This doesn’t happen very often… It appears that the Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf has closed its popular free-standing location at 1500 Westwood Blvd. I’m not sure what happened, but there is construction going on at the location. We’ll have to wait and see…

I believe this is the first store in CBTL history, right? I may be mistaken.
No, but close – the original location was in Brentwood.
They lost their lease, employees said.
Was hoping it was a remodel but it does appear they are not returning to the space. I drive by on my way to work so if I see what’s going in, will let everyone know. Sorry to see this one go.
The article says that it ‘doesn’t happen often’, referring to a Coffee Bean location closing. This article was post in August, but in May less that 3 months prior, Coffee Bean closed their Studio City location. So how can they say two closers in under 3 months is not often? Just a though.
