Last week The Bean Counter was featured on a nationally aired television show called Blue Ribbon. The local business was named one of the best coffee houses in the south. This special feature highlighted the coffeehouse and provided viewers with a glipse of the Cleveland area. Store owner, Laura Lindner, says "it was an honor to be chosen as one of the best coffee houses in the south." The Bean Counter is located near downtown Cleveland...where great ideas, great discussions and great relationships brew over great coffee.
