Tillie's Bean in Minneapolis, Hennepin County, United States | Coffee Shop

Welcome to Tillie's Bean, Minnepolis, Minnesota, United States. Tillie's Bean will soon celebrate its third anniversary in business. This anniversary is an especially exciting time as Tillie's Bean, Minneapolis, Minnesota has just reopened its doors after being closed for a month. Financial restructuring became necessary after a summer of unexpected and costly expenses: a break-in that damaged a custom glass door, a cash register and computer system; graffiti done with a glass-etching solution which permanetly damaged the glass windows. Added to the revenue loss caused by the previous two years of road construction plus an armed robbery, Tillie's Bean was looking at some cold, hard figures in the ledger book. Maggie Turner, who manages the dailey operations of the business she co-owns with husband Dave, describes the situation.
Tillie's Bean "Misson Statement" "Every business needs a mission statement so that every person involved understands exactly what they are expected to accomplish. Our mission statement is short and sweet and easy to understand: "To have a unique, non-intimidating Coffee Shop with great service, drinks and food."
With that philosophy it is no surprise that Tillie's Bean has twice won the prestigious "Golden Cup Award", given by the Specialty Coffee Association of America based in California. This highly selective process involves both taste-testing and laboratory tests which determine a vast array of factors that affect the taste of coffee, including such things as the purity of water and ratio of coffee particules to water. Tillie's Bean, Minneapolis, Minnesota also won "Best Regular Roast Coffee" at the 17th Annual Calhoun Square Coffee Festival in the only time they competed.
