The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf Pūpūkea

The best coffee I’ve ever had! This was definitely my to go place every morning and will continue to be when I’m back home in Hawaii visiting family! North shore/Pupukea store was always so friendly and always remembered what type of coffee I wanted. I did skip one day and tried a place in Haleiwa…bad mistake! Just wished I’d brought back some of their coffee. Next time. Til then, I will continue to brag and tell people that visit there about the awesome coffee!

In love. Got the Plantation Tea & ended up going back multiple times for the Li Hing Lemonade! Its sooo good. Just wish more frapps can be veganized. Now that I'm back in CT I make my own Li Hing with Aldi's brand lemonade. Next I wanna make margaritas...

First visit, I asked for bacon avacado toast. “Actually, we don’t have bacon.” (Then take it off the menu.) Then the girl forgot my avocado toast. After patiently waiting for 16 minutes, I went and reminded them and showed them my receipt when she looked at me funny. It took her another 11 minutes to make that toast.
Second visit. I walk up to order and the girl looks over her shoulder at me and continues what she’s doing for a minute. Finally walks over and I order a watermelon mint tea. “We’re all out of watermelon.” Ok, can I get a mango tea. “We’re all out of mango.” Umm… can I get an avocado toast? “We’re all out of avocados.” You can’t be serious. I just walked away.
The first time there was two people ahead of me, we already got our drinks and we’re just standing there. You would think the employee would say, “hey, did we forget something?” Nope. Looked up at us at least 3 times, so I figured that toast was still just a toastin’…
I’m leaving two stars because the toast was pretty good, once I received it.

I had a cappuccino and a chai tea latte for my husband and it was awesome. The best part was, it was pouring rain today and the girl made the best hot coffee for us and her service was excellent. I forgot a mask and she gave me one right away instead of sending me back to get one in the rain. It really made my day and my trip to north shore a great one. Thank you!!

Great coffee! The overnight oats are a great way to start your morning. The veggie power bowl is great (especially if you want a break from foodland poke bowls). Never too crowded and the staff is always fast and friendly.

Tiny coffee shop attached to Foodland. Grab n Go ONLY - NO seating! Seems if you weren't gonna have ANY seating (neither indoor OR outdoor) it would be a drive-thru... nope! Literally have to get out of your car (after finding parking in a perpetually busy parking lot) and then go back to your car to drink it, unless you like hanging with the bums out front. Coffee is decent, but the lack of any place to enjoy it, begs you to go somewhere (anywhere) else. Also, due to understaffing they close at 2p.

I have always enjoyed the coffee at The Coffee Bean &Tea Leaf. The coffee shop is located adjacent to and connected to Food Land shopping center. There is always ample parking. The street light makes entering and exiting the parking lot very easy. The coffee shop is always spotlessly clean during my visit and staff is always cheerful and helpful. Definitely a good stop. I gave 4 stars because I stopped mid afternoon and brewed coffee was not available but in all fairness they were closing in two and a half hours.

I got the dark chocolate iced coffee and it was delicious. The best coffee on the whole island! I’ve been disappointed at every cafe I’ve been to except for this one. 10/10 go to this place if you want a good cup of coffee

Today I decided to treat myself. Makana, the friendly barista, made me a large blended caramel coffee drink with an extra shot of espresso & topped it with whipped cream. The young woman had great customer service skills & I received great quick service. It was well worth the $7.00

Worsts customer service I ever had!!!!! We were waiting for our order about 25 min, the order was totally wrong from what we ordered and the server yelled at us out loud in front of other people when we asked to fix our order. He yelled and said to chill out and not even apologized. We walked out with drinks that we don’t even like because it’s not we ordered !!!!
