Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf is definitely upscale and its interior is decorated with wood grain wall treatments, leather seating and specialized coffee offerings (see photos). Must admit I was looking for a place doing special cappuccino designs with foam using cinnamon or mocha for décor. Not found here; however the coffee, tea blends and unique mini version bear claw was superb. CBTL Café Americano came with three shots of espresso. Service was fast and despite my questions and responses of no, no and no it turned out to be an above average visit. Most important find was custom Viennese Blend Dark Roast Keurig cups ---for use in machine--- for one perfect cup of Mélange-like coffee at a time. Who knew CBTL was a gourmet Keurig pods purveyor, wow! Secret slurp heaven are the chocolate/vanilla ice blended drinks, perfect on a hot day and can be embellished with cream or sans cream. Try one or two. This location offers a serene environment for studying, meeting or playing table games (quietly). Spanish architecture dominates this little plaza and you can find CBTL on the south side of Jamba Juice. Servers were kind, efficient and helpful. The manager is Timothy-Hart Jacobs and he made my day.

This is a fantastic coffee shop, and is one of the best Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf locations that Ive been to. The other Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf location that is magnificent is located in Seal Beach. However, this Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf on Imperial Highway in Brea is still absolutely fabulous. The staff have always been friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, and accomodating as it should be since some of their drinks are kind of pricey. Some of the staff there go above and beyond to help out customers that have special diets or food allergies. I always order the blended green tea beverage with soy milk since they dont have unsweetened rice milk. I still absolutely love the blended green tea beverage, but Im very allergic to milk and have problems digesting soy milk. The only 2 things I would change about the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf in general is that I wish they would add unsweetened rice milk to their menu and that they would open until midnight 7 days a week.

As a franchise I like Coffee Bean but for some reason the staff here is always grumpy, and they always charge me extra even if I just want a splash of soy milk. From now on Im going to the Starbucks up the street.

This is one of my favorite places to stop by for coffee in the morning. The staff there are really nice, (a big shout out to Bri for always being awesome), but I wish the food selection was better.

I love this place as the coffee Bean has great iced coffee, smooth and not bitter. This location is usually not crowded and easy to get in and out of. The employees are always friendly and helpful

Really great coffee and service. Much better than Starbucks. Actually tastes fresh and not burnt. Cant speak to the food but all of my drinks have always been excellent.

Great everything except for the patio...needs to be monitored for those smokrs that hide in the corner and ruin a perfectly good cup of tea.
