The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf at Bukit Panjang Plaza

Premium coffee and the original Ice Blended drink in a cosy cafe setting.

The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf is an American specialty coffee and tea chain that has been a fixture in Singapore's cafe scene since the brand entered the market, known for introducing the Original Ice Blended — a pioneering frozen coffee drink that predated the frappuccino craze.

The brand's Singapore outlets serve the full range of espresso-based drinks, brewed coffees, and specialty teas, alongside the Ice Blended series that remains a best-seller in flavours like mocha, caramel, and cookies and cream.

The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf differentiates itself through its use of higher-quality coffee beans compared to typical chain competitors and its broader tea selection sourced from premium tea-growing regions. The menu also includes a range of pastries, cakes, and light meals such as sandwiches and wraps, making it suitable for both quick coffee runs and longer cafe sessions. With comfortable seating, free Wi-Fi, and a relaxed atmosphere, The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf has positioned itself as a "third place" between home and work — a comfortable setting for meetings, studying, or simply unwinding with a well-made drink.
