- Jesse JohnstonNovember 17, 2014Woohoo, Coffee Bean in South Bay! If you've never been to LA, Phoenix, etc., these are on most street corners like Starbucks but the coffee and atmosphere are both 10x that of their big brother.
I might be in the minority, but CBTL beats Starbucks in almost every category. The Caramel Cappucino or Lattes are obscenely good.
Stephanie OrmeJune 10, 2019You can get blended drinks as iced lattes if you prefer. And the staff is incredibly friendly.
Kevin PrattNovember 25, 2014The Costa Rica beans have a traditional flavor in a pleasing way. The body is mild with chocolate bitterness and sweet and bright acidity. Notes of pecan.
gail.September 10, 2014This chain is my great love from my college days in LA,. Great spot to relax on the patio or get work done (power outets abound).
Coffee and service are great. The lighting and vibe could use some love. It’s always so dark in here.- The Black Forest Ice Blended is god's gift to frozen drinks. Cherries + dark chocolate espresso beans = life.
- Kevin PrattNovember 24, 2014Bali Blue Moon has a strong earthy flavor, making the mouth the most noticeable feature. The body is sweet and not acidic from extra roasting. Overall, flavorful ans sweet.
Angelyn WilliamsSeptember 1, 2014Most items have dairy in them except for Soy Milk. Flavorings are in powder form and have dairy as well.
So excited for their first South Bay location!! 😁 Valley Fair is next! They use a vanilla power for their vanilla lattes that is a-mazing.
New holidays season drink for hot chocolate fans: Red velvet hot chocolate. Milky, creamy, and tasty.
This place is great! Better frozen blended ice drinks than Starbucks in my opinion
Barbara BrooksJanuary 3, 2014So cool that they have phone chargers and electrical outlets on the big table inside :))
Harini SaladiSeptember 23, 2013Get the espresso macchiato if you need a swift kick in the back to wake up in the morning :D
Raffy Luna-VasquezNovember 30, 2013Friendly staffs and patience with us being Deaf. Big Thumbs Up!!!
Vanilla Ice Blendeds are the best! Just hate this is such a trek from my house!
Ellie liaoFebruary 28, 2014Great for study and work. Sufficient power outlets throughout the store. White tea latte tastes like chia tea latte. Not my thing.
Alma BuruJuly 2, 2017Patio is nice, indoor is too noisy and not much place to sit, caramel latte tastes like shit with burnt sugar.
Pomegranate blueberry tea latte tastes like fruity pebbles.
Malyssa GilliamOctober 5, 2013Don't bother with the "blood orange" tea. It doesn't taste anything like it should.
