Bean Barnacle - Lauderdale-by-the-Sea

This is basically a Starbucks in the lobby of the Plunge Beach Resort Hotel. Nothing exciting, unless you're really a Starbucks fan. They do offer mini bottles of Bailey's or Kahlua that you can add to you to your coffee for $5.

Waited over 10 minutes to place order. The couple ahead of me got iced stuff and food. Took the one poor girl working there forever to serve it. Not her fault. Needed another set of hands. I ordered flat white. The machine is a 3-group La Marzocco, I believe, a real beauty. While the girl started the shot, she set the milk to steam. And steam. And steam. Dumped it all in a paper cup (no ceramic cups here). It was hot enough to melt lead. I waited for a few minutes then tried it. My tongue is still burned, 8 hours later. I won't complain about the starbucks...I'm from Seattle and no one at home buys that junk. But a flat white is not what you serve. Instead of an intense ristretto shot with a small amount of steamed milk, I got a milky latte. Won't be back.

Good for coffee, espresso, price are better then italian bakery. Check the times not open all day.

Walked down here to get breakfast. Turns out it is just a small Starbucks in the basement of a hotel. Left and went to Dunkin’ Donuts if that says anything.

Went here the first morning of my stay and everything was fine, got a good breakfast sandwich at a reasonable price. Two mornings later I told the wife and kids let's just get something from the Bean and Barnacle so we can get out to the water. When we got there and asked for the breakfast sandwich the lady working said we do not have breakfast sandwiches. I told her I got one two mornings ago and it's on your menu she just stared at me. then told me you can go next door if you want breakfast. I could understand if they were out of ingredients or something was broke but no explanation I think she just didn't wanna make the sandwiches. We were also only going to order two sandwiches.
