Whenever I'm in the neighborhood, I like to stop here to get one of my favorite drinks...lychee iced tea! They're located in Kuono Marketplace. It's not a big store but they're usually not too busy so you can get a table to chill at and the staff is always friendly. I like that it doesn't get too crowded or loud like some coffee shops do.

Coffee is good, but I constantly get charged the wrong price on items, especially on days that they run specials like Mondays and Thursdays. Today's total didn't even make sense with what I ordered, even for regular price. Seems like all CBTL are having a hard time keeping their staff.
I love stopping by this Coffee Bean! Super cute and modern inside. Love the layout of the store and the grab-n-go area before you pay is convenient if you're in a pinch. Baristas are super friendly too. It makes for a great place to sit (inside or out) after shopping around Kahala. My go-to is just an iced americano with a cream cap. Their espresso is smooth and their cream cap is a fun little treat on top. Thanks guys!

Locked their doors as I was walking up at 6:54 PM on Thursday Jan 16 2025.
People that work here now are laid back without care. One girl handed me hot coffee filled too high and too hot that when I sat down to drink it the cup defected and the lid popped off and all the hot coffee burned my left hand. My hand is red and sore now. And when I went back to tell them they said they can refund the coffee? Is that fair compensation? They are so uncaring and careless!

I went there when it first opened and the workers were so nice and customer service was amazing, but these past few times I've been going the workers have been so rude. I went a couple of days ago and this older lady served me. I felt like I was treated as an inconvenience, she barely talked to me, barely looked at me, overall was not friendly at all. I watched her make my caramel latte, she barely took the time to make my drink. I didn't taste caramel in my drink at all. I would not recommend coming here.

I really enjoy going to this coffee bean location as my drink is always delicious and the service is great. However, I’ve noticed these poor baristas are always stressed behind the counter, often working by themselves, having to deal with taking orders and making drinks at the same time.As a barista elsewhere, it makes me sad to see them so stressed. Please treat your baristas well, CBTL!!

I really appreciate CBTL, service is friendly and the places are well kept.in the past 3 months however, the coffee and baked items have had some issues.Most important is coffee. It's got to be hot, or at least warm. About a month ago I was given coffee that was room temp. I'm not sure how the barista didnt realize it went it was handed to me. I'm trying to figure out how coffee can get down to room temp if they are selling coffee all day long.The bakery items have been suffering at a couple of the CBTL locations (Monsorrat and Kahala). They are not fresh anymore. They are cold and old.once I the barista asked if I wanted the cinnamon roll heated up, they microwaved of so much that it was burned.But what made me write this review was that multiple items in the display had mold on them!! (Zoom in on the pics to see it)That makes me think that the manager doesn't care about customers.I'm not going to buy anything more until CBTL starts caring about their quality.I really like CBTL. I hope things get better.

I stopped in for a hot Chai Tea Latte. It was nice being able to sit inside and enjoy my beverage before grocery shopping.It was so good I forgot to take a photo.

Had a Thai Iced Coffee it tasted nothing like traditional Thai coffee and was sickly sweet. It had way too much condensed milk in proportion to the coffee. This was my first time here will try again hopefully the regular iced coffee is not like this too.
