Short and sweet review here. Excellent location for this coffee bean & tea leaf. My friend and I were doing a long stroll through the shops at Santa Anita mall and we were both thirsty, and this small chain was right there. I am not sure I have seen a coffee bean in a mall before, so thank you to the store and mall for this. We got a small coffee and a mocha latte and both hit the spot. Quick service too. Happy customers. read more

The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Arcadia, California

Needed a caffeine fix while shopping with teenagers. Coffee Bean was the first shop I came across so I jumped right in line. A smiling and very polite young man greeted me at the counter and took my order; a simple iced vanilla latte. The price point for the drink was $6.25, pretty standard. I was not happy about seeing the extra $0.90 for milk substitute when I requested almond milk. I took a mental note about the fee but didn't make any changes to my order. I wanted to be petty about the upcharge but reigned myself in when my drink was made rather promptly and it tasted better than I had expected. A little sweet but the espresso was strong and not overwhelmed by the vanilla syrup. Quality customer service and quality food/drink items go a long way with me so I'll overlook the upcharge for this review. This Coffee Bean location has either hired the right staff or provided stellar training. Good on you Coffee Bean! read more

While at the mall with my mom we wanted coffee and we spotted The Coffee Bean. I ordered an iced coffee and milk on the side. I honestly didn't taste any coffee, it was so watered down. I was very disappointed. My mom got a latte and she said it was good so at least she was happy. Customer service was ok Two tables nearby in case you want to sit and take a break. They sell food items and snacks. Overall a good stop for some treats. read more

NAH! April 9, 2026. I was surprised to see the rating of this place was only 3 stars before i tried it. I arrived just as they opened. I got no greeting. In fact person who took my order made no eye contact and was short with me getting my order. Rude and robotic off the bat, we had no conversation prior to me placing the order, i had only a few moments been looking at the menu but didn't walk up to the counter to order until they opened at 930am. It was the shorter darker hair of the 2 women who was working this morning. (This place gets points for the drink, which was really good). First order of the day and you're already a grouch? Thanks lady, you know how to make a person's day. Maybe she herself hadn't had her coffee yet. Be better at customer service, that's your tip. read more

I had a gift card to spend so I decided to place my order online. I got a caramel ice blended drink and the total came out to $5 because there was a promotion going on. After I ordered, the coffee bean app said that it would be ready in 10 minutes so I just stayed around the area in case it was ready before the 10 minutes were up. I was waiting for my name to be called but it was never called it out. I went up to the pick up station to check with the barista to see how much longer it will be when I noticed it had been more than 10 minutes, but I saw there was a drink that looked like an ice blended sitting on the counter. I wasn't sure if it was even mine because they didn't say who it was for nor was there a name written on the cup. Thankfully, the drink turned out to be mine, but who knows how long my drink was sitting there, ready to be picked up because none of the baristas bothered to call out my name. Other than that, the drink itself was really good! I would definitely come back again for another ice blended drink. I've tried the hazelnut ice blended, which was equally as delicious. read more

We had to wait for a while in line. Not sure why when there were 3 employees. Drink was amazing though.. would come back for it. Would probably do mobile order next time, they seem to make the drinks faster that way. read more

Eeeep. This is only regarding the food. I tried the Too Good to Go app for the first time here and so got 3 items. They're all awesome seeming and delicious at first, but when I got home to check: Food: -spinach egg white wrap; was soggy and rotten, it tasted funky and had little specks on it already -protein box: the egg in this was beginning to get weird smelling, so didn't finish -caprese sandwich: there was mold on the edge of the cheese.. I understand it was the too good to go program but they grabbed these from the display case around 5:45p when I went for a pick up so it was still selling to customers. The service was good and they were nice, but I didn't even realize these were going bad til I got home. read more

The staff at this location have changed so much over the last few months but they are consistently great and I hope they acknowledge how lucky they are to have them! Shout out to Dez and Maia for a great experience read more

Service was excellent. Associates were very nice and greeted with big smiles. I visited the day of a promo; $4 blended iced mocha. I was ordering 2, but the associate said the promo is only 1 per order, but I did have a 1/2 off offer. In the end my order only came out to $5.00 which made me extremely happy. The ice blended mocha at Coffee Bean is so rich and has great mocha flavor. Experience and drink, a big thumbs up. read more

I was very disappointed with my visit to the Santa Anita Mall Coffee Bean today around 4:40 PM. I ordered a large iced vanilla latte with an extra espresso shot, but because the cup was filled with ice, only part of my coffee mixture fit. When I politely asked for the remaining portion, the barista and another staff member refused and threw it away, even though I had paid for it. The drink I received was watered down, and I felt dismissed and humiliated as a customer. read more

I love Coffee Bean! This is my go-to coffee shop before going to work! Their matcha is delicious, as well as their Americano! The service is super nice and friendly, and are always very accomodating! Though there is a long line at times, I highly reccomend going in the morning to avoid waits! I really like the workers Alex and Kenneth, they are always very sociable and make my day! read more

I went through the drive through and ordered two drinks last week using the buy one get one deal and the service was kind and got my drinks out promptly! I got the ice blended salted maple drink and the pumpkin chai. The ice blended maple was good! But the pumpkin chai lacked a sweetness that the ice blended pumpkin usually has. Both drinks with the deal was around $6 read more

Experienced a nice take out order here, but I'm not sure why this cafe currently is sitting on 3 stars. The barista I came across today was super friendly, efficient and helpful. I wanted to try their avocado toast which was tasty including the toast piece. I ordered English Breakfast tea (hot) to go. I stayed an hour just to finish taking pics of this cafe and around the Santa Anita Mall, Arcadia, CA. before the weather turned colder. Thanks for a great time here today. I'll be back!!!! read more

today, i used my rewards points to get a free drink when i received my drink i noticed that the drink wasn't filled only to open the drink and it was halfway. i was very disappointed that my drink wasn't filled to the top. noticed that the cup was mostly filled with foam. very disappointed , especially because i love coffee bean. won't be stopping by at this location anymore. read more

Twice I ordered my drink and someone took it. They don't monitor or verify the on line orders. I was 5 miles way and got notified that my drink was completed. Lol. And another time I was inside the mall , but came in 8 minutes as the Ap indicated and my drink was gone! read more

It's been a while since I've been to Coffee Bean so when I saw they had a Vietnamese cold brew coffee and a BOGO promotion, I thought it was the perfect time to revisit Coffee Bean. The one in the Arcadia mall was the closest to me and I stopped by during the weekday. The wait wasn't too long to order and to receive my drink. Very helpful employee taking my order too. Unfortunately, that's all that's good with Coffee Bean. The bad was that: 1) they would not take my reusable tumbler for the coffee (hence why I go to Starbucks for coffee and local mom and pop shops that take my reusable cups for boba) 2) the Vietnamese cold brew coffee was not good at all. Tasted neither like Vietnamese coffee nor cold brew. On my rankings of coffee chains, just barely above Dunkin' and way below Starbucks. Not sure I'll be back to Coffee Bean anytime soon. I used to order their iced blended drinks all the time in college but now that I can't drink that much grams of sugar in a drink per day, there's nothing drawing me back here. Sorry! =/ read more

The managers there have the worst customer service the two tall American ladies. I have filed a complaint with the general manager already.

COVID-19: Social distancing is enforced at this establishment. All of the staff wears a mask. All customers are expected to wear a mask too. The staff also wear gloves. There are some hand sanitizers available for customers to use. This place is available for take outs and has no outdoor seating available with limited capacity. They are also sanitizing in between customers. While I was grabbing my drink from this establishment yesterday, I asked if they had any special offers and they weren't offering any at the moment. They currently don't have happy hour. They also do not allow pets in their establishment. Parking: This establishment is located inside the Westfield Santa Anita mall, so parking can be pretty difficult. However, during the pandemic, parking is super easy. Plenty of parking spots to choose from. Take your pick. Food: I didn't order any food, but I did get a drink. I ordered the matcha latte. It was pretty good. Not super sweet. I hate super sweet matcha lattes. It was just perfect for me. Staff: The staff here is super nice and welcoming. read more

First visit to The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf... Located at Westfield Arcadia Mall in Los Angeles, this kiosk is between Godiva Chocolatier and Michael Kors. There's lots of free parking at the mall! I know that there are locations on Oahu, but none are convenient for me. My friend, Lyla, sent me information about the app and I installed it, but never used it until now because... I hadn't eaten all day, so I was open to any suggestion. An email from The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf popped up on my notifications. It said that I could get a $3 Regular Sized Blended Drink during Social Hour. Okay! I'll try it! I went up to the helpful cashier who named all of the flavors that I could choose from. I picked matcha since it seemed the healthiest...lol! I liked it! Not too bitter, not too sweet, and refreshingly cool on a relatively warm Southern California afternoon! I'm glad that I finally got a chance to try a beverage at this coffee chain. Looking forward to trying more menu items! read more

This review is for the CBTL at the Arcadia mall. My GF and I have been here many times. The good: Convenient location and drinks are delicious. I've been drinking Starbucks matcha lattes consistently for 15+ years. These are better. The bad: Employees are relatively indifferent. They request a name for the order, but there are no names or stickers on the cups. Nobody knows whose drinks are whose at the pick-up counter. This is a VERY easy fix. Management is completely apathetic and won't fix it, thus a steady parade of mediocre reviews that result in no improvements. Somebody slept through Business 101. read more

If hygiene is important to you, you might want to try a different place. The mall has only been open for an hour, so there's no reason for dirty counters, lackluster service and warm coffee. I m eating a caprese sandwich. The filling is delicious, but warm soggy ciabatta bread ( no panini grill here, just microwave) and the cappuccino is not hot. The napkin holder is almost empty and the napkins are coffee stained The Coffee bean In Montrose is stellar. always clean, even when they're packed , great coffee and friendly service. Guys, what's going on here? read more

Staff is very unfriendly and charging for water?! Your competitor (Starbucks) has friendly staff and they don't charge for a cup of water. Come on. It's not about the money it's the principle of it. If you are going to charge for water then your staff should clarify it before checking out. Wouldn't recommend this coffee bean read more

I ordered tropical iced tea as I do at least once a week. The lid was not closed right so I spilled on myself, there were no napkins to be found so I asked for some, and it took a few minutes till the person gave it to me. Then I tasted the iced tea and it was not tropical so I told the lady who had helped me that it was not tropical ice tea and she said "I am sorry you can't taste it but it is tropical" then I had my son taste it just to confirm and he said it was not tropical. So she said, would you like a refund? I said yes so when I went to get the refund, I told her I just want you to know that I order this all the time and this is not tropical iced tea. It must be miss labeled. I said you don't care do you she goes you're right I don't and then she gave me my refund and I walked away. That was the most horrible experience ever. read more

Always like their tea offerings. Last year our son got us their tea set with varieties from China, Sri Lanka, and England. Delicious for our breakfast as afternoon tea. After shopping at the mall, we stopped by to get our favorite tropical ice tea. The tea was very aromatic and tasty. I like the small ice balls they used for the tea which keep the tea cold and easy to drink. Besides tea, their coffees are very good. I prefer their coffee over Starbucks. While I was in Singapore for a business trip, I drank their coffee almost everyday which kept me awake in the hot weather. If you're Hungary, like Starbucks, they also offer sandwiches and pastries. I like their chicken wrap the best. It's healthy and tasty. The only thing with this tea and coffee chain is that they don't have that many shops around. You have to travel to get to one of them. But it's all worth it with good teas they have to offer. read more

Not so nice staff member I had a horrible encounter with a female staff member she was working on 11/11/24 from 11:00-2:00pm with 2 braids and a black bandana. I waited 30min for my drink just to then see that they made my drink wrong after I had asked if my drink was ready, she tried saying it was my fault and that I ordered it iced blended when I never said blended I only said iced, and while I was waiting 30 min for my drink after waiting 30min in line I asked for a cup of water before the male staff member could even answer me she cuts him off and tells me I need to get back in the long line and pay the 25 cents for a water shortly after that a separate customer asks the male staff member for a cup of ice and he serves it to him I then ask if I can have my water since that man didn't even pay for his and the rude female staff member chimes in again and says he prepaid when he did not because she wasn't even there to see which customer it was, when she did finally give me my drink she didn't even acknowledge me or tell me it was mines and I had to ask her if this was my new drink Also my dad had tipped them $7 before all this rudeness happened which he regretted My coffee bean near me would never treat me this way read more

We went on memorial day, there was a buy one get on free for ice blended coffee drinks. We got 4 of them hazelnut, dark chocolate, midnight cookies and cream, and midnight cookies and cream with almond milk. The midnight cookies and cream kind of taste like chocolate milk, the coffee taste isn't that strong. We also bought a small cheese cake with it. Everything taste good and all the workers are really polite. read more

Staff Members ignore costumers that are waiting in line. while they have conversations with others, just holding up the line. When it's busy I understand that drinks can take up to 40mins to make, but when it's not busy at all.... u waited up to 30mins & they were just Chitt chatting about whatever randomness such as make up & not brewing the coffee I ordered. I had to remind the young employee that I had ordered about 22 mins prior & no one else had been in front or behind me in line to take that long. she just gave me a look. When 2 others came to order, she worked on theirs first & I had to ask her for my order again in which she finally started making it which only took her about a minute to make an iced coffee -_-. This coffee bean is the worst!!!!!. The Older woman is so friendly & sweet & I couldn't ask her anything because she went on her break. The younger Guy & Younger Girl are so lazy & need to be trained better! I don't recommend this spot at all. read more

Luckily there was no long line so that was great. They have social distance markers in the floor. They customized my drink for me. I asked for something with coffee and sweet. They gave me a hot vanilla latte with white mocha. It was a great choice, hot and yummy didn't get any of the harsh taste. read more

Terrible Terrible Terrible. Never got my free drink. Horrible service. Never have I seen customers treated so disrespectfully. Many customers were complaining about their orders taking too long. When someone asked where their drink was, the customer got yelled at by the employee. When she complained to the manager, she said go ask him. She was not friendly at all. The worker making the drinks kept dropping spoons, equipment, and other items used to make the drinks on the floor. When the guy hit the ice scooper bucket, it fell on the floor and was not washed! Every time a customer asked where their order was, they got yelled at by the employees and said they were really busy. I was afraid to ask where my drink was. Sure enough, when I asked I got yelled at by an employee. When I mentioned that I understood they were busy but the way they were talking to the customers was disrespectful, I got yelled at again. "What did I do, what did I do?" was the reply from the worker. I was just attempting to get my free drink and could not even get it because when I asked, I would get yelled at. I was not the only customer who was getting frustrated due to the experience and extremely poor service. I will not be ordering from this location. My review account is my personal experience and the experience of other customers who were here on Sat. March 18. read more
