The Wild Bean

I work in this town for two weeks every year, and every year I have only a couple of days of during that time, and those are the only days I get to come here, because they close at 6pm every day but Sunday (when they close at 5). ARRRRGGGGHHH. How is there a med school in this town, a thriving tourism culture, the freaking PGA tour, and a designation as "one of the top ten coolest small towns in America 2012 or 2011 or sometime" (mind you - I think they're running out of towns to name), and the only cafe in town closes hours before nightfall? And every shop on the main drag closes by 6? Great for geriatric types but frustrating for the rest of us. Plus, their iced Americano is meh and stale tasting, and you can only get internet for an HOUR with a $3 purchase - also maddening and something that died out everywhere else five years ago. On the other hand, it's cool inside when it's hot outside, the atmosphere is pleasant, and the employees are helpful and friendly. At least there's an Irish pub next door.

Went there for breakfast while passing through Lewisburg. At first we thought they only had lunch options, but the breakfast offerings are on a separate menu by the register. Not a ton of options on the menu, but everything looked pretty tasty. We both got scrambled eggs with cheese/vegetables and toast. Simple but delicious. One free refill on coffee when you eat in. Huge magazine selection to read while you wait.

Loved the coffee though I didn't see that they had a brew called WV Coal until after I ordered. That sounded even better. They staff is great. We stopped here after doing a bike ride on the Greenbrier River Rail-to-Trail and it really hit the spot. Love the town.
