Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf - Mezza Residences — Restaurant in Quezon City

While they have better coffee than their nearby competitor, this has to be one of the worst coffee bean branches I've been to.

Coffee bean large sizes are already laughably small compared to the venti sizes offered elsewhere, so this isn't limited to this branch. Ml per ml they're also pricier. This branch has no wifi for swirl card members. This branch is really taking cost cutting to the extreme. Unbranded cups, unbranded tissues, using boba straws because they ran out of regular straws. This branch runs 1 AC out of 4 because the others are non functional, which makes it hot af.

Terrible staff and service. No one was behind the counter to take orders. The cashier was too busy horsing around and goofing off around the cafe even though he saw that I was waiting to order at the counter. He was so busy chatting with someone and laughing out loud to do his job. He really took his time before coming back to the counter, like he was delaying working or something. He was even texting and was still chatting when he finally asked for my order. He had a really bad attitude about it too because I let him know that i've been waiting at the counter for a while. And he was so distracted it took him 3 tries to get a single hot americano order right. Yeah, I'm not gonna waste money here again....

Classy. Accessible. Clean. Friendly staff. This is our favourite cafe because their drinks are neither very bitter nor very sweet, in comparison to other famous cafes. The foods offered are pasta, cakes, and other kinds of confections. The ambience is also very relaxing and cozy. The cafe is reachable by private cars, jeepneys, and train (LRT 2). The cafe is near Mezza 1 and 2 residences. SM Sta. Mesa is also walkable from this establishment. Several schools are also found around the vicinity. So after shopping at SM or buying groceries at Savemore, you can grab a bite and buy a drink...
