The place was decorated with Valentine’s décor surrounded with heart balloons around the windows. There was also a background drop with balloons that include sweetheart words written on them.

Coffee Bean opened about a year ago in March 2023. Manager Jacky Ledford the host of the event, credited the main inspiration behind the event with the help of her coworkers.
When asked what interest brought Ledford to make this event for the ladies. Ledford stated, “Getting the ladies involved and seeing them dress up in their pretty outfits and stand out.” Their inspiration undoubtedly came to life. She continued by saying, “We would like everyone to come try it out, it’s fresh & local even if it’s far worth the drive & getting more people out to come.”
Many workers were there, including Angeline Hernandez, who spoke about the most popular item “the cheese Danish.” Hernandez’s input on how it’s like working at Coffee Bean was “it’s chill” and her favorite baked item & drink is the “Matcha ice latte & strawberry cake pop.”
