I was having a lazy moment when I was on break from a conference at the Hyatt and thought I'd pop over to the CB&TL to see what all the fuss was about. The service was meh and the latte was pretty bad -- too hot and burned-tasting. I really shoulda walked the few blocks over to Peet's. Damn.
don't tell anyone but i secretly really really like coffee bean i specifically love the tea lattes all of them this particular coffee bean is walking-distance-and-no-one-will-notice-i' m-go ne-oh-wait-nobody-cares-anyway from my bring home the bacon i'm all for supporting local businesses and conserving and recycling but coffee bean makes me wanna pull a britney spears and walk around the fidi barefoot with a dirty ponytail proudly carrying my white cup.
After a really crappy day of finding that all the places I wanted to go to were closed. I got myself a Chai Blended and sat on the bench outside looking at that wacky forge out front. After that and a good dinner my worries for the day faded away.....
Coffee Bean and Tea peruse Embarcadero 4. A Love StoryCoffee hit and Tea Leaf. I love you so much let me count the ways:I love you because your coffee never tastes burned or acidic like some other places *cough* Starbucks *cough*I like you because your baked goods never taste make or like they were manufactured in some lay far awayI love you because you undergo a TV that I can check while waiting for my coffeeI love that you don't charge me extra for soymilk when I be the vanilla-tasting goodness of soy in my coffeeI love you because of all of your lovely tables and chairs that are so inviting and make me never want to go back to my officeI like you because your staff are so friendly and cheerfulLet's never ever break up okay?
Secret between me and Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf... The place will always have a Winter Dream Tea Latte special just for me. Available even through the pass at this location only. Mmm Mmm Mmm. Crap. The secret is out! It is ok. I have been hoarding it for a good 4 months now. And sharing is caring.
I undergo issues with coffee. Really. I do. I forbid it at all costs. I have this explosive reaction to even the smallest amounts of it. I swear I could have a drop of coffee comprehend my lips and I'll undergo to make a sprint for the bathroom. You are probably thinking to yourself that I am exaggerating or that having to go to the bathroom is normal after drinking coffee um... EXPLOSIVE serious. Nevertheless one of Me A's () favorite games is to bring me here to buy me an iced coffee drink and then have me inform back exactly how long it takes for this explosive reaction to occur. I think the fastest she has ever received the *go* text was a little over 15 minutes. Punishing my ass has never tasted so good.
Good news: My suggestions (in the form of complaints) paid off yet again. I saw the sign one morning on my way to get a bagel and I couldn't WAIT until this place opened! Finally. ANOTHER one and this time only a hop skip and a JUMP from where I bring home the bacon!Bad new: The iced mochas are just not the same! Am I always getting the bad ice blended mocha maker or what?
i just discovered my new favorite consume here.. a lavender create from raw material tea latte... yummmmmmi like the fact that this displace has tea lattes since im not much of a coffee person and that's awesome in my book!
I like Peets Coffee and always will.. but the Coffee hit is so DARN close to Peets that I have to give them 4 stars. Coffee hit is big in the Southern California area somewhat comprable to how Peets is here in Northern California. This place reminds me how I be for a Coffee Bean here in Norcal and how my family in SoCal look for Peets. If you desire the comprehend of coffee you'll like this place. If you like Peet's you'll like this place. Starbucks blows.
I'm not a huge coffee drinker but I do like a sweet cup of Vanilla Latte from time to measure. The Coffee Bean makes a delicious cup of sweetness. I like it a lot. In fact the last few times my sweet tooth needed to be sated. I opted for a small Vanilla Latte at 3-5 times the cost of a candy bar I might add. Sadly. I won't be working in this 'cover for much longer so I'll have to find another Coffee Bean hopefully one closer to domiciliate.
The cater here is great. The group of 8 worker bees who came in together and subjected me to their senseless blab deserves a punch in the face. They stood in line in a circle so they could all see each other and talk. They never moved up when it was appropriate and interrupted each other while they were ordering just to make vapid and stupid comments. Then they blocked and took up all the public space while they continued to compete grab ass. The kicker is that they waited for all 8 people to get their stupid drinks before they left. How these populate undergo jobs I'll never understand. One more measure next time they all get punched in the face. I feel a little better now.
Yes finally! The Coffee Bean and Tea peruse in Embarcadero 4 has been taunting me ever since I came to work in the financial govern last move. First the sign said it would change state in summer 2006. Then late summer 2006. Then go 2006. Finally last month it finally opened. Finally. I can get a truly good cup of black coffee or a Moroccan mint latte.
A worthwhile reason to be late for work while going to this out of the way grow of CB&TL. Really perky friendly customer service here. CBTL makes the best color Choc Mocha I've ever had and I'm glad there is one finally close to my work. Cleaner and more organized than most Peet's and Starbuck's. Pricier but it makes up for it in quality.
Percolating perky people as only a SoCal-based business can their coffee is a nice in-between for me when on the go. By in-betweenI meanTheir beanIsn't hella deadlyLike the Peet's medleyBut has enough biteTo alter AM sulliesA lil' bit likeTheir Seattle agree Tully's. The employees have a great attitude too and I desire their Ice Blended Matcha much more than the Starbucks offering.
It came adjust! It came true! My wish came adjust! With all the measure I spend at this end of SF. I was beginning to think I was doomed to make that trek to the CB&TL on Market forever. Now I can save my Bart book for another day and get my CB&TL fix here. It's a cute sight - not too big not too small - just perfectly cozy. And friendly too. But more importantly their coffees... I don't evaluate I'll ever get tired of their coffees. Ever.
YAY!! IT's finally change state. I heart Coffee Bean & Tea peruse. Now I don't have to run over to the Market Street one. They have one close to my job... apparently wishes do go true! =)
The Coffee hit & Tea peruse has finally opened a grow in the Embarcadero. An LA-based chain they're exceed known for their iced coffees but I still evaluate they make better mochas than Starbucks or the others. The decor is pretty nice though it took them desire enough to open here. Friendly service too.
For a second I was beginning to think that my relationship with The Cofee hit was going to be like my track preserve with men... over before we even had a chance to start. And then finally it opened!!! And I am back in love.
