Cleanest Coffee Bean I have been to! I absolutely loved the cleanliness and hospitality of the employees. I believe her name was Ashley, her customer service was impeccable! She was fast and extremely patient with my detailed order. I highly recommend coming to this location!

I have been coming to this location for almost a year now and never before have I been charged .25 for water. I think it’s ridiculous to pay for water when I’m a paying customer. This was a very disappointing experience and greedy fee to be charging customers. It’s no way to show appreciation to loyal customers.

The Montrose location on Honolulu is the best! Staff are incredible, always friendly, know your name and always get orders correct.

They took my food and heated it up without asking, which ruined it. Vanilla cold brew was ridiculously sweet, and it had a very weird flavor. Like maybe not real sugar, or they were covering up bad beans. A caprese has basil on it, spinach is not a substitute for basil just because it is green.

We have been ordering delivery from the Coffee Bean for over 1 year.We usually order the egg bites, caramel frappe and today we decided to try the overnight oats with berries, chia seeds and pecans.As always everything is tasty, fresh and arrived hot or cold depending on your order request.Delivery service is always prompt. :-) 👍👍

My old stomping ground! Ever amazing. Good service and food, drink. It’s quite the hotspot for students studying so come early or fight for a table

Great service, better than the comp across the street. Great coffee and good internet. Do all my studying, work, and coffee drinking here. The app is great and I always place an order in the morning to pickup on my way to work! Thanks for the hard work Coffee Bean Montrose!

I personally prefer Coffee Bean to Starbucks. They have things the competitors dont have and its just a more relaxed, homey feel the way the seating is laid out.

This location closes the latest in the region. The parking access can be confusing and quantity limited, especially at lunch.

I ordered an iced latte at another location and it was so bitter and horrible I could not drink it. I returned it here at this location and the shift supervisor Chastity was fantastic! She is an excellent brand ambassador she did not just take the drink and make me an iced tea, she inquired what was wrong with the coffee and then suggested to try another one in case 1 of 3 things was wrong with it. She made me a new coffee which was better than the original along with giving me an iced tea in case I was still not happy. Shes definitely a keeper!

Review №13

2022-10-25 15:23:30

Use to be my favorite location till this morning. I purchase from here multiple times a week with no issue and ALWAYS TIPS but between the attitude of some of the younger female employees to this guy that’s working now- when the guy who’s on register right now is on register- he never has change when I try to order with cash. I don’t have my debit card so I literally couldn’t get coffee because I have cash… You’re telling me that you have been open for hours but don’t have any change? Ridiculous. I’d give no stars if I could.

The usual. A small line and wait. I just cant accept these prices at any establishment. Still the have wages, insurance, rent and buying to do. Nice atmosphere though. Plenty of outside seating. Surrounded by the film set of small town shops and leafy trees. Used in many a production..from Clint Eastwood to CSI and God knows what. Beautiful at night. The area is shut by 9..pm.

Great atmosphere and service. Cyclists are treated well here and theres a lot of space outside to sit. Just be careful to not sit in the chair at the neighbors restaurant.

I love this place. It does get busy at night, but their services is always fast. There is one person I really like that, and he makes you feel welcome. I just wish I remember the guys name. Anyways, if you get the app for Coffee bean, you will rack up enough points to get either free drink or pastry. Even more you get deals that not the public might get!

2018-07-03 00:29:06

Good coffee, nice staff, great, very comfy seating. Has a nice seating area. The perfect place to get coffee and hang out with friends or someone special. The only objection I have is that I’ve heard that the employees are apparently a bit overworked or underpaid, given how unhappy they seem with management, which is a bit of an ethically important issue for me, so I’m giving this three stars for an excellent coffee place that just needs to treat its workers better!

My wife and I stop in there for coffee several times per week during our morning walk. The baristas are very friendly and it has a very comfortable atmosphere. The pastries are OK, the coffee is good and the wifi is excellent (as it should be in a coffee shop). There is also very convenient seating outside if you want to be outdoors.

2018-11-08 18:16:39

I love that they carry jasmine tea, which other chain places dont carry. The staff is friendly and helpful, and they have comfortable couch- as well as chair- seating areas designed for comfortable enjoyment of your beverage. A nice place to visit!

Great, big seating area, but close parking is somewhat a nightmare. Although free parking is somewhat nearby. Everyone is super friendly and nice! Our iced tea is perfect on this hot day, however EZ ice is not understood. I seem to have extra ice...

Review №22

2020-02-20 04:38:32

I loved the outdoor seating. Parking is down the street--directly behind the store is for the banking institution only so watch signage. The baristas were super friendly and helpful when I was trying to order tea and could not remember what type I usually get.

Review №23

2022-07-01 04:15:35

Just another coffee bean. I feel like this location is always short staffed so youre waiting about 10 min for your drink when its not very packed. Ill have to try it again to see if its a consistent wait.

Review №24

2019-03-06 23:32:37

This one in Montrose is on a corner and gets a lot of traffic because it has seating inside and out. Accessible from one entrance via a ramp. Great mix of people and free parking nearby. They share their parking with other stores. I love their tea and they have a good variety. Their coffee is also pretty good, particularly the House Blend. This location is in downtown Montrose with banks, stores and restaurants nearby. Very easy to see in traffic.

Very nice location friendly staff Im enjoying having a coffee spend some time with friends. Its also a beautiful LA downtown view.

2018-01-31 17:24:12

This is a great coffee place, great location, service, and quality of products. Indoor and outdoor seating, right next to the very quaint walkable Montrose Village. I have to say though, and this applies to many coffee places, that the free WiFi has promoted many to plant themselves at a table for hours, having maybe a cup or two of coffee, but preventing others from seating down. Perhaps these businesses should have a WiFi time limit, or just charge for it, we should all be able to seat down and enjoy it, not everyone needs to be connected 24/7.

I was there this week and this barista called Jessy made me the best pumpkin spice drink. Felt more like a milkshake than a coffee.. it was incredible. Cant wait to go again for another one.. thanks Jessy..

Great staff good product. Nice and clean. Beware of permanent patrons who are loud and feel they own the place and they are many. We usually buy our coffee and walk down honolulu and use the public bench.

Review №31

2018-10-13 06:23:27

Consider yourself a rare rainbow unicorn if you manage to grab a table at this place. Ive been here a dozen times it is ALWAYS full of laptop table hogs each killing a 4 top each. Ive managed to sit inside once. The patio usually has a few tables free if you like sitting in direct sunlight. The leather easy chairs inside look like they come from a thrift shop, worn out and gross, and the low patio chair cushions outside are worn, flattened and should have been thrown away years ago. Other than that its your typical CBTL.

Messed up my order, didnt call my husband name when the order was ready. And came to ask my husband if hus dog was a service dog when the dog was clearly wearing a service dog harness. 🙄

The lady that helped me this evening is very nice. She has a lot of patience putting up with these Armenian women who threw things at her to ring up. I could never do her job, I would of put that woman in her place quick.

Great staff. We came in late, just before closing and they still greeted us with a friendly smile

Review №35

2018-01-23 03:52:28

Decent atmosphere. Decent coffee. With other, higher quality coffee shops coming into the area, I really hope people go to those and stop coming to these national chains. Buy local. Support craft. Just my 2 cents.

Review №36

2019-12-28 17:01:32

Great location to sit and people watch, tons of seating but can get busy on weekends. Prefer the taste of their coffee over Starbucks across the street.

Review №37

2017-08-10 17:23:52

I dont mind that the workers can wear whatever they want, but it does bother me that they dont wear hats. Specially some of the workers with messy hair style or out of control hair styles. They should wear hair net or something when dealing with peoples food. I had to throw away my food after employee gave it to me just cause her hair was hanging down towards my food. No good.

Homey feel.. Though the furniture / bathroom are tired and worn and trash / bathroom maintenance is often neglected, the staff and patrons are chill and you can enjoy the coffee in a friendly spot.
