Lean Bean serves up a fat cup of coffee

We spent the weekend in Coeur d'Alene, which gave me a chance to check out new coffee spots Saturday morning. And I was happy to find Lean Bean, a drive-through set on Sherman Ave. Even better, I was happy to find that Lean Bean served eminently drinkable coffee. And that either Vanessa, Zoey or Lizzy was happy to serve me my way - which entailed two shots and double-cupped. I will go back.
