The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, Bangladesh in Gulshan, Dhaka

This is the story of waking up every morning and trying to do things better. Being a little bit different. And being true to ourselves. Being a local favorite. And a place where anybody can feel at home.

This is the story of a passionate, all consuming love of great coffee and incredible tea. Sourcing locally before that was a thing. Handpicking beans and leaves grown on family farms.

Finding fabulous flavors from all over the world. Honoring relationships with our farmers, our baristas, our communities and our guests. And serving it all up with a shot of relaxed optimism.

This is the story of starting small. One location out to be the best. And never losing that mentality. Because we know that every cup can be so much more.

A springboard. A muse. An infusion of inspiration. A jolt of creativity. The bookends of the perfect day. It’s why we do what we do. It’s how we got where we are.

It’s what makes us The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf®.
