cbtl - the coffee bean and tea leaf part 2

[jepoy22]

Til now, no ice blended

it's more than 2 months na, exag na ito

[~ anna ~]

Nadisappoint ako when I last went to CBTL.  Ang tabang ng drinks nila, nakalimutan ko na kung ano yung inorder ng kasama ko, but my order was their Ultimate Mocha drink.  Halos walang lasa yung inorder namin pareho.  Last year pa yun, and since then di na ako bumalik sa kanila.

[j.adore]

Forgot to share the drinks are back since last week! My friend said it was gone since November.

^ Was it because of the port congestion reason that they kept on saying?  Sayang, I really love the blended drinks, mas suave siya compared to starbucks, but I got turned off that they did not even bother to put a sign that they don't have stocks of the ice blended or the chai tea latte at one point.  Imagine naman, before buying I have to look for parking pa in timog or tomas morato area, pag baba mo, papipilahin ka pa chaka nila sasabihin walang drink?  Bad trip talaga.

[j.adore]

Yes, that's their press release.
Same here! I love their ice blended drink and I was craving for one for a while now. I got Starbucks just to ease the cravings kaso cannot compare talaga.
But yeah, the first time was like that.. I had to fall in line and it took a while before it was my turn tapos wala!!! So after that I just go straight up to ask if they have it yet.

I miss their spicy chicken salad. I just don't like it na mabagal sila magserve minsan.

Sissies, meron na ba ulit ng ice blended drinks? Thanks!

[silverlilac]

Ohh, kaya pala laging walang caramel ice blended dito sa CBTL near our place lately. Probably problems with supplies/procurement. Sayang naman yung ibang drinks na di available.

I received a free Ready Coffee box with 12x30gram packs nung last kami nag-CBTL (last weekend ata). Nagulat ako kasi binigay sa akin ng cashier, I wasn't really listening but I think it's because of my Swirl card, and minimum purchase of P350; the coffee pack cost P350 din daw. Masarap naman yung coffee with cream, sugar, and ginseng. No noticeable ginseng taste.

medyo hindi ko gusto pag tinatanong nila lagi if with whipped cream o wala yung drink. possible na way nila yun to let customers know na pwedeng light yung drinks nila pero siguro kung ganun ka conscious sa calories and all yung customer, sila na rin makakaisip to mention na wag lagyan ng cream. baka naman nagtitipid din ang Cbtl if they can get away with it. nevertheless, sa ngayon mas gusto ko Iceblended nila compared sa frap ng Starbucks kasi palagi na lang Starbucks eh.

Tried their blueberry bagel and it was bad

Sissies, meron na ba ulit ng ice blended drinks? Thanks!

Meron na!  Kainis lang talaga that they did not post it in their shop na wala para we didn't have to park and then line up pa

What branch is this? It's started nanaman parang just a few weeks lang ok stocks nila..

Since last week, unavailable na the ice blended flavor that I like

[KVsWahmmy]

Nalulungkot ako.... We went to CBTL-Glorietta last weekend and they don''t have Moroccan Mint Tea Latte (Chai Tea Latte lang meron), tapos sa coffee-based hot drinks, two varieties lang meron.

My oh my, why CBTL, WHY? I really prefer their drinks over Starbucks kasi mas rich ang taste, pero pag ganyang halos lahat di available parang nakakainis na nakakalungkot. I wonder what they're doing about this problem of theirs.

[petlovah]

Same sentiments here. I prefer their drinks than Starbucks'. So far, I haven't visited any of their branches kasi I already assumed ice blended drinks are unavailable.

[u8mypinkcookies]

Their blueberry bagel was disappointing

[j.adore]

Ok so I think if you go to their upscale stores, there's no shortage of items.
Branch near my office no more ice blended drinks for a few weeks now pero I was able to get from Shang

[rush]

first time ko itry frappe nila last december, na surprise ako kase mas masarap siya compared to starbucks. kaya lang walang branch malapit samin. first and last ko yun sa robinsons magnolia. ang layo kasi.

[rheinfall18]

^it's ice blended sis, naka-patent ang term na frapee to starbucks.

[tomatostellar]

^ I hope nga i-expand pa nila ang Ice Blended beverages nila. Gusto ko ng equivalent ng Java Chip (why don't I just go to Starbucks ;p)
Aaanyway, it's so nice that they now have a branch in SM Dasmariñas ♥

[newsoul]

napakasarap ng bagong drinks nila. i've tried the salted pistachio and the cookies and cream haven't tried the mint choco chip yet
