This fall, there will be a new coffeehouse chain ready to serve McAllen.

Known for its reputation for “cheerful baristas and sustainably-sourced coffee,” The Human Bean will open its second location in the Valley at 1124 E. Nolana Ave.

The official date isn’t specified yet, but the release states it’ll open this fall.

The first Human Bean location in the Valley is located in Brownsville at 447 E. Alton Gloor Blvd.

Alberto and Olivia Vazquez, the local owners of the new location, say the staff looks forward to providing above-par products and exceptional customer service, all with a signature chocolate-covered espresso bean on top, according to the release.

“We’ve got an excited team who have been training and preparing for this grand opening,” the release stated.

Over the last 24 years, the Human Bean coffee company has grown from a single location in Oregon to a nationwide brand, the release stated.

“Our mission is to inspire authentic human connections with every cup. This new drive-thru opening is another opportunity to do just that — spread kindness and foster connections in the communities where The Human Bean is served,” Dan Hawkins, CEO of The Human Bean Franchise, said in the release.

Additionally, the coffee franchise will be holding fundraisers throughout the year, with Coffee for a Cure day in October. Money raised by the McAllen drive-thru location will stay in the community and be donated to a local organization of the staff’s choosing, the release stated.
