The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf

Ivan & Roxie are always so sweet! They always get my order right with fast & friendly service. It’s located in the beautiful new court house but the only issue is the parking situation. Otherwise, I love stopping by!

I have always been a die hard Starbucks fan (gold member), but when I finally gave Coffee Bean a try, I noticed what I had been missing. They have the best blended drinks– Starbucks doesn’t even compare. I had the vanilla blended drink and was very pleased with my order.

Excellent selection of coffee and pastries for a delicious morning! Service was quick and the staff are friendly. I also got a stamp card where I’ll get a free drink after 10 stamps.
The stamp card has made it a mission for me to come back.

Staff remembers all the morning customers’ names and drinks are always on point! Even being a gold member for over 5 years at sbux you can find me at this CBTL Monday through Friday. They started offering free delivery in the morning for the late risers :)

This place is awesome! They are super fast and friendly. I would recommend this place! I’m glad they accept gift cards now

I love Coffee Bean, plain and simple! I have since I was a kid. I love that they will make you special drink concoctions if you request, and are really nice and accommodating about it. So why not five stars? Any other Coffee Bean would receive a five star review, but despite all the convenience of being right in the building where I work, they do not accept the Coffee Bean gift card!!! What is the deal with that? Originally, when they opened, I was told they system was not set up to take them yet. Then I was informed that the owner of this particular franchise decided not to honor the gift cards… I didn’t even know that was an option. Their saving grace is now they offer a stamp card (started about 2weeks ago). After 10 drinks, you get a free drink and item from the pastry case. I am not pleased that they don’t accept gift cards, but the convenient location and stamp card made them once again worthy of my business…

Worst coffee bean ever.
I was pretty excited when I found out that a coffee bean was being put in close to where I live. Greenhouse isn’t within walking distance, Birdcage doesn’t take cards (what’s the deal with that?) and Starbucks is… well it’s Starbucks.
However, this place is terrible. The hours are strange, they don’t keep normal hours, the service i poor. The coffee they serve here doesn’t taste as good as other locations. Today was the final straw when I went in to order a coffee and they told me they didn’t accept the Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf card as a form of payment. They didn’t say their system was down and they couldn’t take it, they said they didn’t accept their own companies gift card as a form of payment.
Seriously, screw this place you’re better off at it’s a grind or even Starbucks.

Whoever decided to put a Coffee Bean and Subway at the courthouse is a genius. MUCH better than having to walk past sketchy Lincoln Park to get my morning pick-​me-​up before heading into the courtroom.
First time I came here they had only been open for two days and the staff was very friendly and got my order right! Great start to a newly opened business!
