A family-run empire of cafe-shops that's been brewing caffeinated beverages since 1963..
In Short
Honey-colored oak and leaded glass give a homey touch to this California-based chain of specialty coffeehouses. Commonly referred to as the Bean, this purveyor of high-end

Mocha mudslide. The coffee extract tastes like mud. Mocha mudslide tastes like mud! These people don't use syrup they use a disgusting powder. It's like fat powder. They are NOT kosher BTW.
consistent, friendly, good!. As good a cappuccino as I've had anywhere in the US - and consistently good, from all of the barristas who've served me - which makes CB&TL (at least this location) unique among chains.

Best Coffeehouse Chain in the World!. This place knows coffee! It has it all...great products, atmosphere, well-trained staff, and attitude! My only complaint is that they don't have more locations.

Ice Blendeds. Their ice blended drinks are to die for! No other coffee company even can compare to theirs to these. Delicious!!
