Good Morning... I seriously don't know how I did 5am shifts for work but then again I was much younger...sigh! Early morning car repair got me up early as this one would take awhile I decided to grab something for breakfast and what better place than right here at The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf as I don't know about you I think they have one of the best grab and go bites. With items like pastries, wraps, sandwiches, parfait...even fresh fruits and veggies bowls all and they open at 5am is appreciated. Even as I walked in and glanced at the display case I was warmly greeted by a staff instantly so nice especially in the early morning. I got the Turkey Pesto Sandwich and was offered if I wanted it heated which I was thrilled it can be done and didn't take long at all though this Market City location is shared side space with Foodland it's a bit on the small side as it's more long and narrow space so it makes it hard to crowd without block the flow of traffic which is quite heavy for this early morning hour. The vibe is a bit rushed for probably the regulars who know what they want as I contemplated on having a drink as well decided not to but was happy to have something warm to hold me over versus a cold danish. Thank you! read more

Stopped by to try their matcha! Ended up ordering two of those eight dollar deals which includes a large drink and a pastry. I got the iced strawberry Matcha with almond milk and a Matcha cookies and cream drink. Banana bread for the pastry. The strawberry Matcha drink was good, but nothing too special. The matcha cookies and cream tasted different than I've had it in the past, tasted coconut in it. read more

Refreshing beverage in Market City, Honolulu, Hawaii... I saw an Instagram post that advertised $3 for any Matcha beverage purchased on 7-7-25... Sounds good to me! I've been to this location of The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf several times. It's been awhile since my last visit, so I forgot that one of the entrances is through Foodland! LOL! I entered through the door that faces Kapiolani Boulevard. Inside the cozy shop, there are two small tables with chairs for customers to enjoy their purchases. I took my Matcha Latte to go. It's odd that the Manoa location charged me $3.14... because our sales tax is 4.712%. I paid 99 cents more at this Market City location because coconut milk was used. It makes me wonder what was used instead of coconut milk at the Manoa location... Anyway, my Loyalty Card was stamped and I went on my way! read more

My "go to" coffee place because 1) we don't have it in Seattle, and 2) coffee is way better than Starbucks. Go almost every morning. Shop is busy but my drinks are always made well.

The Vietnamese cold brew and new horchata cold brew were perfect! Not too sweet, refreshing and coffee-forward. When it comes to CBTL, I prefer their teas over coffee but the cold brews are solid ... well, they're liquid but the taste is solid! Quality drinks and even higher quality service. No matter what hour of the day, no matter how busy, the employees are friendly and make a perfect brew. Highly recommend! read more

The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf - Latte Menu (April 2024) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

This location is one of my favorites just because it's close to home, but the worst part is the parking lot. I swear it takes forever to get parking because you have foodland and then all the other restaurants surrounding that area. Relatively small on side with maybe like 3 seats available. My go to drink her is the plantation iced tea, iced matcha latte, and recently their new matcha strawberry cream. Plantation iced tea just hits for a good price even for the jumbo. Not too sweet which is like the best compliment. I was iffy about the matcha strawberry cream at first because I didn't think they would mix well. To my surprise it's great. The strawberry adds a nice sweet acidic tang too the matcha. read more

Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf -Market City Ive been coming to this location for years because of its convenient hours and location, but after this morning's experience, I think it might be time to move on. I arrived right around 7am and ordered two drinks. I understood it was a bit busy, and I was the fifth customer waiting. After a while, one of my drinks was placed on the counter--no name called, no communication. I had to walk up and ask if it was mine, and even then, I got no response. I took the drink and waited patiently for the second. Several customers were served after me. After seeing five drinks go out, I approached the counter again to ask about my second drink. The cashier and barista said nothing--just exchanged small talk--before the barista finally started making my drink. When it was done, it was placed on the counter again with no name called. I had to walk up and ask if it was mine, again. I told the barista that, in customer service, at the very least, you acknowledge when you overlook someone's order. Instead, I was met with silence. Eventually, the barista mumbled that she had lost her voice. That was it--no apology, no effort to make things right. I get that mistakes happen. But it's how you handle those moments that make the difference. The lack of communication and basic acknowledgment was disappointing. Unfortunately, this was the final straw for me. Time to start going back to Starbucks. read more

I always come here but the workers here are getting worse and worse.. attitude and no friendliness. When they make a mistake, I've gotten no sorry and gotten cold attitude. Also recently went and got a large drink and they didn't even fill it to the top, I pointed it out and she said she could put more ice, mind you it was already full of ice I said I didn't want more ice..wtheck.ALSO BURNT My breakfast sandwich! Clear black on the top I should have took a picture of the first one but the girl that was warming it up said I could get another one...she said doesn't control the temp...um then why don't you have common sense to make the time less?? Elizabeth was rude and she made the drink. Ugh I like Ala Moana or kapahulu locations a little more as well as I havent really gotten bad service. I do have to note, prices have gone up too over the years but what keeps me coming back are the many options/flavors and ease of ordering. At this market city location they said they do not do avocado toast any more.. read more

The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf - Seriously does this look full? - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

During my visit some friends of mine wanted a drink and there was issues with a newbie placing a promoted drink that wasn't listed as an option on the register apparently so that took awhile without any communication to us as we are standing in line. Then there was problems with accepting Apple Pay and my friend had to do it 3x. This should have been signs not to place an order but i waited this whole time without apology or acknowledgment to our group of 5 for the wait. The newbies trainer took my order and my newbie made my drink which she spilled a bit on the counter while making and then cleaned up my drink. It didn't like ube and it was just whipped cream and ice. Don't recommend at all. read more

Honestly so disappointing when you pay for something and most of it is all ice and it doesn't even taste like how it's supposed to. 3/4 of the cup was ice.

Coffee is life for me and I live off of it. This "bean water" as Joyce W would say is a major food group in my diet. This Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf is located in Market City Shopping Center inside of Foodland. There is seating available both inside and outside. I've been coming here more often because it's so close and Mink likes the flavor of their coffee slightly more than Starbucks. They have a stamp card so make sure to get one. I wish they had an app that automatically tracks your purchases like Starbucks. Why am I giving them only 2 stars? During several visits, I ordered the large light roast but they didn't have any. I need coffee so I go with their dark roast. They never fill it up to the top. I don't understand that because I always tell them I don't add cream or sugar. With the large, I get a regular cups worth of coffee. If I get their regular, I get even less coffee. This is mind boggling. I figured my last visit would be different because I donated to their charity but same thing again, coffee wasn't filled even close to the top. Not happy or pleased...I feel like I'm getting ripped off. read more

The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf - Dark Roast...definitely not filled to the top, not even close... - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Mo' Joe Mondays, Summer Time Sips, and Treat Yo'self Thursdays are the specials that get me to go to Coffee Bean Hawaii for my afternoon breaks. The drink specials are $2 or $3. My favorite beverage is the plantation ice tea and I highly recommend it if you're looking for something refreshing, fruity and just a small dose of caffeine. For pastries, I love the 4 cheese bruschetta but I rarely see it when I go in the afternoons. I'm not sure if they still make that but I have seen the margherita bruschetta. This location has 2 entrances/exits and the space is small. You can enter from Foodland by the customer service desk or from the glass doors on Harding Ave. For social distance, they have the line forming from the Foodland side so it might be better to enter from there and exit from the Harding Ave. door. There's always 2 people working, 1 barista and 1 cashier. I usually get my drink in about 5 minutes. read more

The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf - lilikoi lemonade - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Where to begin, we stopped by to grab a cool caffeinated beverage because it's that time of that day where tiredness kicking in yet so much to do. The overall experience we had in this establishment was definitely weird. The register person didn't seem to want to help us as far as taking our order while the barista was eager to make our drink. And the I think we were over charge for what we ordered which was a small oat milk chocolate mocha with extra mocha was worth $9.00. I suppose we could've just gone to a local coffee shop and received better experience for that price. The area was considerably clean well kept. As far as future business, it's probably going to be a hard pass. I'll just keep driving to the next coffee shop. read more

Got the Likikoi Lemonade and the flavor was super yummy and refreshing! But that was the only thing that was good. We also got a matcha latte and it was horrible. There was no flavor at all and the barista barely put ice in the drink so it was difficult to drink, wasn't worth going back and having them remake it again. The service was kind of slow for there being only a few customers. read more

Haven't been here in awhile, but after this mornings rush to get a hot tea latte, I quickly remembered why. First off, there was no line this morning at 8:30am. SHOCKER! After I did a quick lunch grab at Foodland, I figured "it's raining, Tea sounds good" so I went in to The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf (TCBTL) that is connected to the Market. There was only one girl before me, who was busy chatting it up with the register person and TCBTL's regular customer- One aunty with dreads that is always there, she cool and I get the whole vibe thing in this store so I didn't mind the 30 second wait, as soon as the girl realized I was behind her, she ordered and moved right along. So I ordered my drink. An extra hot Chai Tea Latte with Soymilk. By the time I completed my transaction, there were two other people behind me, so I moved to the side. Granted, I got a hot drink, extra hot at that, so I wasn't too irked about the two men getting their cold drinks before me. What irked me was that my drink took 7 minutes to make with 5 "chatty kathy" baristas behind the bar. FIVE baristas trying to make ONE drink, and at this point the store is empty. But STILL, I was irked but kept the faith because I wanted that hot tea latte! So whatever, waited 5 hours later (what feels like) and finally got my drink. Get in the car and hurry off to work, in traffic. The first sip I take is when I get on the freeway and my drink tastes like hot watery milk! &&&& THe fricken thing doesn't even taste like SOY! & I KNOW that's an EXTRA CHARGE! UGHHH! Now I am pissed! I thought, "I should go back and make a scene, this is not right." But F**k losing MORE money to turn this B*tch around and waste my gas for one $8 drink, and probably, with my luck, end up on Hungry Hungry Hawaiian! "F**k That" All the things I didn't let get the best of me in the store, just to have my $8 drink taste like something I could've made with the damn Keurig at work, that would've probably even taste BETTER than this Sh*t! I was livid! Still am! ( Whoooosahhhhhhhh) So here I am, throwing my own b*tch fit, writing a review that nobody would probably read, but for my sanity, I do it. ALL while forcing myself to gulp down this, now, luke warm, watery milk (NOT the upsell SOY) that I paid $8 for.....because as much as I am mad and hate the way it tastes, I am also "CHANG!" Some of you will not understand that, for the ones that do, Pray for me! read more

Sometimes I feel like I am cheating on Starbucks. Apparently, that's what I did when I came to coffee Bean and tea leaf. It is weird. I decided to check out this new Vietnamese place here at the Market City shopping Center on a crisp November morning 2021. I had time to kill and needed a drink. Decided to check it out versus getting cold water at the Foodland next door, which usually is cheaper anyhow. My experience here at the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf here at Market City shopping center lasted about 7 minutes in total. I spent about 2 minutes deciding what I want and asking the staff there if they had the same sizes Starbucks had (or similar). Luckily - or unluckily, their large size is more of a medium really and it was close to $5. The price point was a bit more expensive than Starbucks. I ordered iced tea and I guess the perceived value didn't do much for me. Although the black tea was interesting to taste, the quality was okay and interesting. The staff here was friendly, so that was cool too. The overall experience here at the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf here at the Market City Shopping Center in Kaimuki / Kapahulu was not bad. Not bad at all, although the shop was pretty small for what it does. They have a limited assorted menu, but it's basically coffee and tea drinks at your pleasure. I don't think they do anything else other than just straight coffee or tea drinks. Maybe a mixture of things, but unlike Starbucks, I didn't see anything like a Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf's version of a frappuchino - although I'd be ordering that instead of a simple black tea drink. That's probably what sets Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf and Starbucks apart. They do have assorted pastries and other baked goods to sell, but other than that, Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf can be a good alternate spot to get your coffee and tea needs that's not Starbucks. I felt like the ambiance here was just okay and didn't feel like it had an air conditioning that was presumed on while I was there. The store itself was clean and quite organized. I could see myself coming back here if I was shopping at Market City shopping center and needing some refreshment. I'm not one to compare Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf to Starbucks, but it's practically night and day. I'd recommend coming here, if you want an alternative to Starbucks. They probably have different coffee strains than Starbucks does, which is probably a good reason to come here. This Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf store is located at the Market City shopping Center. It's address is 2919 Kapiolani Blvd, which is basically next to the H-1 overpass in Kaimuki and where Waialae Avenue meets Kapiolani Blvd. They accept major credit cards, as well as cash. In this COVID-19 pandemic, face masks are required to be worn inside the store and social distancing is required as well. For the most part though, the experience here at this Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf was nice, short, and sweet. While I can't say much about the perceived value with the size of the drink cups they use, all I do know is that you can get good service and a good cup of tea, when you want it. It's just different than what Starbucks delivers. Different in a good way. As far as parking goes, there's plenty of parking on the top side of Market City shopping center, fronting the H-1 overpass on Kapiolani Blvd, but there's a back side area parking fronting Kaimuki High School. Just plan your outing here so you can get a good spot before the rush comes. If you are like me, bus routes 1, 9, 13, and 14 come thru the area. While Starbucks may be the king of coffee, you can find good quality stuff here at the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf, you might find the hidden gem that's been eluding you for a while. 3.5 stars for the overall experience. 3.5 stars for the drink and 4.0 for the service, but 3.0 stars for the prices. Support local! C read more

Haven't gone to this place for over a year even though I had Costco gift cards for them. The cards were a pain _____ cause I had to punch in the obtuse code number on the back everytime I used them. At the time whoever was serving just said they mess up sometimes, next! But today we went to Donut King and they were closed. So popped into CBTL with cards in tow. A new card worked but the old one still messed up. Then some nice person serving told they could combine them all on to one actual CBTL card and avoid the #punching. Mahalo! Sorry forgot to notice her name. I can go there again! Usually in a rush to get to Ala Wai for golf so don't have time to mess with faulty cards. read more

Great service, coffee & food items. Though it's small, the area to sit is quite well arranged. One does not have a cramped feeling.

Have had a couple of favorable interactions since my last review. The current workers seem to care a little more about wait times, and I appreciate this very much.

It's been a minute since I've stopped by. I may be biased but i can't resist the caramel latte w/ an extra scoop of hazelnut powder, hot or cold. It don't matter, both are magical. It just hits the spot. Hubby's fave is the Malibu Dream which has blueberry but also has peanut butter. Keiki #1 also Licea the caramel latte w/ hazelnut. I also love love love the blueberry cream cheese scone. And yes get it heated if eating right away. If not eating right away just take it cold and be sure to heat it before eating, for sure. It's definitely worth a try. Another one of my faves is the avocado toast. They have peas shoots on them. It's hard to find these particular pea shoots in the store, so it's a treat. The Harding location in Market City shopping center has been my go to for the past five years. My other fave location is Kapolei then last but not least is the Pearl City location. They're pretty consistent. Market City has lots of free parking. They're open today and most holidays. read more

Service is terrible at this location. One girl had a lot of attitude when serving me. I ordered just a hot latte with 2 extra shots, watched her make it while SHE WAS TOUCHING HER HAIR, and when I got my latte it was not even lukewarm. I told her I wanted it more hot then she just grabbed my drink and threw it in the sink. She then mumbled under her breath about "b#tchy customers", which I think is unacceptable and unprofessional behavior. I think Nixie was her name. Never coming to this store again. read more

I really like this Coffee Bean!!! First, it's pretty convenient...attached to Market City Foodland and ample parking in the Market City lot. Second, with the specials that run weekly and monthly, it is a great way to try their different drinks!!! This is the first place that I saw oat milk offered and was intrigued. The barista was patient enough to answer my questions and even gave me a small sample to try while I was waiting for my drinks. Most of the workers here are super efficient, consistent and friendly!!! Since I visit this location quite frequently I know how my drink will taste just by who is making them that day. I was SO hooked on the cookies and cream blended drinks - hold the whipped cream - for a bit and it's all because of the cashier here one day overheard me and my boyfriend talking about ice cream and suggested I try their drink. SO YUMMY!!! Of course, my favorite drinks from Coffee Bean still are a plain iced latte, mango cold brew tea or an English Breakfast tea hot or cold. There are clearly marked areas for you to wait either in line or for your drink. I've been in the store multiple times when people would walk in with their mask not fully on their face and before they can take 2 steps in a worker will remind them to please put their mask on correctly. This constant observation to safety makes me feel even more at ease getting my coffee here. read more

Located in market city shopping center right inside of foodland. Parking is plentiful but it also depends what time of day you come too! If you're coming early in the morning then you're good to go! Other than that avoid peak hours in the afternoon and evenings ... let's just say from 12-7 cause it's just plain chaotic there in the parking lot! or just park really far and hike on over. The coffee here isn't as strong as Starbucks. I normally just come for the iced teas. My favorite is the plantation ice tea. There isn't too much of a line and If there is then it's not even that long of a wait. They're usually really apologetic if you even wait over a minute. Do you have social media? On Mondays they have a promotion if you show their ad on your phone! I've gotten 1.99 plantation ice teas, Li hing lemonades, and some other random flavors like blood orange tea. It's a good time to try something new when they have them. I particularly like their stamp cards. They have a expiration date but they never check it. And it's better than the Starbucks program. read more

I drove here from Kahala coz the one in Kahala closes early. I arrive at 8:52. They looked closed already but there's still workers inside. I enter through foodland and asked them if they're closed and they said yes. I asked what time they close. They both said 9pm but that they closed 10min early. Yeah okay. Hope management or the higher ups sees this coz this is such terrible business practice. I HATE when I drive and waste time and gas because a business decides to close early.

The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf at Foodland at the Market City Shopping Center is a very good location. The staff are friendly and helpful. They're very efficient on making their drinks. The wait can be a little long due to sometimes not enough staffing if they have a lot of orders to do. But they're always apologetic when the customer has to wait for so long. I highly recommend this location if you're ever in the neighborhood. They never messed up my orders, and are always very friendly too. read more

This CBTL is my favorite location. Friendly, quick baristas are awesome! They have steel cut oatmeal with our choice of toppings including: walnuts, bananas, honey, brown sugar & raisins & I usually get all of the toppings & add a sprinkle of cinnamon & splash of cream. My favorite hot beverage is the hot English breakfast latte. I think their secret ingredient is their vanilla powder which adds flavor & some sweetness. Lots of baked goods & sandwiches available too. As others have mentioned, parking at Market City can sometimes be very challenging (due to lack of available spots & inconsiderate drivers). Lastly, don't forget to get a stamp card, where you get a free beverage with maximum size of a large cup, when the card is full (after 50 stamps). You receive 1 stamp per $1. read more
