I have been purchasing vanilla beans through cool beans for a couple years.
The quality has always been above and beyond.
The customer service is AMAZING.
I've always gotten quick reply back & speedy delivery within a few days of ordering.
They are there to answer questions & has given me great advice.
I'm a big vanilla paste fan and these beans make the best flavour ever.
I will continue buying beans through cool beans.
Very happy customer 😀
Thank you for your quality and amazing service.

I homebrew and had never used real vanilla beans for my stouts. I love vanilla but the extract always seemed unnatural in my beers. I came across Mike’s beans and had some shipped. I split them open and let my newly fermented stout sit on them for a few weeks. Finally, a natural tasting vanilla for my beer. I will definitely order again!

These are the best vanilla beans pods I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. I can squeeze the beans straight from the pods. They arrived quickly and packaged well to protect the pods. 100% will be purchasing from again.

Absolutely love the beans. I've bought quite a few from him. Killer quality, fresh as can be, and these make thr rum we make incredible! Not to mention the Kahlua and vanilla extract. Do not buy from anyone else.pr the store. Almost that time and will be placing another order soon. 100% top of the line beans! 5 stars for sure!!!

I originally made my purchase to do my own vanilla extract, but these actually ended up being used in a couple of meads (honey wine) that I brew as a hobby. They greatly contributed to the aroma and flavor of each! Highly recommended.

I bought some beans for a couple of different home brewed beers (a stout and a cream ale) and if I'm being honest, they were two of the best beers I've ever made. High quality vanilla, shipped fast and easy. I will be buying again.

Mike is doing vanilla god’s work and making all our baking & cooking lives better for it. He was incredibly kind, considerate, and responsive throughout the entire process. Beans were vacuum sealed, arrived in less than a week, and were DIVINE. Can’t beat the pricing either. Recommend a million times!

If you're looking for bean-credible vanilla beans, look no further than Cool Beans Vanilla! I bought 30 beans from Mike back in February 2023, and not only did he ship them out immediately, but they arrived vacuum-sealed and perfectly fresh. He even gave me the option of multiple bags or all in one—super thoughtful!

Now, here's the real vanilla thriller: I didn’t use them for an entire year (oops!), so I was worried they might have lost their magic. But when I finally opened the bag in 2024, I was hit with the most vanilliant aroma. I sliced them open, steeped them in some local vodka, and let the beans do their thing. After months of waiting (and the occasional shake), the result was top-notch vanilla extract—rich, aromatic, and utterly unbean-lievable!

I bottled some up in December for Christmas gifts and my own use, and the best part? I just topped it off with more vodka and am keeping the same batch going! These beans are still working their magic, making my kitchen smell like pure vanilla heaven.

I gifted some small bottles to my favorite people, but let’s be honest—most of this liquid gold is staying with me. From now on, this is the only place I’ll be buying vanilla beans. Mike is fantastic—quick, responsive, and super helpful with questions. And the name? Cool Beans Vanilla? Absolute vanillagance!

10/10, two thumbs up, and a lifetime supply of gratitude. If you're on the fence, don’t be—just bean it!

A few years ago I saw someone advertising vanilla beans on the book of faces, it seemed like too good of a deal. The beans were reasonably priced and he had several options. So of course I browsed his page to see if he was legit and from what I could tell, he had good reviews and no complaints. I bought a small handful of beans so I could make vanilla syrup and honestly, it was one of the best random purchases I have ever made. The beans showed up vacuumed packed to keep them fresh and quicker than I expected (I wasn’t even sure if they would show up but they sure did). I’m honestly thrilled to see that he now has a website and is continuing to offer such a great deal on vanilla beans. I will be purchasing more again shortly and can’t wait to bake more tasty things with them!

My order was shipped out, came before expected delivery date, they messaged me to ensure I got my order. The process was super easy, and they tasted so yummy in the recipes I used.

I bought vanilla beans for meade, cakes and other sweets and were the best in terms of quality and price comparing to whatever I had from different big stores. I recommend them to anyone using vanilla beans for any purpose, you'll see the difference comparing to the ones from big markets.
