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.

Ordered 2 small Flat Whites. The flavour was pretty good once it had cooled down, but unfortunately, the milk was scalded hot. Pretty expensive at AUD$18 for two – ouch!

Your experience may vary when you dine in at this outlet. Sometimes you get nice staff and food, and sometimes you get staff like Harris, who just slides your drinks across the counter without a word. I would rather deal with a self-service machine than the staff here, to be honest.

The new staff member, Zi Wei, deserves to be fired. They clearly do not deserve the BM position with no professionalism whatsoever. GrabFood orders were not even packed in proper packaging and were handled by the new staff at this CBTL branch.

The table was not clean, and the cushion seat had a dirty stain. Food was acceptable. Service could be improved. A bright, sunny smile would surely bring customers back. I hope your manager can inspire the staff with great vibes.

The new staff member, Zi Wei, deserves to be fired. He clearly does not deserve the Brand Manager position with no professionalism whatsoever. The GrabFood orders placed were not even packed properly, and the new BM at this CBTL branch denied my wife, who was pregnant at the time, the shuttle when she politely requested it. He rudely told her to go to the hotel, which was 1.4km away, even after she placed two orders for drinks. We had to get our helper to drive her home. Please hire more adequate staff who are not heartless to patrons who are paying customers. This is especially disappointing after supporting the brand, which clearly does not employ staff who deserve to work as 'Brand Manager' with such terrible service etiquette. Our complaint will be highlighted to higher authorities for failure to provide services to paying customers.

24-hour coffee on Orchard Road – 5 points for that alone! Everything else is also great. I ordered the tuna spaghetti and an ice-blended mocha. Both were delicious. The staff is also great and keeps informing us about new offers. They have a new breakfast set, which usually includes eggs, bread, and a specific type of coffee. I've added a picture of the set for reference. It's $8 for one set and $12 for two. Well worth the money.

Pretty standard Eggs Benedict, nothing too special. Lots of seating available. It's nice sitting outside in the morning.

Visited this CBTL outlet on a weekend night. Ordered the cookie crumble with the Chicago cheesecake, and CBTL never disappoints. The ambience is lovely, though it can get a bit crowded on weekends.

Ordered this 2-set meal. They were accommodating when I requested to have one meal served later. I really liked that they have a non-dairy option for coffee. The ambience of the place is nice as well.

The ambience is nice, bright and sunny. They have some swing chairs which, while novel, aren't really that practical (or safe?). The staff seem a little stressed and hurried, but I guess you can't blame them due to the weekend crowd. The Eggs "Ben" is something else; it's really just hard poached eggs surrounded with béarnaise sauce mixed with something else. It tasted fine, just that calling it an "eggs ben" gives one a different set of expectations.
