The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf — Restaurant in Menifee

BEST COFFEEHOUSE! My family and I always stop here for a delicious coffee, tea or treat. The staff is always friendly and kind both at the drive thru and in-store. I’ve never had a conceded or rude worker interact with me once at this place and it’s so refreshing after dealing with Starbucks employees. The drive thru is kind of tricky so make sure you keep an eye out for it behind the Cafe Rio Mexican Restaurant. The ice blended drinks are some of the best drinks I’ve ever had and I highly recommend trying their seasonal offerings. I’m a massive fan of the winter dream tea latte and the cookie butter ice blended drink during December. On a regular day I would say you can’t go wrong with any of their drinks. Oh and I’m also in love with their spinach and egg breakfast sandwich, it’s a dreamy little pillow of goodness! If you’re a college student that’s looking for a calm place to relax or work, this...

I originally went here simply because it was easier access and less parking lot acrobatics compared to their competitor. Now I go here because I truly like the coffee, the service, and the awesome convenience of a drive thru. Keep in mind their drive thru is not where expected; Turn left at the first traffic light and the entrance is that first right, and right again.

That alone will keep me as customer- all rare qualities that shouldn't be so. Inside they are well stocked in snacks, paninis you can have toasted, bagels, fruit, all the usual stuff. Plus ample seating inside and out. Another plus, you can build "points" without having to buy into or reload a gift card, unlike their competitor, just...

No Barista on duty. Stopped by around 9 PM. Ordered 3 coffees to go, one Irish Cream Large, an explosion of sugar. Had to add more instant coffee and remake at home. Vanilla Latte, another obsessive amount of sweet, no coffee taste, truly mediocre. Last a cold coffee, which according to the drinker tasted more chocolate and sugar. How difficult is to prepare a memorable coffee for the better? Does the owner know how fast he might be loosing clientele? Place looked really nice, inviting, that part tops. The curiosity of the new place dissipated and was replaced by disappointment. The coffee business is booming. I wish them the best, but if the coffee we got is the norm, and not an off night, then crossing fingers might come in handy. With such expensive equipment, and being a new location, a much better product is possible with the much needed...
