The Coffee Bean Tea Leaf First Hawaiian Center

All of the CBTL where I live closed down, so whenever I visit Honolulu, it is a must-get for me. I especially love the caramel ice blended—ultra smooth, sweet, and delicious! Additionally, given that this particular location was only a 5 minute walk from my AirB&B, plus the very friendly barista made it all that much better! 5

Good brew, limited inhouse seating, with an opportunity to experience their unique inventories of coffees, teas, Green teas are my first choice. Water closet availability in house, or mall too, during business hours

Have started enjoying getting coffee downstairs. Very nice staff and im in the same bldg. Due to COVID they hours have changed slightly and they follow COVID guidelines and social distancing.

Cant go a day without the perfect one without a flask of chewable ice so bad I'm addicted to it. If I go here it will be part of my routine!

This Coffee Bean Tea Leaf location is inside the First Hawaiian Bank tower on the ground floor in the hallway. The space is tight and when there are afternoon drink promos the line wraps to the elevators. It's usually one barista taking the order and making the drink so it can be awhile. They have a small selection of pastries in the display and a fridge on the side with grab and go items (sandwiches, wraps, pasta salad, fruit cups, yogurt). You can enjoy your coffee and food there; they have a few small tables on the side but no privacy as people will walk by.
