50 YEARS IN THE MAKING
The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf was born during a trip our founders Herb and Mona Hyman took to Europe. After enjoying outstanding coffee throughout Europe, the couple decided to bring the specialty coffeehouse concept to America. The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf brand was established in 1963, opening the first store in the Brentwood neighbourhood of Los Angeles, California which continues to operate to this day.
Over the next 35 years, the Hymans continued to grow the coffee business and share their passion throughout Southern California. Unique flavours and handcrafted beverages became the cornerstones of their business. They carefully roasted and blended the beans to suit their guest’s tastes. These personalized creations have been used in formulating some of our popular and enduring blends still offered in our cafes today.
