We are able to preserve the natural cocoa flavor that gives our drinks a bold, rich and roasted flavor. Served hot, chilled over ice or blended into a frozen creamy delight sure to cool you down.

With over 40 tantalizing flavors, you’re sure to tickle your taste buds with gourmet flavors like Raspberry Chocolate Cheese Cake, Ultimate Brownie and the one and only- Better Than Whatever, to name a few.
Our Customers
We strive to connect with our customers and create an atmosphere that is comfortable, fun and enjoyable. We want to create and “experience” when you enter The Cocoa Bean Cupcake Cafe. Whether you are in a hurry or want to take the time to slow down and savor the experience, you will always be welcome at The Cocoa Bean. Step out of life and into The Cocoa Bean Cupcake Cafe!

Mini’s Retro Cafe – NOW OPEN!
Okay, I am completely swamped at work…but I have to tell you about Mini’s Retro Cafe
before this work day is over!
I attended the private launch party for Mini’s Retro Cafe last night in Salt Lake City. Mini’s Retro Cafe is the newest addition to soon-to-be cupcake empire of Leslie Fiet, owner Mini’s Cupcakes. 
It’s an awesome cafe with comfort food and a space that instantly conjures up memories of my grandma’s house. In an awesome and delicious way! Here’s quick picture recap. Clearly, Leslie thought through the whole “retro” concept and I just have to smile at every little detail that was taken into consideration for the decor and menu.
I spent the night eating awesome food all made from scratch (besides the spam!).
Of course there were cupcakes. I had the chance to try Leslie’s BRAND NEW apple caramel flavor. Amazing!
loving this chandelier.
TV trays are conveniently placed EVERYWHERE!
watch a gazillion retro shows! and i love the art on the walls. can’t remember the artist’s name, but I’m pretty sure everything is for sale.
my favorite corner of the cafe: the luggage.
flamingo city.
holy-huge-freaking-pigs-in-a-blanket.
I’m sorry, but cupcakes look awesome in this retro setting! Don’t you love the lamps, furniture and old issues of magazines! That cupcake there is my favorite of Mini’s Cupcakes: the Black & White.
Here’s a shot of the food we devoured. Gosh, there were so many fun items.
Deviled eggs (my husband’s favorite), homemade mac n cheese (my second favorite), Jello (very good!), egg salad sandwich (MY VERY FAVORITE), pudding in a cloud (husband’s other favorite), pigs in a blanket (with two kinds of huge-mungo sausages), fluffer-nutters (very fluffy) and spam starters (nice, served warm on crackers with swiss cheese and i liked!).
here’s a shot of their pudding in a cloud in retro serveware. seriously, just the lighting in these pix is just like my grandma’s. i’m so diggin this.
my favorite food of the night: egg salad sandwiches. Mini’s Retro Cafe makes their own mayo, which is obvious because these really are delicious.
I think this is a great extension of Mini’s current business concept. All from scratch and just plain good. I’m so happy there is more room to sit and hang out. And as a girl who is freaquently “cupcaking” I appreciate that this cupcakery serves savory food. Oftentimes when I’m out on my adventures, I am chasing the clock to make it to the bakery before it closes…which means I haven’t had dinner. So I welcome a savory pre-cupcake nosh.
Head on over to Mini’s Retro Cafe. Tell them I sent you and live it up. Stay for a while. You’ll feel right at home and totally relaxed. Pull up a TV tray, watch some old episodes of your fave retro show and heck, play a board game.
Kudos to you, Leslie, you’ve created something quite cool! …and as usual…completely delicious!
