The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf

[Location & Parking]
The Coffee Bean and Tea is located inside Foodland of Market City Shopping Center. There is ample parking located on the top and bottom level of Market City.
[Service]
This is one of my favorite locations to go to. The staff is always helpful and quick with assembling my order.
[Interior]
Because this location is inside of Foodland, there aren’t many seating areas. There are couple tables for 2 and the have several bar stool areas. There are some tables outside but with all the wind and noise (you’re right next to the road and freeway), I think it’s better to sit indoors.
[Drinks]
I usually like ordering the sweet coffee flavored drinks. However, Coffee Bean is one of the few places where I can drink their coffee straight without any cream or sugar. I always order an iced americano if I need a strong pick-​me-​up.
[Overall]
This location offers great service and to me they have one of the better tasting coffees. Make sure you follow them on instagram for deals and sign up for their email offers for special weekend deals.

I love the stamp card program, free toffee nut for me today, w00t!
I’m a fan of their ice blendeds, and when in the mood for hot coffee, I’ll take theirs over Star-​burned any day of the week, and twice on Sundays.

Coffee Bean automatically gets four stars because their coffee is just bomb. This one gets five because not only do they have that going for them, they serve samples on the daily. Thanks to this place I know what a red velvet donut tastes like (pretty much just a regular donut), as well as a «pure vanilla», some kinda drink that’s like a vanilla milkshake I guess.
Five out of five would free sample again.

I stop by here at least twice a week. The staff are super friendly and funny. They memorized my drink after only the second time I went there. It’s a great location for a quick in and out coffee run.

Bought a coffee and breakfast sandwich here, planning to sit for a while and do some school work. Couldn’t because the two tables indoors were occupied and the three outdoors reek of cigarette smoke – two of them actually had smokers occupying them. This was at 11am. Won’t be back.
If you label an area smoke free, employees should consistently enforce the policy. I would not have bought anything if I knew I would just have to get back in my car and find somewhere else to study.

Yummy yummy & yummy. And great customer service too! Not quite as upbeat as my Starbucks Stores but my drink made up for it!

I love their Iced Coffee! For a while, I was ordering one every single day! Then I started to worry about drinking too much caffeine so I started to cut back. Generally, though, I can count on a good tasting Iced Coffee. After finding this drink, I went to StarBucks to order one, but I did not like the taste (too bitter) and I did not like the StarBuck’s snippy service. This CBTF has very friendly workers and they tend to remember you. I like going through Foodland to get to them.

I shouldn’t even have to give this place a star.
The manager who made my drink was so unprofessional. When I asked her to make my specific drink she gave me this snarky look and with an irritating answer saying that we don’t make that and talked to me while walking away. It’s doesn’t matter if your busy or not your customer service must be on top. I would like to thank the poor cashier that has to deal that bitch.

I was never a fan of The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, until now. I am used to Starbucks and McDonald and Jack N a Box coffee. Now having to try the Coffee Bean & Tea leaf’s coffee and tea, I can say its amazing. I love this location because its on the way to my work.
They have a good selection of coffee and teas. I love ordering the caramel affaogato. This is a caramel blended coffee that is toped off with a shot of espressos. They also a have selection of sandwiches… however you’ll have to go early to get the best choice because they might run out.
They offer stamp cards if you are one of those returning Customers. I wish they would have a card like Starbucks. But I guess the stamp card will do. When you fill your stamp card your next order will be free.

I usually love Coffee bean & Tea leaf and I’ll choose it over Starbucks all the time. I come here for the delicious Plantation Iced tea, pretty simple you know? Anyway last night wasn’t busy at all, no one was there! Which was cool to me cause I was in and out. However, I ordered my XL plantation iced tea light ice, and my friend also ordered the same thing.
We get our iced teas and it taste like ICED TEA… We did order plantation which obviously has pineapple juice in it, but tasted HORRIBLE. I was in a really good mood too so I decided hey whatever you know. I then gave it to my sister because I was just over it lol. I know it’s my fault for not going back to say something about the taste, but next time I will if they continue to make it that way.
I’ve ordered from here before the same exact drink and it’s never tasted that way. So I’ll let it slide once lol.
Anyway I’ll be back. Perfect to pair with a poke bowl on a hot day.

Fast friendly service! Conveniently located next to food land so you can grocery shop and grab you coffee at the same time!

I’ve been lured into trying the different featured drinks, dulce leche this or pumpkin spice that, but I always regret it. Nothing else compares to my hands down favorite Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf drink, a hot Dark Chocolate Latte.
If you want to, you could add an extra shot for more caffeine or ask for less dark chocolate powder to reduce the sugar. It is a sweet drink, but the dark cocoa flavor balances the sweetness. So yummy.

I would also get a tea. They carry a variety of loose leaf teas and brew them fresh. If you prefer a cold, blended drink, their Ice Blendeds are icy-​er than other places, more like a frosty than a shake. They also have baked goods and grab and go for quick snacks.

This CBTL is my favorite location. Friendly, quick baristas are awesome! They have steel cut oatmeal with our choice of toppings including: walnuts, bananas, honey, brown sugar & raisins & I usually get all of the toppings & add a sprinkle of cinnamon & splash of cream. My favorite hot beverage is the hot English breakfast latte. I think their secret ingredient is their vanilla powder which adds flavor & some sweetness.
Lots of baked goods & sandwiches available too.
As others have mentioned, parking at Market City can sometimes be very challenging (due to lack of available spots & inconsiderate drivers).
Lastly, don’t forget to get a stamp card, where you get a free beverage with maximum size of a large cup, when the card is full (after 50 stamps). You receive 1 stamp per $ 1.

The workers here are AWESOME, the brownies here are AWESOME, the vibe here is AWESOME the only reason I can’t give this Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf 5 stars is because the parking here sucks.
I understand that it is no fault of their own, so I have to go with four stars All in all.

Why am I drinking coffee at 5:15 p.m. I need coffee to study and I am beginning my studies late, now what will I take to help me sleep tonight?
I think this is going to be my new go-​to spot for studying (outside of school). The parking lot is busy depending on when you come, but have patience you will find a spot. Free wifi! Yay! There are two real table inside which seat three people but there are 5 bar seats available. I saw five tables outside if you don’t mind sitting and listening to traffic.
The service is great and delivered with a smile. I have been here a couple of times and never had to wait in line or deal with employee issues. I do also want to mention that I phoned them to find out if they had free wifi before heading here. The employee answered the phone promptly and was curteous which is always a bonus.
The variety of food is small compared to some larger Starbucks locations that I’ve seen but there is definitely something to satisfy your appetite. If not this location is adjacent to a Foodland and there are a number of food places in the area.
Believe it or not I actually prefer The Coffee Bean flavor over Starbucks. Maybe it’s just because I’m not one to follow the crowd, I don’t know but I do like the flavor their coffee.
Time to bang out some school work so I can party in the mountains this weekend!

Hazelnut latte extra hot is the best here! I’ve been getting it here for the past 3 yrs and it never disappoints. Very fast service and everyone is very nice.

Automatic at least three stars if outdoor seating so I can bring ollie the dog. Add one more star for polite service and yummy cheddar bacon scone. Decided to have breakfast here and hang with the dog while the hub is doing grocery shopping at foodland. Not very many places that are dog friendly here in Honolulu so always glad to patronize places that are. It’s noisy next to street but whatever I’ll take what I can get. Chairs and tables are fairly clean and maintained.

I never paid really much attention to CB&TL before. My wife gets coffee before work a lot. I am not a coffee drinker so I usually don’t get anything. One day she brings out an orange icy drink. She says she got me a Li Hing Lemonade. First sip and I was HOOKED. Its so good, saltly, sour, sweet and refreshing in all one sip. I almost went here 3x in a day to get my fix… sooooo good.

I choose CBTL over Starbucks ANYDAY & I especially love this location.
1. Their drinks taste GREAT
2. They are cheap! Only $ 5 for my large iced white chocolate latte. My coworker always gets the plantation tea & it’s only like $ 3.
3. They are CONSISTENT. I am here for the same drink almost every single of the week, for at least the last 3 weeks & it has been on point EVERY time, no matter who’s working.
4. I am not a hardcore coffee fanatic but their coffee is strong enough to keep me going at work 10−12hrs/day, 6days/​week.
5. I hate going to Starbucks & seeing people lounging around, wasting table/​chair space for HOURS. This CBTL is so tiny & they only have barstool style seating inside that it’s impossible to do that. It’s like this shop was tailored just for me!
6. HUGE variety of teas! I don’t drink any of them but they’re there
The only cons I relate to this business are:
1. Even though I literally work 5mins away, I refuse to walk here. Too much homeless all over the place in this area.
2. The parking SUCKS unless I come early in the morning before work.
Still giving 5stars because the cons aren’t CBTL’s fault!

Great spot!
I came here for some ice blended drinks and left satisfied.
My only problem is parking but it wasn’t too bad. There were tons of people here because of the supermarket next door.
Would be back!
