A Pinoy Photo Food Blog
In a world where the hierarchy of taste is usually determined by what’s brand new – nothing provides more satisfaction than classic flavors delivered with a distinct twist.
This is why, nearly 50 years since its inception, the distinct blends, down-home flavors and cozy ambiance continue to remain the main draws for The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, who has gone on to indulge the palate of millions across the globe.
As the oldest and largest privately held specialty coffee and tea retailer in the United States, The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf’s commitment to quality is evident with every sip of their finely brewed coffee and tea mixes.
“Our company is probably one of the few establishments whose exceptional drinks can be attributed to our efforts to directly source superior tea leaves and coffee beans from all over the world,” says The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf’s Marketing Director Paolo Del Rosario “As well as process and brewing these ingredients fresh daily.”
Innovation is of course, a significant part of the company’s success. In fact, the perennial favorite ice blended coffee drinks available today were first served by The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf as far back as the 80s.
Today, their specially trademarked Ice Blended® is created starting with their secret coffee extract, which refine their specialty coffees to bring out the richest and most concentrated flavors, and mixed with their specially processed ice to produce a smooth and unique drink.
Trimmed with its trademark oak and tea chest paneled walls, The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf’s interiors draw customers in by virtue of its intimate and inviting décor. Complemented by an attentive service team, a chockfull of amenities, gourmet menu selections and delectable dessert choices, it’s easy to indulge with your favorite cup of coffee or tea within its relaxing and home-like appeal.
Indeed, it is The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf’s decades old understanding of their craft that allows them to deliver exceptionally. And for the gastronomic experience like no other, it is truly the place where cult favorites, best-loved infusions and innovative new brews are available in every soothing cup.

I am a Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf-aholic since 2004.
My friends know that I am not fond of Starbucks. If I ever visit a place, I am willing to forego coffee or tea if there are no CBTLs around the area. That’s how loyal I am.
Believe it or not, I go to CBTL every single day. And one of my greatest dreams is to go to CBTL in West Hollywood.
Right now, everyone’s going crazy over Starbucks’ 2009 Planner while I’m going crazy over CBTL’s notebooks.

CBTL’s Ice blended is the Best!
And you can hang out at any CBTL and suck out their juice for your laptop and nobody’ll flag you hehe (well at least nobody has flagged me yet).
CBTL’s Greenbelt branch is a usual haunt — business meeting, grad school meetups with classmates, all-day aral session. Just hate it though if may natutulog sa mga plush chairs, pet peeve ko tlaga yun.
There was an interview before with the local owners of CBTL, fave design nila yung CBTL at Alabang Town Center. On a good day or night cute nga sya, nasa gitna kse, may deck, may “moat”…there are times nga lang na it’s so noisy since you’re surrounded by mallgoers.
My friends said among the big chain coffee shops, masang-masa na kase ang Starbucks, Seattle’s and GJ’s offerings are limited…so CBTL provides great value – good food, enough choices, great ambiance, and great drinks
