The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf — Restaurant in Manila

Coffee Bean is a great place to study at! The branches I go to the most are the ones at Robinsons Magnolia and Laperal Youniversity Suites. The baristas are always smiling and they're super friendly and helpful. The customers are not as noisy compared to other coffee shops because most of them go there to review. The branches I mentioned have wifi, but the one at Laperal is under repair as of July I believe. They play music a little too loud sometimes so just bring earphones if that bothers you. Air conditioning is good. It gets really cold so bring a jacket. The branches I mentioned don't accommodate a lot of customers, probably less than 50 in both branches, but the one at Robinsons Magnolia has additional seats outside (not air-conditioned).

I love their beverages! I recommend the Matcha Raspberry Ice Blended and the Moroccan Mint Tea Latte. They also have pasta, the Tomato and Herb one is really good. Their cheesecakes are alright. They're not bad but I've definitely had better. For a sweet treat, try the Turtle Pie. It's best paired with hot tea.

From a student point of view, I give The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf 5...

If you plan on staying until midnight, don't dress lightly because it is really cold. Lots of students are also studying here so noise is always to a minimum. There are also many nearby food stalls/kiosks. I've only tried one coffee and one cake, but I'm still ordering...

Ive never had trouble and all my orders are always the perfectly served. People, service, food, and ambiance are just chefs kiss 🤌🏻🤌🏻. I highly recommend the staffs and the whole branch. Given that this is at Recto, I never felt...
