Spacious branch, the comfort room is pleasant.
Just like other branches of CBTL, the prices of their drinks, other beverages, and food are the same.
Good place to tambay but heavy for the wallet if you are in a group of 8. The cakes are good; the best one we love the most is the triple decker cheesecake. The chocolate cakes are too sweet on our part. We got the white chocolate coconut series drink which is so-so.

3 i.e. satisfactory naman because 1) the place is spacious, 2) this branch has a comfort room inside the store, 3) it was Double Stamp promo day earlier for the planner and will run until Feb 3 and 4) the other drinks we ordered were good (these drinks are the usual suspects).
Not a 4 nor a perfect score of 5, why? Because 1) the cashiers (or baristas) - the one who got my orders/payment and another one who stamped my card for the 5 drinks were not friendly/ not smiling as compared to other branches like Power Plant Mall, 2) although the CR did not seem dirty, everything was working and stocked with toilet paperbeven BUT it really smelled dirty (even my friend noticed it too), 3) the new Guava drink I ordered tasted like cough syrup (in my opinion #ToEachHisOwn) and to think I enjoy Guava fruit drinks like the bottled one from Seattle’s Best, so I guess I will just stick to my usual CBTL drinks.
Will we be back? Yes because when in Vertis North, it’s one of the chill coffee places to go to, because it’s spacious, after having dinner in the area.
What I Had:
Baked Fusili + Pink Guava Juice
What I Love:
Always, always, with CBTL is the staff — friendly, accommodating, attentive, and responsive to requests. I came in looking for a good spot, and the staff immediately approached me and help me get seated (there’s quite a crowd).
I’ll probably have anything with my favorite pink guava juice here but i’d say the baked fusili is okay. Enough meat in it, only downside is that the pasta and the cheese on top can get a bit chewy when it’s get cold.
I love The coffee bean and tea leaf Ayala VERTIS NORTH. The ambiance was so good very peaceful and relaxing especially when they played relaxing music. You know I feel so relaxed and peaceful, I will Visit again the CBTL VERTIS NORTH Branch. 😊❤️
Starbucks in Vertis North is small and very crowded so we went to CBTL because it's so much more roomier and there were less people in. The staff were very upbeat and friendly from the moment we entered.
We had cafe latte, iced blended pure vanilla and pure double chocolate. They all tasted great (however, I think the ice blended drinks are a bit small for the price). As for the cakes (we had a cheesecake and chocolate fudge), they tasted alright and the price is great for the size/taste.
Ayala’s Vertis North joined a cluster of growing malls in North of Edsa late last year. Currently, they are still finishing up the roster of retail and food establishments.
On Vertis’ ground floor is Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf. I chanced upon a visit here one morning and settled for their breakfast of Corned Beef and Eggs. Although I could’ve prepared that at home, it’s not the same without their signature cup of strong Amerikano. On top of that, the ambiance here is both inviting and relaxing.
My all time favorite tea latte is Chai. Some might find it mild but I just love the taste. Just order it hot during rainy days and iced during a warm afternoon.
Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf is always my favorite. Among branded coffee shops it stands out in terms of location and architecture. Its array of food includes pasta, bread, cakes and sandwiches. One will always enjoy its coffee and tea as these are always perfect to one's taste! Good and pleasant customer service is what you will expect wherever branch you will go!
It is one of the best place where you will also enjoy some peace and quiet to entertain clients and meet up with friends.
The CBTL branch at Vertis North is new and definitely one branch you should spend your afternoon soon. Try their Mexican Chocolate ice blend! It is perfect to one's taste if you are looking for an ice cold blend that is not too sweet.

Ayala Malls Vertis North opened last June 9th, and while I'm looking forward to the usual BGC and Ayala foodie haunts about to open in the coming months, my return to QC gave me a bit of fresh perspective with this nicely constructed lifestyle mall. Trinoma, after all, is almost 10 years old and is a bit in need of a touch up or two.
Enter Vertis North.
Coffee Bean is one of the few open places there, and it's a pretty nice one. Utilizing their latest design which employs more industrial elements (gray, steel, cement) than the ones before (using more wood and pastel colors), it's generally good, except for the "yero" ceiling centerpiece...which is like, Uhhhhhhh. Weird.
I ordered their Oatmeal Raisin Cookie (I'm a nut for most anything oatmeal cookie based but I do have high standards for such), which was pretty good, but could use more moistness even after a 2nd round of heating. (side note, that relatively new Starbucks one with white chocolate and cranberry seems to slightly outshine this one). Otherwise, it's a great oatmeal raisin cookie. 4/5
I also ordered my usual Peppermint Ginseng Tea, an awesome concoction and one I never tire of. Gujab, CBTL. 5/5

___________
> Worth a try - Yes but this applies to most CBTL's
> Worth a return - Absolutely!
> TIPS: Vertis North still has free parking as of present (Update, P30 flat rate parking). 3 awesome theaters with no queue, at least not like Trinoma's. Not much in stores yet, but CBTL and a movie sounds good enough to me. No Wi-Fi yet, though, for Swirl Card holders.
> VERDICT: a good find in this newly opened mall.
