Passing through Altoona and stopped here because it was close to our air BNB. Wife's scone was good but average. My bacon, egg and cheese on croissant was the best tasting sandwich I've had!

Coffee flavors are out-of-this-world AMAZING!!! This is a super cute coffee shop, a little smaller inside but it doesnt matter to me being that i dont really stay and drink a whole lot. I'm more of a drive thru person but wanted to give a review!! They have merchandise, a cooler for chilled foods and I really wanted to try their gobs but they were out....next time!! Super nice, smiling employees and it was very clean!! I havent tried any foods here but plan to soon! 😍 LOVE THE DINOSAUR OUT FRONT!!

For some reason this place was easy for me to pass by. But one day, somewhat crunched for time and needing something to eat, I simply couldn't ignore them as I passed by. So I went in looked around and placed an order. I noticed that they had a nice selection of baked goods and a very interesting selection of coffee. I ordered 2 slices of pizza with black olives. After getting in my car, and eating the pizza as I drove, I instantly noticed that the dough was very good. Honestly it was probably the best that I have tasted thus far. This is when I realized that they actually put a worthwhile effort in to make their food top tier. Thus Hard Bean is not just cranking out pizza to rake in cash. They are producing a quality, if not superior, product. So I'm confident that this is true across all of their offerings. Be it coffee, baked goods, or lunch items…… The Hard Bean doesn't take the easy way out.

Quite possibly the best cup of coffee I've had in my life! The barista at the counter was friendly and service was prompt. Prices were reasonable. Atmosphere was fun and laid-back, with some beachy decor, and a velociraptor statue outside by the patio. If you're ever passing by this place, do yourself a favor and check it out. You won't be disappointed.

I have been to Hard Bean a few times and every time I have enjoyed my coffee and received friendly service. The coffee here is super delicious! I am a fan of sweet coffees but you can ask them to dial up or down the flavors. I really enjoy their seasonal coffee menu. The Hogwarts latte is one of my favorites on the signature drinks though. I have had the avocado grilled cheese and it was surprisingly really good! The desserts can be a hit or miss. The pizza from dough daddy was pretty good! Sometimes it can be busy but it's always worth the wait.
