The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf

I absolutely LOVE coffee bean! Best place to get tea. Hand rolled tea leaves and delicious!

Good latte, average service. It has a strong flavor like Peet’s, so if you like Peet’s you’ll like this.

I love coffee bean and this one has such a great location. It’s nice to relax with a hot winter dream tea latte in the winter or a pearberry granita in the summer. Jenny is the manager and is very helpful and friendly. She has a very clean and organized store. The staff is hardworking so don’t forget to tip your baristas and enjoy your delicious coffee.

This is my go to spot for coffee after a meal during the Thursday night street fair.
There’s always a line for the bathroom and since I’m one who uses it I fraternize the business.
There is an enormous Starbucks right across the street but I like the coffee better here. Their hot mochas are much more chocolately.
It’s a great place to sit and people watch.
Only thing I don’t like is there are a lot of smokers right outside and I thought the rule was at least 25 feet away. It was so bad we were driven inside for our people watching

Avante helped us today and yesterday. When we arrived today he said «welcome back» with a smile and knew what my wife wanted to order. He didn’t even take our Oder yesterday so it’s amazing that he remembered her drinks. It’s these type of employees that make a small business thrive. Thank you Avante

I love The Coffee Bean, I work 2 blocks away and it is the perfect place to come grab a quick pick me up! The staff are always so polite, I enjoy coming here on my break.

I had the most annoying experience today. I bought TWO cookies and my daughter wanted Chocolate Chip (Vegan) so I went back immediately to exchange but they only had ONE. I then proceeded to tell the barista that I am returning the other one and she told me to «JUST PUT IT BACK»… So I asked, where is my money for that cookie? She responded «What do you mean?» I patiently tried to explain that was just simple Math, I bought TWO COOKIES but she was only able to exchange ONE, and to makes matters worse SHE WAS GOING TO CHARGE FOR THE COOKIE I EXCHANGED!!!
She called Wesley the manager and he said it was HARD to understand the problem.
If they don’t know simple Math imagine what they do when charging the customers?
Starbucks is just across the street.

Excellent manager Jenny as she keeps such a clean store which is key for picky espresso drinkers like me!
She is friendly but professional!
No hassle attitude too and gracious use of facilities!
Great corner spot for 2 options for teas!
Not connected or related!
God bless+++

Better coffee then Starbucks and not as busy. We went here every afternoon for a week on a recent trip to PS

Got a regular vanilla iced blended half nsa half regular, soooo good! Staff is nice.

Nice tables in and out, even some cushioned chairs and misters outside, make this a fun hangout on a street corner. Service has been pleasant and quick even if there is a line on my several visits. I love their tropical iced tea with small crunchy ice, perfect in the PS heat. Plus it is fun to watch tourists taking photos with Lucy on the bench, or the Marilyn Monroe statue just down Tahquitz Canyon Drive.

I should have over 100 check inns here! But don’t always have time to help! Lol
Love this spot!

We usually like to try local coffee-​shops, but downtown Palm Springs doesn’t have too many (one closes at 3 pm), so we stopped by this place for an afternoon snack. It’s a big location with plenty of room inside and a huge patio outside which we enjoyed later.
We got 2 pastries– a red velvet cheesecake and a sweet cheese bear claw, both delicious and fresh. The service wasn’t great, the guy behind the counter was too eager to sell us on packaged coffee instead of asking if we want whipped cream in our frappuccino-​s. More attention to what people order would be nice.
Otherwise an OK place to grab something or enjoy a coffee on the patio, right in downtown Palm Springs.

I have a bad review last week and was so kindly responded to I had to remove my post. It’s hard to keep up on a business when you are underhanded. It’s a busy world with many of us working to hard for to little. Thank you for your nice reply.

Blah. I just wasn’t impressed. Ordered regular coffee and got beans and they were okay. Nice corner spot location with a mister but bottom line: even though they are CA only, it felt like a chain.

Really nice staff and great coffee! (Much better than Starbucks) We went here a couple of days while staying down the street at the Marriott. Really pleasant corner location with lots of outdoor seating. They have pastries, yogurt, cottage cheese, etc in a case up front. Nothing special but ok if you just want something small.

I liked this place, better than starbucks for sure. I had a nice cup of tea and an apple type pastry and a cottage cheese that they sell in the cooler. The other time I went I had a bran muffin that was super good and I had an almond, coconut milk latte. YUMMY.
I love their English Breakfast Tea. I always go to CBTL whenever I find one. I must agree with another reviewer, the one in Vegas is actually, the best one I have gone to.
But, I usually have a pretty good experience at CBTL no matte rwhere they are… and I wish there were more of them.

I HATE this coffee bean. Ordered a iced tea latte she gave it to me hot and when I asked her to remake it she gave me a cup of ice on the side. Not what I asked for. I worked at a coffee bean. I know better

This Coffee Bean easily earned a Deserved 1-​star review from their actions last Saturday.
It was a blasting hot day and the streets were closed and over-​flowing crowded with cyclists from the Tour de Palm Springs, their supporters, and tourists.
I just arrived in front of the Coffee Bean after cycling 102 miles in almost 90 degree heat at the end. I was dehydrated. Went inside for bottled water, but they only had warm bottled water because it was selling so briskly that they would not cool new bottles down fast enough. Instead the clerk filled a cup with Ice to cool the water.
Great idea! Right? At least I thought so until the ice melted a bit revealing floating pieces of some very noticeable black particles. I already poured more than half the bottle in the cup.
Really did not want to drink the rest with the black particles in it.
What are those particles?
Went back inside to show the clerk and instead of offering a new bottle of water like I requested with maybe? better ice if they had it, the clerk takes the cup, throws it out, says he will not replace the bottled water, and gives me a new cup with ice and Tap water.
You would expect the clerk to at a minimum give you a new bottle of water to make up for bottled water lost when it was poured on Their Dirty Ice!
Not a great operation this place has. With that behavior, I would suspect this place has severe management or ownership problems.

Its a chain so it is supposed to run like all the others…
To my surprise, the Passion Fruit Tea which is an amazing drink and several times I have had it here in Vegas blended, this place said they were not able to do that…
Most places they use a powder to mix in the drink and are able to make it blended by just adding ice and throwing it in the blender.
Yes there are some places that give you a strange look and tell you it may not taste as intended, however I have NEVER once returned it for not tasting the way I desired.
At this location though, they just flat out refused to give me what I wanted which is ok, I just won’t be back to this particular coffee bean. There are several other coffee places in the area who will do what the customer is asking for and paying for…
