community spotlight: Mike 🧋🤎

Mike’s been with us since the very beginning, following along in anticipation of our opening. We felt so welcomed to the neighborhood knowing we already had so much love and support coming from our fellow businesses. Mike is such a sweetheart and incredibly thoughtful. While we miss seeing him regularly, he still makes time to stop by even though he no longer works as close by. We’ll always be grateful for Mike and our community who have stuck with us through our exciting journey as a budding local business 🩵

"I used to work right next to The Bean Flower and spent so much time there, getting to know the crew, space and menu. I remember trying so many different things to figure out what I liked and didn't. However, it quickly became apparent that while I love a number of things The Bean Flower has to offer, my little southern heart was going to have a say. Enter Bobajangles; this drink has a southern style sweet tea base but is done up with milk and brown sugar mini boba, for a hit of nostalgic southern flavor mixed with a classic boba milk tea. It's simple and a great go-to when I don't know what I want.

I don't work next to The Bean Flower anymore, but it's a beloved place and I make the effort to stop by often anyway. Love y'all!"

team spotlight: Ari 🌿

“Hi! I’m Arienna. I am a barista at the bean flower! I was born in and grew up in Durham all of my life. I am an undergraduate college student studying architecture at NCSU’s College of Design.”

We’ve known Ari for a few years now, but she’s been spoiling us with her keen palate and love for creating delicious flavors on her summers home from college since last year. Ari is incredibly kind, considerate, and a thoughtful teammate. She’s as creative as she is wonderful to work with and is the artist behind our beautiful window art (stay tuned for a refresh coming soon 🙂‍↕️), along with being a talented potter as well. She always approaches any task, no matter how small or unflattering, with the most positive attitude! We are so lucky to have her calm and lovely energy on our team 🩵

team special: Calamansi Juice, featuring team member Erik (who is a JoJo’s fan) 💚

100% calamansi juice with house-made rock sugar syrup!

“Calamansi Juice is one of the staple things you can try in the Philippines, and I’m not sure why it took me so long to think of making this in store. I was thinking what my parents enjoyed as drinks aside from sago’t gulaman and my two brain cells finally made a great thought.

It’s light, refreshing, and amazing to combat the heat. I love sharing culture and this is one of many perfect ways to do it.

And approved by my dad!

Eun has been with our team since the beginning of last year, and we’re so lucky to have such a kind, considerate soul to work alongside! As the oldest sibling in his family, he’s always looking out for his team members and is often the first to offer help with side tasks that pop up. Eun is also our unofficial shop plant expert and the reason why our shop plants are still thriving! 🩵
