I’ve been reporting on the closure of many local The Coffee Bean & Tea Leafs in recent years.  All the closures seemed to be a pattern and I was afraid that that didn’t bode well for the java franchise.  But lo and behold, a brand new CBTL is moving into the old deli space in the medical building at 2021 Santa Monica Blvd (corner of 20th St.).  Could this begin a refresh for the storied SoCal coffee chain?
