    Kahi greeted me with her usual smile. Knew my order brewed me a fresh pot of dark roast coffee. Warmed cinnamon roll. Bright clean store. Love it here.

    This was my first time visiting The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, and it was disappointing. I stopped by this location because it has a drive-thru and ordered a large iced vanilla protein latte, listed at $7.45. The employee rang it up incorrectly by charging the protein as a separate add-on instead of selecting the protein latte itself, so I ended up paying $8.20 for the drink, not including the extra shot. I didn't notice until after I left. The drink had a strange aftertaste (maybe the vanilla or the protein) and was very subpar for the price. I also ordered a turkey pesto sandwich, I know these are reheated, but I still expected it to taste better. The meat didn't taste good and the sandwich was very mediocre overall. Compared to chains like Starbucks or Philz, this didn't come close. I don't plan on returning.

    Perfect day for some amazing afternoon tea with Pacific Dessert salted caramel and lemon loaf. Totally feel so right and relaxed here in Laguna woods area. A nice clean safe place to enjoy your special moment away from the heat and drama of life. A quiet day to reflect and ponder the universe in a world of chaos. Moment like this you are made for the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf with good service and fresh atmosphere and clean restroom. Beautiful music on the radio here. Happy Wednesday everyone.

    Disappointed. Their iced matcha latte is so watered down. Could barely taste the matcha and it's so bland I had to throw it out. It's like they just put a pinch of matcha and filled the rest with milk. Should've saved my money for Starbucks instead. Look at the photo and judge for yourself. Does that look like a proper matcha latte? It's all milk! I didn't pay for matcha flavored milk!

    Every time I visit my fam we hit up this Coffee Bean. We have been getting the Vanilla Dry Iced Americano with NSA vanilla & light caramel and cream- it's fantastic!! The app always has coupons so make sure to download that and sign up for their rewards program. Order on the app and pick up in drive thru is where it's at. Service is great. And they give out little pup cups for free!

    I wouldn't come here if I had seen the review. I spent $6.65 for a flat white, but I think they really give me a latte instead and keep saying it's a flat white. ITS REALLY ANNOYING. Will avoid this spot for sure!

    This is kind of funny…read more After work, I was searching for a coffee shop nearby like I usually do, but nothing really caught my attention. So I decided to search outside the area where I live, and that's how I ended up finding this place. The funny part is that I had actually been wanting to visit this coffee shop because I saw their "Fun Flight" menu and thought it looked so interesting. I kept telling myself that I had to come try it someday. But when I searched this time, I was actually looking for a real coffee roaster and ended up here without even realizing it was the same place. Parking was easy and there were plenty of spaces. There are also other shops around, so I don't think parking would be much of an issue. The coffee shop itself was clean, bright, and nice and cool inside. I noticed one of the employees carefully cleaning the glass, and they kept wiping down empty tables and windows throughout the time I was there. Honestly, I've rarely seen someone cleaning so consistently at a coffee shop, and I really appreciated it. It made me feel like they genuinely care about cleanliness. Since it was already afternoon, I wanted something decaf, so I asked if they roast their own decaf coffee. They told me that they roast everything themselves, which immediately gave me more confidence in the coffee. I ordered a flat white and sat down, but then I realized I had completely forgotten to say "iced." Sure enough, I saw the employee making a hot drink. Well... that's totally on me! Soon my coffee came out with a beautiful latte art on top. And then I took my first sip... Oh my goodness. This is GOOD coffee! There was a slight acidity at first, but as I kept drinking, the acidity faded and I was left with a smooth, nutty, creamy latte flavor. I personally prefer medium roasts over dark roasts, and this roast was exactly my kind of coffee. Now I'm suddenly very curious about their matcha, too. I also liked that the overall pricing wasn't too expensive. The Wi-Fi did seem a little slow at times, but it wasn't slow enough to really bother me. And now I'm still sitting here debating whether I should order the matcha latte... The coffee was definitely delicious, and I already know I'll be coming back. Next time, I'm absolutely getting the Fun Flight so I can try several different coffees! Great coffee, clean space, friendly service, and reasonable prices. Definitely worth another visit!

    Came here on a whim yesterday to nest and study and I am so glad that I did! The coffee shop had…read moreplenty of seating and was very clean (I'm a neat freak so was definitely happy about this). They also had several outlets for to charge devices if needed and delicious air conditioning. The baristas were very friendly and kind and the atmosphere felt very comfy and relaxing. I especially liked their very chill music playlist. I ordered: - iced matcha latte w oat milk and vanilla (barista recommended) - banana oatmeal with cinnamon, peanut butter and choco chips - plain bagel w cream cheese I really enjoyed the iced matcha, it is probably one of the better ones I have in OC. The matcha was super smooth and with the addition of the vanilla it created a sweet happy layer to it. I need to come back to try the other drinks! The banana oatmeal, while looking very tasty, didn't pass my satisfaction meter. The oatmeal in the bowl was cold and it was a thin layer of oats that laid on the bottom of the bowl. Presentation great, but for 9$, I would have wanted there to be at least 1-2 more scoops of oats in there to make it worth it. The plain bagel with cream cheese, I really enjoyed. The bagel was huge and it has a good toastiness to it. Additionally, the cream cheese was very light, not too rich and it helped make a delicious carb. Overall, I would definitely come back here to try other drinks and pastries from their menu! I also loved that the parking lot is easy to access and there are ample spots! Definitely try this spot, if you're in the area!

Jen went with the Southwest Breakfast Sandwich and I opted for the Breakfast Burrito with Chorizo. Jen also had a cappuccino and I had a cafe mocha. Jen liked her sandwich and I tried a small bite. More of a lunch taste for me. My burrito was very upscale. All ingredients finely diced and the red sauce gave it a good kick. Jen liked my choice as well. A lovely woman was dining alone and Jen asked her about her dish. It was the BBLT and she highly recommended it, especially if you love bacon (hence the B.B. - double bacon). With breakfast out of the way, we looked at all their bakery options. Jen selected their Bananas Foster Knock Knock and a Lemon Shortbread Square. I went with an Original Knock Knock and their Chocolate Decadent Cake. Jen liked her Knock Knock. I'm saving mine but sure I'll enjoy. The store is large enough to browse items and not feel like you are in the way of others. As for dining, good amount of seating outside. Noise depends on who's there and how many. This is now in our breakfast/lunch rotation. I look forward to trying their salads, sandwiches or perhaps a burger.
