I like the crew here, but there's been too much nickel and diming on prices. There was an overall price increase in Jan 2024, fine, but now they're charging an additional dollar for any kind of milk substitution. This isn't just plant milks; even regular nonfat milk is now an extra dollar. This pushes the price of their latte over $6, which doesn't make much sense when Starbucks is a block away.

Very nice Coffee Bean! Ordered a bacon, egg & cheese which was yummy and nicely toasted. Also got a tasty hot chocolate. Only took a couple of minutes for everything to be prepared. Very sweet staff. Cozy interior and unique and quaint exterior. They have a drive thru as well as outdoor seating. Recommend!

Ham Egg and cheese Brioche was slid together and could have been wrapped in paper to hold it together. Looks bad and the ham was out the of Brioche. It’s 4 ingredients and not much to it guys and gals. Service was slow and I tipped at the register based on the attitude and attention to detail.l to start. What a mistake and won’t be back to this location. General Mgr needs to set standards like other stores and check on the cleanliness.

First went to the Bean in Studio City on Ventura boulevard back in the 80s. And look, now they're so big. That was long before anybody knew anything about all these different kinds of espresso drinks. I especially love their Chai latte.

Stopped by this location to pick up an ice tea lemonade. It was convenient going through drive thru. The barista was nice and my drink was good.

I went to this coffee bean and the service was ?. They were nice. The lady who took my order was really nice. I had a coupon and it didn't work but she tried helping me anyways. Which I found so sweet. She didn't have to but she went to the extra mile. Her name was Julian or Julia . She made my day. ??

I had a hot green matcha tea latte. It was good my partner had a hot Americano with condensed milk because she really wanted a hot Vietnamese coffee but it is served cold. Servers were friendly and did a great job offering possible alternative combinations to feed our cravings. Place is clean. Coffee tastes better than Starbucks in my opinion. I wish prices were cheaper.

Love this Coffee Bean since it has a drive thru. Staff are always quick and friendly and know how to make a great drink of your choosing. There are some tables outside to sip your coffee and enjoy the daylight.

One of the worse coffee shop I have stumble upon in San Diego. Shit service and the store has nothing, no sweeteners, no napkins, no nothing. But still in business so I'm shocked. Not recommended!

This place is tiny inside and has table inside but small and limited. Some outside tables are available but too cold in winter.

The cookie butter latte is one of my favs! I think it's one of there best! And there's just enough shots in it to give you some energy for the day, def a good spot to checkout! Good service as well!

I miss going to this Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf drive-thru (very convenient) in Ruffin Village on Clairemont Mesa Blvd. Although it's a coffeehouse chain, I love their variety of beverages including food options. I've ordered the overnight oats, warmed up vegan banana walnut loaf/crumbled coffee cake, matcha tea latte, and salted caramel latte on different occasions. They were always yummy! I was never disappointed with the service. The staff were helpful and pleasant. As a result, I recommend it.
