The Baked Bean - Coffee Shop & Dispensary

"Chai tea with vanilla was amazing! My boys loved their blue raspberry lemonades and fruity pebbles krispie! Had an awesome selection of CBD products and adorable mugs for gifts even! Hours are great and I will be back!"

"The huge $13 chocolate chip premium infused cookies were 80% raw. I'm 98% sure they gave me food poisoning. And, sadly, we purchased 2 of them. They look Huge & great on the outside, but when you make Huge cookies, they require longer baking time!! We had their drinks in the past, and those were great!"

"I've stopped in to get dosed drinks many times and I've always had a great experience. I do wish they had cool seasonal events but they have been doing fun discounts often. Like dosed hot chocolate in winter or apple cider in fall that kind of stuff would be super! Overall I think they are an amazing business. Def worth trying drinks with or without it being dosed."

"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."
