The Beanery has received several warnings in recent months.
Beanery representatives refused an interview request, but vendor Vonda May Watson, who has been delivering sacks of coffee and sugar to The Beanery since 1998, commented that she had made some disturbing observations. "I go in the back entrance of The Beanery to drop off an order, and I see mice scurrying around right in the damn food! I don't want to be gross, but let's just say those little brown coffee beans in the bins?--they might not all be coffee beans."
