The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf Holiday Specials 2020
It’s the most wonderful time of the year again (and what a journey it was to get to this point this year!). We all definitely deserve a treat to wrap up this arduous year.
The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf®(CB&TL) has just what we all need, which is to take a little trip into the fantasy world of Alice in Wonderland with their festive themed treats (since we can’t actually take a proper trip anywhere, right?).

You can order a personalised Winter Wonderland gingerbread centrepiece (RM250.00 for 3kg) and pair it with Hatter’s Winter Log (RM 13.95 per slice, RM139.90 for a whole cake) or Cheshire’s Cherry Bundt (RM 8.90 per slice, RM52.00 for a loaf), or even a Stollen of Hearts (RM 6.90 per slice, RM48.00 for a loaf).
Don’t forget about The Red Queen (RM12.95 each), a luscious pastry filled with caramel, coffee and chocolate mousse concealed under a rich red crust of almond chocolate.
If you’re looking for whole Holiday cakes, try the Minted Ever After (RM 7.90 per cupcake, RM 50 per petite cake, RM139.90 for a whole cake), a decadent concoction of dark chocolate and mint topped with cream, fresh redcurrants and rosemary, or Velveteen’s Wish (RM 12.95 per slice, RM129.30 for a whole cake), a red velvet cake topped with crunchy cookie bits and cheese mousse.

If you’re looking to be the hostess with the mostest, then just go for Alice’s Tea Party (RM109 for 20 pieces), a selection of bite-sized treats of Hatter’s Winter Log, Jolly Breadman, Tweedle Tart and Minted Ever After. Top-up as needed with Jolly Breadman (RM7.90 per piece) or Once Upon A Door butter cookies (RM9.90 per piece).

In line with the season of giving, CB&TL’s popular Gift Tags return with new designs, with proceeds going towards the Caring Cup initiative. This year, the beneficiary is the Assunta Integrated Social Services programme by ASSUNTA Hospital, to help raise funds for equipment upgrades and essential supplies for their new mobile clinic. With the added support, they will continue to provide much-needed medical and healthcare assistance to marginalised groups.
Show your support to CBTL this festive season by dropping by one of their outlets and don’t forget to mask up and stay sanitised.
