The Sea Bean

Seward’s Sea Bean is a cute little breakfast/lunch/ brunch place with fun lattes and tasty food! I got a healthy smoothie bowl with fruit and also the oatmeal. I was delighted by how good the food was and the flavors as well! I will let you in on a secret I learned- they sell their “day old” pastries- which were fresh and tasted normal to me- at $2/ pastries. It was the best hiking snack ever! They are wrapped up and the Nutella croissant was huge and filled to the brim! It was the best thing ever!!! Anyway, highly recommend!!! 10/10 would go back!

My husband and I paid $48 plus $5 tip for a panini and a Buddha bowl, along with two americanos. The coffee was cold. The Buddha bowl had a hug scoop of white rice, three chunks of sweet potato, 3 thin slices of avocado and about 15 spinach leaves. The lime sauce was left off snd so we asked for that. I was provided about a tablespoon of dressing. No silverware was provided. We had to get our own coffee and silverware from the counter. We could overhear other customers talking about their coffee being cold. Really dissatisfied and disappointed with the service and quality of the food. The cheese on my husbands bacon panini was cold and it wasn’t bacon slices it was more like ground bacon plopped in the center of the bread.

This was a wonderful little place tucked away in Seward that my fiance and I enjoyed recently. The staff are friendly and helpful, and are willing to go out of their way to be accommodating for customers. However, with delicious popularity inevitably comes with long wait times, but yes it is worth the wait. The food was slightly wanting salt, but did not lack flavor. The coffee and ice chai we ordered were both excellent; the coffee was strong and rich without being acidic and the chai was flavorful without having the watery quality of a poorly made drink. They also have a unique variety of loose leaf tea selections that look delicious and I look forward to trying in the future. There is ample parking around the cafe and it is located only a brief walk from the Sea Life Center while still being right in the heart of the shops, bar, and restaurant area. Definitely the best place to get breakfast in Seward, you would be remiss to not take av quick moment to stop by and get a drink, either alcoholic or non-alcoholic.

We went and ordered a smoothie and 2 lunch items. They do not have a ticket system and just announce food items that are made. After waiting FOR 40 MINUTES One of our orders was given to a lady that came after us. When we told them that they started making a new one for us. Then we told them we were waiting on a bagel to which they argued we’d never ordered and didn’t bother to pull up our ticket. Then went on to tell us they didn’t have to ingredients left to make the meal we ordered. We asked for a refund which they said they would give us. Then we went on our way and got lunch somewhere else. Well it’s been over a week now and we have not received a refund, they will not answer their phone, our emails, or messages on Facebook. I wouldn’t suggest going here. Rude unprofessional and just highly unorganized.
