The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf

Employees are so nice! And their iced vanilla latte is better than Starbucks in lower 48.

I love the tea lattes and their ices teas! Far better than Starbucks in my opinion. The stamp card is disappointing to me though because every time I almost full it up, it’s expired *sigh*

This CBTL is close to my home and very much like a neighborhood coffee house. The staff is consistently friendly and very courteous. They always use my name and say Thanks!
The coffee products at CBTL are clearly better than the other guys. Fresh, not bitter or too strong. The team at this location really cares too, making sure my beverage is perfect every time. The pastries and food is awesome and super fresh.
This location is also always clean and organized. The pastry case is neat and the lobby is comfortable.
I really enjoy my weekly visits here! Thanks CBTL!

Whenever I come here, I always get the best service. I come here so often, the Coffee Bean Crew is basically family. Their service is always fast and friendly. The food is also delicious.

I usually frequent to the Makakilo coffee bean but I go to the Foodland location when I’m closeby or doing some shopping. Almost every single time I’ve been here, there has always been something wrong. One time, a guy was scratching his head while making my drink, I ask for extra caramel walls and they either barely put or they put extra sauce in it (which is digusting) because it becomes too sweet. The workers are not nice at all. This location NEEDS to work on their customer service.

I come here almost everyday. Their coffee is far superior to Starbucks. The stamp card gives me a free drink every other week and the staff is always fast and friendly.
Oh, and If you follow @coffeebeanhi on instagram there are deals every Monday!

First time I ordered a cappuccino & really didn’t care for it so they were very accommodating as they allowed me to order my usual white choco mocha. Everyone is so pleasant here & they always greet you with a smile & they make you feel welcomed no matter how busy it is. I’m definitely coming back here since I get my nails done in the same complex!

Some of the best coffee and tea on island. They have quick and friendly service. Some of my favorites are the chai tea latte and the iced mocha.

Love this location, I’m never dissatisfied with my drink, the workers are always smiling and very friendly!

The dark chocolate latte is soooo good… But I also really love their toffee nut and they didn’t have any!

I loving coming here. I recently became addicted to their lihing mui lemonade — so refreshing. Whenever I need coffee and sweet I grab their ice blended dark chocolate with coffee. It’s a perfect blend of sweet and pick me up. I wish from mend more stuff but I stick to what I like :)

First of all, they need to hire more workers, Second of all, the workers need to be well trained. I’ve been here more than 10 times, and everytime i was here, they always make my order wrong, Nothing major (just like forgot my mochi ice cream, or made my supposed to be HOT to COLD drink or totally forgot that they had an order waiting or instead of charging you a caramel cappuccino that is on the menu, they will charge u coffee with extra shots of caramel so you pay a little bit more, etc) things like that and they will correct it if i asked but thats not what you want to experience every time. I work close by so it’s very convenient for me BUT I would only come here from now on if I really need a fresh coffee, if not I would rather buy bottle of Starbucks instead.

No lines. Who doesn’t love that? The staff is always friendly and drinks come out quick and refreshing. Only thing was that when I ordered a ice tea lemonade, three fourths of my drink was ice. That sucked but the drink still hit the spot.

absolutely best hidden coffee/​tea spot on the westside. I love coming here, the ladies/​and gents who work here have excellent customer service, i’ve been here more than 10+ visits (unfortunately forgot to check-​in on Unilocal due to an orgasmic explosion) and have never have to wait to get my order in. Area is clean and organize (you have a choice of staying inside or going outside to enjoy your tasty treat. Choices on the menu are plenty. I would highly recommend Coffee Bean & Tea to my friends.

Location is in Foodland on the kapolei parkway. Fairly brand new so everything is shiny and new. Staff is super nice, no stares like hurry up. It’s not that busy in the morning so no lines. They have daily specials as well as their breakfast pastries, salad lunch, blah, blah, u get the point. Their drinks are way bettah than the other guys. It’s in Foodland so you can get your coffe fix while doing your groceries and get your meds.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this place… Being from NYC and being used to Dunkin Donuts, I have been spoiled with good coffee. I’ve tried forcing myself to like Starbucks, but didn’t succeed. Thank god for the CBTL, I find myself craving it all the time. I wish I didn’t have to drive 30 minutes or so to my nearest location (wish there were more), but it totally with it :).

I’m so glad they have this place in Foodland… used to drive up Makakilo Dr or frequent other places. Glad they are expanding. The ice blends are my favorite along with Bubbies mochi ice cream. Enjoy!

Oh How I love CBTL. If you have read my reviews before you have read my love poem of CBTL. Seriously when will CBTL overthrow the evil dictatorship of the Starbucks empire? Anyways. This place is super convenient because I make the bad decision to go get my nails done when I have gotten no sleep and I’m super tired. So what I do is, go to CBTL get yummy coffee and then fall asleep at Cosmic Beauty while they do my nails.
This is a pretty standard location. Located inside foodland and it’s super clean. The ladies that work here are awesome. They are always super nice and put up with how not awake I am. They usually make me something yummy that has caffeine and I’m good. I also dig the fact that they have food there and it’s actually really good food.
The one thing I keep forgetting is that they do not sweeten their drinks. So if you like sweet drinks make sure you put sugar in your drink!

So glad we have a coffee bean in kapolei =) I was first introduced to coffee bean when I lived in makakilo and switched over from Starbucks because the coffees are much smoother than the other guys. I would always get an upset stomach after drinking Starbucks but just dealt with it. I’m so glad I found a better alternative!
The makakilo cbtl is good but out of the way now that I’m not on the mountain anymore. Everyone that has helped me at the kapolei location has been patient, and friendly. I’m always trying new things and being picky so I tend to ask lots of questions, and they’ve all been good about dealing with me. Although all the new stuff I been trying isn’t as good as my usual (caramel ice blend with whipped cream) it’s all still Awesome stuff! I’m currently sipping on some white chocolate hot latte, and I’ve also tried the white chocolate ice blend, winter dream tea latte, lemon tea latte with vanilla and they are all Great! So even if you’re a die hard Starbucks drinker, why not just give this place a try once? They also have a stamp card reward program that I’m into because for every dollar you spend you get a stamp and a fully stamped card gets you a free drink any flavor, style and any size!

This Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf is in the perfect location. Close to my home, inside the Foodland and most importantly — Within walking distance. Yes!
Service is good, both girls that were there the time I stopped by were very friendly, patient (Always takes me forever to decide what I want) and efficient. It is in a new store, so it looks very nice.
The Chai tea is awesome, especially warm. I heart Chai though, so maybe I’m biased.
