Editor’s Note

Last updated 30 May 2026

Our take: The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf is a well-known coffeehouse chain, offering a range of beverages including their signature ice-blended drinks.

While the renovated outlets can provide a suitable atmosphere for working, the service quality appears to be a significant concern across multiple locations, particularly at the Lot 1 branch.

We've noted consistent feedback regarding rude staff, lack of basic courtesy, and instances of staff hanging up on customers.

This suggests a potential issue with customer service training or staff morale that impacts the overall experience.

Food-wise, the breakfast promotions are highlighted as good value, though there's a suggestion that items like croissants could be improved by being served warm.

The latte, however, has been described as bland and poorly proportioned.

We'd recommend managing expectations regarding service and potentially sticking to their signature ice-blended options rather than coffee.

Best for a quick, no-frills grab-and-go if you're in the area and specifically craving their blended drinks, but not for a leisurely or service-dependent experience.

What customers say

Customers frequently report inconsistent and often poor service, particularly at the Lot 1 outlet, citing rude staff, lack of courtesy, and unhelpful attitudes.

While some find the renovated atmosphere suitable for work and appreciate value promotions like the breakfast deal, beverage quality, specifically the latte, is criticised as bland.

Food items like the tomato pesto pasta are noted for being dry, and croissants are served cold.

Tried the breakfast promo. Quite good value. Warm reception. Just a feedback to kitchen. The croissant will taste x5 better if toasted warm before serving. It was cold at 8am.

★★★★★Huai Yang Lim· 3 months ago

One of the worst latte I've ever drank. Bland, flat, wrong proportions. And I've tried a lot across various cafes and do my own coffee at home.
