Let’s give our energy drinks a little love, because we definitely don’t talk about them enough! ⚡️

If you’re in the mood for something fruity and refreshing with a little boost, our energy infusions are for you. We make them with Tiki Breeze, a line of energy concentrates made with natural caffeine from Arabica coffee beans.

Pictured here is our Piña Colada Energy Infusion 🍍🥥 A little tropical getaway in a cup, even when the Iowa weather has other plans.

Have you tried one of our energy drinks? Let us know your favorite flavor! 🫶

Sometimes the slow mornings are the best mornings. ☕️

The shop is still quiet, the espresso machine is warming up, and there’s a little time to settle in before the day gets going.

Whether you’re stopping in for a coffee on your way to work or finding a cozy spot to sit for a while, we hope The Savvy Bean can be a little peaceful part of your morning. 🤎

A little reminder that Mommy & Me is every Thursday from 10 AM–12 PM! ☕️🤎

Whether you’re bringing your brand-new baby, a busy toddler, kiddos somewhere in between, or even simply expecting, we’d love to see you! All ages are welcome. 🥰

Come grab a coffee, settle in, and spend some time chatting with other moms. And if it’s your first time and you’re feeling a little shy, just let us know—we’d be happy to introduce you to the group!

We can’t wait to see you and your little ones! 🫶

The numbers are in, and we officially have a fall menu favorite… 🥁

The S’mores Latte is our top seller of the season! 🍫☕️

With marshmallow, cookie butter, and mocha, all topped with marshmallow cold foam, mocha drizzle, and a toasted marshmallow, we can’t say we’re surprised you’ve been loving this one. 🤎

November is just around the corner, and we’ve got a new menu in the works 👀 So if the S’mores Latte has been your favorite too, make sure to stop in and enjoy it while you can!

Saturdays & Sundays have been a little chaotic around here lately, and we have you to thank for that. 🤎

Seeing so many of you spend part of your weekend with us means so much. We’re getting into a rhythm with more staff behind the counter to help get your favorites into your hands a little faster!

Thanks for your patience while we find our groove, and for keeping our little shop so busy. We’re tired, thankful, & probably making another pot of coffee. ☕

The apple orchard stop of your coffee order 🍎🍂

Our Apple Crisp Oatmilk Macchiato brings together apple, cinnamon, nutmeg & cardamom with creamy oatmilk and espresso. A little sweet, a little spiced, and a very good reason to take the scenic route to The Savvy Bean. 🤎

🤎 MOMS, THIS ONE’S FOR YOU! 🤎

Just a little reminder that Mommy & Me is now EVERY THURSDAY from 10AM–12PM! ☕️🫶🏼

We had such a great turnout last week, and we’d love to keep growing this little community of moms! Whether you’re looking for a reason to get out of the house, a chance to enjoy your coffee while your little plays, or just some adult conversation with people who get it… we’d love to have you.

And if you’re nervous about showing up and not knowing anyone, please don’t be! We’re always happy to introduce you around. Some really sweet friendships have already started here, and there’s always room for more. 🤍

So pack up the diaper bag, grab your little(s), and come hang out with us this Thursday from 10–12! We’ll save you a seat. ☕️✨

☕ BARISTA SPOTLIGHT: Autumn 🍂

Meet Autumn! Between studying visual mass media, competing in track, and finding her next craft project, she’s here making your coffee & probably complimenting your outfit. 🤎

• 🎨 Off the clock: Crafting & doing her own nails. Her fall set deserves its own spotlight. Ask to see it next time you’re in!

• ☕ Favorite drink to make: Iced S’mores Latte.

• 🍎 Go-to order: Iced Apple Crisp Macchiato. Very on-brand for someone named Autumn.

• 💬 Barista superpower: Complimenting & chatting with customers… possibly for a little too long.

• 🫧 Barista toxic trait: Would love for the dishes to wash themselves.

• 🤎 Why she loves coffee: “So many options. So yummy.” Honestly, she makes a strong point.

• 🎶 Always on her playlist: “I’m Not in Love” by 10cc.

Say hi to Autumn next time you stop in, just know you might leave with a coffee, a compliment, & a whole conversation. 🍂
