The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf — Restaurant in Palm Desert

From only my second visit here, 4 separate baristas remembered my slightly-complicated drink order (Iced Macha Latte with strawberry puree and double boba). I must say, the manager, Diana, is exceptional. She's always so friendly, welcoming, patient, sincere, and so professional. I love seeing her when I visit. Even if she doesn't take my order, she always makes sure to say hi and asks how I'm doing. Jason is also top-notch and so funny. I feel bad that I can't recall the names of the other baristas I see frequently, but they're awesome, too.

I much prefer their drinks and food over sbx. My favorite is the Caprese Sandwich. It's so cheesy and delicious. I also love the overnight oats! I get them every time I visit (which is almost every day).

My favorite drink is their matcha latte. It is far superior to any other matcha I've tried. Get it with a little strawberry puree mixed in. You'll thank me later. Let's not forget that they have real boba that they make in-house. I literally recommend adding it to every drink. I even love it in my matcha latte!

For anyone on the fence, ditch sbx and make this your preferred coffee shop. You get a far more personalized experience and far better quality and taste. Even their teas are better. And of course, their espresso.

You can mobile order, just like most places and they're quite fast. You also earn points in the app for each purchase, which you can accrue to use for free drinks, food, and merchandise. I recommend getting a digital CoffeeBean gift card in the app to pay so you earn points faster. If you go almost daily, that'll get you a free drink every week (I order a drink and food item each time).

If you're used to sbx, yes, they have the equivalent of frapps and just about everything. They just call them blended drinks. I'm personally not a fan of blended drinks, but my friends who have tried them here say they're very good.

I love this place, and for all the reasons I mentioned above, I keep coming back every day! I know you'll...

I waited 25 minutes for a mobile pick order that the app said would be ready in 8 minutes. Got to the store 10 minutes after my order, waited patiently for another 5 minutes then asked the manager if she had my mobile order. She said she was busy and would have it shortly. Nobody was in line at register when I came in to pickup. I watched numerous people walk up and order their drink and then pick it up while I waited for my order. At 20 minutes after my mobile order I reminded the manager again that I was still waiting for a mobile order. I asked if they prioritized order based on date accepted and she said 5 mins for walk up and 8 mins for mobile. Clearly they prioritized walk up as more people who ordered while I was there received their orders. I then told the manager I had been waiting 25 minutes and the barista said he had an order that was at 23 minutes old. Thanks, I said “really helpful”. Suggest you walk in so you can get a drink before the...
