Coffee Bean Ice Blended® Drinks Menu

What Makes Ice Blended® Drinks Special?
Coffee Bean uses fresh espresso in all Ice Blended® drinks, setting them apart from competitors who often use coffee concentrates or instant espresso. The drinks are blended with pebble ice for a smooth, creamy consistency that's neither too icy nor too thick. Each Ice Blended® is customizable with different milk options, flavor additions, and sweetness levels.
Coffee Bean Kid-Friendly Pure Ice Blended® DrinksNew
Coffee Bean's "Pure" Ice Blended® line was built for guests who love the creamy blended texture without the caffeine kick — perfect for kids, evening treats, or anyone sensitive to coffee. Each Pure variant swaps espresso for pure flavor sauces and milk, keeping the signature pebble-ice consistency intact.
| Pure Ice Blended® Drink | Small | Medium | Large |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pure Vanilla Ice Blended® | $4.95 | $5.55 | $5.95 |
| Pure Chocolate Ice Blended® | $4.95 | $5.55 | $5.95 |

Parent Pro Tip
Ask baristas for a Kids Size (8 oz) Pure Vanilla or Strawberry Ice Blended® — most cafés will scoop a smaller portion at around $3.50–$3.95, which cuts sugar in half and keeps little hands happy.
Coffee Bean Latte Menu: Hot & Iced Options
Lattes form the backbone of Coffee Bean's espresso menu, featuring Arabica beans sourced from five premier growing regions and roasted individually before blending. This creates a bold, never-bitter espresso that pairs perfectly with steamed or iced milk.
Coffee Bean Layered Iced LattesNew
Layered Iced Lattes are Coffee Bean's Instagram-favorite pour-technique series — flavor syrup settles at the bottom, then chilled milk, then espresso floats on top for a visual gradient that mixes as you stir. Order it unstirred and you get three different sips in one cup.
| Layered Iced Latte | Price | Best Ordered |
|---|---|---|
| Layered Pumpkin Iced Latte | $5.95 | Fall/winter seasonal window |
| Layered Vanilla Iced Latte | $5.65 | Year-round, works with oat milk |
| Layered Matcha Iced Latte | $5.65 | Naturally caffeine-lower option |
How to Order a Layered Latte the Right Way
Ask for it "not stirred, no straw agitation" if you want to photograph the layers first. When you're ready to drink, stir with the straw from the bottom up in a slow spiral for the fullest flavor mix.
Coffee Bean Tastemakers MenuNew
The Tastemakers collection is Coffee Bean's rotating specialty lineup — chef-inspired builds that showcase the brand's 60-year craft heritage. These are the drinks baristas are proudest to hand you, and they tend to sell out fastest in urban locations.
| Tastemakers Drink | Small | Medium | Large |
|---|---|---|---|
| Iced Cereal Milk Tea Latte | $4.95 | $5.45 | $5.75 |
| Vanilla Affogato Ice Blended® drink | $5.95 | $6.55 | $6.95 |
| Caramel Espresso Con Panna | — | $5.85 | — |
| LA Red Eye | $5.15 | $5.15 | — |
What's Actually in a Tastemakers Order?
- Iced Cereal Milk Tea Latte — cereal-infused milk with tea and espresso; tastes exactly like the bowl of milk at the end of a childhood cereal breakfast.
- Vanilla Affogato Ice Blended® — vanilla ice-cream style base with a shot of hot espresso poured tableside-style at the counter.
- Caramel Espresso Con Panna — double shot of LA Espresso topped with caramel and hand-whipped cream cap.
- LA Red Eye — brewed drip coffee spiked with one shot of espresso; Coffee Bean's flagship morning "wake-up" order.
What Are the Seasonal Offerings at Coffee Bean in 2026?
Coffee Bean's 2026 seasonal menu introduces protein-enriched lattes and returning favorites like the Mexican Chocolate series. Seasonal drinks typically rotate every 6–8 weeks, with winter offerings focusing on warming spices and summer menus highlighting refreshing flavors.
2026 Seasonal Drinks
Why Choose Protein Lattes?
The new protein latte line provides 15 grams of protein per serving, making them ideal post-workout drinks or protein-packed breakfast alternatives. These beverages combine Coffee Bean's signature espresso with protein powder, creating a smooth texture without the chalky aftertaste common in protein drinks.
Latest Protein Latte Spec Update Jan 2026
Per Coffee Bean's official winter 2026 press release, each regular-size Protein Latte now delivers a minimum of 20 grams of protein — an upgrade over the earlier 15g formulation. The winter run of Vanilla, Caramel, and Hazelnut Protein Lattes was available January 7 through March 17, 2026, with a lower-sugar variant offered at participating cafés.
Summer 2026 Menu: Coconut Creations & Butterfly Pea TeasLive Now
From June 3 through August 18, Coffee Bean is running its brightest summer LTO (limited-time offer) lineup in years — a coconut-forward drink series paired with vivid blue butterfly pea tea builds. If you visit before Labor Day, these are the four to hunt down before they rotate out.
Coconut Creations
- Iced Coconut Cream Latte — cold LA Espresso layered with cream of coconut and milk over ice
- Iced Coconut Cream Matcha Latte — ceremonial matcha whisked with coconut cream, no coffee
- Coconut Ice Blended® Drink — the signature blended texture built on a coconut-cream base instead of milk
Butterfly Pea Tropical Teas
- Dragonfruit Lychee Butterfly Tea — bright blue butterfly pea flower tea with dragonfruit and lychee syrup
- Coconut Butterfly Tea — butterfly pea tea shaken with coconut water for a lighter, hydrating pour
Daydream Ice Blended® Drink (Limited Return)
The Daydream Ice Blended® is Coffee Bean's most photographed summer drink — a coconut-based blended layered with butterfly pea tea and topped with a dragonfruit lychee cream cap. Available for a short window in late June through early July at participating cafés only; ask baristas if it's still pouring.
Availability Warning
The Coconut Creations and Butterfly Pea drinks are available at participating US cafés only through August 18, 2026. Airport, mall kiosk, and international Coffee Bean locations may not carry the full LTO lineup — check the mobile app before you travel to confirm.
Coffee Bean's Perfect Americano Menu (Permanent Addition)New
Launched nationwide on June 3, 2026, the Perfect Americano menu is Coffee Bean's biggest core-menu update of the year and its answer to the specialty espresso conversation. Every drink in the range is anchored by three shots of premium LA Espresso — a bolder default than the industry-standard two shots — and starts at a market-competitive $4.
| Perfect Americano Build | Base Price | Notable Feature |
|---|---|---|
| Classic Americano | $4.00 | Three shots + hot water, clean espresso showcase |
| Vanilla Americano | $4.75 | Three shots + vanilla syrup, no milk |
| Caramel Americano | $4.75 | Three shots + caramel; darker profile than latte version |
| Hazelnut Americano | $4.75 | Three shots + hazelnut, nutty finish |
| Mocha Americano | $4.75 | Three shots + chocolate, no milk creaminess |
| Dark Chocolate Americano | $4.75 | Deeper cacao note than the standard Mocha |
| Cookie Butter Americano | $4.75 | Three shots + cookie butter syrup |
| White Chocolate Americano | $4.75 | Sweeter finish, softer roast profile |
The Best-Value Move on the Perfect Americano Menu
Upgrade from small to large for just $0.50 extra, and add a splash of Oatly oat milk or almond milk at no charge. That combo gives you a large three-shot Americano with alt milk for $4.50 — cheaper than most oat milk lattes at competing chains.
Coffee Bean Dry Iced AmericanosNew
Dry Iced Americanos are the more concentrated cousin of the iced latte — heavier espresso, minimal water, no milk creaminess. Great for people who want espresso flavor to stay dominant over ice rather than diluting into a smoother drink.
| Dry Iced Americano | Small | Medium | Large |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tiramisu Dry Iced Americano | $5.95 | $6.15 | $6.75 |
| Peppermint Mocha Dry Iced Americano | $5.95 | $6.15 | $6.75 |
| Pumpkin Dry Iced Americano | $5.95 | $6.15 | $6.75 |
| Vanilla Dry Iced Americano | $5.75 | $5.95 | $6.55 |
| Brown Sugar Dry Iced Americano | $5.75 | $5.95 | $6.55 |
| Mocha Dry Iced Americano | $5.75 | $5.95 | $6.55 |
| Hazelnut Dry Iced Americano | $5.75 | $5.95 | $6.55 |
Coffee Bean Flat White MenuNew
The Flat White is Coffee Bean's answer to the Australian-style espresso classic — a smaller-volume, higher-espresso-ratio drink than a latte, finished with velvety microfoam instead of thick foam. Every Flat White at Coffee Bean is built on double LA Espresso.
| Flat White Flavor | Small | Medium | Large |
|---|---|---|---|
| Classic Flat White | $5.55 | $5.95 | $6.55 |
| Vanilla Flat White | $6.55 | $6.95 | $7.55 |
| Caramel Flat White | $6.55 | $6.95 | $7.55 |
| Hazelnut Flat White | $6.55 | $6.95 | $7.55 |
| Mocha Flat White | $6.55 | $6.95 | $7.55 |
| White Chocolate Flat White | $6.55 | $6.95 | $7.55 |
| Dark Chocolate Flat White | $6.55 | $6.95 | $7.55 |
| Cookie Butter Flat White | $6.55 | $6.95 | $7.55 |
Flat White vs. Latte — Quick Decision Rule
Pick a Flat White when you want espresso to dominate and you like your foam thin and silky. Pick a Latte when you want milk to soften the espresso and you like a fluffier foam cap. Same espresso base, different ratios.
Coffee Bean Cold Brew Menu: Bold & Smooth
Coffee Bean's cold brew is steeped for 20 hours to create a smooth, bold flavor with reduced acidity. This slow-brewing process extracts maximum flavor while minimizing bitterness, resulting in a naturally sweet coffee that's perfect over ice.
Cold Brew Options
Cold Brew vs. Iced Coffee: What's the Difference?
Cold Brew is steeped in cold water for 20 hours, creating a smooth, naturally sweet flavor with lower acidity. Iced Coffee is brewed hot then cooled and poured over ice, resulting in a brighter, more acidic taste. Cold brew typically has higher caffeine content due to the extended steeping time.
Coffee Bean Cold Brew Tea MenuNew
Cold Brew Tea is the tea-side twin of Coffee Bean's 20-hour cold-brew coffee process — loose-leaf tea steeped in cold water for hours instead of minutes, which pulls out sweetness while leaving behind the astringent tannins that make hot-brewed tea bitter over ice. Naturally light, refreshing, and low in calories.
| Cold Brew Tea | Small | Medium | Large |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lemonade Cold Brew Tea | $4.45 | $4.65 | $5.15 |
| Mango Cold Brew Tea (Lightened version available) | $4.45 | $4.65 | $5.15 |
Why Cold Brew Tea Is Underrated
Cold Brew Tea has about 60% less caffeine than Coffee Bean's cold brew coffee, virtually zero calories when unsweetened, and never turns bitter as the ice melts. It's the most overlooked drink on the whole menu — try the Mango Cold Brew Tea as your first order.
Coffee Bean Tea Menu: Premium Selections
The "Tea Leaf" in Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf isn't just for show. The menu features premium loose-leaf teas from around the world, available hot or iced, including black teas, green teas, herbal infusions, and specialty tea lattes.

|---|---|---|---|
| Hot Chocolate | $3.85 | $4.35 | $4.55 |
| Hot Chocolate — Dark | $3.85 | $4.35 | $4.55 |

Java To Go & Catering: Coffee Bean for GroupsNew
Hosting a meeting, family brunch, or office training? Coffee Bean's Java To Go program lets you order coffee, tea, or cold brew by the box or growler with cups, milk, and sweeteners included. Each box serves roughly 8–10 people, making it the cheapest way to caffeinate a room.

Best Value Catering Move

Traveling Outside the West Coast?
If you can't find a Coffee Bean nearby, the brand also runs a strong bottled and canned ready-to-drink line at Target, Walmart, and Amazon (Vietnamese Cold Brew and Original Mocha Ice Blended® variants), plus retail packs of whole-bean coffee at coffeebean.com. It's not the café experience — but it's the closest you'll get outside California.
A 60-Year Legacy: The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf StoryNew
Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf opened its first store in 1963 on Sunset Boulevard in Brentwood, Los Angeles — eight years before Starbucks. Herbert B. Hyman, the founder, imported hand-selected coffee beans from around the world and roasted them in small batches on-site. Customers came in to smell the beans, taste them, and buy them by the pound long before drip coffee dominated American café culture.
The turning point came in 1987, when a Westwood location barista blended espresso, chocolate, ice, and milk into what would become The Original Ice Blended® drink — years before Starbucks introduced the Frappuccino. That single invention transformed Coffee Bean into a Southern California cultural landmark and set the template for blended coffee drinks industry-wide.
Today the chain operates 1,200+ locations across 24+ international markets, still using Arabica beans from five premier growing regions and still finishing every Ice Blended® with fresh espresso rather than concentrate — the same craft the brand has held for six decades.
Coffee Bean Under Jollibee Ownership (2019–Present)
In 2019, Jollibee Foods Corporation (JFC), the Philippines-based restaurant giant, acquired The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf in a US$350 million deal — its largest and most multinational acquisition at that point. Under Jollibee, Coffee Bean has expanded international franchising and reinvested in premium menu development, including the 2026 Perfect Americano relaunch and the Protein Latte line. The chain's US headquarters remains in Los Angeles, and its handcrafted café DNA hasn't shifted despite the change in ownership.
