    9/17/24 GreenJasmine Dragon Phoenix Pearl hot latte with sugar free vanilla
    Jennifer W.

    9/17/24 Quick drop in for some Jasmine Dragon Phoenix Pearl tea latte! I had a gift card that I've been wanting to use and redeem. This is the only one in Lakewood as most of the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf branches are closed down. There was hardly anybody at the location when I dropped by. There was only a couple of people sitting in the indoor seating area. I placed my order for the hot tea latte and I requested for half sweet this time in hindsight maybe I should've made it full because it didn't taste the way I remember and it was a little disappointing. It wasn't as rich or full body the way that I remember it was meh// that's the best description I could give it. This branch is situated in front of a high school and since we arrived before school, let out it was not busy at all. The restrooms needed a little TLC, there was no toilet paper, paper towel or toilet seat covers. There only two staff (baristas) on the crew. Parking shares it with other businesses so it can get a little challenging.

    My girlfriend is a sucker for coffee deals and the Coffee Bean app had a BOGO deal today that brought us in for iced lattes. Can't complain, the coffee is good!

    The Coffee Bean & Tea Lea reminds me of this Shania Twain song from the late 1990s: "So you got the BRAINS, but have you got the touch?... So you got the LOOKS, but have you got the touch?... So you got the MOVES, but have you got the touch... You think you're COOL, but have you..." You get the idea. The brains? We'll pretend that equates to common courtesy. The brains are non-existent because they aren't all that welcoming or friendly at this Downey location on Firestone Blvd. The looks? It's just a regular run-of-the-mill CB&TL. Nothing that makes it memorable inside or out. Sometimes there are bums hangin' around on the sidewalk. The moves? Pretend this equates to getting my order right. Happens half of the time. Their recent vanilla latte tasted suspiciously like mocha. So no way does any of this add up to any degree of cool. Simply stated, the potential is there, but they ain't got the touch. TIPS Free parking in a plaza lot near Petco. Use the app for rewards such as a free birthday drink.

    I love coffee bean but this was such a bust! I drove out of my way to come here but it was bad. The barista with mustache seemed annoyed I was taking long to order and the girl that made my drink did not even add whip to my mocha frappe lol it looked watery af not coming back.

He was…read moreincredibly patient and welcoming, especially since it was our first time visiting this location. His great customer service immediately made us feel comfortable and appreciated. Venue: beautiful, clean, and spacious with plenty of seating for families and friends to gather comfortably. It's conveniently located inside a shopping center with lots of parking available, which made our visit even easier. Ambiance: We absolutely loved the ambiance! The mariachi music playing in the background truly brought the whole experience together and perfectly represented the spirit and name of the location. Food: everything was fresh, delicious, and perfectly balanced in flavor without being overly sweet. We ordered the chocolate croissant, Abuelita's rosca, elote fino, and a fried pulled pork empanada with green sauce. Every item was flavorful and satisfying. The café de olla was warm, comforting, and just the right amount of sweet. Overall, my family and I had a wonderful experience and truly enjoyed our visit. We will definitely be returning for more pan dulce, delicious food, and maybe even try one of the cold brews next time. Highly recommend!

    I've come here a couple of times now, and it's one of my favorite bakeries…read more I absolutely love their horchata frappes, their empanadas, and their cheese taquitos. Super delicious! I hope they branch out towards the South Bay Area. I would go regularly.
