Sip On $1 Holiday Drinks At Coffee Bean Today

We've made it past hump day, thank goodness, and are in the home stretch towards the weekend. To help get you there, homegrown company Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf is offering up their holiday drinks for just a buck.
Today from 2 p.m. - 6 p.m., customers are invited to enjoy new and returning holiday flavors for $1 in what they're calling their Holiday Open House. You can get a 12 oz. Toffee Nut Latte, Toffee Nut Ice Blended drink, Winter Dream Tea Latte and Red Velvet Hot Cocoa, and all of the proceeds from the sales go to The Help Group, a nonprofit that serves children with special needs here in the States.
The arrival of the Winter Dream is even bigger than all that pumpkin latte business, IMHO. But as we've previously admitted, we have an addiction to CBTL's crack powder, errrr, vanilla powder.
One year ago, Congress voted to defund public media, eliminating a critical $1.7 million from our budget every year going forward. But they couldn’t silence us, and we’re not going anywhere. LAist is now 100% community funded and that means we’re taking our future into our own hands and turning to you to keep local reporting strong.

Instead, we answer to you and our communities. We are free to follow facts wherever they lead and to hold power to account without fear or favor.
