Baristas at The Human Bean will begin pouring coffee and other specialty beverages at the corner of Snowy Range Road and Johnson Street—right next to the Dollar Store—in Laramie beginning in the winter of 2025/2026. Customers are invited to come get a first taste of the drive-thru’s offerings, including specialty-grade coffee, Bright® Energy, real-fruit smoothies, whole-leaf teas, and hot breakfast items to-go.

Owned and operated by Matt and Davina Lockhart, this will be their second The Human Bean drive-thru location in Laramie. The couple first opened The Human Bean at 2700 E. Grand Avenue in 2021, where they were warmly welcomed by the Laramie community. Seeing a strong need in West Laramie, they spent the past 2–3 years diligently searching for the perfect spot to best serve that side of town.

“Our Bean Team is looking forward to providing high-quality products and exceptional customer service — all served with a signature chocolate-covered espresso bean on top,” says Matt Lockhart. “Laramie welcomed us with open arms at our first location, and we’re excited to now be part of the West Laramie community as well.”

“The bean on top is a little thank you for driving through, because The Human Bean believes in making even the smallest of exchanges memorable, kind, and sincere,” adds Davina Lockhart. “The company really operates as a family, and we’re happy to take care of our own ‘human beans’ here in Laramie.”

Popular drinks on the menu include the Snowy® Mocha, Java Chip Granita, and the company’s new proprietary Bright Energy made with caffeine sourced from green coffee beans. The drive-thru will also feature limited-time flavors, seasonal specials, and secret menu drinks throughout the year.

All of The Human Bean’s franchise locations participate in charity giving events, including their largest Coffee for a Cure giveback day in October. From coast to coast, drive-thrus collectively raise hundreds of thousands of dollars for cancer prevention and treatment annually. Customers can take part in these feel-good occasions simply by ordering their favorite drinks at The Human Bean in Laramie.

“Coffee is a special outlet for being involved in the community and fostering connections,” says Scott Anderson, COO of The Human Bean. “We know The Human Bean team in Laramie is looking forward to creating memorable experiences, one cup and one chocolate-covered espresso bean on top at a time.”

With The Human Bean Rewards App, customers will also be able to earn “beans” for their visits to collect toward free drinks. App users will have access to special offers and promotions, and can load a credit card for easy scan-and-pay visits.

Customers can prepare for their visit by viewing the drink menu and downloading Rewards App online.
