The Baked Bean - Coffee Shop & Dispensary

The Staff is exceptionally educated in all their hemp & mushroom products and super helpful in creating drinks with twist and additives that are extra yummo! If you’re looking for hempful solutions this is your place! The family friendly environment is also a huge bonus. Stop on in, and visit the lovely staff and enjoy one of the best cups of coffee Rensselaer has to offer.

Cool little café! I don't know much about thc, hemp, or micro dosing, but the drinks and coke were great and staff was super friendly!!

I don't live in the area. Decided to stop by to stretch my legs. Very clean, chill environment, didn't have any problem with my 8 month old. The iced mocha coffee was very good!

Nice little shop. Good coffee Good breakfast sandwiches lots of edible options such as cookies, brownies and lots of candy that you can see the cannabis content. You can also add cbd to your drinks. They also carry cbd for vapes. They also sell some vape equipment. Very friendly employees. If your in the neighborhood you should give them a try I think you will like it too.

To be honest, I found myself a bit shocked to find a shop like this in good old Rensselaer, but I suppose it goes to show how long it's been since I've been in town. I stopped in on a whim after work, and found myself surprised not only at the large amounts of Delta and CBD products they had, but the ingenuity as well. For instance, The Baked Bean combines their hemp additives with fresh ground coffee to give people an "Infused K-Cup" option, which I think is a legitimately great product for people. There's a variety of difference "balances" in the K-Cups, with Delta, CBD, or other mixes and amounts to give people the right amount of kick to start (and survive) the day. I've attached a picture of the display here if you're interested in more, but if you find your bones are particularly achy in the morning this might be just what you need. There's plenty of other options and items as well, depending on what you're looking for. For the purposes of my stop though, I had my heart set on the Green Crack. I had initially intended to grab a coffee, but the Green Crack is your traditional green Monster energy Drink, mixed with a green apple lemonade to turn that energy drink into a refreshing summer sipper. You can also get all the drinks infused with differing amounts of CBD, Delta, and the like. I opted for a simple 10 of CBD because, well, when in Rome! The drink itself was delicious, the tart flavor of the Monster pairing easily with the lemonade's refreshing elements to kickstart my engine, and then the light CBD gave me a comfortable aura to the rest of my workday. Again, I was surprised to find this option right on the square in Rensselaer, but I'm glad this is here. I can see a business like this doing a lot of genuine good for folks local, and I'm excited to see it thrive.

I love this place so much! Only complaint is it's not closer to me, but I make the 45 minute drive quite often. It's worth it. This place is unique and personable. I love the cool specials they have every month. Huge sizes.

Stopped into The Baked Bean today to grab lunch and a coffee! I’ve been hearing a lot about this new cafe downtown, and I was really excited to try it out. The place is really clean and spacious, and the staff were welcoming and knowledgeable about their products. While I did not go in for the edible hemp products, I did appreciate that they cater to both those interested and not interested in hemp use! They had a HUGE variety of offerings which was really cool to see — including dog treats and cbd lotion (which I can’t wait to try!). I got the caprese panini, and it was delicious! My bf got the pizza panini, and he said it was great too. The bread had Parmesan cheese on it which gave it a great flavor. As a vegetarian, I love that there were several meatless options on the menu. I also had a caramel iced coffee and an espresso — so good! I also had to try some of their baked goods too, and got a rainbow cereal treat and my bf got a blueberry muffin. The muffin was so moist and fresh and the crumble on top was a nice touch. The rainbow cereal treat was huge and SO good — I got a second one to take home! I don’t normally leave reviews, but I was very impressed by this new business and how unique it is. If you’re visiting the area or live in town, definitely stop in or you will be missing out! It’s a great addition to downtown, and I can’t wait to check out their breakfast!
