Everyday Extraordinary: The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf launches 26th St. Bistro

Celebrating its 50th Anniversary this 2013, The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf  (CBTL) has become one of the world’s best-loved brands because of the extraordinary passion and craft it puts into its specialty coffees and teas. Now it once again delivers extraordinary experiences every day for its customers with its latest innovation and unique dining concept called the 26^th St. Bistro by The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf.

“26^th St. Bistro is the essence of The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf expressed as a full-service restaurant. Our goal is to deliver an ‘#everydayextraordinary’ experience, and we do this by transforming everyday meals into extraordinary dining experiences, at prices you can afford every day,” explains Walden Chu, President of The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf Philippines, the brand’s local franchiser.

I had the privilege to experience the 26th St. Bistro's delectable menu together with the other lucky bloggers invited. For those who are frequent visitors of coffee shops, a restaurant like this is a must to try - something really different. Please find the food that I've tried from their menu.

Compared to regular The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf branches, 26^th St. Bistro distinguishes itself with a larger and more comfortable dining area, specially designed with a more upscale tone yet still offering a relaxing and easy ambiance perfect for leisurely meals and engaging conversations.

But perhaps 26^th St. Bistro’s most outstanding feature is the expanded range of unique and distinctive menu items, complete with breakfast, lunch, and dinner selections, to delicious desserts and all-day snacks. The signature coffee and tea offerings are supplemented by a variety of beverages, including imported wines and beers.

CBTL is the first to offer the Original Ice Blended Drink, the first to offer Tea Latte, and the first to offer handcrafted brews made at home with the CBTL Single-Serve Beverage System.

For my drink, I ordered for green mango shake.

 

For our delicious desserts, we had the option to choose one between these 2. I chose Chocolate Lava a la Mode since I'm a lover of chocolates and I'm not a fan of apple pies or cakes.

With 26^th St. Bistro, it has elevated its casual dining experience that’s distinctively different, given that it's actually set within a coffee shop. Loyal customers still recognize it as The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf® we know and love.

Located within Bonifacio Global City at the corner of 26^th St. and 5^th Avenue, the first and flagship branch of 26^th St. Bistro by The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf® has already been in operation for several months. For Ortigas customers, a second branch opened at the East Wing, 5^th Level of the Shangri-La Plaza Mall.
