The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf (sometimes shortened to simply "The Coffee Bean") is a Los Angeles, California-based coffee chain, owned and operated by International Coffee & Tea, LLC. The company was founded by Mona and Herbert Hyman. The first store opened in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Brentwood in September 1963. The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf celebrated its 45th anniversary during the month of September 2008. The Coffee Bean has locations in San Francisco, Phoenix, Las Vegas, Honolulu and all over Southern California including Los Angeles, San Diego, Santa Barbara and Ventura. Many "Coffee Beans" found outside of California are franchises, Singaporean entrepreneur Victor Sassoon has opened locations throughout Southeast Asia, and Hawaii's stores are franchises as well.
Wi-fi access is offered at most locations. Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf is an international presence with locations in Qatar, Singapore, Israel, Korea, United Arab Emirates, Brunei, Australia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines (franchisee is Mr. Walden Chu owner of BREADTALK,REDBOX,etc.), Kuwait, Egypt, Sri Lanka, and Mexico City.
Several Southern California Ralphs supermarkets feature full-service Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf kiosks in their stores.

Halal & Kosher
Most, if not all, of the products at Coffee Bean are certified as kosher. At least one Coffee Bean store even goes to the extent of meeting the higher standard of cholov yisroel in their dairy products. Unlike Starbucks, Coffee Bean has fared fairly well in its entry into the Israeli coffee chain market. This may be attributed to its kosher food selection, though the main reasoning is said to be that Coffee Bean allowed smoking.[citation needed] Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf's beverages are also halal.

SUPPORT FROM HOME
In 2008, The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf launched its “Support from Home” campaign. From July 1 until August 31, 2008, consumers were invited to purchase a bag of coffee, a tin of tea and/or retail merchandise to donate to U.S. troops overseas. During the campaign, the Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf also offered a “Support from Home” limited edition blend of coffee. The packaged coffee was designed with a special back label created to allow consumers to write a personalized message to soldiers. The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf worked in conjunction with an organization called “Soldiers’ Angels” to provide the product donations. They also donated a portion of the proceeds from the “Support from Home” blend to the Fisher House, an organization that acts as a “home away from home” for families of military personnel and veterans receiving medical care at major medical facilities. In total, Coffee Bean customers donated more than 18,000 pounds of coffee to military personnel.
HOLIDAY OPEN HOUSE
In 2008, The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf held a Holiday Open house at all company-owned locations in California and Arizona where community members were invited to stop by their local Coffee Bean to receive a free 12 oz. holiday beverage. The event was three hours long, during which time 35,000 drinks were given away.
The event also helped to raise $30,000 for The Help Group, a Los Angeles-based charity serving special needs youth, through Coffee Bean's "Deck The Walls" campaign. This campaign allows consumers to select and sign holiday-themed cards in exchange for a $1 donation. The cards are then used to "deck the walls" of the store and 100 percent of the proceeds are donated to The Help Group.
