How to Pay With Apple Pay at The Coffee Bean
Using Apple Pay at The Coffee Bean to buy your favorite coffee drink, bakery item or Coffee Bean merch is easy:
-
When checking out, let the cashier know you’d like to pay with Apple Pay.
-
Hold your iPhone near the contactless reader beside the traditional card reader.

Other Mobile Payments Accepted
In addition to Apple Pay, The Coffee Bean also accepts:
-
Google Pay – The Android version works much like Apple Pay, requiring you to hold your phone near the scanner.
-
Samsung Pay – Works similarly to other mobile wallets to check out fast.
-
The Coffee Bean App – Download the app, link payment and scan your phone to pay!
-
Contactless Cards – Debit/credit cards with contactless symbols can also be tapped to pay.
So whatever smartphone, mobile wallet or contactless card you use, you’ll have a speedy checkout experience at The Coffee Bean. No more fumbling for cash!
Mobile Ordering and Payment
The Coffee Bean mobile app allows you to order ahead and pay on your phone too.
You can customize your drink order, select a pickup time, enter any promo codes or rewards, and pay with a linked card. Then just grab your coffee when you arrive!
Mobile ordering helps you avoid lines during rush hour. It’s also great when you need a caffeine fix but are crunched for time.
Security of Mobile Payments
Some customers have concerns about the security of mobile payments. But Apple Pay and other services use advanced encryption and one-time codes to keep your information safe.
Here are some key security benefits:
-
Your actual card details aren’t shared. Instead, a unique token is created for each transaction.
-
Your phone must be authenticated via biometrics or PIN before any payment is processed.
-
If your iPhone is lost or stolen, you can use Find My on iCloud to suspend or remove the ability to pay using that device.
So you can feel totally at ease using Apple Pay or Google Pay to purchase your cold brews and cinnamon rolls at The Coffee Bean!
Loyalty Programs and Offers
The Coffee Bean Rewards program is available right in the Coffee Bean app. You can accumulate points, redeem rewards, and take advantage of special offers.
Make sure to add your Coffee Bean Rewards account to the app before checkout. All your earned rewards and bonuses will automatically apply when you pay using your mobile wallet.
Using mobile pay makes it easier than ever to maximize the perks of being a loyal Coffee Bean customer.
Tipping Your Barista
One thing to keep in mind is that mobile pay does not have an option to add a tip for your barista.
Be sure to carry some cash if you want to leave them a little extra for excellent service. They’ll really appreciate it!
You can also tip at the kiosk in-store if you prefer a cashless method. But most mobile transactions don’t accommodate tipping.
Where To Find Apple Pay
Any company-owned Coffee Bean location will accept Apple Pay and other contactless payments. Just look for the Apple Pay, Google Pay or contactless symbols at checkout.
Some licensed Coffee Bean stores located inside colleges, airports, hotels or supermarkets may not offer mobile pay. But most participating standalone or mall-based stores do.
You can also use Apple Pay for Coffee Bean gift cards when ordering online through the website or mobile app.
So next time you need a caffeine jolt, grab your iPhone and pay with Apple Pay for the ultimate in convenience. It makes buying coffee a breeze!
