Owned and operated by Shannon and Chase Maddox, this will be the second location for the Maddox family, who opened The Human Bean in Marianna, Florida in April of 2024.
Shannon & Chase Maddox say their team looks forward to serving beverages with a chocolate-covered espresso bean on top.
“The bean on top is a little thank you for driving through, because The Human Bean believes in making even the smallest of exchanges memorable, kind, and sincere,” says Maddox. “The company really operates as a family, and we’re happy to take care of our own ‘human beans’ here in Callaway.”
At The Human Bean, the "bean on top" refers to a chocolate-covered espresso bean placed on each drink.
The coffee drive-thru’s single-sided building includes digital menu boards. The menu features a range of beverages and limited-time items throughout the year.
Founded in 1998 in southern Oregon, The Human Bean has expanded to locations across the U.S. Drive-thrus are primarily owned and operated by individual franchise partners.
“We have amazing franchise partners, and almost without exception each one of them is growing in their communities and doing great things for their neighbors,” says Dan Hawkins, co-founder and CEO of The Human Bean. “Chase and the team in Callaway are committed to turning the drive-thru experience into the best part of someone’s day.”
Customers will find opportunities to participate in fundraising events at the new location, including the brand-wide Coffee for a Cure day in October, which supports cancer prevention and treatment.
Hours are 5:30 am to 8:00 pm daily. On opening day, Friday, October 10, a discount on drinks will be available.
