Hallifax JOctober 2, 2014I have to be caffeine free and as a tea drinker, it's rare to find a good decaf tea. But Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf has a wonderfully fragrant and flavorful Rooibos Chai. Tasty even in latte form. 👍
Ellen McGrodyJune 6, 2015Perfectly good coffee and iced blendeds. It's certainly not the best coffee in San Francisco and considering the competition in the area I'm not giving it a heart but the Cookies and Cream is good.
Sanchit DuaOctober 12, 2014coffee with blueberry muffin is the combo helping you out recreating your thoughts.. have it outside or with the music & WiFi ON inside..
Tim PursellJuly 1, 2015Terrific Madeleine's. If you ask for whole milk or a latte it may confuse the cashier because they have their own weird anti-Starbucks lingo that still manages to avoid true Euro names. LA based.
They have brewed decaf iced coffee. No bathroom, so it's not the perfect coffee shop for a pregnant woman, but I'm still a very happy customer.
Martin WeigertMay 4, 2013If you want to work, the atmosphere here is better than at the Starbuck's around. Unfortunately, the free Wifi didn't let me connect through VPN (unlike at Starbucks)
Peter BerkiDecember 28, 2012Iced hazelnut latte is by far their best drink. Try a medium in a large; the additional ice breaks the drink's somewhat overwhelming flavor.
Asiyat TsalikovaMay 31, 2013You should try birthday cake ice blended coffee with sprinkles and whipped cream! Super coffeelicious
Daniel MichaelJanuary 23, 2013Great place for coffee. About 11 tables and one larger one with good WiFi. *** They have an opening for a barista now!
RicardoOctober 21, 2013Always hard to find a seat, but the staff and baristas are friendly and the cappuccino is always great!
Wayne AndermanJune 22, 2013Best double espresso macchiato - order extra wet. Voila you have a stowaway latte on steroids for half the price!
SabinaJuly 19, 2013The "Your Favorite" Tea Latte with Strawberry Cream or Morrocan Mint green tea is so good!
Gauri ManglikMarch 26, 2012Cool coffee/tea shop to do work in. Good coffee and friendly staff. Free wifi. (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
Barbara MatthewsOctober 13, 2014Dark chocolate mocha is great. Nice chocolate flavor and not too sweet!
LaurissaSeptember 4, 2014OMG. The vanilla latte with coconut-almond milk. Amazing. Can't wait to find another coffee bean and tea leaf!
Peter KirnMarch 12, 2010Faster wifi (free), better coffee, friendlier atmosphere than the 'bucks across the street: win.
angela hayesFebruary 24, 2010Just as busy as any coffee bean in so cal, considering this is 1 of 3 in northern ca! Coffee bean is 100 times better then stbux. The frap cups arent sticky like stbux and they are real smooth...no b
Anil DashJune 8, 2012One of the few places that will make a tea latte with a decaf tea like decaf English Breakfast, for those of us who like milk.
Nigel YorkJanuary 9, 2015In 4 years, not a single negative aspect. Always busy and fast, kind service.
Haleigh TutrowNovember 25, 2012If you're looking for a Holiday drink, the Winter Dream tea latte is the best! Tastes like Christmas in a cup!
Jessica ChiangJanuary 5, 2012Love the winter dream tea latte in the winter! Also, no lines when I go at 9:30!
KrystaApril 12, 2013If you sit outside, you will see the many odd sights of Market St. (This includes but is not limited to people drinking from trash and youth yelling at each other.)
Piyush AggarwalJuly 27, 2013Lovely location.. Fresh sandwiches... Hot coffee..life was never so better :-)
Tammy GordonMarch 20, 2012Lots of plugs along the wall to recharge while you sip coffee and people watch...- Get a free drink when you buy a $25 gift card. Think of it as a 10-15% bonus.
Michelle WuFebruary 28, 2013Green tea latte is a nice midday pick me up without the harsh effect of late day caffeine.
Get your coffee to go or stay inside. This place attracts cigarette smokers who tend to lurk at outdoor tables.
Drew WOctober 14, 2014Skip it. This place had a line out the door during a huge conference and the cashiers did not know their Colombian brew was the dark roast.
@NacronMay 27, 2012The workers here aren't that friendly or helpful...guess I'm just used to the @coffeebeanhi's focus on customer service
Alanna ClerkinSeptember 3, 2011Wifi and tea, power outlets, peace and quiet.. what more could you want?
Moroccan mint latte is like hot chocolate with mint. Amazing.
This is going to sound really american but they really need larger cups... There's colleges nearby.
Nadine SaezAugust 29, 2013Hey management: get more chairs for outdoor seating. Missing a huge opportunity. More chairs!!!!
Look for the access code on the monitor - squint, because it is tiny. But it will unlock 2 hours of wifi goodness.
LR YDecember 28, 2012Kinda smells like fart inside and the service is slow, but at least they're nice. Drinks are delicious; wifi is good.
Great coffee and really nice friendly employees.
Vicky TeinakiFebruary 12, 2010Nice location- can get a bit busy but a few power points around. Wifi connection code in cafe on the big screen.
