    Ultimate Cold Brew Ice Blended drink this is delicious
    Jessica G.

    Mia took my order through the drive-through. She was so sweet. I asked her what the new drinks were cause I saw some new ones on the menu so I decided to try the ultimate cold brew iced blended. It's delicious flavorful and strong and I love the chocolate squirrels they put on the side of the cup. She had a smile and I got my drink quickly. It wasn't too busy today. I like this location. It's near Trader Joe's not as often but the parking lot there's enough parking we can go inside. We're going to drive-through and the service is always friendly. I really appreciate that. I'm really enjoying my delicious blended cold brew thank you for the suggestion. I can can't wait to try it again and the other flavor. Have a beautiful day be kind to everyone :) Aloha

    I went in the morning and the line was wrapped around the corner into the parking lot. But it went pretty quick. I ordered the cookie butter iced blended drink, and it NEVER fails my coffee thirst. The service was quick and simple. It looked nice on the outside, so i can only imagine the inside looking just as cute. I shall be back Coffee Bean!

    $7 for a small?! And its TINY! Tastes like dirt. Save your money because you can get a better deal at Starbucks for that money

    Disgusting drain
    Jeremy R.

    We usually come through the drive thru and they are very efficient. But today was just not it, we came in to them being very understaffed and scatterbrained. When you pick up the order inside I noticed a disgusting smell coming from the drain next to me and yup that's where that smell came from. The people who made the drinks were very nice 8/10 but the hygiene in this place is a solid 1.3/10 and needs severe deep cleaning.

    This place has always been my go-to for both hot and iced Chai tea latte while for my husband, it's the cookies and cream ice blend. We are regular customers at this location and visited numerous years due to not only their drinks but also wonderful customer service. The staff are pleasant to interact and fast pushing the orders out. Recently, I noticed that they changed their cups and I love it! They are exactly the same cups that you can see at boba shops. You can either sip or use the straw, which is brilliant. Applauding the improvement as it is no longer flimsy. Like any other The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, the cafe is has an elegant library feel where people can enjoy their favorite drink while studying or working comfortably. The smooth jazz on the background and well air conditioned room is always a bonus.

    I tried the in store purchased a couple of times. Sadly it seems that there is not enough employees, it is usually slow, the staff is not friendly, they don't smile, and they don't pay attention to the quality of food. Also, I have asked for the avocado and egg toast in three consecutive weekly visits, two weeks I have been told there is not avocado, this time I was told they don't have the "mix" for it.

    funny sight to see. I had a FlavoredEarl Grey

    my favorite thing about coffee is the process of making a wonderful fresh cup of coffee at home. It truly is a beautiful art that intertwines with my joy and love for food. But I still come here for the ambiance and great service of it all. Just real people coming together to work on something for the community. If you can't find any joy in that then consider making coffee at home.

    Drove through this place this morning. The line moved quickly and the people were friendly through the window. I got the Vietnamese cold brew, my partner to the Horchata cold brew. The coffee was tasty we both ordered a regular size and I feel like for $12 they should have been a bit larger. They hit the spot though.

    Iced latte
    Brigitte O.

    Rolled through the drive thru for an afternoon pick me up while running errands. The iced latte is smooth coffee with a creamy finish and such a balanced flavor. The iced cherry blossom tea has delicate fruit and floral notes and is absolutely delightful. Drive thru had two vehicles in front of us but moved in a reasonable amount of time. Person at the drive thru spoke clearly and was easy to understand and friendly too. This is location has been here quite some time now and still doing a fantastic job making delicious coffee and tea plus delivering friendly customer service. Keep up the good work!

I did want the strawberry matcha, but I think the employee might have misheard me. They have coconut milk! I was happy they have more options than most places. Anyway, it's fine, because the drink is still a matcha, which was what I wanted. The matcha was extremely bitter before mixing. I almost thought it might be unsweetened, but after using a straw to stir, it tasted just right. There are books and board games here. Overall, very clean and modern look. A little worried I might not be able to sleep early today, but at least the drink is yummy! The second time, I have proof so I know for sure I asked for strawberry matcha. Will I be able to try it? Maybe they ran out, or maybe they forgot. Either way, I've been paying a little extra for it each time. It is a little busy on a Thursday morning. Croissants look great and huge, but cost about the same as a drink.The matcha itself tastes okay. However, there is too much ice in there for my liking.

I got the earl grey matcha which are two of my favorite flavors it was of course delicious. Food: They had just rolled out a new menu that includes a slice of sourdough bread and butter for 5$. I'm really working on cutting out the sweet treats (which they have plenty of) so it was perfect for me. They also have wholesome foods such as breakfast sandwiches and burritos which-- if I didn't have dinner plans after my study session-- is always appreciated as too often the food at coffee shops are sugary pastries and a bunch of empty calories. Service was friendly and personable. Communitea shows its dedication to being a warm, welcoming third-space environment. There is a shelf filled with board games and a kids play area (if you have one of those). They have assorted merchandise like coffee beans, plants, mugs, chips & snacks, etc.. There were flyers for all types of events throughout the month. I don't often write reviews I don't even live anywhere near Brea, but I would love to see this business thrive if not expand.

The bread is soft, the garlic flavor is just right, and the cream cheese filling brings everything together perfectly. Their coffee drinks are also consistently good. My personal favorite is the Smokin' Spaniard, probably because I'm a sucker for anything made with condensed milk. It's rich, smooth, and just sweet enough without being over the top. On a recent visit, I decided to try their new Pineapple Express. It was a hot day, and I was in the mood for something fruity and refreshing without any caffeine. It was decent - light and refreshing, though it didn't quite stand out as much as their coffee drinks for me. Overall, this is still one of my favorite bakeries and coffee spots. Between the delicious pastries, solid drinks, and cozy atmosphere, it's a place I find myself returning to again and again.

    Omg! I just moved to the North OC area, and I'm happy to say I've found one of my new go-to coffee…read moreshop study spots in the area! :) I'm currently studying for a big exam, and it's been surprisingly challenging finding coffee shops to study at with the beautiful, modern, aesthetic ambience that makes me happy, without feeling anxious there won't be enough seats or space when I get there, esp since I have to drive a decent amount to get to cafes. I've been getting a little stir crazy at home and finally making the trek here was so worth it-- I felt more motivated than ever to get work done with a tasty treat. I'm not sure if it's because CSUF just started this week, or because I came on a Friday morning, but it was really spacious and open with tons of outlets (almost at each table). Not sure how other days are, but I'd love to bring my study group friends here in the future, since it's so hard to find places with enough space for study groups! Not to mention the clean bathroom haha and good wifi haha The staff here is also incredibly sweet and friendly, making it a comfortable and good experience. Because it was my first time, I asked the barista about her recommendation, and she also asked my general preferences to cater to my taste, and I ended up with a seasonal Birthday Cake Americano at half sweetness (since I don't have much of a sweet tooth). It was perfect for me! I don't usually get Americanos and have a sensitive stomach rn, but it was delicious and kind on my stomach lol. I also got a ham and cheese croissant, and maybe it could've been heated up a little more, but I did wait a bit to eat it, so it was no big deal. The other barista was also so sweet in answering my many questions haha The only struggle as others have mentioned is the parking - I ended up parking at the retail parking nearby, which had plenty of spots but can get pretty pricey, and it sounds like you can park in the areas others have mentioned still (like The Hub I guess has "New Here" parking spots or the employee parking spots?), so I'll need to look more next time. But there's quite a bit around the area within walking distance, you can easily make a day out of it too. Also since it is at the first floor of an apartment in a college town, there will be students going in and out, so just be prepared for that haha -- reminded me of dorm days, and I'm glad students have a spot like this :) Overall, the yummy coffee, amazing vibe and beautiful ambiance, especially as a study spot, alongside the kind and comfortable service has been just what I've been looking for in a coffee shop around here, and I'm excited to return! Thank you New Here!

    Vanilla Thesis is the best better than probably all the rest…read moreThe coffee is so tasty Not nasty or pasty Their cheese and ham croissant is also bomb better than being made by mom One thing to note about this place, the parking sucks. But fear not, you can go into the structure, park in one of the "employee only" spots, and just tell them which spot and you're golden (wish I knew that before I came and parked across the street). Also, another reason why this place is great is that it's not full at all. Might be because of the parking situation, but the place is near empty which makes it have a nice luxury vibe. Their Vanilla Thesis drink at 50% sweet is soooo good. It's a great blend of coffee and tastes great. You can totally taste the vanilla. Their ham and cheese croissant is also great.
