oat milk latte which was fantastic.The vibe is great to hang out and do work, or catch up with a friend. Its not too quiet or too loud - just right!

I went here with my my niece and my dad. Any place I go with him deserves five stars whether or not its enjoyable, whether or not its clean, whether or not its good. Although I can tell you this stay away from the raw chocolate smoothie. Its very gritty. But I can tell you this I love the atmosphere of the place I will be going back and trying other items on the menu.

Came for the name, stayed for the pumpkin lattes. Thats right, pumpkin LATTES in the plural form. I realize pumpkin drinks are divisive, but the fall drink fans like me, this place will warm your little autumnal heart. They had an entire list of fall drink specials, from pumpkin marshmallow to maple. I tried the pumpkin pie latte and it was absolutely fantastic - rich, creamy, comforting, and not overly sweet. Ill definitely be back to try more!Be forewarned they did have wifi rules which I found a little odd, so dont come here and use a laptop in the morning between 11am-2pm because apparently its not allowed? Kind of a weird and unwelcoming vibe with signs posted everywhere about whos allowed to use the wifi, when a laptop can or cannot be used, and how long youre allowed to sit at a table. However, the menu makes up for it. Ill definitely be back to try more because my latte was phenomenal! Ill probably stick to takeout though because it doesnt seem like they want people hanging around.

So you want to go to Portos but the lines around the block and there arent many outdoor tables.Go a few more blocks and stop here, a charming little cafe with delicious pastries and sandwiches with ample outdoor dining.I had the bagel breakfast sandwich, delicious and perfectly done!Very nice staff, too.

Stunning place yet delicious food! The place is fantastic for meeting and doing some work on your laptop! Great staff and top notch food!

I ordered avocado toast. The avocado spread had no flavor. A bit of salt, garlic and perhaps a touch of lime would have livened it up. Plus red pepper flakes were not advertised. Gross. The bread is WAY too thick to be a good, crisp toast.

Okay the staff was nice this is not their fault but my matcha latte barely tasted like matcha was so weak. And the avocado toast is literally just avocado and a couple chile flakes, no flavor. These two items came to $23 what a racket.

Their signs: no WiFi no laptops no exceptions. Hilarious. They’re a coffee shop, who the heck are they kidding? And they wonder why they can’t compete with Starbucks. I got there of course not knowing about this policy and of course they told me it’s because they’re super busy and they can’t have people sitting. I was the only one in the whole place. There were probably 30 or more open seats. Good luck!

Good food...good coffee...good service.

I Had not been to Romancing the Bean since prior to the Pandemic but it was just as great as I remembered it and have been twice in two weeks with my wife and baby daughter. The restaurant was not jam paxked with people and the people that were in there keot their distance and were respectful of space and masks etc.Going later in the day there was a smaller selection of pastries but still plenty to choose from. The croissant, almond croissant, sweet pull apart croissant, strawberry pop tart, and the orange cranberry muffin were all great choices in our two trips.The organic Cold Brew coffee and the Coffee Ice Cubes are the main reason we first came back to this place. We love the coffee ice cubes because your coffee never gets watered down!This past time we also got turkey sandwiches on ciabata bread with a cilantro Mayo and they were excellent. I added onion tomatoes and avocado to mine and it made it even better. Extra layers of flavor and crunch. Will definitely be getting this again very soon.And maybe purchasing a shirt or two.

Love this place! Super friendly and great coffee.

Simply delicious

Cant say enough positive things about Romancing The Bean.Today was my first time to Romancing the Bean, but it certainly wont be my last. The sublime decor 1st captured my attention, but I found myself as equally delighted by the service & the food: so great to have healthy, delicious beautiful choices

Great little coffee breakfast spot . Had breakfast here last week with a colleague and found the quiche Lorraine excellent.Service nice and helpful. Clean, very clean to include bathrooms; always a good sign. Highly recommend.

Best oat milk latte (and regular latte) ever! Really cute independent coffee shop! Definitely worth visiting if youre in the Magnolia Park/Burbank area.

This place is the best. really a cafe with drink, snack and full meal options of my dreams. why most cafes don’t have clever snack options ill never know, but glad RtB exists. Everyone is also always super nice.

Fantastic place for a quick lunch.The prices are a couple dollars more at the store. The menu online is not correct.Italian is $15Nicoise is $14...Might be a bit pricey from the first look but the quality is 5 stars.Super chill vibe. Cool decor for a cafe. Great seating if you wana do some work while eating. I love the big table at the front.I tried the Cold Nicoise salad. It was fantastic. Definitely, original in the flavors and items in it.I loved the potatoes and flower petals? The dressing was amazing. I just loved it.Legit Espresso and coffee.The pastries look real good too. Many choices for cakes and desserts.I would definitely come back to try the Italian Chopped salad as well.

Lovely experience, friendly staff. They stop serving breakfast at 11:30.

Too overpriced. Good food though.

One of my favorite restaurants in all of LA! The food is great, the coffee is excellent and the staff is always so friendly! Highly recommend!

This place is amazing! Plenty of delicious vegetarian options and of course the coffee drinks are superb!They offer seasonal coffee concoctions and I cant wait to try out the new ones.Its crazy that the line at nearby Portos stretches out the door and down the block when Romancing the Bean (not the greatest name, I know) serves better coffee and food at a cheaper price.Inside is comfortable and theres a few shaded tables outside on Magnolia Blvd, which is perfect for people watching.

This place is accessible. The restroom is also ADA

Love this place!! The food is amazing! The ambiance is creative and chill. My #1 go to!!

Slightly pricey, but you absolutely get what you pay for. The food impressed me.

Beans beans the magical fruit the more you drink, the more wired from caffeine you get. (Try the burrito, youll be happy you did. Also the Almond croissant thing was delicious.)

Nice place. Cute decor.

One of the best local coffee shops around. Great coffee, awesome food and really cool people that work there!

Wow !! such a nice shop and the cookies are delicious ! 10/10 would recommend

Cold brew is really good

Great local spot for a coffee or tea without that corporate atmosphere.

Good good and friendly service. Coffee is 9/10.

There are 3 of us in my office at work that love to eat here all the time, at least once a week. The food is great and they offer choices for those with allergies. Such as gluten free and dairy free.You can order online from their website and go pick it up usually within 15 minutes. The only negative I have is that there is very limited parking in that neighborhood and they do not deliver. So, when I have to run to grab our food from Romancing the Bean and run back to the office, it does take longer than other food places I pick up from.They have a reward system that you can redeem at Romancing the Bean or at their sister restaurant, The New Deal. So, thats a nice perk. Their coffee is pretty good with a rich flavor and not burnt. They also have a gluten free muffin that is to die for.There is seating outside in a small corralled area. The seating inside has individual tables and community seating with what looks like limited table service. Its usually crowded but thats a good sign.

Great breakfast selection. They messed up my order a bit...instead is side of fruit..I got side salad. No biggie. I am just glad local businesses are open.

Cool place to have coffee.

Better than average cappuccino. And some kind of chocolate, caramel cookie was amazing. Cool, swanky type place. Seemed pretty popular...not a quiet place to study necessarily. An amazing menu though...will have to return soon for food

Big fan of this place. Their coffees are great, their meals are yummy, and the atmosphere is really nice.Usually Portos is way too busy so this is my go-to when I want to have some coffee or something tasty.

Always fast service even when its busy. Seating is usually a struggle, though. And all the seats tend to be close to each other. its very cozy but youre right up near strangers. luckily there are always nice people there.

The Service: Its my pleasure to meet with the owner, Kerry, and her great team at her restaurant!! She is so passionate about her business and her customers. Besides the good quality of food, great customer service is definitely the reason we want to go back again.The Food:All their coffee are organic. Fresh ingredient and lots of healthy food choices. Love their open kitchen, everything is made to order.My favorite is Our Famous Chicken Curry!! Super flavorful~ you can taste the curry but not overpowering. The chicken is very tender. Love it when they use walnut raisin bread for the sandwich. Highly recommended!I have tried their Italian Chopped Salad and Kale Salad, light dressing, great texture and all fresh ingredients.They also open for breakfast, will definitely go back & try their breakfast menu.The Parking: Street parking on Magnolia (1 hour), on the side streets (2 hours) and parking lot across street (behind the church).... all FREE!

Friendly service, good food and drinks. The pastries can be hit or miss but the rest of the food is delicious and some of the seasonal pastries are amazing (theres a Mexican chocolate thing that is well worth it). Daily specials are also consistently good. Can be crowded during peak hours but a great place to meet or work.

Love this place. Great atmosphere. Great coffee. And they actually have decent almond milk! :-D which is a rare find. Its a great industrial style vibe for hanging out, or taking your laptop there to do work/write. Definitely recommend!

Great coffee! Nice and big inside, great to chill in

This coffee is great but warning do not drink after 4pm this stuff will keep you awake the whole night lol.

We do love this place! Delicious chai, good food, yummy treats. Lots of vegan, gluten free options. My son loves the kids table and turkey sandwich. The owner and staff are wonderful, too

Nice ambience, good food. Tables a tad too close together for my taste -- sitting there talking with my sister next to a woman who set up shop with her computer was a bit odd. Felt like she was taking my deposition. She kept glancing at us, so Im pretty sure she was listening. Not that our conversation was all that interesting. Still, I know thats how it is in lots of places and Ill certainly go back.

Expensive, but delicious! Gluten free options. Try the tuna melt!

I really enjoy Romancing The Bean. The drinks and baked goods Ive had have always been wonderful. The food has been good and the ambience is great. I love meeting people here or grabbing a coffee while getting my toddler a treat. I love how they have a childrens table. Thats very nice and welcoming.They are somewhat pricey for what they are. I once paid over $10 for a sandwich that was literally eggs, cheese and a piece of lettuce. I thought it had prosciutto, but missed the additional line that said it was an extra $3. So that was a bummer and I dont get food-food here to often. Even the baked goods are each at least a dollar more than they should be... but theyre still good. The only other issue I run into here when meeting people is that its so popular that its often hard to find a place to sit... but thats not their fault!On the whole I really enjoy this place!

Wonderful atmosphere. Friendly staff. Iced mocha is one of the best weve had. Same for the dark roast. Both very smooth!

Best smoothies Ive ever had, hands down. I was taking phone pics of the menu so I can TRY to bootleg some of it, though Im sure Ill come up short in the preparation. The healthy smoothies didnt taste too healthy and the sweet, fruity smoothies arent too sugary and taste very authentic to their elements. The smoothie recipes themselves are each a minor stroke of genius, not your standard stuff. If you want smoothies elsewhere to taste ehhhh drop by here!

A wonderful cafe, great food items, the coffee and tea are delicious, service is excellent!

Lovely cinnamon and fig iced tea (hubs had lemonade) and a vegan double chocolate decadence cookie to share. Wait staff was helpful and friendly and vibe was casual. Nice place to stop when exploring the Magnolia Park vintage area.

You may not think it - But its also a great sandwich spot. Sure the coffee smells delicious too! A lively atmosphere and quick service on a Saturday afternoon when Portos is insanely busy. Just swing over here and enjoy a lunch without the headache of standing in line all afternoon. Plus - You might get lucky and nab one of the three outdoor, street side, tables.

Use this place for my business meetings and to get work done. Fun shmedium coffee cafe with some bakery options and all the coffee options. Finally a good java in town. Some people bring kids so it can get noisy so bring your headphones. I reccomend this location and hope everyone who reads this will check it out. Staff is always smiling and bubbly, ways a great experience. Thank you

Not bad, nice change from Starbucks etc. Good menu. Need a better extractor Fan as the smoke from the cooking was somewhat unpleasant. Also would be nice to have more than one unisex bathroom

Nice little place ... Extremely convenient to walk to if you live in the neighborhood... however, its difficult finding parking

This is a local coffee shop that attracts the local hipsters but has a nice variety of coffees teas and sandwiches. The mood is eclectic as is the personnel and customers. Its a good place to get a quick bite on the run as it is fresh and homemade versus something that they have pre-packaged. It is quite family-friendly and even has a small outdoor seating area overlooking beautiful Magnolia Boulevard

Best Caramel Latte Ive ever had! Flavor is just right. The chocolate croissant! Doesnt need an introduction just know that its so good!Such a cute coffee shop. The décor here is adorable. The staff was smiling and welcoming. The name of the place is adorable too! I know I will come back.

The place had a Cool vibe and ambience but the service was very poor. Perhaps, one must be part of the regular crowd, because I was sitting at a table for 15 minutes before I got to place an order, and even then it wasnt done very smoothly. Although I will say the sandwich wasnt that bad.I returned to this small yet very cozy and very plush coffee shop and was surprised to discover that my first impression was slightly off the mark. And I try to be the first to admit when Im wrong. On my second visit I was surprised to learn that the staff both male and female are very friendly and quite likeable. After observing them in action for a bit, I realized they were not being rude or just ignoring me on my first visit, they were simply very busy.Finally, it was also something else that I noticed, they give all their customers privacy and respect, and that often time is greatly appreciated.

Love this place. Especially the Brown sugar poptart!; They are a hot commodity. Dont take the last one! This place has a great vibe and is usually packed by mid morning. Its a great experience. One which my Fiance and I walk to every Saturday (and sometimes Sunday) morning.

This place is great. Much better tasting coffee., tried the scones. They are absolutely delicious. They also serve warm delicious breakfast. Friendly Baristas and great service. Family friendly place.

Good food. Getting a seat here is a real challenge. They let so many people stay on computers for hours that you cant find a seat. Not sure if they are interested in customers or providing free internet. Very Millennial place.

I am extremely limited to what Im allowed to eat because Im allergic to so many things. Im unable to go out to eat or drink anywhere without verifying what is available first. I found Romancing the beans because I was looking for a place that had good Organic Decaf coffee. I could only do Organic and I could only do Decaf. Last week they gave me Caffeine in error. I was very understanding because I know mistakes happen (even though I have a very bad reaction to the caffeine). I went back in and spoke to the Cashier at the time. I explained to her that Im not trying to be picky, but for medical reasons, its very critical that they only give me decaf. She apologized, but didnt share the information with anybody nor did she seem to care. Keep in mind, they already know my face because I go there all the time. Since I cant go anywhere else, I decided to keep going. Today, I went and ordered my usual. I was very specific as I always am about it having to be decaf. Since my last incident, I had decided to confirm with the person passing me the coffee if it was Decaf. Today, when I went to grab my coffee, the guy had quickly taken off to the kitchen. Unfortunately, I wasnt able to confirm. Turns out, they gave me caffeine, AGAIN. This is a small request to confirm what I am ordering. At this point, I have decided to never go back. Its too bad, because I like the coffee, but service is everything. They need to make sure they pay attention to detail.

Nice place to seat for a quick bite or a cup of coffee. BTW they are a kids friendly which is great.

I love this place do much. It’s super hipster and easy going. Their coffee is great and I love their quinoa bowl with eggs

Today was my first time visiting Romancing the Bean. I just moved to town and this was not a pleasant experience. When I first walked in, I asked the man at the register what his thoughts were on one of the juices that I was considering. He just answered with Well, I like it?. Then later pointed me to the watermelon and basil juice. As I was waiting for my juice, I was looking at the kitchen area and saw rotten tomatoes sitting out and tubs of hummus and other things that appeared not fresh. I was immediately concerned for my juice that I ordered (the watermelon and basil). When I got it, it was not only warm, but had zero taste! It was $8 and I could have pressed a warm watermelon into a glass and added a basil leaf. As soon as I left, I threw it away knowing I wasted not only my time, but my money. I will never ever go back. Very upsetting.

I went there for lunch with my coworkers and we all loved it. The ambiance is relaxed, the food delicious and healthy. I had the cold nicoise and it was better than the one serve at tender greens

Lovely little cafe/coffee shop in the heart of Magnolia. Vintage feel, organic dishes, friendly servers and patrons. If youre into dairy alternatives, they offer sit and almond, and will hopefully add hemp one day.

Its always lovely here. A comfortable social atmosphere and good wifi and a communal work table too.The food is top notch and parking is easy and free.A delight.

I got take out coffee from here & was very good just as it should be aka Australia. They did a flat white. 👍

A must stop for something sweet and an iced coffee (always add the coffee ice cubes). Cute interior with a genuine neighborhood vibe.

Delicious local coffee shop serving healthy and filling dishes and some really great smoothies

Great place to grab a cup of coffee. Good prices on the coffee. Really good food also, even if the food is a little pricy . Pet friendly as they have an outdoor area in the front of the shop. Really love the place.

This place is super chill. The apple juice is only $2 which is great, solid wifi and outdoor tables. Super nice guy behind the counter who has worked there a long time. Hes the man.

Nice place. Food is decent. They have a nice vibe. The front area doesn’t have a lot of electric port options. The WiFi is decent. Coffee works as well.

Yum! Delicious, simple food. Friendly staff and a lively atmosphere. Definitely worth going for breakfast of even just coffee.

Oh dear. I have to say— I used to love this place and I found myself coming back for nostalgic reasons and their almost croissant, which is most likely one of the best in The Valley. However, my last visits were just very upsetting, with yesterday’s experiencing ruining it for me: I had a worm in my salad. It was the brussels sprouts & kale with toasted almonds, and I already realized they didn’t wash the brussels sprouts when I bit on sand. Now that made me look a little closer and pay attention to what I had on my plate —just to, very much to my disbelief, find a small worm in my salad— still very alive and moving. I was disgusted and will just look for a different place to buy my almond croissants. Very saddening experience!

They have pretty good sandwiches and salads. Their coffee is okay. I like the assortment of different chairs but some of them are not very comfortable.Have a latte with love (heart sprinkle), have a Jims sandwich, chat with friends.

Kichy and fun. The coffee is okay, but the pastries, food, and atmosphere are wonderful. Hard to notice when driving by, and limited parking but well worth a visit to pass some time.

Nice coffee shop. Mainly a hipster crowd and food is a bit pricey and small portioned but tolerable. Very nice staff.

An absolutely beautiful place. Makes you actually want to spend time there. I had quite possibly the best Americano ever. Worth your time. Go there!

Great coffee and food choices. Nice ambience . Would give 5 starts for more power outlets

This place is awesome. The perfect lite and the coffee is A+! I highly recommend

This is my favorite neighborhood coffee shop. The atmosphere is warm and friendly and the drinks are delicious. I always feel better after having spent time there, but that may be the combination of caffeine and sugar ;).

A little pricey but youre paying for the quality. The food is ridiculously good. The blended mocha is a sweet treat and so are the homemade poptarts. Every time I come, Ill try something new and Im never dissapointed. The side salads are delicious and have flower petals!

Great drinks, wonderful people, lovely atmosphere. One of the best coffee places in Burbank for sure!!

Visiting here and from Santa Cruz, California. Great coffee and a wonderful choice of things to eat. My favorite is the three chandeliers that adorn this special place. Thumbs up!!!

My friends got their food fast. By the time my order got to the table...a caprese sandwich, easy...they were almost done. We ordered at the same time.

Loved this restaurant! I had the chicken salad sandwich with curry, it was delicious. Cannot wait to go back.

I ordered for a delivery and everything was perfect The cacao oatmeal was very good and plenty amount for two people.

Coffee up

Really good coffee, I usually put a little milk in mine, but this cup didnt even need it! There is tons of seating and a relaxing atmosphere. Lots of street parking in the surrounding area.

Avocado toast was especially less humdrum because of the edible flowers added to it...just wow and thank you I didnt know I needed that! My cantaloupe juice could have used more ginger.

I had a dirty chai latte, bf had a homemade lemonade. We shared the roasted seasonal vegetable sandwich (comes with a side salad). Everything was delicious

Great food, AMAZING coffee, and just the nicest staff!

Beautiful place. Great coffee and nibbles.

This place loves to charge more for their coffee and food. The price written on the board is much less than what they really charge. I was overcharged for adding ham to my small overprice burrito and when I brought it up to their attention. They said that it is not the price that they advertise but a more expensive price. The reason why they dont change it on the wall is because it is too high up to change it and nobody is willing to do it. The food is ok but the attitude of the employees and the prices stink big time.

Delicious breakfast and the best coffee. A great place to meet for lunch as well ... lovely decor!

Great coffee. Comfortable seating. Nice atmosphere. Fair prices.

Nice staff, pretty fast, usually a place to sit! Honestly the sweetness of the drink varies, I usually go for a black and white mocha or vanilla latte and im almost always satisfied!

Cool place!!! Friendly staff and good food! I specially enjoyed the huckleberry donut.
