Beloved coffee brand and Starbucks rival launches new mid-summer menu created with a 'budget in mind

A COFFEE brand has launched a new menu that's budget friendly for the summer.

This applies to one of Starbucks' rivals, The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, which has more than 130 stores in the US and over 1,000 globally.

The Southern California-based chain has revealed what it's calling an Everyday Essentials Menu, which now includes deals on existing items that will rotate seasonally, according to the company.

"The new menu created with a budget in mind features breakfast bundles, a selection of rotating premium coffees and teas, along with food items that are thoughtfully priced to make everyday indulgence accessible," The Coffee Bean said in a statement.

The beverage and food chain is dividing up the menu into three categories: breakfast bundle, $3 menu, and $4 menu.

Under the breakfast bundle, customers can order a small brewed coffee along with a bagel with cream cheese for $5.

While prices can vary by location, these items normally cost $6.70 in total if ordered separately.

For the $4 menu, you can order either a Coffee Café, Iced Coffee, or a Hibiscus Berry Sunrise in regular sizes for that price.

The special offer will apply to vanilla and mocha coffee options – other flavors will cost $4.75.

Also, customers get the option of picking any two for $6.

And the $3 menu will apply to one of the following options of your choice: brewed coffee, tea (hot or iced), and a plain bagel with cream cheese.

The two for $6 offer will also apply to the $3 menu as well.

TWO NEW ITEMS

But The Coffee Bean isn't stopping there with only its budget menu.

It has also launched two new items.

One includes the Aloha Cream Cold Brew Coffee, which The Cofee Bean describes as being "steeped for 20 hours."

The drink comes with white chocolate macadamia sauce and a sweet cream cap.

It costs $5.75 for a regular or $6.45 for a large size.

Also, The Coffee Bean has launched the Peach Cobbler Cold Brew Tea, which includes cardamom syrup, and peach jasmine cold brew.

It's also finished with a cream cap and the prices are listed as the same as the Aloha Cream Cold Brew Coffee.

The two new items will be available to order through August 15.
