It means “the beans” in French.

I just saw this linked from a friend’s LiveJournal – an online coffee purveyor called Les Beans. What a great company name! It’s a woman-owned company that sells organic and Fair Trade coffee – and they varieties also have fun names, like Salvador Dolly, Costa Rita, and Mocha Lisa. They also donate 10% of their profits to women’s charities. If you’re going to give your company a quirky, fun, and potentially edgy name, this is the way to do it.
