The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf

The place looks great. It's new so everything looks polished and modern. There's just a limited space inside so better hang out outside. Their iced coffee tastes ok though I'll go with their hot beverages that goes well with their pastries. Try their big scones which is so yummy and filling. Eat it with less sugar or non-sweetened coffee and enjoy.

If I want a place to think, relax and just kill time, I always dropped by to this particular coffee shop. The crowd is minimal, the crew are very helpful and is always willing to assist the customers. The downside,pasta is not offered here and compared to other branches the variety on their menu is limited.

The toilet in this branch has been under repair for the past 2 weeks, and if you arrive past 9pm, the ones at the adjacent Velasquez carpark would have been closed too. You'll be left with no place to pee nearby, and they offer no alternatives as well. How do you manage, then?

It's one of their smaller branches I've seen in the city, and it can fill up pretty quickly indoors. Too bad, since it occupies a nice quiet corner of the Four Seasons condo building and looks out onto Velasquez park. I've often met people here for small meetings and they're always productive - wifi is good, and talking volumes remain low. Yesterday night however they seemed down to only two selections of brewed tea...a little disappointing. I wanted a non-black tea option, and I wasn't in the mood for mint tea. Hope this is addressed.I'm happy to report that the rest room at this branch of CBTL is finally open and working and very clean.

I keep this coffee shop in mind whenever I'm in this area. I get the usual CBTL food/cofee, free wi-fi with an electrical outlet or 2, some distance from the busy Makati Ayala area.There was one time I noticed that their salad is a bit smaller than the usual Chinese Chicken Salad (less lettuce) & the White Chocolate Dream that was served was a bit colder than the CBTL standard. I no longer complained because at least I didn't have to let my coffee get a bit cold before I take my first sip. However, 30 minutes later, the coffee was just eew! I didn't even finish my favorite drink. I should have complained when I first noticed that it wasn't hot CBTL's standard.Taste - 3.5Value for Money - 4Service - 3.5Ambience - 4.5

I like their ice blended beverage specially their white chocolate dream. Unlike other coffee shops who have limited food choices, CBTL has better options. Love their spanish sardines pandesal. There is nothing special with their tomato and herb linguine though.

Since this branch easily gets full, it's ideal to have your coffee to go. It's small and this is the only branch within the area that is dominated by 3 starbucks.They also have free wifi as compared to Starbucks, so if you're lucky you can chilax while browsing the net and drinking your coffee/tea.Tried their new vanilla almond latte. But I still prefer their double vanilla tea latte.

Going out for a working lunch? Or maybe some me time devotion?CBTL (Anywhere) offers impeccable and consistent brand standard customer service. The servers, generally, are genuinely cheerful everytime even on a busy shift. The food is simple, light, tasty and refreshing. Just perfect for an on-the-go work week lunch.My favs would be spicy chicken salad, chinese chicken oriental salad, eggs ben with chicken ham and double chocolate latte.Being a CBTL member, you get 5 points for every 100 peso purchase plus free wifi access. What's awesome is that part of their proceeds go to Reallife Foundation -- an org that gives school scholarship to those who can't afford.

I love everything about this coffee shop.  From the interiors, to the friendly staffs and to the great drinks and food.  This is one of my favorite place to hang out and chill.  After a long day at work, I love to stay here to unwind and relax.  On their Hot drinks,I simply love their Hazelnut Latte and on the Ice-blended side, I have been their fan since day one of their Double Chocolate.  When it comes to Cakes and Pastries, I have tried their Chicago, Blueberry and Triple Decker Cheesecakes and they're all a winner to me.  I have also tried their Oatmeal Raisin Cookie and Blueberry Muffin.  I am very satisfied with the taste and it's size.  When it comes to Pasta, I have tried their Sardine and Garlic Linguine and Spicy Tuna Linguine.  They're both very delectable.  I am looking forward to try their Spinach and Cheese Ravioli  and the Roast Chicken and Mushroom Fusilli.  I will most definitely try both of them the next time I drop by.

Coming from a 4 day Singapore got me all filled up. So for late lunch, I opted for a light and healthy fix of Coffee Bean’s Chicken Caesar with side salad paired with a cup of African Sunrise Tea Latte. It was a truly satisfying combination. These two pieces are actually one of my go-to orders whenever I visit their store. Sometimes I just go for Caesar Salad with Chicken. When am in a hurry, I have their Sardine Feta Pandesal heated quick. Are you more of Coffee Bean or Starbucks? What makes you pick the other? Care to share?
