DeBeen Espresso



Located at 709 West Lexington Avenue in High Point, DeBeen Espresso offers coffee drinks, smoothies, baked goods, and gelato seven days a week. Beans and merchandise/mugs are available for purchase, there is outdoor seating, and DeBeen offers a loyalty program.

A long-runner in High Point’s coffee scene, DeBeen has something for everyone. The truly impressive selection includes the caffeinated and non-caffeinated alike, ranging from a simple cup to a nitro cold brew to any number of specialty drinks. I’m partial to the banana bread latte, but there are plenty of promising permutations. While I cannot speak to the baked goods, the coffee usually lives up to its promise.

That said, while some find the interior, laden with artwork and merch, to be endearingly quirky, it can also be a bit visually overwhelming, and pre-COVID, DeBeen was often not a quiet or relaxing space. Baristas are personable more times than not though you may occasionally encounter one who seems put out by having to make a beverage. Lastly, if you do not snag a parking space in front, the side/back lot can be dicey.

These points aside, DeBeen’s commendable assortment and loyalty offers present compelling reasons to keep coming back.
