Now I don't know if this is the right place, but this is for the branch near Motorino and Wildflour... My friends and I crossed the street from the busy Fort Strip for some peace and quiet. We were all surprised to find out that Passion was already closed-- too bad. But we were really gunning for CBTL anyway. We entered the huge store and claimed a table for 5. The staff were very patient with the 5 noisy people, indecisive about their orders. I had my favorite Double Vanilla Tea latte (I like all of their tea lattes actually) and the rest had various kinds of tea or tea lattes. They have superior tea lattes over any other coffee shop, IMO...Anyway, my friends also ordered the Salted Caramel pancakes (not offered in all branches). Three pancakes topped with pieces of chocolate, whipped cream, and lots of salted caramel sauce. The sauce was too sweet (where's the salted part?) and cloying and the pancakes were not too fluffy... Not recommending the pancakes! Not recommending the honey bran muffin either, since I'm at it... This is one of their nicest branches ever since, open and inviting, with a clean restroom and fast wifi... It is always packed though!😊

Ordered the Bistro Fish and Chips. Wasn't happy with my order. It was soggy, reminded me of kikiam...but was below my expectations. They seemed to have modified this dish with indian spices. The actual battered fish had a distinct flavor and the tartar sauce did not taste like the traditional tartar sauce. Their bolognese was just okay. Their herbed chicken was tasty. The only things i enjoyed was its ambience, staff was friendly, and the turtle pie dessert (must-try).

In this post: Thai Tea Latte (hot and iced), Thai Tea Ice Blended, Roast Chicken & Mushroom Fusilli, Triple Decker Cheesecake  My visit at the KidZania branch of The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf last September 11, 2017 was welcomed with new and exciting drinks -- the Thai Tea Latte and the Thai Tea Ice Blended! Before we go to the drinks, I just like to mention that it's my first time to go in this branch. You can find it at the ground floor of KidZania, along 34th Street. It's spacious yet managed to be cozy. At the time I visited, there were not much customers. I'm not sure if that's the usual volume as the location is not so visible, but if it is, then it's a nice hangout place as it doesn't get really crowded.

Meet the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf®’s (CBTL) newest offering for 2016, the Vanilla Almond Latte and Ice Blended Beverage. CBTL starts the year with a light and sweet note, the Almond Latte being the first of four featured beverages for the year. The coffee authority definitely does not disappoint its loyal patrons as it gifts them with yet another comforting beverage that combines the brand’s signature rich espresso with a creamy French Deluxe™ Vanilla and almond sauce.

Having a late meeting with an Awesome business friend at an awesome tea latte cafe. :) As client is close by we ended up having a meeting at this awesome place. Branch is a reasonable size with a homey relaxing feel to it, like most stores. Good amount of tables and benches. Tonight was awesome because the branch had less people in it, which was better for our meeting. Could not resist on ordering one of my favorite hot drinks which is the Chai Tea Latte..... #AwesomelyRelaxing!

This CBTL get higher points for having a neighborhood-ly feel that the other branches which get mostly the mall-type crowds. Coffee places have often lost its appeal when the demographics it attracts lacks breeding and a sense of space.Just off the BHS trail and across the Fort Strip, this location is the best place to catch up with friends over coffee (or hot tea) if you are not into the "other" popular coffee brand. Personally, I like their Brewed Coffee better than the others or even the Chai Tea Latte. Mostly I get their Hot Tea (Moroccan Mint, Strawberry Cream, Ginseng Peppermint or Cherry Blossom) of which you could have your cup filled with hot water after you're done with the first steeping.

I arrived way too early for my meeting so I decided to hang out here to get some work done. I ordered a Double Hot Chocolate (Php130 for small, rich and creamy with marshmallows!) and sat at the table at the back as it’s the only place with a power socket where I could plug my laptop. It’s also the place that gets most of the morning sun so it took some manoeuvring to find a comfortable position. It did give me cool unfiltered pics, though. :-)

When thinking of a breakfast place that sets you up for a great day ahead, you may not think of CBTL. The branch at Kidzania Manila is quiet and comfortable. In house music is never bothersome. Coffee is the best. And the Brek O Day is quite good. Sausages are Hotel quality, eggs are scrambled fluffy perfect, the salad on the side is fresh and light, and the bagel is competent. Good morning!
