Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf

Great place to get coffee or tea. My favorites are the ice blended mocha, iced vanilla coffee, or iced green tea. I usually ask for slightly less powder in my coffee drinks so the coffee taste is stronger. The staff is very friendly and create a fantastic atmosphere. The short term parking is great and allows those not shopping at the mall to stop quickly and grab something to go.

Let me just say that I love Starbucks when it comes to coffee. Howerver, when it comes to an ice blended, which would be a frappuccino at Starbucks, Coffee Bean is not only the ORIGINAL ice blended, it is also much much tastier. My personal favorites are the vanilla blended and caramel blended.
If you want to do homework, you do have access here for Wi-​Fi. Also, if you work for the mall in front of Coffee Bean, you get 10% off!
What I really like is that they keep the store very clean. The tables, bathrooms, trash, etc. Are always how they should be.
Overall, let me just say that this place is excellent for those of you who just want to chill with friends, go on a date, or have a peaceful and quiet spot to do homework.
Staff, you guys always give me such good customer service. I will definitely be back for more!

I absolutely LOVE this location! #1 great service, #2 great regulars, #3 drinks made to perfection EVERY time!

I love this coffee bean location. It has amazing service, all the staff is so friendly they make you feel right at home. They have a great store manager Robert. (Thanks for my ice tea made to perfection). There’s one cashier her name is Samantha she has the best recommendations and is so friendly. This is why I come to coffee bean they know what 5 star service is.

So yes I’m a Starbucks girl but I like this Coffee Bean location. The service has always been super nice. We always get greeted when we enter and the place is kept super clean. Everyone is friendly and helpful. Good amount of searing and numerous club chairs for extra comfiness.

Delicious drip coffee. I usually end up going ever morning for my 2^nd coffee fix of the day.

I like this location a lot. It’s one of my favorites.
The location is large and very open and bright. The people working there are generally always friendly.
A few of my friends and I often choose this location to meet up and visit when I’m in town.
I will definitely be back!

Although my coffee tasted way too bitter, I went up to the barista and told her my situation and she happily made me another one which tasted way way better. She even brought it out to where I was sitting which was a very nice gesture. The workers are extremely friendly and I love their coffee. I had the vanilla iced coffee

I had no idea I could place phone orders so amazing and not to mention every time I come here I always leave satisfied! Anyway when I called to place a phone order Robert answered and did such an excellent job at customer service considering I came as barista from Starbucks. I worked at Starbucks for 4 years and let me tell you Coffee Bean is much better. I always ask myself, «why didn’t I find you first ?» Lol okay off to enjoy my Yummy Iced Vanilla Latte:)

Really nice cashier, but the barista making the drinks was laughing at me because I didn’t know what o wanted to drink, pretty rude?! Not sure why she was laughing… Sorry we don’t all know the coffee lingo? BTW Her name is Samantha!

I love Coffee Bean, and I wish I discovered this before I got hooked on Starbucks. While their drinks taste different, I think it’s for the better. Starbucks is all syrup, especially with their teas. Coffee Bean has much better tea. This location is nice because it’s quiet! Great place for studying or doing work. It’s in the corner at East Village, next to Jamba Juice. It’s across the street from Crepeland and Tiki Yaki. The parking spots in front of it are only 30 minutes. You’ll have to park farther if you plan on staying longer.
Right now they give you a free drink if you buy a $ 25 gift card!

Met a friend here the other night. Staff was super patient & helpful in making my drink decision. I ended up with the best hazelnut latte I’ve ever had and my friend got a sandwich and raved about how good it was too. They even let us hang out a little past closing time & finish our conversation. I’ll be back here for sure!

I adore all the baristas here, they are so friendly and take the time to learn your name and it’s exactly what you need to start your morning off on the right foot. The small personal touches make a huge difference and they always have a smile on their faces. Anything from their menu is amazing, I’m never disappointed when trying something new.

This place seriously needs more tables and chairs. There is a lot of empty space that could be used… just sayin

Hazelnut blended is amazing. You can taste the coffee and its authentic. Love coffee bean. Starbucks is still overrated and coffee bean is delicious. I love staff and the drinks. So many options to choose from. A regular for sure.

Finally a coffee shop that suits my needs. After trying numerous iced coffees from different coffee shops I was introduced to a new kind of drink that I believe is rarely offered. I was recommended the Iced Thai Tea by one of the employees, not sure if it is a seasonal drink but it was delicious.
They have four different drink sizes from small to large and are pretty quick to serve you. The only thing that I hope they start doing is offering customers a rewards card such as 7leaves or Starbucks. Nonetheless, the staff here was friendly so I will definetely frequent this place more often this summer.

I love this place. The coffee and teas are delicious. I come here to study A LOT and the staff have always been warm and friendly and they never seem annoyed that I’m here for a few hours at a time.

A coffee a day keeps the doctor away
A coffee a day or keep away from me.
Located in the Village… AKA mall of Orange in the outer realm of the parking lot near Chipoltle and Jamba Juice offering a few 10 minute parking spots. 10 minutes is all I need to get in and out in a flash.
I am a fan of their coffee and tea only. Not so much of a fan of their food items. When comparing Coffee Bean to other mass chain coffee houses, I prefer the Coffee Bean. But comparing it, to single local shops I may pick the individual ones to Coffee Bean.
The iced vanilla coffee is my favorite. Its not that strong, so sometimes I add a shot. They use powdered vanilla mixed in with their house brew and pour it over crushed ice. The beast of mine wont admit it, but he has a sweet tooth. His pick is the ice blended white chocolate mocha with chocolate drizzle all over the whip cream.
The hot teas are pretty good especially if your sick. I drink the lemon chamomile tea with lots of honey. The beast likes to add about 10 packs of sugar to his.
Service is usually fast and friendly. They sell K Cups for $ 11.99 and throw in a free cup of coffee.
Outdoor patio offers a few tables and welcomes your furryfriend. Indoor tables seem to offer a decent work space if your lucky enough to get one of the bigger tables.
Is it the best coffee? Not exactly, but pretty close.
**2015 update

Not in the mood for over-​roasted coffee today (Starbucks). Like Peet’s, The Coffee Bean is the place I go when I need a good cup of joe.
This location is one one of my favorites. Staff is very nice, store is spotless and the service is great.

Short-​n-​Sweet: Small location, has cozy/​outdoor/​regular table seating; everything you would expect from a CBTL
STORY-​TIME:
Ok, no rewards system? And u have to have your free drink on the spot when you get a $ 25 gift card. Hmm. Seems like Starbucks offers more.
BUT, CBTL does have better coffee and way better tea than Bucks. When I say «better,» I mean more options for your regular cup of joe. A mocha is a mocha to me. But a great cup of java can really set me free.
(You may publish that rhyme for $ 5. Thnx) This location is also small. But at least they offer a couple of cozy seats. And this CBTL doesn’t really get «hopping,» so if you do want a casual and somewhat quiet atmosphere, come here!
(That one is only $ 1 for publishing. Thnx)
