    Mo'joe Mondays at The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf inside of Foodland Farms at Ala Moana Center... On Instagram, the Regular Ube Coconut beverages were on sale for $4! Ooh! I wanna try! ...especially since my Loyalty Card is almost filled! Yay! I easily parked for free - right in front! I appreciate the covered parking! Inside, the counter is to the left of the entrance. Order at the front, then go around the side to the left to pick up. There's a lot of counter seats and tables in the back - if you want to hang out, but the internet reception wasn't too good for me. Service was efficient, but i had to remind the gal that it was Mo'joe Mondays ($4). I wasn't able to make the Ube Coconut Ice Blended Affogato into a non-dairy beverage. The dairy is in the powder... Ok... I'll drink it at home... haha! I liked it! The Ube Coconut flavor balanced out the bitterness of the coffee. I'll be back for another special... maybe on Thursday!

    I love coming here! Located inside of Foodland Farms, it's a super convenient location. They give out a stamp card and have specials every Monday and Thursday. Service is quick and they have a good variety of baked goods, salads, coffees and lemonades. I actually think they have some products/food that's better than Starbucks and I find the service to be much quicker. Today I tried a large pumpkin ice blend for $5 Thursday and it was absolutely delicious. Definitely recommend.

    The WORST location I've encountered. Waited a good 30 minutes for a large latte & a croissant. That's wild...

    Ube affogato, ube blend with espresso shot and whipped cream

    Wow, just amazing! There was a decent line, but it moved fast. They have a TV that rotates different drinks and the Ube Affogato caught my eye! The Cashier, i think her name was Minnie, was so sweet and asked if I wanted whipped cream. Of course, who doesn't. When I visit this coffee bean, i do sometimes notice the ledge and glass are dirty. This time, they were clean, like squeeky clean. There were 3 workers in total, very efficient and seemed to work together very well. I waited I'd say maybe a minute or so, pretty fast for my drink. When I go to other locations, it can sometimes take up to 5 minutes!! The lady who gave me my drink had a really nice smile, I noticed she was laughing with other customers and it seemed like she really loved her job. I believe her name tag said Isabelle or Isebella, but she mentioned that the affogato was her new favorite drink and if I enjoy it I should try it with "Thai walls" next time. Some of the best customer service I've had from coffee place like Starbucks, or even other Coffee Beans on island. The drink was so Ono and delicious!!! I will definitely try it with Thai walls next time :)

    "All I know about walruses is that, out of all mammals, they have the second-largest..." - 50 First Dates These girls. Oh! These girls (said in the most respectful woke way) that work here in the early mornings are the best! Always pleasant, professional, and present. First, you must understand how spoiled I am being in Japan all summer and waking up to the best baristas in the world. Ganbatte spirit a fabric of Japan society. I'm back in Honolulu for some personal business and one of my favorite stops is this Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf that's located in Foodland Farms Ala Moana. No worries lots of area to sit, but I take it to go. It's important to know it's not just any Coffee Bean, it's this specific location where the employees make the difference. In American coffee shops I've encountered more mediocrity than exceptional, however the employees here are the exception. Oh! And they make on-point drinks and that $2+ carrot cake to die for! I've been here dozens of times and realized I never wrote a review so shame on me for taking it for granted. On my latest visits I picked up IG promotional drinks: Mango Matcha Iced Latté, Mango Iced Blended, Li Hing Lemonade. Always a large and served with a Ganbatte spirit with Aloha 5-stars smile. Okay, I admit I also have a mad crush on two lol. Jaじゃあね Please follow my adventures on IG: @eric_travel_guru

    Just a follow up review, Coffee Bean was out of the bacon egg bites so they added bacon to the egg white egg bites! Tell me if Starbucks would do that . Once again enjoyed the excellent service! . Shoutout to the Foodland Farms Coffee Bean Sunday morning crew. Will be coming back again no doubt!

    Blended Iced Ultimate Mocha (espresso beans added to regular blended iced mocha)
    Sharon M.

    I stopped drinking coffee for a little over a year but was introduced to The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf by my friends who go often to the Ala Moana Foodland Farms location. I was very hesitant as I never ordered anything from here and usually just go to Starbucks for drinks. What a life changer! I decided to try the iced blended mocha that my friends normally order. I asked the girl who was helping me if they could add espresso beans to it and she said yes. I was even more excited. She said that I could order it as a black forest without cherries or as an ultimate mocha. It usually comes with whip but i prefer no whip. Now the ultimate mocha is my go to and I've been hooked. It tastes like an ice blended hot chocolate with espresso beans. I also like how it does not make me crash after drinking it. I absolute love coming to this location because the workers including Emily the Manager are very friendly and they are very consistent with their orders. I have never been disappointed and I love the service here.

    Located in Foodland, went to get a Matcha Cookies and Cream blended drink to sip on. Besides staying up till 4 pm due to the caffeine lol the drink was blended well. Very sweet. Walked into Foodland around 7 pm, sat at a near by table walking to see if this stand was still open because there was in one visible. Waited around for about 10 mins and they appeared yay! First in line and got my drink

    This place has been my absolute favorite for good drinks and breakfast food…read more I was staying at the Outrigger Hotel that is attached to this cafe and I went here almost every single day. Food: 5/5 I was able to try several of their brunch items including their Ham & Cheese Croissant, their Turkey Pest Sandwich, and their Traditional Waffle. Almost all of them were a hit! I especially liked their Turkey Pesto. It paired beautifully with their salad. Their breakfast waffle was also light and fluffy and their fruit was fresh. Drinks: 5/5 I tried their many lattes, coffees, smoothies. Their açaí smoothie was not my favorite because it had a lot of unblended seeds. I did love their leans & green smoothie, it had so many fruits and greens in it, and it also tasted so good. Service: 5/5 This place had wonderful service. All of their servers were so kind and they explained their menu so well. The food and drinks came out pretty timely and everything was fresh to order. Ambiance: 5/5 This place is attached to the Outrigger Hotel so they share a cafe area with the pool. It was beautiful to be able to enjoy breakfast by the poolside. It was giving summer vibes outside. Inside their cafe was very tropical with plants everywhere. I would definitely come back here for the food, the drinks, the happy hour, the ambiance, and the service!
