Located in a snug little cream-colored house on U.S. Highway 278 is Edwin Bean Coffee Bar, one of the newest additions to the county's collection of coffee houses. Edwin "Dale" Thompson, who owns the business with his wife Margie, says they were trying to recreate the feel of the enormously popular coffee bars of America's Northwest where coffeemakers have turned the consumption of java into an art form and a lifestyle. Edwin Bean features three sitting rooms with plenty of tables and comfortable chairs, a large conference room which can be reserved, outdoor seating and free Wi-Fi.
