First time here. Not familiar with menu so wasn't sure how to order a shaken espresso. We got there though and the scone was delicious!!!
First of all, great coffee. There are so many flavors and menu items to choose from! I have a severe nut allergy and the barista on duty to great care of me by cleaning all the equipment and washing her hands before making my drink. Great place!
Arrive early/get dropped off. Parking is a little on the wild side.
Had a cup of hot Mocha latte with my dogs outside and just did some people watching and the ambience in the complex.
Manoa Marketplace is Charming and away from crowds and so the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf up there is small but has some nice outdoor seating. You don't feel like you're being surrounded by tons of people. I find the coffee that they make to be excellent, far superior to anything Starbucks can do. Besides there's a Safeway right next door so it's terrific you can do your grocery shopping and have a coffee or have a coffee BEFORE your grocery shopping. However when the students are at UH be aware that there may be a lot more crowding at the coffee shop than otherwise.
If you ask for glass coffee mug, they have ONE! Liked the bacon Swiss croissant, and small Americano. Satisfactory for the small size lunch I was looking for while repairing Htelom phone lines on Manoa rain.
One of the best coffee shops on Oahu. You really get a sense of the old-school here. It's hard to explain, but it's just a much different vibe than the dark nemesis across the street, with their over-roasted charcoal flavored beans. If one closes their eyes, they can image they are in SFO or Seattle...
I find that this location is phenomenal. I love that all of the baristas are so friendly and kind and that they are rarely understaffed making the experience quick and easy. The coffee is delightful and flavourful and there are many options to choose from. I would 10/10 recommend this Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf location. ☕️
Just stopped in to grab a quick coffee. Unfortunately, they were running low on half-and-half, so I ordered my coffee with milk in place of half-and-half. I just wanted the cold milk to cool down my coffee a little. The guy ended up steaming the milk for me (which isn't what I wanted, but bless him for trying). I appreciate the thought, though.
Haven't been here for awhile but I still enjoy their blended drinks, sandwiches, and wraps. Too bad they no longer offer the blueberry blended drink. It's one of my favorites.
Not as popular as the better known mermaid shop but a good place to purchase small bites and caffinated drinks. The lines here are usually shorter and never too busy so thats a plus.
