    Salami Pesto Sandwich

    I recently stopped by The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf and had a pleasant experience overall. The atmosphere was exactly what you'd expect from a coffee shop- comfortable, welcoming, and inviting. The staff greeted me warmly upon arrival, which set a positive tone for the visit. I ordered the Horchata Dry Iced Americano and was impressed with the execution. I watched the drink being prepared, and everything appeared carefully measured. The espresso was pulled nicely, resulting in a well-balanced beverage where neither the coffee nor the horchata flavors overwhelmed the other. I also tried the Salami Pesto Sandwich and opted to have it heated. While the sandwich had good flavor, I found the herb profile to be a bit overpowering, making it difficult for the savory flavor of the salami to come through. That said, I understand these sandwiches aren't made in-house, so this is more feedback on the product itself rather than the café. The staff prepared it well, and the quality and service during my visit were excellent. Overall, a solid visit with excellent beverage preparation and friendly service.

    So good if you want it crunch ask for it be toasted longer.

    Still our number one go-to every morning! Huge thanks to Taylor, Tehani, and the entire morning crew for always providing amazing service. We recently tried the turkey and egg burrito (recommended by a Starbucks employee), and OMG--I'm so glad we did! It's now my top pick, perfectly paired with my Americano. Pro tip: add some salsa on the side--it's a total game changer. You might even want to grab more than one because they're that good!

    Mochi gummies. Interesting. But expensive.

    I didn't expect much from this Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf. But I was surprised. The place was neat, and it had that really good coffeehouse smell, that reminded me of European Starbucks. When I arrived, the line looked a bit long, but it moved quickly. The girls behind the counter were working hard and still kept a positive attitude. Wow. I eyed the pastries but... they looked like they had just been defrosted, so I went with a drink instead. I ordered the Peach Jasmine Cold Brew Tea. I'm usually cautious with new drinks, but this one was refreshing. Peachy without being candy-sweet. The vibe was nice too. A mall corner where you can pause, sip, and not feel like you're in a food court. I even dropped some tips in the jar. Only critique: napkin shortage. At the self-serve station there were none. The barista handed me some when I asked though, so not a dealbreaker.

    This review is not about the quality or taste, but of their rewards program, or lack thereof. Extremely frustrating experience at The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf in Kamakana Ali'i Mall. It's ridiculous that this location refuses to honor the rewards and programs offered on the mainland. If you're not going to abide by the same programs as the rest of the U.S., then why even brand yourself under the same name? From my perspective, this is a complete failure to honor the standards of the franchise you're operating under. I drove out of my way just to grab a coffee here, expecting the same consistency I've experienced elsewhere, only to be disappointed. You can make all the excuses you want, but it comes across as laziness or a lack of commitment to the brand. Hawaii deserves better than this. Come on, Sullivan Family - if you're going to partner with a big name like Coffee Bean, do it right.

    When I tasted that strawberry mocha, "Oh my God ! It was like a hug from Jesus. "Let me tell you that it tasted incredible . Excellent customer service from Jaron and Logen. "Really was the best experience an a perfect day" "Thank you"

    Large plantation iced tea
    Maritess C.

    I like coming here for drinks. My favorite is the plantation iced tea. One visit they didn't have it so I got the mango iced tea. This was delicious. Too much ice in my drink though. Kind of a rip off. The inside had tables to sit on to enjoy your drink. I usually come here with my food friend. Inside seemed pretty descent and clean. I definitely enjoy their drinks. You get a free stamp card if you ask or the girl gave me one which was nice. Friendly service here..

    Hibiscus tea
    JessicaLynn R.

    Usually order the frappes and coffee but decided to try something refreshing. I tried the new hibiscus tea because it looked pretty lol. It was tarty not too sweet just okay. I guess I should stick to the frappes or try there other teas. Like any other coffee place it was nice and clean!! The young man who helped us was attentive and nice.

    Iced caramel latte
    Cashea S.

    I wanted to like this, but they don't offer whole milk as an option so having coffee with skim milk really didn't taste that great. I understand the concept because milk is expensive, but I wasn't expecting it to be just okay. The coffee was average tasting, nothing special. It was a decent price given the size, but the flavors didn't stand up to my liking. Outside of the just alright coffee, the staff was very friendly and the service was quick. They didn't waste time making it. It was nice and clean inside too for being in a popular mall. I won't return just because the coffee doesn't do it for me, but if you like non-traditional dairy, you'll enjoy it.

    Matcha blended with Thai walls
    Shana Q.

    My favorite place to get my matcha fix. I ask for a matcha ice blended with Thai walls also known as condense milk so good!! They have stamp cards so make sure you get it so you can get a free drink when your card is filled.

    Chocolate coconut ice blended.
    Dana K.

    Yum! Chocolate Coconut ice blended. I usually have the Cookie Butter. I asked the barista for her opinion. As soon as she said "it tastes like an Almond Joy," I was sold!!! Plus today is $3 Thursday, perfect time to try something new. Great recommendation- it's onolicious!!!

There isn't any way ( that I know of ) to alert an establishment of allergies or preferences via the app. Burrito was excellent: egg, bacon, potatoes, spinach , and sausage. Thai tea was ok. Employees were cool and accommodating - which was good because outside...it was scorching hot. Arrived early, around 230p; the time frame for picking up your Save A Bite mystery box is from 300p to 500p. Hours are from 600a till 500p on weekdays. Open 700a till 500p on the weekends. Three stalls with a 15 minute time limit are to the right of Local Joe, in The Element's driveway. Street parking...good luck. Local Joe has a Chinatown location.

But I took my kids to another coffee truck (A Little A Latte) and like it goes with kids, they made me late. So I got here right at 10. But it's ok bc Cai.CafeX3 was just getting here. So I was a tad annoyed. But then I actually looked at the sign and it said 11am. They opened the doors right on time at 11 and took the first two customers in. I waited not even 5 more min before they let me in. Initially they were still making drinks for Jolene's staff which I think is awesome to bless their staff with a drink but it really delayed the drinks for the rest of us. They were very nice tho and kept apologizing. Wasn't a huge problem bc at the beginning of events like this you need to hit your groove. I was out of there by 11:22. The girls in front of me ordered a total of 4 drinks, and I ordered 3 drinks.... So I guess over all with all the staff drinks they had to make, and the fact that it was only one drink maker... they were still pretty quick. The line was wrapping around Jolene's so I think they will do well. I ordered the Vanilla Salted Caramel, the Strawberry Matcha Spritzer, and the Hojicha. They were only offering oat milk today, I think to manage the line, but if you go to their IG they normally offer other milks. I will need to try them again when I can choose bc I do not really like oat milk. But I do like how you can customize your sweetness level. All our drinks were good. My daughter pilfered the spritzer. Of the three the salted vanilla was the best. Their straws were cute pink heart straws that didn't photograph well in its wrapping. But my daughter says she's gonna use one on Wednesday bc it's pink lol. And we got a cute sticker too!

I love matcha and have had all sorts of matcha drinks and treats before. But this smoothie tasted as if there was something separate from the matcha, like a weird, bitter aftertaste. I sort of thought it tasted like soap. My brother drank half of my smoothie too. About half an hour after finishing the cup between ourselves, both he and I felt immensely nauseous. I have NEVER felt nauseous like that before when drinking any sort of smoothie, boba drink, or matcha. My brother said he felt like vomiting. Something bad was in that matcha smoothie. This wasn't the first occasion in which I've had poor experiences with the drinks from Infinitea at Kamakana. The drinks are inconsistently made. When I've ordered a drink on one day, and get it again the next day, it would taste completely different. That- or my stomach hurts oddly a lot after having their drinks.

The smoke gets trapped under all the tents for seating & it can be trouble some for customers.
