User Reviews for The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf

1 Star Rating: Not Recommended

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.

Pros: The service, the people that can put up with minimum wage and put up with their tips being stolen.

Cons: The Vanilla powder is like solid fat in a powder form, the no sugar added powder can be used to make a kegel bomb.

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. (Note to Peet's fans - CB&TL is a lighter roast than Peet's uses - de gustibus, etc.)

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. There are two in SF now. The other is on Market St. Their chocolate and vanilla powders are what set their flavored drinks apart from the rest.

Pros: Great Value, Fast Service, Best Coffee

Cons: Trashcans overflowing, Parking sucks, Can be crowded

I admit, I was one of those pretentious kind that always hung at the local Starbucks, but no more! The Coffe Bean location at Filmore and Sacramento is very busy because of both streets having a local bus stop. Its very interesting just drinking some coffee and watching all the young and old trendy people walking in and walking by families with their dogs...

Pros: Friendly Service, Delicious Drinks, Good Atmosphere

Cons: Drinks Expensive, Parking difficult
