The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf has been a cornerstone of Singapore's premium coffee culture since 1996, establishing itself as a sophisticated yet accessible destination for coffee and tea enthusiasts. With over 70 locations across the country and complete MUIS halal certification at all outlets, this Los Angeles-born chain has successfully adapted to Singapore's diverse dining landscape while maintaining its commitment to quality and inclusivity. The brand's dedication to serving both Singapore and Malaysia with halal-certified beverages and food demonstrates their understanding of the region's cultural and religious diversity, making premium coffee experiences accessible to all communities.
The extensive beverage menu showcases the brand's expertise in both coffee and tea craftsmanship, featuring their signature Ice Blended® drinks like the Ultimate Mocha and Salted Caramel varieties starting from $9.80, alongside carefully curated latte options including Vanilla Latte and Matcha Green Tea Latte from $8.90. Their tea selection spans seven distinct categories—Green, Black, Oolong, Herbal Infusion, Decaffeinated, Flavored, and Tea Master's—ensuring there's a perfect brew for every preference. Beyond beverages, their halal-certified food menu includes breakfast items, salads, sandwiches, cakes, and pastries, creating a comprehensive café experience that serves customers throughout the day.
The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf's success in Singapore stems from their ability to provide a premium coffee house experience in a Muslim-friendly environment, filling a crucial niche in the local F&B market. Their strategic positioning in prime locations across shopping centers, business districts, and residential areas makes quality coffee and tea accessible to professionals, students, and families alike. The brand's consistency in maintaining halal standards while delivering international coffee shop quality has earned them a loyal customer base, positioning them as a trusted choice for both casual coffee meetings and special celebrations in Singapore's competitive café landscape.

I was planning to find somewhere to sit down and work for a while, so I chose this place. I noticed most people were also using laptops. However, after I ordered and opened my laptop, I was suddenly told it wasn't allowed and others were warned too. I seriously think they should advise customers when purchasing, as the Starbucks downstairs allows laptops, which makes consumers confused. The packaging for the drinks was also bad.

What makes it worse
The ice vanilla latte tasted horrible at this outlet! Compared to other outlets... What made it worse was that I felt I was working here. I was clearing the tray with some coffee mugs and plates left by a previous diner. When I returned the tray, I was met by a staff member with a poor attitude who rudely commanded me to put the tray at the other corner, instead of just taking it back. I don't understand, what's so difficult about accepting a returned tray? Especially since there were no customers ordering at that time. Unbelievable, I could not believe what I heard. I shall not patronize this outlet again...

I bought a large Hazelnut Latte to drink in, instead of take away. However, I was served in a takeaway cup and told that large lattes are only served in takeaway cups. I was surprised that an established company like Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf does not have a proper cup to serve their customers for a large latte. If that is the case, then the decent thing to do would be to ask the customer's preference first.

It's absolutely unhealthy to consume this chain's offerings. I tried it for the first time with my normally extremely sugar-friendly kids. But even they mentioned that the cookies and muffins are just overdosed. The pricing is obscene, even for Singaporean conditions. I realized too late that this brand comes from the US and therefore has US taste preferences.

Delicious coffee and good tea as well, especially the jasmine green tea. Comfy table seatings, but a bit tiny. Staff were helpful and friendly, and the cafe is halal certified. Also a nice selection of cakes and biscuits etc. to accompany drinks. Also nice ice-blended cold drinks with fruity flavours. A bit pricey as usual, but good for a rest stop!

Did a takeaway of the Turkey n Swiss Croissant and Vanilla Latte Set. It was very early at 8:30 am, but the two girls were very efficient and packed it so nicely for me! Mutiara and team, thank you for my yummy, great breakfast! Have a great day!
