“Beans” is an award-winning coffee house which has taken up residence in a century old historic church building. Its couches and easy chairs create a cozy “Third Place” illuminated by stained glass windows, where you can chat for hours, read the paper, or enjoy live music . Our coffee and espresso drinks are made with organic fair trade coffee beans roasted locally. We bake on location with fresh herbs, veggies and berries from our kitchen garden. A lunch of quiche, baguette and salad or a panini dinner tastes best with local Frederick beer, wine from the Frederick County vineyards and the hillside of Sugar Loaf Mountain. Our heavenly desserts taste even more decadent when paired with artisan mead crafted by folks just down the road. We use fresh local ingredients whenever possible for tasty and nutritious dishes and refreshing drinks.
