I will always choose a CB over a SB any day. The staff is pretty cool and nice. They remember your name too if you're a frequent. Double Vanilla Tea Latte!! yay!

I didn't have any cash on me so I was going to pay with a credit card and the barista said that their machine was down however it's been coming on and back off every once in a while. When my drink was finished, the machine was still down and I got the drink for free. They were really nice about it and asked if my friend wanted anything as well even though they knew we couldn't pay with the card. :) Great Service!! Great Drinks!! Tops any starbucks

I am giving this CBTL a bad review not because of the coffee but their service - so rude and racist! I will not post her name but I have the reciept and will report her. She shouldn't be treating customers like that since beverly hills has a lot of tourists!

Yummy hot chocolate! Very comfy cozy location. Where were the celebs though, I thought this was a hot spot!
Good coffee at a good price. Nothing extra ordinary about it. Standard coffee house service, everything is nice and clean, coffee tastes good, and they're relatively quick. I mostly just get drip coffee and tend to stay away from the "fancy" coffees. I'm not a tea drinker so I can't comment on it.

*****update***** I absolutely adore this coffee bean more than any other. Sidebar: I used to go to Urth caffe every single day but gave that up (as well as other regulars) because staff changed drastically and wait time has extended even longer! Anyway this CBTL is extra bonus special times because the staff is INCREDIBLE. they are sooooo friggin friendly. I adore Sal, Jackie, Pancha, and most of the long term morning crew. Love the morning doggy owner regulars even if it makes it a lil more difficult for me to bring my new puppy. But that's MY puppies fault, cause he's the one who is the a-hole and is getting ready to get trained. See you tomorrow guys! Xo Great seating. Dog and kid friendly. Obviously better than Starbucks and easier to get a drink than Urth Cafe.

Yes, it is a chain coffee shop but hey I love the coffee and tea here! In my opinion...way better then starbucks! I would pick a coffee bean and tea over a starbucks any day...I just wish they had more locations out there like starbucks that are on every freakin corner! My fav here would have to be the blended caramel...yummmmy!!!!! You can taste the coffee, the caramel, the goodness! Doesn't really have the taste or feel of a chain because seriously, it's like rare to find one of these damn places! Really irritating. If you do find yourself in a coffee bean and tea leaf definitely give the blended caramel...hope you fall in love like I have =)

Hey, it's just coffee. But for coffee, it's good. But mainly I just like the easy street parking, spots are open even at lunch hour. And I like the neighborhood environs as opposed to parking lots and gas stations.

Went here on a cold afternoon with my husband. We loved the seating arrangement and how everything was laid out. There are some sofa chairs around the fireplace and makes you feel like you are relaxing at a comfortable lounge. He got a yogurt (which he loved), a vanilla blended drink, he used to get the mocha but decided this one he had was the best he's had and I got a pre made tuna sandwich. The sandwich was very tasty. It was light on mayo and the sweetness and crunch of the apple was a great combination, the sandwich looks small, but it really is filling. You can't go wrong with CBTL.

Fast, competent service. A lot of indoor and outdoor seating. I heart mocha and hazelnut Ice Blendeds!

Danielle H.
If you want a great latte, go here! I really recommend the Passion tea latte! It's amazing. And I love their pastries. It's affordable and tasty. I only have a problem with their regular coffee and ice coffee. But lattes, pastries, and ice blendeds are a must!

Galina T.
coffee bean rocks. one of the reasons it would be hard to move to the east coast.... no coffee bean there. its no wonder there is one on every corner - Angelenos know tasty coffee.
Easy parking in the morning before 9a. I have never waited more than 3 mins to order and no more the 5 to get my drink.

Carlie C.
when i want a english breakfast tea latte or a sugar free nonfat iced vanilla latte, i will venture down the block to coffee bean for my morning caffiene dose. being gone for a couple of weeks for vacation, i came back to coffee bean, and it was renovated with different patio chairs and to my amazement, they had a oatmeal version of pinkberry where they had a boiling pot of oatmeal and you can choose your toppings. so not only can i order a bagel, but i have several options for a quick breakfast!
(5)
Art O.
My next door neighborhood treated me here,since he works across the street. He bought me a double shot latte and a bagel after dropping him off for work. And I have to say, this place is great! Maybe because it's a high volume location. And the location is well stock! But then again, it's in Beverly Hills.
(5)
K S.
Always liked this one better than N. Beverly. N. Beverly is cramped, service not quite as friendly, and the seating is, well, just plain uncomfortable. This location is larger, laid out better and offers consistent, friendly service. Saulaman is just a nice man!

If you have family or friends from out of town and you want them to spot a bonafide celebrity without paying through the nose at The Ivy -- this is the best place to be. While having coffee with a friend here, we chatted with THE SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN himself Lee Majors (or THE FALL GUY if you prefer) and looked on as Ashton and Demi locked lips like a couple of dorky school kids. Of course, like everyone else said, since this street has The. Worst. Parking. Ever. you have to go early in the morning - that's when the celebs descend there after a night of partying. And just remember: stars love it when you gush all over them and ask them questions about their love lives. Oh and the coffee aint bad.

Sarah J.
so i went here the other day and immediately upon receiving my order and drinking some of it composed this yelp review in my head: did you know that a coffee bean iced coffee is actually 4 shots of espresso over ice? ????because it is!! !!!!!!!!!!!!it is! it totally, totally is!!! Except that in my head this was in all caps and lots of yelling was involved. and now you know. consider yourself forewarned.
(3)
Sean O.
There espresso was pretty good. Smooth. Nice neighborhood, i guess...haha. No, really it was nice to sip some cappuccinos and eat our Sprinkles cupcakes in BH on Sunday morning. The shop looks a little out dated to me, like something out of Full House or 90210. The woods and tin ceiling are much more east coast than LA. I guess this is just the coffee bean's aesthetic. They should go for a different look...didn't really fit into the area. Still a good product on a cool street. Good place to go to refuel.
(4)
Stephen M.
Secretly, I prefer the Bean's espresso to Peet's. Maybe that makes me a lesser person but it's the truth. Not as consistent as Peet's or Starbucks. They've got a breathtaking selection of B.S. candy drinks that can be made with no sugar added powder, which endears my wife to the Bean. The staff at this particular location is ALWAYS friendly, though I'm not always confident about their Barista chops. I don't care to sip my caffeinated brew here: the tables are limited and close-quartered. The outside tables accommodate small well-behaved dogs.
(4)
Nicholas A.
I'm going to give this location really high marks because it has a great layout, there's usually plenty of seating inside and outside. It probably has one of the largest outdoor seating areas I've seen for a coffee shop, the people there are usually really friendly, you get a real sense of the community in Beverly Hills by going there, seems less touristy than the other Coffee Beans. Friendly staff and good drinks.

The coffee bean is a staple in my diet and has been since high school. During summer I am a huge fan of the no sugar added vanilla ice blended drinks. Otherwise, the coffee is tah die for.

I enjoy working here from time to time. The window-seat-table on the East wall is particularly suitable to studying and concentrating in a relaxed-but-caffeinated environment. When I get antsy, I stroll outside and browse around the huge newsstand on the same corner.

Aly S.
I Saw David Beckham outside of this Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf. Wow. Always good for a celebrity sighting, if you're into that. The workers were surpringly real and down to earth, I expected them to be really snooty, considering where it is. The coffee was really good. Just the way coffee should be, tasty and not too complicated.

When I was in B-Hills we were trying to find a nice coffee spot (not starbucks!) to just sit and relax... and this was it! Their coffee is wonderful and bagels are to die for!! This was the first time I've had their coffee since we don't have one in my city. This is a must!!

Mick F.
Im not really from LA, i just go there for bidness about once a month, and this place had me feeling delux for a couple bucks. The storefront is set up almost like a clone of Charbucks, save for the dim light. Surprisingly, i didnt want to slap the crap out of anyone's tanned leathery face because the attitudes there were LOVELY and very cool people. Seating is horrible, as there are a couple tables and an overstuffed chair, and the place is constantly moving. No internet connection in sight though, not even anything to piggyback on. I do like the overstuffed chair, great for soothing your ass after a bad casting call!

Coffee Bean vs SBUX...aahhh a forever comp! Well, this is a great place to be if you can find a good parking spot and just want to chill. Now, if you want fast, snap snap then go across the street to sbux. There are outdoor and indoor seating and the drink selections are great. Wonderful place to just chill and just DO NOTHING...which I love to do. If you just want to do nothing and have a relaxing time, come on by. You'll like this place. However if you are on a go go...don't bother because just to find a parking spot will kill ya...haha.

After going from Coffee Bean to Coffee Bean for 5 years I have never been happier in my life. The staff at this location is unparalleled at every other Coffee Bean in town, I call in my Coffee how I like it every morning and they have it ready for me right when I walk in. I've had so many problems with employees messing up my Coffe or charging me incorrectly because of they way I order my drink, but those days are over. If you like your coffee uniquely catered to your needs this is the only place in town to go to. Parking is usually very easy to find in the morning as well.

Your standard CB&TL with a smallish food selection. Everyone was very friendly and they had some decent after X-mas sales (I scored a travel mug/pound of coffee gift set for $10 - 50% off!). Parking in this part of Bev Hills is always going to be difficult. That's just a fact. It's 10:57 AM as I write this and it's hard to park in Beverly Hills. Both facts. But if you find a parking spot, this CB&TL offers both indoor and outdoor seating and a nice little break from all that shopping you're either doing or undoubtedly about to do.

Brittany F.
In the inevitable Starbucks versus Coffee Bean battle, Coffee Bean takes the cake each and every time for me. Stopped into this coffee bean for a meeting. Love their selection of teas and their drinks in general particularly the pure vanilla ice blended and the Malibu dream ice blended, but what I do not like about this particular Coffee Bean is the horrible parking situation and the terrible wifi. It was practically non-existent. So if you have work to do that requires wifi, go elsewhere. The prices of their drinks are good. They do have a bathroom and service was decent.
(3)
Nijole T.
I am obsessed with Coffee Bean, SO much better than Starbucks! I love their ultimate mocha with crushed chocolate covered coffee beans, not chocolate chips like most other places do. Service is great, coffee came out fast, cute location, clean and well maintained. Prices are average, and the taste just can't be beat!
(5)
Pam C.
Compared to other coffee beans this one is extremely slow. The people are nice but they don't seem to have a good flow. They always seem confused. I wish they would speed it up as this is on my way to work and I come here often.

The service: The service here is fast and pleasant. The atmosphere: The location is centralized to many other business, which is good, but it is also a favorite for students which can make it a little too loud at times. Bathrooms: The bathroom situation is disgusting! First off, it's located behind a door in the back which seemed odd, and second, it's absolutely filthy! There was no toilet paper on the rolls when I used it and the ground looked like someone walked in with muddy boots. The sink had hair in it and the top of a razor...What the?!. That was very disappointing after seeing what the front of the store looked like. Tip: Don't use the restroom here.

I went to grab a cup of coffee with my son a few months ago and truth be told, I was in a shitty mood. The Barista, Yari was at the register and she was in such a great mood, smiling and singing. She took my order and was so bubbly it made me crack a smile. Truth be told, her great vibe rubbed off on me. For the rest of the day I was really good. I now go back often to get my coffee fix and my attitude adjustment. Silly. I know. I'm a vanilla late man with a banana bread. I recommend it!
(5)
Joana F.
Not a fan. Drinks take SOOOO long to get. I came here two times. First time, I had a vanilla blended latte and it was too sweet. I was only able to drink 1/3 of the cup and threw the rest away. Like I stated earlier, it took way too long to make given that there were only 2 other customers in the whole freaking place. I decided to give it another try and ordered sugar free vanilla latte. Again, it took forever and when I took a sip, it was again so sweeet. I asked the barista if this was sugar free and he insisted that it was. I brought it back to the office and asked my co-worker to try it. Her exact words were, "damn this is sweet and i normally love sweet things. but this is even too much for me." This Coffee Bean needs to train their employees on the right way to make drinks. I don't think I will be back and will have no choice but to continue going to Starbucks down the street.

Busy. Busy. But thats to be expected as it is situated at the prime location in Beverly Hills. Sitting outside, inside is a good way to enjoy the desserts, sandwiches or one's favourite latte or ice blended. If one is a coffee drinker, there is a good selection. Tea selection is good. When ordering a chocolate ice blended one can request half with hazelnut or white chocolate. The same request can be served with hot chocolate drinks. Shop. Business. Meet up with friends. Relax. Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf has a great business in the perfect location. However, there are those times at peak hours when parking can be a challenge.

Katie K.
I absolutely love coming here! The iced chai latte is out of this world! The service is always great. Everyone is so helpful and patient. There are days where I want to try something new and they always go out of there way to explain some good choices. There is a lot of room for the location. My husband and I very rarely find it troublesome to find seating. If you are looking for a great scene, great coffee drinks and great service come here! Also, download there app to rack up points and get a free first beverage for becoming a member! Such great perks!

Monae W.
Love this location. The staff knows my name and they always work hard to make my morning coffee routine an enjoyable experience. The outside seating area is great and the seats are plentyful and comfy... And they are constantly keeping everything clean and restocked. The only suggestion I would make to the management is that they should put signs out that say please do not tie your dog up and leave it unattended while getting coffee. It is annoying because dogs are rarely well behaved especially when their owners are getting yummy treats out of eyesight of the dog... Thank you

This Coffee Bean & Tea is in the heart of Beverly Hills and holds a very spacious patio area and inside. The best thing about this place is Wifi, which is really stable and fast, one of the most stable in a public coffee shop I've seen. Service is nice, the baristas were very pleasant and sociable. The tables were clean and spacious as well. The only negative, though is they don't have public restrooms inside so be aware of that if you choose to go here. In either directions there is a Starbucks about half a block away and a Peet's Coffee in the other direction equidistant. I wanted to try their new winter drinks so I stopped by here and got the Toffee Nut Latte, which was really impressive. It rivals Starbucks' Pumpkin Latte as my favorite winter drink, and I'd highly recommend it. Worth going into for this drink if you've never tried.
(4)
Ninus O.
Great location for people watching if you don't mind the daily congregation of seniors hogging the whole patio for hours. Seriously..there should be a max of four hours milling about allowed here. Not to mention they leave the place a mess. So basically it's a bunch of teens and old people here if that's what you're into.

Bianca W.
They are always so nice here in the morning and the service is great. Parking in the front is easy before 8 am,but after that it can get a little crazy. Lunch time is nutty.

Sandee T.
Ahhh, the CB vs. SB vs. PTs continuous debate...it'll never end. Distancing myself from that topic, CB has much better ice-blended drinks than SB, IMHO. It's tastier, seems creamier, and you can get it ULTIMATE-style (add choc-covered espresso beans)! WOA: * I do NOT come here when I need my stronger brews in the mornin's, only for these dessert drinks. * This particular location has meh parking sitch (free lot across the street though). * Interior is small but recently-updated so it's nice. Small patio out front for people watching (you are in Bev Hills).
(4)
Esther L.
This is probably one of the worst CB&TL locations I've been to. Loud, filthy with not so fantastic staff. The only reason I come here is because it's close to my work, it's pretty easy to get indoor seating by an outlet and it closes at 11pm. If you're only planning to work/study till 9pm, I recommend going to Peet's across the street, it's much quieter, the drinks are better and the staff is a lot friendlier.
(2)
Ratika N.
I love this location....parking is tricky and you are lucky if you get a spot in the front. Love that they have lots of indoor and outdoor seating. The service is pretty friendly, though sometimes the woman barista gets a bit annoyed if I ask her for some decaffeinated green tea. I have since figured out they don't carry decaf green tea so I always get stuck with having the African sunrise tea (its hearbal and pretty good) I love having my tea here when I am in the area. The restroom is pretty clean too. Overall, a nice friendly vibe... I normally prefer mom and pop stores but this location doesn't feel like a chain. It's a great place to stop by and have a nice cup of tea.
(4)
Taylor W.
I usually try to avoid major coffee spots like the plague, but I was on a mission looking for a place to charge my phone and there weren't many options nearby. By far the BEST Coffee Bean I have ever stepped foot in. There are tons of outlets to charge and plenty of seats. The staff is extremely friendly! They know theyre regulars by name and look genuinely happy to see them. They have a ton of pastry choices! The multigrain bagel hit the spot today. Extremely happy with my experience here, and will be coming and charging up on carbs and battery life frequently.
(5)
Victoria C.
I'm not sure what all the hype is about. I'd much rather go to Sbux than the Coffee Bean. Sure, I'm a Seattleite and I may be biased, but honestly, I don't even like Sbux all that much. However, compared to the Coffee Bean, Sbux takes the cake. 1. Sbux is cheaper. 2. Sbux has free syrups and soy with the gold card. 3. Sbux has sugar-free syrups. (When I asked if they had sugar-free flavors, the barista said, "well, no, but we can use half the powder instead of all of it." 4. They use powder for flavoring. Weird. 5. Strange taste. I ordered the hazelnut latte and it tasted fake and chemical-y. Not a fan.

Finallly....I meet Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf! I've seen pictures of celebs drinking these coffee drinks and they seem like Starbucks drinks...but wait a minute, what's that?? Purple Straw?! Where is that place...Long and behold I finally figured out it was the Coffee Bean...too bad they are not located on the East Coast. So I knew when I went out to CA, I would have to try it...and I did...several times! Very good quality coffee/lattes. Not as strong as Starbucks...but very good. They offer such an array of take-home coffee and tea-I was astounded! This place really has it's coffee/tea merchandise down! I will miss Coffee Bean...it made me realize, wow other than the cafe culture in New York...us East-Coasters are seriously lacking in our cafe options...
(5)
Marion Z.
Theres some really great people working here who just get it. My boss was sick and I had to get a somewhat involved order I needed to pick up for two weeks straight and never caught any slack. They even recommended a specific kind of tea for getting over a cold. I really appreciated it. Big ups to this CB&TL
(5)
Samantha C.
Tried their new-ish latte macciato and I literally gagged on it. They put in waaayy to much syrup and it was sickly sweet and undrinkable. A complete waste of $4+. Their regular lattes are fine, although I take issue with getting only one shot of espresso in the small latte (you get two shots in a small at Bristol Farms up the street on Beverly Boulevard). The best part is the shop itself. It's a pleasant, soothing, clean environment with lots of seating. The staff is nice too.

Nancy T.
This location of Coffee Bean is extra exceptional!!! Since it's located in trendy Beverly Hills, they even serve yogurt parfaits, oatmeal, and frozen yogurt (similar to Pinkberry) on their menu, which I haven't seen at most other Coffee Bean locations! I also noticed they have a WIDE selection of pastries here - moreso than anywhere else! As usual, their tea lattes are super yummy!!!!!

Generally, I think you can sum up Beverly Hills coffee something like this. (big name coffee shops only, higher end cafés are another discussion... I'm talking on the go coffee!) Coffee Bean is worse than Peets but better than Starbucks. BAM. Yea. That's right, I said it! Ha. No need to go into details, I'm sure you can figure it out. ... You know what I'm going to do it anyway! muahaha 1. Coffee Bean = smoothies, blended/sweet coffee drinks // shittiest drip coffee of the three // worse pastries than Peets but better than Starbucks 2.Starbucks = sub-par smoothies // shitty drop coffee but a tiny bit better than the Coffee Bean // strange smell that exudes the essence of artificiality or something of the likes 3. Peets = real, dark, strong legit drip coffee // good pastries, nothing compared to Urth but good... but thats neither here nor there... it's the best of the 3 in discussion anyway... // don't bother with the smoothie/blended coffee drinks at Peets... if that is your thing than do one of the other two... Peets is for real coffee drinkers... i LOVE their ice coffee... not all watered down like that Coffee Bean/Starbucks B.S. ... // staff at Peets is actually attentive and pleasant to be around... not like these strange, off-putting creeps you tend to encounter at lesser establishments (::cough::, ::cough::).... Good luck finding what is best for you!
(2)John V.
Good coffee at a good price. Nothing extra ordinary about it. Standard coffee house service, everything is nice and clean, coffee tastes good, and they're relatively quick. I mostly just get drip coffee and tend to stay away from the "fancy" coffees. I'm not a tea drinker so I can't comment on it.

*****update***** I absolutely adore this coffee bean more than any other. Sidebar: I used to go to Urth caffe every single day but gave that up (as well as other regulars) because staff changed drastically and wait time has extended even longer! Anyway this CBTL is extra bonus special times because the staff is INCREDIBLE. they are sooooo friggin friendly. I adore Sal, Jackie, Pancha, and most of the long term morning crew. Love the morning doggy owner regulars even if it makes it a lil more difficult for me to bring my new puppy. But that's MY puppies fault, cause he's the one who is the a-hole and is getting ready to get trained. See you tomorrow guys! Xo Great seating. Dog and kid friendly. Obviously better than Starbucks and easier to get a drink than Urth Cafe.
(5)cassina Q.
Yes, it is a chain coffee shop but hey I love the coffee and tea here! In my opinion...way better then starbucks! I would pick a coffee bean and tea over a starbucks any day...I just wish they had more locations out there like starbucks that are on every freakin corner! My fav here would have to be the blended caramel...yummmmy!!!!! You can taste the coffee, the caramel, the goodness! Doesn't really have the taste or feel of a chain because seriously, it's like rare to find one of these damn places! Really irritating. If you do find yourself in a coffee bean and tea leaf definitely give the blended caramel...hope you fall in love like I have =)

Went here on a cold afternoon with my husband. We loved the seating arrangement and how everything was laid out. There are some sofa chairs around the fireplace and makes you feel like you are relaxing at a comfortable lounge. He got a yogurt (which he loved), a vanilla blended drink, he used to get the mocha but decided this one he had was the best he's had and I got a pre made tuna sandwich. The sandwich was very tasty. It was light on mayo and the sweetness and crunch of the apple was a great combination, the sandwich looks small, but it really is filling. You can't go wrong with CBTL.

Fast, competent service. A lot of indoor and outdoor seating. I heart mocha and hazelnut Ice Blendeds!
(5)Danielle H.
If you want a great latte, go here! I really recommend the Passion tea latte! It's amazing. And I love their pastries. It's affordable and tasty. I only have a problem with their regular coffee and ice coffee. But lattes, pastries, and ice blendeds are a must!
(4)Galina T.
coffee bean rocks. one of the reasons it would be hard to move to the east coast.... no coffee bean there. its no wonder there is one on every corner - Angelenos know tasty coffee.
(5)Stephanie P.
There is a special place in my heart for the Coffee Bean - which I miss desperately now that I'm no longer in LA. I thought this location on S. Beverly was particularly good for sitting outside and people watching. And I'm not quite sure what is better than people watching at the Bean. (Okay, maybe going to the Urth Café afterwards and continuing the people watching.) I'm partial to the no sugar added Ice Blended Vanilla or their lattés. A high quality product that needs to make its way to Chicago....stat!
(5)David Z.
Easy parking in the morning before 9a. I have never waited more than 3 mins to order and no more the 5 to get my drink.
(5)Carlie C.
when i want a english breakfast tea latte or a sugar free nonfat iced vanilla latte, i will venture down the block to coffee bean for my morning caffiene dose. being gone for a couple of weeks for vacation, i came back to coffee bean, and it was renovated with different patio chairs and to my amazement, they had a oatmeal version of pinkberry where they had a boiling pot of oatmeal and you can choose your toppings. so not only can i order a bagel, but i have several options for a quick breakfast!
(5)Art O.
My next door neighborhood treated me here,since he works across the street. He bought me a double shot latte and a bagel after dropping him off for work. And I have to say, this place is great! Maybe because it's a high volume location. And the location is well stock! But then again, it's in Beverly Hills.
(5)K S.
Always liked this one better than N. Beverly. N. Beverly is cramped, service not quite as friendly, and the seating is, well, just plain uncomfortable. This location is larger, laid out better and offers consistent, friendly service. Saulaman is just a nice man!
(4)Nicole B.
My favorite Coffee bean by far! I've never had a bad cup of coffee here. The staff are helpful, nice, and quick. It's always clean and luckily open later than a few others.
(5)Ed C.
If you have family or friends from out of town and you want them to spot a bonafide celebrity without paying through the nose at The Ivy -- this is the best place to be. While having coffee with a friend here, we chatted with THE SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN himself Lee Majors (or THE FALL GUY if you prefer) and looked on as Ashton and Demi locked lips like a couple of dorky school kids. Of course, like everyone else said, since this street has The. Worst. Parking. Ever. you have to go early in the morning - that's when the celebs descend there after a night of partying. And just remember: stars love it when you gush all over them and ask them questions about their love lives. Oh and the coffee aint bad.
(3)Sarah J.
so i went here the other day and immediately upon receiving my order and drinking some of it composed this yelp review in my head: did you know that a coffee bean iced coffee is actually 4 shots of espresso over ice? ????because it is!! !!!!!!!!!!!!it is! it totally, totally is!!! Except that in my head this was in all caps and lots of yelling was involved. and now you know. consider yourself forewarned.
(3)Sean O.
There espresso was pretty good. Smooth. Nice neighborhood, i guess...haha. No, really it was nice to sip some cappuccinos and eat our Sprinkles cupcakes in BH on Sunday morning. The shop looks a little out dated to me, like something out of Full House or 90210. The woods and tin ceiling are much more east coast than LA. I guess this is just the coffee bean's aesthetic. They should go for a different look...didn't really fit into the area. Still a good product on a cool street. Good place to go to refuel.
(4)Stephen M.
Secretly, I prefer the Bean's espresso to Peet's. Maybe that makes me a lesser person but it's the truth. Not as consistent as Peet's or Starbucks. They've got a breathtaking selection of B.S. candy drinks that can be made with no sugar added powder, which endears my wife to the Bean. The staff at this particular location is ALWAYS friendly, though I'm not always confident about their Barista chops. I don't care to sip my caffeinated brew here: the tables are limited and close-quartered. The outside tables accommodate small well-behaved dogs.
(4)Nicholas A.
I'm going to give this location really high marks because it has a great layout, there's usually plenty of seating inside and outside. It probably has one of the largest outdoor seating areas I've seen for a coffee shop, the people there are usually really friendly, you get a real sense of the community in Beverly Hills by going there, seems less touristy than the other Coffee Beans. Friendly staff and good drinks.
(4)A M.
The coffee bean is a staple in my diet and has been since high school. During summer I am a huge fan of the no sugar added vanilla ice blended drinks. Otherwise, the coffee is tah die for.
(4)David M.
I enjoy working here from time to time. The window-seat-table on the East wall is particularly suitable to studying and concentrating in a relaxed-but-caffeinated environment. When I get antsy, I stroll outside and browse around the huge newsstand on the same corner.
(4)Aly S.
I Saw David Beckham outside of this Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf. Wow. Always good for a celebrity sighting, if you're into that. The workers were surpringly real and down to earth, I expected them to be really snooty, considering where it is. The coffee was really good. Just the way coffee should be, tasty and not too complicated.
(5)Kevin L.
STRONG brew, no bitterness!
(5)Danielle B.
When I was in B-Hills we were trying to find a nice coffee spot (not starbucks!) to just sit and relax... and this was it! Their coffee is wonderful and bagels are to die for!! This was the first time I've had their coffee since we don't have one in my city. This is a must!!
(5)Mick F.
Im not really from LA, i just go there for bidness about once a month, and this place had me feeling delux for a couple bucks. The storefront is set up almost like a clone of Charbucks, save for the dim light. Surprisingly, i didnt want to slap the crap out of anyone's tanned leathery face because the attitudes there were LOVELY and very cool people. Seating is horrible, as there are a couple tables and an overstuffed chair, and the place is constantly moving. No internet connection in sight though, not even anything to piggyback on. I do like the overstuffed chair, great for soothing your ass after a bad casting call!
(4)Y E.
great for spending an a'noon working at a nice terrace while people watching.
(4)Kelly L.
Relaxing...love this place. Thank Goodness it's near by home. Yey...caffeine! After a day like today...I need some coffee love.
(5)Laura C.
Love the mini donuts trio - kept me going throughout the day! Great large table for studying - would definitely come back. If only parking around the area was cheaper! I'm not a big fan on their drinks though ... I've had much better chai elsewhere.
(3)J S.
Coffee Bean vs SBUX...aahhh a forever comp! Well, this is a great place to be if you can find a good parking spot and just want to chill. Now, if you want fast, snap snap then go across the street to sbux. There are outdoor and indoor seating and the drink selections are great. Wonderful place to just chill and just DO NOTHING...which I love to do. If you just want to do nothing and have a relaxing time, come on by. You'll like this place. However if you are on a go go...don't bother because just to find a parking spot will kill ya...haha.
(4)Dori D.
My favorite go to for coffee. Always thought it was better than Starbucks ands not near as snotty. Even being in Beverly Hills it was great!
(4)David Y.
After going from Coffee Bean to Coffee Bean for 5 years I have never been happier in my life. The staff at this location is unparalleled at every other Coffee Bean in town, I call in my Coffee how I like it every morning and they have it ready for me right when I walk in. I've had so many problems with employees messing up my Coffe or charging me incorrectly because of they way I order my drink, but those days are over. If you like your coffee uniquely catered to your needs this is the only place in town to go to. Parking is usually very easy to find in the morning as well.
(5)Alex B.
Great little place. Stuff is very nice. Love the location. A lot of space outside which I love.
(5)Crystal L.
Your standard CB&TL with a smallish food selection. Everyone was very friendly and they had some decent after X-mas sales (I scored a travel mug/pound of coffee gift set for $10 - 50% off!). Parking in this part of Bev Hills is always going to be difficult. That's just a fact. It's 10:57 AM as I write this and it's hard to park in Beverly Hills. Both facts. But if you find a parking spot, this CB&TL offers both indoor and outdoor seating and a nice little break from all that shopping you're either doing or undoubtedly about to do.
(4)Brittany F.
In the inevitable Starbucks versus Coffee Bean battle, Coffee Bean takes the cake each and every time for me. Stopped into this coffee bean for a meeting. Love their selection of teas and their drinks in general particularly the pure vanilla ice blended and the Malibu dream ice blended, but what I do not like about this particular Coffee Bean is the horrible parking situation and the terrible wifi. It was practically non-existent. So if you have work to do that requires wifi, go elsewhere. The prices of their drinks are good. They do have a bathroom and service was decent.
(3)Nijole T.
I am obsessed with Coffee Bean, SO much better than Starbucks! I love their ultimate mocha with crushed chocolate covered coffee beans, not chocolate chips like most other places do. Service is great, coffee came out fast, cute location, clean and well maintained. Prices are average, and the taste just can't be beat!
(5)Pam C.
Compared to other coffee beans this one is extremely slow. The people are nice but they don't seem to have a good flow. They always seem confused. I wish they would speed it up as this is on my way to work and I come here often.
(2)La Trim And Rugs Inc. L.
Good location and nice staff. I love African sun rise herbal tea at night that relaxes me and I usually have a good night sleep after that. Chi tea latte is great for morning that keeps me up whole day.
(4)Mehryar E.
Just got my free drink by using the app. Service is always great. 5 stars all the way.
(5)Ana B.
The service: The service here is fast and pleasant. The atmosphere: The location is centralized to many other business, which is good, but it is also a favorite for students which can make it a little too loud at times. Bathrooms: The bathroom situation is disgusting! First off, it's located behind a door in the back which seemed odd, and second, it's absolutely filthy! There was no toilet paper on the rolls when I used it and the ground looked like someone walked in with muddy boots. The sink had hair in it and the top of a razor...What the?!. That was very disappointing after seeing what the front of the store looked like. Tip: Don't use the restroom here.
(2)L R.
I went to grab a cup of coffee with my son a few months ago and truth be told, I was in a shitty mood. The Barista, Yari was at the register and she was in such a great mood, smiling and singing. She took my order and was so bubbly it made me crack a smile. Truth be told, her great vibe rubbed off on me. For the rest of the day I was really good. I now go back often to get my coffee fix and my attitude adjustment. Silly. I know. I'm a vanilla late man with a banana bread. I recommend it!
(5)Joana F.
Not a fan. Drinks take SOOOO long to get. I came here two times. First time, I had a vanilla blended latte and it was too sweet. I was only able to drink 1/3 of the cup and threw the rest away. Like I stated earlier, it took way too long to make given that there were only 2 other customers in the whole freaking place. I decided to give it another try and ordered sugar free vanilla latte. Again, it took forever and when I took a sip, it was again so sweeet. I asked the barista if this was sugar free and he insisted that it was. I brought it back to the office and asked my co-worker to try it. Her exact words were, "damn this is sweet and i normally love sweet things. but this is even too much for me." This Coffee Bean needs to train their employees on the right way to make drinks. I don't think I will be back and will have no choice but to continue going to Starbucks down the street.
(1)Woof W.
Busy. Busy. But thats to be expected as it is situated at the prime location in Beverly Hills. Sitting outside, inside is a good way to enjoy the desserts, sandwiches or one's favourite latte or ice blended. If one is a coffee drinker, there is a good selection. Tea selection is good. When ordering a chocolate ice blended one can request half with hazelnut or white chocolate. The same request can be served with hot chocolate drinks. Shop. Business. Meet up with friends. Relax. Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf has a great business in the perfect location. However, there are those times at peak hours when parking can be a challenge.
(5)Katie K.
I absolutely love coming here! The iced chai latte is out of this world! The service is always great. Everyone is so helpful and patient. There are days where I want to try something new and they always go out of there way to explain some good choices. There is a lot of room for the location. My husband and I very rarely find it troublesome to find seating. If you are looking for a great scene, great coffee drinks and great service come here! Also, download there app to rack up points and get a free first beverage for becoming a member! Such great perks!
(5)Monae W.
Love this location. The staff knows my name and they always work hard to make my morning coffee routine an enjoyable experience. The outside seating area is great and the seats are plentyful and comfy... And they are constantly keeping everything clean and restocked. The only suggestion I would make to the management is that they should put signs out that say please do not tie your dog up and leave it unattended while getting coffee. It is annoying because dogs are rarely well behaved especially when their owners are getting yummy treats out of eyesight of the dog... Thank you
(5)Alice C.
Love the location - people watch Love the friendly staff - no attitude at all! Love the coffee and teas
(5)K M.
Ordered 3 mini donuts; when I checked my bag at home, I only had 2. The people who work here need to learn how to count.
(1)Nina N.
SAL is literally the man who runs this place, he knows a lot of people and he makes the drinks super fast since he knows all the regulars and their drinks!
(5)Nelson F.
This Coffee Bean & Tea is in the heart of Beverly Hills and holds a very spacious patio area and inside. The best thing about this place is Wifi, which is really stable and fast, one of the most stable in a public coffee shop I've seen. Service is nice, the baristas were very pleasant and sociable. The tables were clean and spacious as well. The only negative, though is they don't have public restrooms inside so be aware of that if you choose to go here. In either directions there is a Starbucks about half a block away and a Peet's Coffee in the other direction equidistant. I wanted to try their new winter drinks so I stopped by here and got the Toffee Nut Latte, which was really impressive. It rivals Starbucks' Pumpkin Latte as my favorite winter drink, and I'd highly recommend it. Worth going into for this drink if you've never tried.
(4)Ninus O.
Great location for people watching if you don't mind the daily congregation of seniors hogging the whole patio for hours. Seriously..there should be a max of four hours milling about allowed here. Not to mention they leave the place a mess. So basically it's a bunch of teens and old people here if that's what you're into.
(2)Bianca W.
They are always so nice here in the morning and the service is great. Parking in the front is easy before 8 am,but after that it can get a little crazy. Lunch time is nutty.
(4)Sandee T.
Ahhh, the CB vs. SB vs. PTs continuous debate...it'll never end. Distancing myself from that topic, CB has much better ice-blended drinks than SB, IMHO. It's tastier, seems creamier, and you can get it ULTIMATE-style (add choc-covered espresso beans)! WOA: * I do NOT come here when I need my stronger brews in the mornin's, only for these dessert drinks. * This particular location has meh parking sitch (free lot across the street though). * Interior is small but recently-updated so it's nice. Small patio out front for people watching (you are in Bev Hills).
(4)Esther L.
This is probably one of the worst CB&TL locations I've been to. Loud, filthy with not so fantastic staff. The only reason I come here is because it's close to my work, it's pretty easy to get indoor seating by an outlet and it closes at 11pm. If you're only planning to work/study till 9pm, I recommend going to Peet's across the street, it's much quieter, the drinks are better and the staff is a lot friendlier.
(2)Ratika N.
I love this location....parking is tricky and you are lucky if you get a spot in the front. Love that they have lots of indoor and outdoor seating. The service is pretty friendly, though sometimes the woman barista gets a bit annoyed if I ask her for some decaffeinated green tea. I have since figured out they don't carry decaf green tea so I always get stuck with having the African sunrise tea (its hearbal and pretty good) I love having my tea here when I am in the area. The restroom is pretty clean too. Overall, a nice friendly vibe... I normally prefer mom and pop stores but this location doesn't feel like a chain. It's a great place to stop by and have a nice cup of tea.
(4)Taylor W.
I usually try to avoid major coffee spots like the plague, but I was on a mission looking for a place to charge my phone and there weren't many options nearby. By far the BEST Coffee Bean I have ever stepped foot in. There are tons of outlets to charge and plenty of seats. The staff is extremely friendly! They know theyre regulars by name and look genuinely happy to see them. They have a ton of pastry choices! The multigrain bagel hit the spot today. Extremely happy with my experience here, and will be coming and charging up on carbs and battery life frequently.
(5)Victoria C.
I'm not sure what all the hype is about. I'd much rather go to Sbux than the Coffee Bean. Sure, I'm a Seattleite and I may be biased, but honestly, I don't even like Sbux all that much. However, compared to the Coffee Bean, Sbux takes the cake. 1. Sbux is cheaper. 2. Sbux has free syrups and soy with the gold card. 3. Sbux has sugar-free syrups. (When I asked if they had sugar-free flavors, the barista said, "well, no, but we can use half the powder instead of all of it." 4. They use powder for flavoring. Weird. 5. Strange taste. I ordered the hazelnut latte and it tasted fake and chemical-y. Not a fan.
(2)Betsy P.
This is my favorite location. There is usually parking right in front and often there is no line at all. Always somewhere to sit.
(5)Samantha K.
The location is good, but it can get noisy inside at times. Not a good place to study.
(3)Cindy F.
Great spot in BH for a quick java! Plus, you can park for free for 2 hours underground across the street. Nice little area to sit outside, too.
(4)Courtnay L.
Good quick service. Great people watching seating outside.
(4)Steven L.
Great place to unwind and people watch or even pop open your laptop and get some work in! Friendly staff and easy 2 hour free parking across the street!
(5)Dth S.
omgggg i LUV this coffee bean even tho there are other ones closer to me!! so whenever i'm in this part of town, i like to just sit and people watch plus everyone here's so friedly! i LUV this location!
(4)Michele O.
I like the new design of this store! The outside is perfect place to sit and enjoy your latte if you can find a seat.
(5)Kevin D.
Good locations and good coffee... But the music was blasting. Way too loud. Are they trying to drive people out?
(3)Morgan D.
Finallly....I meet Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf! I've seen pictures of celebs drinking these coffee drinks and they seem like Starbucks drinks...but wait a minute, what's that?? Purple Straw?! Where is that place...Long and behold I finally figured out it was the Coffee Bean...too bad they are not located on the East Coast. So I knew when I went out to CA, I would have to try it...and I did...several times! Very good quality coffee/lattes. Not as strong as Starbucks...but very good. They offer such an array of take-home coffee and tea-I was astounded! This place really has it's coffee/tea merchandise down! I will miss Coffee Bean...it made me realize, wow other than the cafe culture in New York...us East-Coasters are seriously lacking in our cafe options...
(5)Marion Z.
Theres some really great people working here who just get it. My boss was sick and I had to get a somewhat involved order I needed to pick up for two weeks straight and never caught any slack. They even recommended a specific kind of tea for getting over a cold. I really appreciated it. Big ups to this CB&TL
(5)Samantha C.
Tried their new-ish latte macciato and I literally gagged on it. They put in waaayy to much syrup and it was sickly sweet and undrinkable. A complete waste of $4+. Their regular lattes are fine, although I take issue with getting only one shot of espresso in the small latte (you get two shots in a small at Bristol Farms up the street on Beverly Boulevard). The best part is the shop itself. It's a pleasant, soothing, clean environment with lots of seating. The staff is nice too.
(3)Nancy T.
This location of Coffee Bean is extra exceptional!!! Since it's located in trendy Beverly Hills, they even serve yogurt parfaits, oatmeal, and frozen yogurt (similar to Pinkberry) on their menu, which I haven't seen at most other Coffee Bean locations! I also noticed they have a WIDE selection of pastries here - moreso than anywhere else! As usual, their tea lattes are super yummy!!!!!
(4)Cassidy W.
Hands down I would choose Coffee Bean over Starbucks any day. Their drinks taste way better and they have great seating where you can bring your pets along.
(4)Eric H.
This is where all the homeless on S. Beverly Drive go to use the bathroom. Staff here doesn't seem to care. For those who don't know, S. Beverly Drive is turning into a bit of a skid row, due to stores like Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf apathy.
