The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf - The Strawberry Frapp - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Kapolei, Hawaii

Service- 5 stars Ambiance- 3 stars Food and drinks- 5 stars I love the service at this location. I ordered a large, peppermint mocha, hot latte and it was delish! The female who took my order was so nice and let me know that they still had the peppermint syrup. Normally, this flavor is gone right after the holiday season but they still had it and I was elated! The only reason I give the ambiance 3 stars is because this location can get tricky to access with the parking lot being so congested. There is a Cheesecake Factory, CPK, and a bunch of other food spots in the same corner at Ka Makana Ali'i so def give yourself time to find parking. read more

Refreshing beverage in Kapolei, O'ahu, Hawai'i... The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf (CBTL) at Ka Makana Ali'i was recommended to me by the Pearl City location! Why? Pearl City said that they're one of the last stores to receive merchandise and that Kapolei gets shipments first! Really??? I went to ask about the new Tokidoki collaboration... They didn't know anything about it. I showed them the posts and emails from the mainland... they said that Hawaii is behind by maybe two months? I was advised to check the CBTL Hawaii Instagram page. Wow. Okay... since I'm there and it's the weekly Thursday promotion in August, I will try a Caramel Mocha Ice Blended drink. It was delicious... especially because it was a hot summer (August) day! Service was very helpful and efficient! Thanks to the staff for answering my questions about the merchandise! You're all very kind and patient! Thank you also for the clean, air-conditioned, bright environment! You have a great place in the food court area... an end unit! read more

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! read more

The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf - So good if you want it crunch ask for it be toasted longer. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Kapolei, Hawaii

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. read more

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. read more

My friend and I have gone to this location on Saturdays at around noon and we've had the same guy make our drinks- I kid you not he's so quick and efficient. And when I say quick I mean the second I order and pay, my drink is OUT. I've gone to other locations and the way this guy makes the drinks is hella impressive. We love you, that one guy that works saturdays around noon read more

Always a great place for meetings or studying! This is one of the few coffee shops left with outlet chargers and a lot of seating options. Staff is super nice and they give samples every so often! I love coming here whenever I'm out and about on the west side. Food is always fully stocked & drinks are always made on point ^__^ read more

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.. read more

I honestly have no problems when I come here, the workers are always so sweet and very quick when working! But, I came in today for 3 drinks. The girl Emily, was helping me was very rude. She had an attitude since she took my order. I had asked her if I was able to redeem my stamp card the same time it got fully stamped, which I didn't know I couldn't. And she answered with slight attitude. I brushed it off because I know what it's like to work in food industry so I figured she might've just had a bad shift so I tried being understanding. It wasn't until she passed my drinks out. I ordered no whip in one pure chocolate and there was whip placed so I kindly asked and said "I'm so sorry but I asked for no whip in this one." She looked at the drinks and looked back up towards me with the stinkiest facial expression which was honestly so rude. To add on, my drinks came out looking sloppily made and my hazelnut ice blended was overly sweet. read more

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.

Stopped by Coffee Bean at Ka Makana Alii today (our usual spot) and, as always, we had such a great experience. Tyler always makes our drinks exactly how we like it. He's always so kind and always has a smile on his face too. I also have to mention how this location is always clean and tidy! Thank you again Tyler! read more

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. read more

Located in the food court at Ka Makana Alii, this place is convenient as it is close to the parking lot and you can easily run in and out if you're in a rush. On this day, I ordered a Sea Salt Caramel Latte. I forgot to say extra hot but it was still good. I did not make any modifications and the coffee to milk ratio was perfect. Some places put too much milk or make it extra bitter. The service was good. The employees were courteous and thanked me for coming in. The only downside (hence less one star) is that they charge 51 cents for a cup of water. Hey, if I'm already spending $7 for coffee, they can't give me a small cup of water? read more

Not the friendliest staff .. and quite busy as almost all tables were taken at 1030am .. but there's plenty of outside seating in Ka Makana Ali'i Got a salmon bagel and Vietnamese cold brew. The cream cheese to salmon ratio is off but having the option to toast just the bagel is a win read more

I just walked out. Casher takes my order. I ordered to thisty thursday special, matcha cookies and cream blended, with oatmilk. I understand oatmilk is an upcharge. No whip. I can my drink. 1. Sloppy 2. Wrong -- no cookies added 3. Server tells me there is an upcharge, telling me "it doesnt say cookies and cream and its $1.00 more. I tell her I ordered the spcial, thats what I ordered. She tells "its ok next time" 4. WRONG AGAIN!! I SHOWED HER THE INSTAGRAM PICTURE!!! She continues to give me attitude that "the cup doesnt say cookies" -- I DONT WRITE ON THE CUP! I responded, I dont write on the cup, cmon you guys communicate -- HOW IS THIS ON ME? 5. I remembered, Im at a mall. Teenagers work at this location, expect bad customer service. 6.

January 27,2023 - Friday Braxton is definitely a great barista because I really don't drink coffee we went for one of my besties since she was heading to work so she needed her coffee intake. Just a group of people was inside sitting & it seemed like a business meeting as well. Since I was just checking the menu I noticed they served Lemonade, which I was thinking OMG I can get something to drink. Since I couldn't figure out what Lemonade drink I wanted, the barista actually offered us that he can make our drinks. Since I couldn't decided I wanted the strawberry & Li Hing Lemonade. Which was amazing & he even asked if I wanted seeds in it as well. Drinks came out quickly & I like this location since the icee is like small & easier to eat. Overall, my drank was tasty & I wouldn't go to any other location since I did try the one at Malama in Makakilo & it's NOT THE SAME. Check them out if you get Braxton let him whip up your drank! You won't be disappointed. read more

This is our go to location because it's located the closest to our house. The store is always clean when you walk in and you always get greeted with a smile and a hello once you walk into the door. Today we ordered a extra large sweet tea, extra large mango lemonade and a small cookies and cream (no coffee). Our drinks came out in a timely manner. Because we walked to the mall, we were able to order our drinks and have a seat for a few minutes before walking back home. Lots of chairs inside the store. They also have a variety of merchandise that they sell. From flasks to cute little cups. Next to the merchandise they also have a variety of desserts. I love their macaroons and their rice crispy treat. read more

I always prefer CBTL over the other guys! I just wish there were more locations to compete, otherwise I wouldn't even be visiting THEM. So, literally on the west side that I know of, there's Makakilo, Kapolei Foodland, Ka Makana, and Ewa Foodland locations. Pearl City drive through would be the next closest to me (Mililani)... Where's the Central Oahu love? Pupukea is not close enough! Please get in the Mililani Foodland! Anyways, this location is really nice. Spacious, lots of comfy looking seating, noise level to a minimum. Also, located in the food court area so bathrooms are nearby. I always love seeing what's the MOJO Monday deal, and everything I've gotten so far has been great. I'll always support CBTL but please hear my plea, Mililani needs you... I need you! read more

I ordered the seasonal chocolate and mint ice blended with and extra shot of espresso. I'm not a mint fan but decided on giving it another shot (pun intended). It was so good I came back the next day. The mint wasn't strong, which I like, and the chocolate was balanced out with the coffee taste from the espresso shot. I hope this isn't just seasonal. So hard not to keep coming back for these. There wasn't a line but they also made it fairly quickly. Staff was great at answering whatever questions I had. And fyi. They had a "pure" version and that meant no caffeine. That wasn't for me that day hence the extra shot. read more

Asked for a hot drink got an iced drink. Not sure why, my name is on the cup so it must be mine.

That you for a great start to my weekend! read more

Love this CBTL location. Customer service is great. It's been awhile since I've been back and sure enough, the employee I did encounter with often, still remembers me. Even at their busiest times, they still manage to do their best and get everyone's orders pushed out with the shortest possible wait time. They are very apologetic if an order may have taken longer than expected. read more

The world is saturated with Starbucks so it is good to see other coffee shops around sometimes (not to say I do not like Starbucks). Kudos to putting Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf in Ka Makana Mall! I honestly like their menu better than Starbucks and they have Hawaii only menu. I think their pastry varaeties are better than Starbucks too. They offer military discount (thank you for that) and good customer service all the time. Needless to say their drinks are awesome! read more

Been coming here every Thursday for the past couple months, and usually I have excellent service. However this time it was okay. The cashier at the register Charrise, had a blank face and seemed irritated. I did not feel welcomed or anything at all. Seemed like I was bothering her with her duties when I came up to order. I mean she may have had a mad morning or something but please don't show it when you're on the floor. read more
