Locally owned and operated cafe/coffee shop. Freshly prepared food and amazing coffee drinks are our specialties. We buy premium coffee beans and roast small batches in-house. The result is a smooth cup of coffee full of rich flavor and unique nuances. Pair that with a Southwest Omelet or Blueberry Lemon Pancakes and your morning just got a whole lot better! Established in 2011. Hello! Allow us to introduce ourselves; we are Jay and Lisa Jones. We’ve been together for most of our lives and we’ve called Waterloo ‘home’ for the past 30 years. We raised our four children here and consider ourselves blessed beyond words that they are now raising our 12 grand babies all within a ten minute radius of us. In 2011 we opened Bean Tree Cafe in a 170 year old building in downtown Waterloo. We invite you to come visit us for breakfast, brunch, lunch, or maybe just a cup of some really delicious coffee!
