About The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf Philippines
The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf was founded in Los Angeles in 1963 and is credited with inventing the blended iced coffee drink in 1987 years before other major chains introduced their own versions of the format. In the Philippines, the brand is operated under Rustan Marketing Corporation, part of the long-established Rustan Group, and has grown into a fixture in malls and business districts across Metro Manila and beyond.
Locally, CBTL has positioned itself as a slightly more premium alternative in the Philippine café space, competing directly with other major international coffee chains while carving out its own identity around its Ice Blended drinks and tea program. The brand also runs “Hope in a Box,” a bottled water initiative where all proceeds go toward funding public school classrooms in the Philippines, tying the brand to a specific local social cause.
Popular Items to Try
- Ice Blended® — the drink that essentially created the blended coffee category; available in coffee, tea, and caffeine-free versions.
- Matcha Green Tea Ice Blended — one of the most frequently mentioned non-coffee favorites, using ceremonial-grade matcha powder.
- Signature Shaken Espresso — a newer, richer espresso drink that’s been offered at limited-time promotional pricing.
- Cold Brew Latte — a smoother, less acidic option for those who prefer cold brew over standard iced coffee.
- Eggs Benedict — a recurring mention among customers using CBTL for a proper breakfast rather than just a coffee run.
Deals, Promos, and Discounts
CBTL Philippines has run limited-time pricing on select drinks, such as its Signature Shaken Espresso, though these promos rotate and aren’t permanent menu fixtures. The brand’s most consistent ongoing initiative is Hope in a Box, where purchasing the branded bottled water directly funds public school classroom construction a built-in way to support a cause with a routine purchase. For any other current promos or bundle deals, it’s best to check the official CBTL Philippines Facebook page or website, since offers can vary by branch and season.
Price and Value for Money
The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf sits in the premium tier of the Philippine café market, generally priced a notch above mainstream coffee chains, particularly on its specialty lattes and Ice Blended drinks. That positioning tracks with what customers get in return: a wide food menu that goes beyond pastries into full breakfast and pasta plates, plus a more spacious, laptop-friendly seating setup at many branches. For anyone treating a café visit as a full breakfast or work session rather than just a quick coffee grab, the pricing holds up reasonably well against the added menu variety and seating comfort.
Is It Worth Trying?
For coffee history buffs, CBTL’s claim to fame is worth knowing: the Ice Blended predates the blended coffee drinks now offered by nearly every major chain, and the brand still leans into that legacy with its lineup of coffee, tea, and caffeine-free blended options. Reviewers consistently single out the tea program as a genuine differentiator too it’s one of the few major Philippine café chains where ordering “a proper cup of tea” doesn’t feel like an afterthought next to the coffee menu.
Where the experience varies more is by branch: some locations get praised for spacious, quiet seating that’s ideal for studying or meetings, while others draw more mixed feedback on service speed during peak hours. Given the brand’s positioning as a slightly pricier café option, it tends to work best for people planning to stay a while for a full breakfast, a work session, or a longer catch-up rather than a fast in-and-out coffee run.
Dining Experience and Service
CBTL branches are generally set up for both quick counter orders and longer stays, with many locations offering laptop-friendly seating and free internet access. Delivery is available through GrabFood and foodpanda for branches that support it, and the food menu extends the café well beyond drinks into full breakfast, salad, sandwich, and pasta options a broader spread than what most competing coffee chains offer.
Branches, Contact, and Opening Hours
CBTL Philippines operates numerous branches across Metro Manila malls and business districts, as well as locations in cities like Bacolod, with formats ranging from mall food court counters to standalone cafés with full seating.
Opening hours may vary by branch, so it is better to check the official branch page or the CBTL Philippines website before visiting.
