We both got the “bee sting” and it was the best coffee we had on the island while we were there! The honey was absolutely delicious! Everybody was so kind and happy to show us what they were working on and answer questions. The bees were so awesome. BEAUTIFUL views! 20/10 recommend. I only wish we could have done their farm to table as well. Their passion shines through!”

    “The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf. I’m not sure what I was expecting but as for my first experience to this location. I’d have to say it was like one of those escape rooms. Excited to try something new just lost in the process. Only because I knew where it was supposedly located based off of google maps. If you go like you’re heading to foodland & drive to the front entrance. Take a right, The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf is at the end. We were about to park in front when I saw they had a drive through. We almost turned left skipping the ordering part & going straight to pickup window. So instead you have to turn right to loop back into the parking lot to order. Plus it seemed like the speaker had a bad connection since it was difficult to order. Asking for a frozen, blended matcha was heard as an iced matcha. Once we confirmed the frozen blended part she asked if I wanted whipped cream. I said yes & that was the end of the order so we pulled up to the window to pay. I was kind of bummed when I saw the drink. It was in a plain cup with no logo or whipped cream. However the drink itself was delicious. To me it kind of tasted more like a blended vanilla ice cream shake with matcha powder mixed in to give it that delicious flavor I love so much.My next visit will be in store so I can check out the atmosphere & see if there’s anything else I want to try. Plus maybe something my guy might want to try too. Since he is not a matcha fan like myself.Until next time.XOXO,ChelsieFletcher”

Our drinks are always good, of course, but what sets this location apart from all of the others is the customer service. They are always welcoming, friendly, know your favorite drinks, and just in general are exceptional at attracting and keeping happy customers.

We ordered through the app and our drinks were made super fast. We ordered a Blue Coconut Matcha which you don’t find in every city and it was really good. Same as the Blue Coconut Refresher. Highly recommended if you are in the island. Service was outstanding. I couldn’t take all my drinks at once to the car and they even helped me carry it outside. Never seen this in another Starbucks.

    Blank Street Coffee Lands in Los Angeles, With Ice Cream on the Way

    Days after Blank Street Coffee opened in Los Angeles, a line stretched "down the street" despite 103-degree heat, a local source told Daily Coffee News. The Brooklyn-born coffee and matcha chain opened its first West Coast cafe on Aug. 12 at 13273 Ventura Blvd. in Studio City, a Los Angeles neighborhood with deep roots in the entertainment business. It's the company's 106th location. "Studio City felt right for our California debut," co-founder and CEO Issam Freiha said in a statement.

  • Fast-Food Chains Chase a Thirstier, Younger Crowd

    Fast-Food Chains Chase a Thirstier, Younger Crowd

    Americans are drinking less alcohol, and fast-food chains have spotted a chance to fill the gap. They are courting young customers with frozen coffees and energy drinks that buyers can customize down to the flavor shot. Taco Bell has pushed harder than most, opening more than 30 Live Más Cafés inside its existing restaurants, where workers it calls "Bellristas" serve creamy chillers, fruity refreshers, and seasonal drinks alongside the usual menu. A diner can wash down a Triple Double Crunchwrap with a Pineapple Lime Rockstar Energy Refresca and its 200 milligrams of caffeine, roughly twice a regular coffee. Early results have already justified the expansion. After Taco Bell debuted Live Más Café outside San Diego in late 2024, that location saw a 40% sales lift, and the chain now plans a systemwide rollout as it chases $5 billion in beverage sales by 2030.
