The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf

This location is very convenient that it’s down the hill from my house. There’s always seems to be samples on the counter, the barristas are nice, they have a frequent purchaser stamp card, as well as a take out dessert paper menu. I’ve ordered an entire dessert platter for my students once before, for an administrative approved end of semester classroom party.
The reason why I’m giving the low rating is because of the horrible parking lot that they share with the Malama Market, Gentle Dental, and the gas station. I’ve mentioned this same, narrow, slanted parking lot in my ⁰¹¹⁄₃₆₅ Unilocal Challenge review. If it wasn’t for this awful parking lot, I’d give this location five stars. It seems to be safer early in the morning, when there are a few cars. I’ve also seen two car accidents at the intersection leading into this establishment. There is no left arrow only green light, if you are making a left hand turn into their driveway, while going down Makakilo Dr.

If your a coffee addict like myself, then you are always on the prowl for a GOOD cup of coffee or Latte. I found exactly that in Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf.
I love, love, love their hot Tropical Passion Tea Latte and the Caramel Ice Blend. The Coffee Crumb cake is always moist, tasty and compliments my Latte like no other.
The customer service from the Barista’s here in Kapolei are by far the BEST! The location of this establishment is conveniently located on Makakilo Drive. They have out door tables and chairs for you to enjoy the views of Kaleloa all the way down to Diamond Head.
If you are ever in the neighborhood, stop by, order yourself a beverage, relax and enjoy the view.

Cofee Bean & Tea Leaf in Kapolei is one of the best coffee shops around. Great friendly service and they try their best to please the customers. And it’s so conveniently located on Makakilo Drive.
