One of the highlights of The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf is their commitment to quality coffee and a diverse menu that caters to a variety of tastes. Guests rave about their favorites, including the robust iced coffee, famed for its delightful strong roasty aroma that isn’t overly sweet—a perfect balance for a refreshing pick-me-up. For those who love savory flavors, the beef teriyaki is a must-try, delivering a satisfying blend of taste that pairs beautifully with their mustard sauce and fries, which many patrons can’t get enough of.

I’m not satisfied with how sometimes the staff treat the values customers in an appropriate way.Either they need refreshment training or need to change their attitude.The food sometimes also tastes different then the regular one.

In Brunei for a few days and was looking for a place to charge my phone. Saw a familiar coffeeshop and so I ordered. I like my coffee. Though it would be better if it was a little more hot. I am supposed to order my all time fave moroccan mint tea latte but the lady at the counter responded that it’s unavailable. So together with the beef teriyaki, I had my coffee. Just amazed to know that in Brunei, CBTL serves meals and not just pastries, bread and the usual pasta like in my home country. I also like the ambiance of the place. Let’s try again later or tomorrow. Hope they are consistent.

Went there for their breakfast meal(with free refillable coffee till 11am). Good wifi and power point for used. Meal is average and price is slightly on the high side. Recommended for its value meal in the morning.
