Most Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf regulars know their go-to drink order by heart but the food menu tends to get overlooked, even though it’s genuinely one of the more diverse bakery-and-lunch lineups in the coffee shop category. From protein-packed breakfast burritos to flaky French-style croissants and quick grab-and-go snacks, there’s a lot more on offer than the standard muffin-and-scone rotation you’ll find at most competing chains.
This guide breaks down the full Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf food menu by category bakery, breakfast, lunch, snacks, and bottled options along with prices, calorie ranges, and practical pairing suggestions to help you build a better order next time you’re in line.
Key Takeaways
- Coffee Bean’s food menu spans five main categories: bakery/pastries, breakfast, lunch, snacks, and bottled beverages.
- Prices typically range from $2.35 for a small snack item to $6.35 for a full lunch sandwich.
- The bakery case features French-style pastries including croissants, muffins, scones, and cake pops.
- Breakfast items include protein-forward burritos, bagels, and oatmeal-style options.
- The lunch menu leans toward sandwiches, flatbreads, and a lower-calorie protein box option.
- Snack offerings include better-for-you packaged options like popcorn, nut bars, and dark chocolate almonds.
- Menu availability can vary by location, and not every item is guaranteed to be stocked at every café.
Coffee Bean Bakery & Pastries Menu
The bakery case is arguably the centerpiece of the Coffee Bean food experience, stocked with a genuine mix of sweet and lightly savory French-style pastries designed to pair naturally with hot espresso drinks.
Bakery & Pastries Prices and Calories
| Item | Price | Calories | Best Pairing |
| Butter Croissant | $3.95 | 280–320 | Americano |
| Almond Croissant | $4.45 | 420–480 | Latte |
| Dark Chocolate Croissant | $4.75 | 400–460 | Matcha |
| Blueberry Muffin | $3.85 | 380–420 | Brewed Coffee |
| Blueberry Scone | $3.95 | 400–450 | Earl Grey Tea |
| Cinnamon Streusel Loaf | $3.95 | 360–410 | Vanilla Latte |
| Monster Cookie | $3.55 | 340–390 | Cold Brew |
| Red Velvet Cake Pop | $3.75 | 180–220 | Any Ice Blended® |
| Chocolate Cake Pop | $3.75 | 180–220 | Mocha Latte |
What Makes the Bakery Case Stand Out
The Butter Croissant is the closest thing to a “safe default” on the whole food menu — buttery, flaky, and lower in calories than most of the other pastry options, which makes it a natural pairing for a straightforward black coffee or Americano without piling on too much extra sweetness. The Almond Croissant, by contrast, sits at the richer end of the bakery lineup, with a filling that pushes its calorie count meaningfully higher than the plain version — worth knowing if you’re trying to balance a lighter drink with a heartier pastry, or vice versa.
Cake pops are the standout lower-calorie sweet option in the bakery case, landing well below the croissants and scones while still delivering a genuine dessert-style treat — a smart pick if you want something sweet without committing to a full-sized pastry.
Coffee Bean Breakfast Menu
Coffee Bean’s breakfast lineup leans more protein-forward than a typical coffee shop breakfast case, with a genuine burrito option alongside more traditional bagel and oatmeal choices.
Breakfast Menu Prices and Calories
| Item | Price | Calories |
| Bacon Egg Burrito | $5.55 | 420–480 |
| Sausage, Egg & Cheese Burrito | $5.55 | 440–500 |
| Plain Bagel Bun | $2.95 | 280–320 |
| Jalapeño Cheddar Bagel | $2.95 | 300–340 |
| Modern Oats 5 Berry | $4.35 | 260–310 |
| Yogurt Parfait | $4.55 | 220–270 |
Choosing the Right Breakfast Item
If you’re after something substantial before a long morning, the Sausage, Egg & Cheese Burrito is the heaviest option on the breakfast menu, delivering the most calories and protein of anything in this category — a solid pick if you’re skipping lunch or heading into a physically demanding morning. On the lighter end, the Yogurt Parfait and Modern Oats 5 Berry both come in under 320 calories, making them a better fit if you’re pairing breakfast with a richer specialty drink like an Ice Blended® and don’t want the combined order to feel too heavy.
The Jalapeño Cheddar Bagel is worth calling out specifically as one of the more distinctive options on the menu — it’s a savory departure from the standard plain or everything-bagel formula most coffee shops default to, and pairs particularly well with a straightforward Americano rather than something already sweet.
Coffee Bean Lunch Menu
The lunch menu is smaller than breakfast or bakery, but it covers the core bases well: a classic sandwich, a heartier flatbread option, a simple grilled cheese, and a lower-carb protein box alternative.
Lunch Menu Prices and Calories
| Item | Price | Calories |
| Chicken Salad Sandwich | $6.35 | 440–520 |
| Turkey & Ham Flatbread Club | $6.35 | 480–560 |
| Homestyle Grilled Cheese | $3.95 | 380–440 |
| Bistro Protein Picnic Box | $5.35 | 320–380 |
Building a Balanced Lunch Order
The Turkey & Ham Flatbread Club is the most filling item on the lunch menu by calorie count, closer to a full deli-style sandwich than a light coffee shop bite — a good choice if lunch at Coffee Bean is your main meal of the day rather than a quick snack alongside a drink. The Chicken Salad Sandwich sits close behind it, offering a slightly different flavor profile for anyone who prefers a creamier, less overtly savory sandwich option.
If you’re looking for something lighter or lower-carb, the Bistro Protein Picnic Box stands out as the clear pick — it’s built more like a deconstructed sandwich, with protein and sides served separately rather than stacked between bread, which naturally keeps the calorie count lower than either sandwich option while still delivering a reasonably filling lunch.
The Homestyle Grilled Cheese is the most affordable lunch item and works well as a simpler, kid-friendly option or a smaller midday bite rather than a full meal.
Coffee Bean Snacks & Treats Menu
Beyond the hot food and bakery case, Coffee Bean stocks a rotating selection of grab-and-go packaged snacks near the register — most priced under $4, and several leaning toward better-for-you options compared to standard vending-machine fare.
Snacks Menu Prices
| Item | Category | Price |
| Marshmallow Bar | Healthy Snacks | $2.95 |
| Kind Dark Chocolate Nuts & Sea Salt Bar | Healthy Snacks | $2.95 |
| SkinnyPop White Cheddar Popcorn | Healthy Snacks | $2.35 |
| Siete Potato Chips — Chipotle BBQ | Healthy Snacks | $2.95 |
| Siete Potato Chips — Sea Salt | Healthy Snacks | $2.95 |
| Hippeas White Cheddar | Healthy Snacks | $3.35 |
| Milk Chocolate Sea Salt Almonds | Sweet Treats | $2.95 |
| Holiday Decoration Cookie (Seasonal) | Sweet Treats | $2.95 |
Most of these snack items are shelf-stable, which makes them a practical add-on if you’re buying something to take with you rather than eat in the café — a useful option for a longer commute, a flight, or an office snack drawer restock.
Coffee Bean Bottled Beverages
If you’re stopping in but don’t want another coffee or tea drink, Coffee Bean also stocks a small curated cooler of bottled beverages, better suited to pairing with a pastry than any hot drink would be.
Bottled Beverage Prices
| Item | Price |
| Spindrift Raspberry Lime (real-fruit sparkling water) | $2.85 |
| Spindrift Lemon | $2.85 |
| Perrier (French sparkling mineral water) | $2.85 |
| Martinelli’s Apple Juice (100% juice) | $2.65 |
| Organic Valley Chocolate Lowfat Milk | $2.65 |
The sparkling water options in particular are worth knowing about if you’re visiting with someone who wants a caffeine-free option that isn’t a sugary soda — a detail that’s easy to miss since bottled drinks aren’t usually front-of-mind at a coffee shop.
Best Food and Drink Combos
Coffee Bean’s own popularity data highlights a handful of food-and-drink pairings that come up repeatedly in customer ordering patterns:
- Vanilla Latte + Almond Croissant — a smooth, sweet drink paired with a nutty, richer pastry.
- Vietnamese Cold Brew + Blueberry Muffin — strong, sweetened caffeine balanced against a lighter fruity snack.
- Original Mocha Ice Blended® + Chocolate Cake Pop — a fully dessert-style, indulgent combo.
- Matcha Latte + Yogurt Parfait — a genuinely lighter, more balanced breakfast pairing.
- Americano + Butter Croissant — the classic, no-frills coffeehouse combination.
These combos typically land in the $6.50–$10.50 range total, depending on drink size and which pastry or food item you pair it with.
How Coffee Bean’s Food Menu Compares to Starbucks
For context, it’s useful to see how Coffee Bean’s food lineup stacks up against the most obvious point of comparison:
- Starbucks generally offers a wider overall food selection and more frequent seasonal food rotation, given its larger scale and broader supply chain.
- Coffee Bean’s bakery case leans more specifically toward French-style pastries (multiple croissant variations) rather than the wider muffin-and-cake-pop-heavy assortment typical of larger chains.
- Coffee Bean’s breakfast burritos are a notable point of differentiation — a heartier, more protein-forward option than the egg bites or wraps that dominate many competitors’ breakfast cases.
Neither chain is a clear universal winner here — it largely comes down to whether you prioritize breadth of options (an edge for larger chains) or a more focused, protein-and-pastry-forward lineup, which is where Coffee Bean’s food menu tends to stand out.
Ordering Food Ahead of Time
If you know exactly what you want before you arrive, Coffee Bean supports a few different ways to skip waiting on food items specifically:
- Mobile app ordering typically lets you browse the full food menu alongside drinks, so you can pair a pastry or breakfast item with your order and pick everything up together.
- Online ordering through coffeebean.olo.com covers both pickup and delivery in supported markets, useful if you’re ordering food for a group rather than just yourself.
- Third-party delivery apps (Grubhub, Uber Eats, DoorDash) also carry the food menu in most markets, though minimum order requirements and delivery fees apply on top of standard menu pricing.
One practical note: bakery items in particular sell out earlier in the day at busier locations, since the case isn’t restocked continuously throughout a shift. If you have your heart set on a specific pastry, an early visit — or an early mobile order — meaningfully improves your odds compared to stopping by mid-afternoon.
Java To Go: Food and Catering for Groups
Beyond individual food items, Coffee Bean also runs a catering-style program aimed at group orders, which is worth knowing about if you’re organizing a meeting, office event, or family gathering rather than just grabbing food for yourself.
Java To Go Catering Options
| Catering Option | Serves | Price |
| Java To Go — Coffee | ~8–10 people | $21.95 |
| Java To Go — Tea | ~8–10 people | $21.95 |
| Java To Go — Hot Chocolate | ~8–10 people | $21.95 |
| Cold Brew Growler | Take-home 64 oz | $19.95 |
While this program is centered on beverages rather than food specifically, it’s commonly paired with a bulk bakery order for office meetings or family gatherings, since the boxed drink format is designed to serve a group alongside a shared pastry spread rather than individual food items. If you’re planning a larger event, calling ahead to a specific location to coordinate a combined food-and-beverage order is generally more reliable than assuming a large bakery order can be filled on the spot without advance notice.
Seasonal Rotation on the Food Menu
While the core bakery, breakfast, and lunch items described above tend to stay fairly consistent, Coffee Bean does rotate in seasonal food items periodically, similar to how it rotates seasonal drinks. Past patterns suggest this typically includes:
- Seasonal cookies and bakery items, such as the Holiday Decoration Cookie in the snacks category, tied to specific times of year.
- Limited-time breakfast or lunch specials, which appear less frequently than seasonal drinks but do show up periodically, particularly around major holidays.
- Regional menu variations, where certain food items may only be available at specific locations based on local supplier relationships or regional taste preferences.
If a specific seasonal item you’ve had before isn’t currently available, it’s worth asking staff whether it’s expected to return, since many seasonal items are recurring annual favorites rather than true one-time releases.
Dietary Considerations on the Food Menu
A few practical notes if you’re ordering with specific dietary preferences in mind:
- Vegetarian options are available across the bakery case, most breakfast items excluding the meat-based burritos, and the Homestyle Grilled Cheese.
- Lower-calorie choices cluster around the cake pops, yogurt parfait, and Modern Oats, all landing under roughly 320 calories.
- Higher-protein options center on the breakfast burritos and the Bistro Protein Picnic Box, which are built specifically around protein content rather than being an incidental side effect of the recipe.
- Allergen information for milk, soy, tree nuts, and wheat is generally available through Coffee Bean’s official nutrition guide, since several bakery and breakfast items contain one or more of these common allergens — checking directly with in-store staff or the official nutrition sheet is the most reliable way to confirm specifics for any individual dietary restriction.

Final Thoughts

Whether you’re after a light, low-calorie pairing for your afternoon Ice Blended® or a full, protein-packed breakfast before a busy morning, there’s a genuinely wider range of options here than the typical single-category coffee shop food case. As always, confirming current pricing and availability with your specific location is the safest bet, since food menu items especially seasonal bakery selections can shift more frequently than the core drink menu.
