The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf

The first thing you’ll notice when you walk in here besides the spacious décor, is the way cool community table. I don’t know if it’s natural wood but it sure does look it. They do have plenty of seating for breakout meetings when you need to get out of the office. Don’t know about parking validation but there is plenty of meter parking if you’re driving in. I would suggest calling ahead and asking about parking & validation. Looks like all the customers are in the entertainment biz due to the location and the presence of Apple devices. Other than the layout and location, it’s the same good quality CBTL that you get everywhere.

Had a first time meeting here with one of the regular customers. I ordered an iced tea, and it came up in conversation with the cashier that I’d never been to a Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf. She said my order was on the house — wow!
Nice spot on the corner, big space inside too. We sat at the bar area in the middle and were pretty comfortable.
Parking is difficult to find, and street parking is only 2 hours, so probably not a great spot for a day of working.

Just your standard coffee shop. Nothing really special. It’s clean and there is plenty of space to work or have a conversation. Unless you work in the area there’s no parking other than the meters.

Great location, super friendly staff, it’s modern on the inside. Located in the heart of Miracle Mile, this is my go to spot for a cup of the good stuff. They’re always pouring the happy! lol

Unless you are a regular be prepared to be stared at and given the minimal amount of service (that entails giving you a receipt and your coffee and nothing else.). I came in this morning just to grab a simple drip coffee and head back home after taking my fiancée to the airport. Simple mission. There were only 4 customers (2 at the counter together, me and one guy already helped) total and 3 employees. Now I work in an upscale café so maybe my expectations are high for what customer service looks like… but when you have a couple at the counter lolligaging and looking at all the pastries you can peak your head in the direction of the one and only person in line and ask if you can get a drink started for them while the other customers are still deciding. Apparently people don’t multitask on the job like I do or we do at my work. I stood in line for at least 5 mins while those customers looked at me, the cashier looked at me and the other employees looked at me. Why they kept glancing at me, who the heck knows, but it was awkward and I didn’t need that before 7am in the morning. This is not how you run a business. You say hi to people in line and say «I’ll be with you in just a moment.» or some type of acknowledgement. Every job I’ve ever had has always encouraged acknowledging customers or patients or whoever you are helping! It’s just awkward and terrible service, especially when all 3 employees just kept looking at me and not saying ‘Hello’ and then more regulars came behind me and they got all excited to see them. For a coffee go anywhere else where you might be treated equally regardless of if you’re a regular (because you’re a person and acknowledged for being so). Just go to any of the Starbucks on Wilshire instead or any of the small coffee shops off fairfax or San Vicente or Pico. They’ll understand you don’t lag when it comes to serving coffee and how to treat people.

Welcome to the Miracle Mile! This was CBTL’s 1000^th location of all places in the world here in the Miracle Mile at 5700 Wilshire. If you are looking for CBTL HQ it’s inside the building probably upstairs. Started to go and get a nice White Chocolate Ice Blended with Ultimate Chocolate Covered Espresso Beans in the drink. I went with my sister who did not ordered anything but just water. Got my drink blended and out with the large chunks of espresso beans inside not blended well enough. Bad enough for me to almost cough on my drink. To make matters worse, this blended drink did not tasted good at all unlike the ones I went in Orange County. C’mon CBTL, this is the Miracle Mile plus 1000^th worldwide location, gotta do it better. Going back to LACMA in a few weeks so you better not downgrade me.

Michael and staff are the best! Beautiful store, great people, love it.

Popped in since I work in the building for a breakfast wrap. Yuck! Microwaved, tasted like the wrapping, tiny and $ 6 (how can they possibly charge this much for this crap!). This is the most regrettable purchase I’ve had in a while. Should’ve gone to Ralph’s to get some microwaveable breakfast sandwiches.

Best Iced Blended Mochas on the planet… ever. No fake flavoring, great whipped cream. Dreamy.

For my morning coffee and tea goers, this is where you could start your day happily. I’ve been a morning regular for five months now. With a complicated drink order, I always get a Large Moroccan Mint with Almond Milk Vanilla Powder Tea Latte. (Make sure it’s Vanilla and not chocolate to make it taste less like chocolate milk unless you’re into that.)
I really meant to rave about Donte, the morning barrista. Among five plus of us morning regulars, he without hesitation will have your drink ready for you consistently in taste and will put a smile on your face to power through the day. I never wanted to be a regular to any place but it’s worth it because of the great customer service here.
Note: there is free wifi so having journal time in the morning/​homework study sessions are appropriate here. This is also a Kosher Free place, so they will kindly ask that you not eat outside food to comply but why would you when the chocolate pumpkin muffin is absolutely to die for!

One of the best coffee beans I’ve been to. Large space, well designed, and good service. Give it a shot!

I went here today to get much needed coffee for my co-​workers and me. I had just purchased a gift card there yesterday to use for company coffee purchases and shortly thereafter, downloaded the app and loaded my card so I could pay for all of our drinks. When I went this morning, I only brought my phone and the card (just in case). Smart move on my part because after I ordered, I went to pay and unfortunately, this location does not use the app (I guess because they are new and only a trial location?). I went to hand him the card I had just purchased there yesterday and their gift card service was down! OH NO! I didn’t bring any other card or cash with me! Anthony, the cashier, said, ‘you know what, don’t worry, I’ll buy your drinks today.’ WHAT?! I said, ‘you don’t have to do that!’ but he did anyway. How amazing is that??? Now THAT’S customer service. It had been an intense morning at the office and I almost cried it at how giving that was. My company treats us to coffee everyday, and sometimes we go twice. We recently decided to try Coffee Bean (usually we go to Starbucks because it is closer) and we will definitely be coming to this location a lot! You have won our business!
And as an aside, the drinks are amazing. I know there are a few reviews that say otherwise but here’s one of the fabulous things about Coffee Bean (and Starbucks), if you don’t like it, just let them know and they’ll remake it. Chances are, a lot of these employees are new to Coffee Bean since it IS a new location, and there is always a learning curve. Everything we have gotten there has tasted fantastic but if yours doesn’t do it for you, give them the chance to make it right for you and I am certain they will.

only giving 3 stars because the space feels nice. my tea/​lemonade (attempt at an arnold palmer) was terrible. they added a lot of syrup for sweetener and pretty sure no actual lemonade. way to sweet and not cheap either. costumer service was poor at the cashier as well.

funny that all the other reviews on here are about the seating and the cleanliness instead of the drinks + food themselves. (maybe 1 other reviewer commented on how her drink tasted good)
the location is nice. sure but the drinks are terrible. you have starbucks and black dog coffee across the street. sooo much better than coffee bean… despite coffee beans promotions. just tried a $ 2 salted butterscotch coffee and it’s waaaay too sweet and gross. didn’t finish it. threw it away
have also tried in the past their regular drip coffees and i prefer to get starbucks and black dog over this place

This Coffee Bean is awesome! The Wifi is really fast and there are ample outlets. It is a very large location with many tables inside and outside. Can’t complain about ½ off blended drinks from 3 – 5 PM either. Matcha green tea blended drink ftw. It is a bit cold in here so wear pants and bring a sweater. I can’t comment on the parking sitch because I live within walking distance.

I love this new coffee bean!
This location is relatively large compared to other Coffee Beans. The staff is very friendly, the place is very clean and tons of seating. Here are some highlights:
1) Great for studying. Lots of outlets and seating. Free wifi. Not too loud in here.
2) really friendly staff
3) outdoor lounge seating
The only draw back is that you have to find street parking. I live local so I never worry about parking. However, the street parking around here is not bad.

Great lighting and very friendly staff! Just wished that they have more normal-​height tables. Also ordered a Dragonwell today and the people at the register had the «what the neck is that» look. Hopefully the training will get better.

Welcome to Miracle Mile Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf!
A very nice looking coffee shop here. I came in here after it had been open for about 2 week now. You walk in and see several lounge like couches and tables set up for socializing or just setting up your newspaper or laptop. Ambiance is subtle and cozy. If you prefer outdoor seating there is plenty of that too. Again with the stylish patio couches and pillows set near the lush landscape, you feel the setting is spacious and pleasant. Also there are some tables if you need for eating your food or conducting a quick meeting.
On the day I went, the service was awesome. Plenty of people behind the counter. 2 registers going, but they were definitely keeping up with the constant flow of customers. While I briefly waited in line one of the staff asked me if she could get me started on a hot bakery item, so it would be ready when I paid at the register. I was only 2 people away from paying. Not sure if this is grand opening service or what but it was refreshing.
Ordered the Mocha Ice Blended — for those who frequent Starbucks it’s like a frappuccuino. My drink was correct and served very quickly. I sat down for the wait and immediately was called up for pick up — YAY! Tasted very good and smooth. I’ll be sure to put this location in the mix.
Since there is the big competition rival directly across the street, it will be interesting to see how this battle of the block pans out. But one thing for sure the neighborhood has it options. Best of luck coffee cravers!

As Coffee Bean HQ just moved into this building, it’s only appropriate that they have a location here right?! Their 1,000 location and it’s the most magnificent coffee bean I’ve ever been to. Plenty of indoor AND outdoor seating + WiFi. Their regular is equivalent to a Starbucks Grande & interestingly enough, instead of syrup, they use powder! Sbux across the street should be worried!
If you go now, you can get a key fob for 10% off (valid for 3 months).
Only qualms my coworkers have is that there’s no parfait bar.
