The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf

This branch is located at the Corte Area on the ground floor. It has easy access to the entrance and the elevator. It also has a lovely view of the mall’s garden area. When you enter, the coffee shop features a bright, well-ventilated and spacious area coffee-lovers will love.

The ladies in charge today were so warm and nice. They explain the items and merchandise so well, and their vegetarian pizza was also very good.

While waiting for a few friends. I opted to stay here at Coffee bean. I ordered their cold brew and added some milk to it. It was really strong and enough to keep me up the whole day when I usually take 2-3 cups of coffee.

Before attending the a Christmas party last night, I brought some Christmas gifts to my friend and had a small dinner treat earlier in the day.

By the time I got to Ayala Malls the 30th at about 5 p.m., I was feeling so sleepy (I had zero sleep except napping it away inside the van). My head was feeling light, and my eyelids were heavy and I was trying to fight these somnabulistic demons out of me. 😴

I could not help this anymore so I went to Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf. Puro SB kasi, maiba naman. 😁

I asked them about the strongest coffee they could offer. I could not remember what she said because I was too much into internally fighting this nagging sleepiness. But I heard her mentioning "double espresso." I guess it was a regular coffee with a double espresso shot. Good idea. I also ordered an empanada.

I was like a fish out of the water at the time. I almost forgot to hand her my payment. 😁

Good thing there was a comfy leather chair. The best thing? It was unoccupied! 😁

I immediately leaned my back as I sat there and ahhhhhhhh how snug this chair was.. I found myself closing my eyes before I even took a sip of my coffee. 😁 sarap matulog. 😴

But then there was the party happening in a few hours and I needed some jolt of energy. If I were a Sim, my plumbob would have been teetering on dark orange and my energy meter would be low.

So I gulped my coffee because it was beginning to lose its warmth. The empanada (chicken I think) was good.

But the comfy leather seat was the best thing there. 😁

Early morning, the busiest week of our work week. I was in CBTL at 9:00AM. The store is open, cleaned and smells calming because of the Coffee.

I went for my usual breakfast favorites in CBTL

Eggs Benedict: salad is fresh, the dressing is light, I like the toast its warm and crispy. The toasty bread is perfect with the butter and strawberry jam. ❤️❤️❤️

Guiltless Chocolate Delight: I like the smoothness and the density of the cake. The chocolate shaves does add structure and design on the cake. The cake itself is so good. Perfect after my moening bens. 😍

Jasmine Tea: my-go-to tea for silence and solitude moments. ☺️

The staff is amazing, I forgot her name but definitely remember her face. Will come back to this branch for sure. ☺️

Spacious branch, just a few table outside available. Needed a boost of caffeine so I ordered Iced Cafe Latte (Php140).
Wish there had another counter for seniors, the group (8 people) before me had a lot of orders and they took time with the discount and everything. I have nothing against the it's just the line piled up because of it.

CBTL will always be my first option in choosing a coffee shop to go to.
This branch is spacious and has a relaxed vibe where you can disconnect from the busyness of the outside world...unfortunately, the al fresco dining does not allow smoking due to Pasig ordinance. Other establishments near here allows their customers to smoke tho...sad as I love having my coffee "outside".
