Oregon-based drive-thru coffee franchise The Human Bean is finally opening its first Georgia location. The drive-thru coffee shop, at 1609 Buford Highway in Cumming, is slated to open on July 15th.
The company, which got its start in Ashland, Oregon, in 1998 and franchised in 2002, is expected to open more Atlanta area drive-thru coffeehouses in the future. It currently has over 200 locations throughout the US.
The Human Bean’s first Georgia drive-thru will serve up classic coffee and espresso drinks, like small-batch cold brew coffee, americanos, cappuccinos, and lattes, as well as specialty drinks, including a Granita (frozen espresso), a green tea smoothie, and a Mexi Mocha (espresso and steamed milk with Mexican chocolate powder).
We understand that there’s a certain, shall we say, je ne sais quoi to any European city’s sidewalk cafes and coffee shops, but there is just something so uniquely American about a drive-thru. We’re hoping The Human Bean will combine the two, making us feel a little more like unbothered Parisians while sipping cappuccinos in highway traffic.
[Correction: a previous version of this article stated The Human Bean address as 1605 Buford Highway, Cumming, GA 30041. The correct address is 1609 Buford Highway, Cumming, GA 30041.]
