My favorite part of owning a restaurant is that it feels like my 2nd home. We get to meet our missed and loved ones to partake in food, memories and laughter. We are currently celebrating our 10 years of business- it’s kind of a big deal. Cheers, dear family and friends!! If you ever need a friend to talk to, I will make every effort to stop and hear you. ❤️ I love you all! 💋 Always, Arlene.

This is just NUTS! Great reminder to simply put love in our hearts. Don’t go shooting anyone over enchiladas. 😳 Have a wonderful and blessed Sunday! 🌶️ Arlene

Water cups. A big controversy for me. As many of us out there, own small businesses and we allow our patrons to use “water cups” to fill up on water and ice, free of charge. However, for many years now, people have taken advantage of our “soda” fountain and will pour soda inside their water cups. Soda costs are up, Co2, plastic cups, maintenance on our machines, etc. Please give me some advice, I don’t want to start charging the .10 per water, it’s not in my nature to do that. But the theft has gotten out of control. People have even taken their own water bottles to fill up on soda!! We don’t have room to move our fountain behind the bar. Thank you for listening!! 💗Arlene

Hello lovely friends and families! I’d love to introduce you to our bonus daughter, London!! You will see her here at the Bean from time to time. She is studying to be an EMT. Isaiah our Marine, is now a Paramedic! They got married on Friday, February 13th. Isaiah is pursuing his career as a MD. With the loss of our precious niece, Melody, it sort of consumed us and now just posting some more positive news. London is a blessing to us!! She is a big sister and positive figure to our little ones still at home. Please help us by welcoming them back to Colorado! We love you! We are so proud of you!! 💋❤️ Mom and Dad.
