Cashiers were lovely, my drink wasn't bad. It was recommended by one of the ladies behind the counter. She asked me to let her know my opinion on it. They have a loyalty system as well so check that out.
This Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf opened up about 4 weeks ago in this location and is a branch of the California based chain that competes with Starbucks and Peet's Coffee on the west coast.
The first time my baby tried it was in San Francisco in 2010 and it was some of the best lattes that a chain can ever offer. I had incredible withdrawal until NYC was smart enough to welcome the Coffee Bean a few years back with its initial Midtown West location and it has now sprung to a handful of locations across the island.
I highly recommend the tea lattes, however I am not a huge fan of the frozen drinks. It suffers from the exact opposite of Starbucks. At SBUX you can spew out up to 5-10 different adjectives to describe your perfect caffeine jolt whereas there doesn't appear to be any customization here, the frozen drinks come as is. At least that's the impression I got from the barista.
Had a nice time with a refreshing iced tea while I charged my phone and finished some work. Everyone 9was nice and the bathroom painting of a massive cup of coffee was cool. Not a whole lot of outlets though sadly.
Awesome, spacious location. I came in for a quick drink, late at night, so not sure how this location is during a regular day.
They're a little slow with making the drink, but the drink was delicious. No complaints…yet….
Decided to pop in here one weekend upon learning that my friends have never tried this coffee place before! I was look forwarding to have an excuse to come here, especially when I was walking home on my last day of my internship and discovered they officially opened in the Meatpacking District.
We ordered two regular vanilla blends and one mocha blend and they were all divine. So pure and delicious. The purple straws are a huge plus – I love me some color or rather sipping on a cold beverage from a colorful straw. The size of the regular was pretty big from what you would expect from a 'regular' size! Our orders came fairly quickly and the people behind the counter were neither nice or rude but were focused on strictly doing their job. If you've read my other reviews, you know that I like to get to the point of whatever place I'm visiting – depending on the establishment.
The space here is fairly large with a lot of space to do some work, read, people watch and enjoy your beverages at your own pace. Aside from coffee, tea and juice they also have flavored water, pastries and macaroons! A plus is that they offer free Wi-Fi as well but left me noticing that it makes a great excuse for people to loiter but hey, if you're going to loiter then you're in luck, the staff won't bother you! A prime location, great service and vanilla blends – I'll be back whenever I'm in the area again.
