The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf

Great coffee just like you will find and any CBTL in Singapore. Nice deserts also. The food is not the best, but I only come here for the coffee and the cake. Close to the taxi stand, so definitely a good spot to hit as you exit the mall. One thing to be aware of: Look out for the barefooted caffeine junkies doing personal hygiene as they sip their latte! :-) See included photo. Even with the occasional personal hygiene junkie taking up good seating at the CBTL, I’d happily come here any day of the week!

Looks like coffee bean had recently changed their business models! They were seen serving pasta and all day breakfast in their outlet. Perhaps its the recent Coffee Trends that triggered the soars in Coffee Business. Everyone is introducing new ‘injections’ to the cups of beverages. While cafes are sprouting out everywhere thesedays, the coffee scenes are much more interesting with Latte Arts, not just the old boring brew and foam which was used to be. What’s more these explosion of Chic Modern Ambiance designed cafes perhaps were seen a threat or rather a challenge to our Pioneers chain of Tea and Coffee café.
A dollar top up for the meal to upgrade the hot cup of beverage «Kopi O» to Kopi O Peng (Ice). We were given a number tag and had waited for our dinner patiently for about 20 minutes.
The cream that Coffee Bean used was lighter in taste with shredded cheese, pieces of ham cooked with Fettuccine. It had nothing in spectacular. It was also quite an unusual sight to have a toast served together with pasta.
Cream was light and was rather bland in taste.
Ultimate Breakfast was stomach filling, it was rather meaty with bacon, beef patties and sausages accompanied by warldof salad, scrambled egg and toast.
There are a number of choices of eateries for customer to choose from if they are going for pasta and similar items. Coffeebean maybe one of the choices, but places like Ambush and Bakerzin’s service is definitely preferred.

One of the few chains in Singapore to offer affordable all day breakfasts. Not the greatest food ever, but more than decent.
Otherwise it’s a typical Starbucks style coffee shop, with many different types of coffees and teas for your pleasure, as well as a decent selection of cakes and pastries. There are some dining options, but probably wouldn’t go for anything but the breakfasts!

The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf is located at the corner of Jurong Point. Bad thing? I don’t think so; It may actually be a good thing because though it’s small, it can be quite cozy and romantic at best.
I always order the Moroccan Mint Tea Latte whenever I come here just to read by the corner. This is during those times that you just want to hide away from the world and escape to your book’s world. It’s quite facinating as to how much time I could let pass when I’m there. Sometimes, I see cute couples enjoying their time together (like celebrities hiding out from the papparazzi). I’m not a big fan of their food, but they’re not a all bad, there’s just nothing that’s outstanding for me.
If you’re up for enjoying a drink by yourself, Coffeebean is a good place to do so.
