Bean Haus Bakery and Cafe in MainStrasse, Covington

At Bean Haus Bakery & Cafe, some come for strong coffee and mason jars full of loose-leaf teas to pair with a decadent pie or pastry. Others come into the brick-walled oasis for savory fare such as salads, subs on house-baked bread, and enchilada quiches. Still others visit for the Wild Onion, which refers not to a prodigiously sized root vegetable, but to a twice-monthly open-mic event. Poets, comics, and musicians grace the stage to share moving phrases with fellow wordsmiths. Whatever brings you, each excursion to the Bean Haus is a cozy, friendly celebration of a welcoming community and sumptuous food.
