The Human Bean

you're on midway road in carrollton, somewhere between the sprawl of the tollway and the quiet stretch of office parks that defines this part of dallas's northern suburbs. it's not a neighborhood that announces itself, which makes finding a coffee shop worth stopping for feel like something you actually earned. the human bean sits in a suite off the main road, and the regulars in this part of carrollton clearly know it's there. locally, the reputation holds up. you're not going to get a watered-down approximation of specialty coffee here, not something that coasts on proximity to a busy road. the coffee is taken seriously. if you're working through the afternoon in this part of town, a well-made latte on midway is a reasonable reason to stay.
