The Coffee Bean And Tea Leaf Cafe

It's been hours on end working on my script that I thought of taking a break. Decided on the Regis Center for two reasons: near my house and I haven't been to this branch. The first things that impressed me about this branch were the interior, the lighting (especially! and the cleanliness (even the comfort area was passably clean . Second thing was the baristas who were oh-so polite and pleasant. And lastly, I enjoyed their preparation of my favorite, Blended Double Chocolate. A perfect midnight drink

What I Love: Attentive, warm, friendly staff, as with most CBTL branches! : Food, coffee, and juices are good and affordable. (Pink guava juice still the best Best spot to study/work/ or simply chill!

It's no surprise that The Coffee Bean Tea Leaf came up with yet another product innovation. The latest beverage experiment is quite unexpected with Matcha green tea since it is not a popular flavor amongst Filipinos. But they found a way, by incorporating it with mainstay mixes. It is also made available in the usual multiple ways- a bold espresso, Ice Blended or via ice. I truly enjoyed sipping my way through the Matcha Raspberry, a blend of bold green tea paired with sweet and tangy raspberry fruity taste. In one go you have both strong flavors fighting it out in your taste buds. I had this drink with their Feta Sardine Pandesal and new product of theirs via Empanada. The latter wasn't as good, it was flaky and lacking in filling. CBTL's got the Matcha Macchiato, Matcha Affogato Ice Blended, and Matcha Raspberry. Which one would you want to try first?

Although being a cafe, the stars they show are their coffee and tea but their food is tasty. My personal favorite is their Tomato and Herb Linguine pasta. You won't notice that it's vegetarian and the cheese they use is good quality. For breakfast, i love their Eggs Ben and Salmon Cream Cheese Bagel. I prefer their teas over their coffee, especially Moroccan Mint Tea and African Sunrise. You can have their tea hot, cold, or latte, depending on your mood.

Went here for around 12midnight. I really like the ambience. The crews are nice and lively even that late. Hoping to visit this café more often.
