Coffee Bean goes halal


It was some months ago that Linda told me a friend of hers, an employee at Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf mentioned the café getting THE cert anytime soon. Months whizzed pass yet no news of – until the 24th of May. Tucked neatly as the front page highlights, Berita Harian announced all 41 outlets obtaining the Muslim “go-ahead-and-feast” stamp, with 2 more outlets at Downtown East and Ogilvy Centre on the way.


Read it to believe it!

Its Project Manager overseeing the process of the halal certification stated that the bid to go halal had been made 3 to 4 years back but was put on hold, while waiting for the coffee distributors in the US of A to obtain a halal certification from their side, that is Ifanca. The cakes (delectable I might add), he added, were not a problem as they do not contain alcohol since 4 years ago.


And get this, Coffee Bean is the actual pioneer behind the clever concept of ice-blended drink, only the rave in any café. And don’t miss out on online orders of myriad cakes and party packs from Chocolate Strawberries In A Box & Cheesecake Sampler to Mini Pizzas & Quiches.












I guess now I can have that chicken sandwich to accompany my mocha frappe and cranberry muffin. Cheers.
