This place is the secret coffee diamond of Brookings! The atmosphere is unique and the decorations inside work together with their special roasts to set them apart from the more standard, generic places in town. The location is slightly hidden on Main Street but once you go once, you ll find yourself there all the time! (And they have a student discount for in-house coffee orders). The owner is extremely friendly and told me that he started roasting coffee in his garage years ago so he is clearly passionate about what he does. I love Kool Beans.
