    Spanish latte
    Eloy G.

    Great coffee especially the Spanish Latte! Love this latte tasting of cinnamon and nutmeg! Delish! My new favorite drink!

    Pure cookies and cream and brioche breakfast sandwich

    Still super good. We all love our drinks (pure strawberry, pure vanilla, and dark chocolate with coffee). Note to self that the pure strawberry and vanilla are a little better than the dark chocolate with coffee)

    Dark chocolate ice blended

    I always go to the coffee bean & tea leaf when I get a chance to at john Wayne airport! Their ice blends are a great treat and kick of caffeine, so tasty. I love the dark chocolate ice blended!

    My first time trying CBTF. I really enjoyed the dark chocolate ice blended coffee. When The drink was served, I notice that it didn't come w a whipped cream top which was what I wanted and they had no problem offering me one. This one is near gate 16. It was steady when I got there before my flight. The only thing I can complain about is that the drink is almost $8 which is a lot against the Canadian dollar.

    The best coffee shop stationed at John Wayne Airport. There's a new Ube Coconut Cream Matcha Latte that has the perfect amounts of everything! The matcha really settles down sweetness. For those who aren't a fan of coffee, but you still need some caffeine, this is the drink for you! Oh and their marble loaf is a must!

    Stopped by right before my flight for a must have coffee. The location is perfect, next to Gates 1-4. The line was long but the baristas kept it moving extremely fast which isn't always common for airport coffee. Amazing taste in menu items because hazelnut is my absolute favorite and it was the promoted item. I waited maybe 2 minutes before my drink was done. The wait for your drink area is kinda small and awkwardly placed but I didn't wait long to really feel it. On a much busier day it may be hard to be there. Updating because i went back for a burrito and i was highly disappointed. It's 60% tortilla. The filling is very minimal so you're paying almost 8 dollars for some egg with your tortilla

    My only option next to my gate as I was about to board. There was a long line. I took a chance and got my drink right on time when they started calling my group to board. I noticed the posted price for a large was cheaper than the regular tea latte and just for kicks, I ordered the large matcha cream strawberry latte. Confirmed that the posted price was not updated :)

    Vanilla Chai with a shot of espresso

    I'm at the John Wayne Airport for a flight this morning. Not much open but grabbed a coffee at the Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf. There was a line but it went pretty quickly. Customer service was great! Iced Vanilla Chai with a shot of espresso was pretty good.

    Not a bad coffee location here at John Wayne Airport! The cashier was quick and the staff preparing our order was quick as well. Service was good, no complaints. We ordered a Caramel Blend, an Iced Chia, some coffee cakes, and a bacon egg and cheese muffin. Food was good. And I did enjoy my Caramel blend! Very quick service. Thank you!

    If you are a fan of The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, then rejoice as there is one located in Terminal C. I'm personally not a huge fan of this chain, and wish there was a local coffee chain or even a Starbucks. Though I don't prefer their product, the service has always been quick and cordial. As for ambiance or atmosphere, there is a nice aroma of coffee/tea from the stand even though it's a small airport kiosk.

    Had a layover stopped by for coffee. The lady at the register was so nice and inviting. I ordered a iced matcha latte with a shot of espresso and oatmilk. Best one ive had and the service was quick. Also they use the small crushed ice always a plus for me.

    I was so excited to see the Coffee Bean here! at SNA. I got a Matcha blended with non fat milk and drank it all! The girl who works here is very nice!! The menu is limited, but they have enough options for most people including me!!

    Sandra R.

    Had the worst experience at this coffee shop at John Wayne TERMINAL C. Workers are RUDE egocentric and appeared to be annoyed at work! I paid $12.35 for 3 drinks and almost got drenched by the Ice Blended drink because he tossed it on the counter. Didn't even say anything as my drink bounced on the counter!

    Yogurt parfait. Came with strawberries.

The service was friendly, though understandably a bit slow because of the constant crowd. The line may look intimidating at first, but it's mostly because orders take a while to prepare rather than an overwhelming number of customers. If you visit, make sure you have plenty of time and don't mind being in a crowded space. The drinks were good overall, but definitely on the sweeter side for my taste. I'd recommend asking for less sugar or using an unsweetened oat milk option if available, since even the milk seemed to add quite a bit of sweetness. One thing that was concerning was the seating. One of the chairs at our table was already damaged, and a member of our group unexpectedly fell backward when it gave out. Thankfully no one was seriously hurt, but it was a scary experience. We showed the staff that the chair had already been broken. The chairs are quite small and delicate, so I'd suggest checking your seat before sitting down and being a little cautious. Overall, it's a nice spot if you're looking for a cute café and don't mind waiting, but I'd recommend visiting during a less busy time and customizing your drink if you prefer it less sweet.

Parking, however, due to the other popular neighboring restaurants can pose a challenge. There was a line forming, but it goes by quickly and the drinks seem prebatched to save time. Even if that was the case, their drinks are amazing. My recommendations are their Double Matcha, Matcha Einspanner, and their Pandan Coffee. All are excellent choices and the sweetness level is a good ratio for me. I kept my matcha at a regular sweetness and it was perfect. Any less, the bitter taste may be too strong for me, so I enjoyed it. The service was fast, and the matcha was definitely up to my standard.

They've got a self-ordering kiosk, or you can chat with someone at the register, which is what I did since I wanted some opinions on teas and coffee beans.

Plenty of space inside and outside to sit, and the outside seating area has umbrellas, shade, and even a giant Jenga-style game. I asked for some recommendations for tea and was pretty let down.

I asked for any unique ones and they had a lavender one, which I ended up trying. It was okay, nothing special. Very floral. I also asked for recommendations for beans that are not too acidic and had the Darkside suggested because it's their darkest roast. I'm excited to grind it up and try it!
