Classic Bean

A group of us got together here for lunch and to visit and catch-up. We used the private room, which was nice, but do be aware there's a $25 charge for that. It's worth it if you have a large group and you all want to sit together and be able to talk with some privacy. The food was very good, I think everyone was happy with what they got.

I only frequent this location on weekend evenings. It's rarely ever crowded and a reliable spot for great people watching and live music. They always have a nice rotation of local artists. It's a cozy indoor spot to choose when it's raining or chilly outside. A winter favorite. They have a staple wine list and are always rotating fun cocktails and of course coffee if you're a fan of insomnia. They also serve great food and pastries. A local Topeka staple that is consistent. A definite step up from the hustle and bustle of the Wanamaker corridor and above average service compared to similar businesses. It's worth it to add to your night out!

Not very crowded at 8:30 on a Thursday morning. Order at the counter and they'll bring your food to you, using a stuffed animal as your "table tent". The breakfast sandwich was delicious! I had egg, bacon and swiss on a croissant. The croissant was light and buttery. Paired with a great dark-roast coffee, it was a wonderful breakfast.

Warm, friendly individual service at the counter. I bought a $20 gift card for a gift exchange so a small local business can get more business and maybe a new customer. I also bought my own medium hot chocolate, it was great and I drank it from a substantial coffee cup. I love the nice cup experience even though I'm not a coffee drinker. A nice, comfortable yet intimate coffee house.
