The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf

I like their teas, but I am not a big fan of how they use powders to make their blended coffee drinks. So disgusting.

Nice location in Marketplace.
Staff are friendly!!!
Have a place outside you could sit on the soft couch by the fireplace!!!
Perfect, relax and sip my favorite Malibu Dream!!!

What’s not to like. All you ‘coffee beaners’ know how it’s like. Cappuccinos, sandwiches, munchies, wifi, the usual. It’s getting a bit heavy on the laptop-​cable-​charger-​student-​worker side. It’s time someone opened a cool co-​working space WITH café in this market place.

Your typical corner café, round choices of dollars drinks and sweets. Try their hot white chocolate, its to die for. Staff is friendly and efficient. Seating are alright for a café, outside seating are available as well but without umbrellas.

I love the location of this place because it is such a great area to relax with a cup of coffee.
The staff are all extremely friendly and welcoming. Every time I go in, I feel like I have long conversations with the staff and I love it! Having a happy atmosphere just makes your experience always so much better.
My favorite drink to get here is the dark forest. It’s a blended drink that tastes like a chocolate covered cherry. It’s the perfect drink to grab when you are off to tackle a full day of shopping. Overall I love this place and it’s my go to at Tempe Marketplace.

As we were standing in line the people before us asked what size they wanted and replied «viente». The snarky clerk literally rolls her eyes and laughs under her breath as she says we don’t do those-​we have regular sizes here. We couldn’t believe how rude she was to these poor people. As we were ordering, my boyfriend asked if they did blended drinks, like a frappuccino. She proceeded to say «we don’t do that here. we aren’t Starbucks.» It was almost comical how rude this girl was! I work in the food industry myself, and would HIGHLY suggest this girl go get another job so she doesn’t turn more customers away. This was absolutely ridiculous.

For dessert-​like coffee drinks, this is your place. Their winter selections are great, and I like that they offer various milk alternatives such as soy, almond, and coconut milk. They also offer some sugar free syrups, but they are limited to mocha/​chocolate, and vanilla.
I’ve had their peppermint mocha, and peppermint vanilla latte, and both were crafted with just the right amount of foamy, frothy (Almond) milk, syrup, and coffee. Service was great and my drink was made in a short amount of time.
Seating is somewhat limited inside, although there are more tables and chairs outside.

Their Iced Mocha is really good. I’m not to big on the bagels. That’s the only reason I took off a star, everything from service to drinks is awesome!!!

I came in town for the week and stopped by this Coffee Bean location. I love the location at an outdoor mall. Coffee Bean is hands down better than Starbucks. I always stop at one when in CA or AZ. I love the Ultimate Mocha blended drink with coffee beans. This is similar to the Java chip at Starbucks but it taste so much better then at Starbucks. So if your in town, I recommend paying this location a visit and enjoy their coffee. At the same time catch a movie or shop while your here. I wish they would have more locations in Texas.

All of the ice blended drinks are fantastic, but what really impressed me was the service. Very helpful and friendly staff!

Large Chai please! Yummy

I’ve visited this location several times over the last year. The coffee is on the weak side but good, the atmosphere is clean and the wi-​fi is sufficient (but annoyingly time-​limited). Perhaps the only thing that really compels me to rate this place 3 stars as opposed to 4 is the irksome little reminder to «get up and stretch or get another coffee» each time your Wi-​Fi allotment expires and you have to wait to renew. A writer, I sit for long stretches of time working my craft — its really disruptive to my train of thought having to pause for 5 – 10 minutes and be told to «get up and stretch, walk around, or get another cup of coffee.» But, this is coming from a guy who takes offense to the Walgreens cashier ending my transaction with «Be well.»

This was a neat little place (colorful and fun looking). I wouldn’t say I was wowed away nor was I disappointed with my experience (food wise). I’d like to give this place another go before I make up my mind about whether to like or dislike this place. As of right now, I view them as about average with friendly staff and a nice place to chill.
The original mocha ice blended I had was pretty good. The smallest size they had was quite big to me. I guess that’s why their prices are a bit higher (?). Unfortunately, that was the only thing I tried so I can’t recommend other items. From what I observed though, this place is pretty popular.

Two things: One, please don’t eat behind the counter while customers are in the store. Two, please don’t touch the lid of my drink if you didn’t wash your hands. That’s disgusting and that happened today at around 1pm.
I am a barista at a local coffee roaster in Tempe so I completely understand that coffee shop jobs are very relaxed, but you still have a responsibility to make sure you’re following health code standards especially when it comes to someone else’s drink.
The cashier was nice and all but when he told me how much money i owed, he had a burp he couldn’t hold in, covered his mouth, burped, took my money, gave me my change, started prepping my drink. Kinda weird, didn’t think anything of it. But then, while I was waiting for my drinks, he interacted with another family, popped some food in his mouth, then took one of my two coffees and put the lid on it right in front of me, covering the lid holes with his fingers while the barista capped the other. Not once did I see this guy walk to the sink to wash.
I left grossed out, kind of not wanting to come back but I’m not driving to Scottsdale to get a hazelnut coffee whenever I have a craving for it.
At least my drink was good.

Grabbed a mocha/​caramel iced coffee blend and it put Starbuck’s Frappucinos to shame. You learn something new everyday I see. My new go-​to caffeine shop.

I’m thirsty, I want coffee, the doors were open… it was practically calling my name.
I walk in and panic sets in. I’m not familiar with the menu, one of my kiddos needs a napkin and is yanking on my pant leg, there’s an annoying teenager in the corner yelling that he wants a Frappuccino (the barista suggests a similar drink for him trying to not show her obvious annoyance)…aaahhhhh! I’m not prepared for this.
I get an iced tea. I didn’t want an iced tea, I wanted coffee. I have a whole pitcher of iced tea in my fridge at home. Damn! It was good though.
I’ll be back, next time for coffee. I won’t let my lack of preparedness and shared annoyance with other patrons keep me away.

All I can say is, need to focus on customer service. Dont give customers attitude when you serve them cold coffee when customer specifically requested brewed «hot» coffee. After I got my cold coffee, I requested to use microwave to warm it up, female employee gave me a rude look kind of attitude and here I am!

This is a great little place to do homework at if you can get there early enough to snag a table. Seating is limited and tables are usually taken with students with their laptops and notes strewn across the table.
Baristas are always very friendly and quick.
I’m currently addicted to their vanilla iced latte. Try it.

This location is a bit smaller than other Coffee Bean locations I’ve been to.
They have FREE WIFI (you have to look at the TV screen and on the bottom, there’s an access code) It kicks you out after 2 hours and then will log you back in 10 minutes later.
The baristas here are friendly and aren’t overly talkative.
It’s great if you’re shopping at the Tempe Marketplace to come by and get some coffee.
Their standard milk is nonfat which is great for the calorie conscious! But they do have whole milk for those who like their fatty moo-​juice.

If you’re in the Tempe market place this is a good little spot to stop and enjoy a nice caffeinated beverage. Nice menu and lots of variety with flavors. Tried the iced peach latte and it was fricken delicious. boyfriend even had one and loved it and he is not a coffee fan at all. Its location is perfect as well. Right by the waterfall, so at night it’s nice to sit here and enjoy the pretty color changing waterfall and but of course people watch. duh!
check it out. good stuff.
