Coffee and smiles served at The Human Bean

A unique franchise that only has drive thru franchise systems in place. What makes them better is that unlike nearly all other franchises, they do not charge royalty fees. They earn revenues from bulk sales of coffee and other supplies ordered from our franchised locations.

The Human Bean started their first drive-through espresso shop in Ashland, Oregon, in 1998. It was driven by a desire to make people happy and their love of coffee. After opening their first shop in Ashland, we quickly expanded to neighboring cities in Southern Oregon due to the increasing demand for convenient, high-quality coffee & espresso. The Human Bean soon gained a reputation for having warm, knowledgeable baristas and serving ingredients of the finest caliber.

The Human Bean was established with the goal of creating Southern Oregon’s best coffee drive-thru. The brand and system were franchised in 2002 as a result of early success. Over 300 outlets of the Human Bean chain are currently operational or in the planning stages throughout 25 states.

They see huge potential and growth for the brand in the coming years. Moving forward, the brand will stay true to the successful operations on which The Human Bean was founded. With exceptional products, attractive and efficient facilities and an exceptionally trained and qualified team, they have the tools needed to be the consumers’ brand of choice.
