Lots happening at the Maker Bean!

Awesome personalized touches throughout our wedding!
They added one of a kind elements to our wedding such as designing a unique alternative to the traditional guestbook and whimsical table numbers to tie back to our venue. We were also really happy to have the Maker Bean on-site at our reception lasering custom coasters and luggage tags for our guests. It was very entertaining for our family and friends to see the laser machine create their favours live - they still talk about it!

I seriously can't wait to come back to the Maker Bean Cafe!
I took one of their intro to laser cutting classes and it greatly exceeded my expectations. The class was super accessible to all levels of experience and was BEYOND fun. We loved designing our own coasters and it was incredible to watch them print!

Maker Bean is an awesome place for everyone!
Our child has done many camps here so we decided to host a group of friends and our Minecraft party was so much fun! The staff were really focused on making sure all kids were engaged and having fun the space was set up in a way that made sure everyone was safe as well. Maker Bean is a gem of a place, you should go there!
