    First of all, let me tell you that I love Coffee Bean. It is this particular outlet I have a problem with. We ordered two chocolate ice blends, which is one of our favourite coffee bean products. However, I dislike having whipped cream in it. I simply hate the taste. The cashier didn't ask us whether to include whipped cream or not, but when we got the drinks, they came with whipped cream. My friend is too kind and didn't want to return the drinks. We ended up throwing away almost half of both drinks. 3.5 stars to the pasta bolognaise.

    Beat place to just sit back and relax. Heard from a friend that this is one of the best Coffee Beans outlet he has been to, due to the good customer service, ambiance and deco. Service is very decent, food and coffee along with the ambiance is very good. They have a very rustic and cosy set up for biz meeting or even for a quick catch up over coffee and some decent food. Chai tea late was really great and the regular feels like a large. Good place to have a conversation with a friend. They also got couches to relax on.

    It was great to see the coffee bean and tea leaf franchise back in business in Sri Lanka. Their menu is updated from the before covid and they got fair prices for the quality and the quantity of the food they offer. Food: Their food are halal certified. We opted for chicken pizza, hazelnut latte, and blueberry cheesecake. Pizza was fresh and delicious. Hazelnut latte got a great aroma and was creamy and well balanced. Ideal place in liberty plaza to plug in your laptop and get some work done or to have a chat with a friend. The staff was respectful and efficient. However the interior was not exactly good as it used to be.

    Location and interior is great. But the quality of food does not match price. For their prices they should maintain consistency of the taste of food , but they have failed to do so. But great place to hang around.

    Same standard as other international branches except.... the Coffee beans packets are too old. Always they sell old stocks that are about to be expired. Displayed many months later from the production date. You will never experience this kind of lowest respect for coffee bean lovers from other countries. Stopped completely and turned to Lavazza beans which are always fresh from importers outlet Colombo 7. But higly recommend to pay a visit for coffee and snacks for those expect genuine international coffee shop standards.

    We visited Library Plaza and patiently waited until the shop reopened after the lunch break. Being a weekday, there weren't many customers around. The staff members were friendly and helpful, providing us with excellent service. We decided to try their chocolate smoothie, which turned out to be truly delightful, striking a perfect balance of flavors without being overly sweet.

    Just as all of their partners outlets, this one has kept it's uniqueness that which makes coffee bean, truly special. Be it dropping in for a quick cup of Joe, to enjoying a full gourmet meal, to spending a relaxing day immersed in the amazing smell of great coffee; this is the place to be. Not very crowded, even on the weekends, plenty of seating space with big open windows which helps make the area not feel cramped, even though it is somewhat small. As it is situated inside the shopping mall itself, it's a great location to stop by for a quick snack as well.

    Perfect coffee shop to hang out with your homies. That was really enjoyable 😉. It is located at uptown 1st flow also it's easy to find 😀 It we talk about staff, they were so amazing and friendly. A short time, we get our order. Food wash yummy 😋 if you are more photography 📸 person there are several stunning locations to do your stuff. Overall, it was quite nice experience I ever had in my life 😌 Thanks, coffee bean & tea leaf. You guys did a nice job. 💓

    It was a cozy place to have a coffee and put in some work. Free wifi and power points are available for your laptops. Big tables for groups are available too. Good coffee with some tasty snacks.

  • 1/5 Thisura Y. 2 months ago on Google • 27 reviews New
    Worst experience ever. Despite being advertised, the place had no wifi. The absence of washroom facilities was inconvenient. The prices were exorbitant, completely disproportionate to the lackluster food quality. Moreover, the menu options were disappointingly limited. This visit will undoubtedly be my first and the last."

  • 1/5 Sahan R. 3 months ago on Google • 18 reviews New
    Unprofessional service. The cashier was enforcing higher price coffees intentionally on us. Prices on the menu card is not what they punch. Intentionally deceiving customers. Very rude and bossy attitude of staff. Very low value for money. Do not recommend at all.

  • 4/5 Dishan F. 2 years ago on Google
    A new establishment on Crouch End, this place has everything you'd want in a coffee shop. Ordered a mocha and it was very good, amazing quality of chocolate which I certainly did not expect. Also had a cheese and beef sandwich which was a little expensive but very nicely done. Atmosphere is very chill and staff seem in good spirits even in these difficult times. My only complaint would be there's not a great selection of food but it's clear the focus is on quality and not quantity, and I'm sure this will improve in the future Would absolutely recommend over other places in the area.

  • 3/5 Indika S. 4 years ago on Google
    Atmosphere 8/10 Service 7/10 Cleanliness 8/10 Cappuccino I ordered was okay 6/10 Oreo cheese cake 2/10 👎☹️😖. I was looking for rich and smooth cheesy texture that melt in the mouth. It was opposite and so dry and crumbly texture. I have to put some efforts to take it down through my throat. Not worth for any aspect. Sorry a perfect nightmare for the Halloween season!!🎃

  • 4/5 Tania M. 4 years ago on Google
    Chill place for a catch-up. Recommend the Hazelnut Ice Blended coffee! But you need to make sure it defrosts really well to enjoy it properly. The panninis come with a crunchy salad and are good. The pizzas come cut into 4 squares. The Margarita was alright with cheese and herbs but I would have preferred if it had some real tomato on it.

    Worse cold blended and iced capiciino coffee of my life. Rude manager - stay away

  • 1/5 Tamashi H. 4 months ago on Google • 7 reviews
    Had a less-than-pleasant experience at this establishment. I noticed lipstick marks on the glasses, which was off-putting. Additionally, I found the service to be lacking in customer-friendliness. I hope the management addresses these issues to improve the overall atmosphere and satisfaction for customers.

  • 3/5 Dilhani A. 7 months ago on Google
    The person at the counter is so rude and unfriendly. Not to us personally. Some foreigners walked in during closing time , there is a polite way to tell people that they cannot serve. This guy was the most unfriendly worse customer service person that I've seen recently. And why is the place closing at 7 p m on a Saturday? So many people were trying to come in after shopping but place had the closed sign. Get some staff with good friendly personality. The short stocky guy is a no no .

  • 2/5 Tina K. 4 years ago on Google
    Okay for coffee and pastries, and their lunch food is great, especially the wraps... WHEN they have them! It’s always so disappointing to go there and t be able to get the lunch items because they cannot hang on to their staff.

👍 A very aesthetically pleasing interior. With a great shisha lounge in the back garden area.

Portion sizes were fairly ge...
