The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf at Garden Row, located conveniently along Abad Street in bustling Cebu City, offers more than just your typical coffee shop experience—it’s a haven for coffee and tea enthusiasts who crave quality, consistency, and a welcoming ambiance. Nestled within Block 11 of Garden Row, this branch stands out with a spacious layout that caters to both indoor comfort and alfresco relaxation, making it a versatile spot whether you’re stopping by for a quick caffeine fix or settling in for a leisurely chat with friends.
At the heart of their menu is an expertly curated selection of coffee and tea crafted to awaken your senses. The Espresso is a must-try: a single shot boasting a perfectly balanced profile with a golden crema, delivering a caramel-like aroma, velvety body, and an earthy flavor that finishes bittersweet—each sip a concentrated burst of indulgence at ₱150. For those who appreciate a creamy texture, the luscious Cappuccino combines a double shot of espresso with steamed whole milk and a thick foam layer, offering complexity in aroma and a velvety mouthfeel, priced at ₱200. Coffee connoisseurs value the precision and consistency that The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf is known for, which is echoed in glowing customer reviews praising their beverages’ reliability and rich flavor.
Tea lovers are not left behind with the notable offering of the African Sunrise Tea Retail Tin Can. This unique herbal infusion presents a vivid reddish-orange brew with a mellow, honeyed sweetness balanced by hints of vanilla and bright citrus notes from orange peel. Caffeine-free and hand-harvested, this blend is an elegant alternative to the traditional coffee buzz, perfect for those quiet, restorative moments throughout the day.
The drink lineup extends to ready-to-beverage options designed for on-the-go lifestyles: zero-calorie sparkling water and the sophisticated San Pellegrino Aranciata—an effervescent orange-flavored soda with a finely balanced medium sweetness and subtle bitter notes, adding a refreshing twist to your day. Prices ranging from ₱165 to ₱205 make these beverages as accessible as they are delightful.
What truly elevates the Garden Row location is its inviting atmosphere. Customers often note the blend of a stylish interior with comfortable seating both indoors and outdoors. This spot efficiently handles the weekend crowds without compromising on service speed, and the outdoor tables even have sheltered areas to enjoy your coffee regardless of the weather. The vibrant yet relaxed environment, complete with fast WiFi and friendly staff, encourages visitors to stay longer—whether for work, study, or catching up with friends.
One of the standout elements that resonates in the reviews is the all-day breakfast offering—a smart addition broadening their menu beyond drinks. The corned beef meal, paired with a small Americano, earns particular praise for its premium ingredients and hearty portion that includes fried rice and tomato slices, making it a satisfying and well-priced option for anyone seeking a quick, flavorful bite alongside their coffee.
Whether you’re winding down late at night, seeking a peaceful coffee break, or grabbing a quick meal, The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf Garden Row creates a memorable, multi-sensory experience through its thoughtfully crafted beverages, welcoming ambiance, and attentive service.

If you want consistent coffee in a well known location, go to CBTL IT Park. With wifi if you have Swirl Rewards. Double Dry Chocolate was my best coffee cup yet, however, so sad that African Sunrise Latter has always been soldout (been a year since I last tasted one in Cebu).

Great Coffee bean location. This is one of the biggest locations of this chain I have seen. Lots of outdoor seating and indoor as well. Outdoor seating has a roof for some tables so you can enjoy it in the rain too. Service is good and much faster than other coffee shops. It is also right in the middle of IT Park so nearly everything is nearby.

I usually come here after a night out with my girls or perhaps a late night yapping session. If you’re nearby and just want to chill, this is the best place! They have a full blast AC inside and if you want a better experience, there’s an alfresco that you can hangout with the Ayala cats (please don’t hurt them). During our last visit, they gave us a free tumbler after purchasing some particular drinks. Anyway, this is my go to cafe when every other place is already closed… ;) It feels like home here for me.

I loved that CBTL has added the new all-day breakfast meals. It widens the narrow range of food choices before. I tried the corned beef meal. Best part is it comes with coffee—1 small americano. Corned beef is premium with diced potato. Comes with fried rice and slice of tomato. Priced 275php. Anyone getting a quick meal fix and loves coffee here, this is bang for the buck.
