What recent reviews say

Reviewers consistently praise The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf for smooth, high-quality coffee and a relaxed setting that draws regulars back. Staff friendliness is a bright spot, though one recent visit involved dismissive service and slow attention, and the air conditioning runs warm during busy periods.

Quality varies slightly: portions sometimes shrink from menu photos, but the brew crew and individual staff members like Azreena earn specific mentions for helpfulness. It's a solid neighbourhood spot near Sunway Onsen for breakfast or casual catch-ups.

Recent shift: one mixed 3-star review a week ago stands out from the 5-star run, citing dismissive female staff and slow table attention on a quiet day; earlier reviews are uniformly positive
