I disagree with the review below concerning the espresso. By far, One Mean Bean has the BEST espresso in the city--and I've tried them all. Spot on about the atmosphere. The customer service is amazing. It always irks me when someone complains about the flavor in the drink or the temperature, if it is too hot, let them know or too much ...

One Mean Bean has a great atomosphere besides that they could use more seating. But... the espresso is horrible. 1. The espresso was ground to much that it makes it bitter and sour 2. Lattes are to be hot but not hot that it burns your tongue! 3. Way to much chocolate in my mocha. Like I said the place is warm and cozy but I don't see me going back unless I am not even in the mood for espresso.

I am not sure of the exact name on the menu since I visited once with a friend an I am not a Dubuque resident. It is a cold espresso drink like a frappaccino and they added caramel to mine and it was amazing! I have had cold coffee drinks like this from starbucks, panera bread, caribou coffee and others and by far this drink rocked my world! ...
