Free WiFi at Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf
Get free WiFi at most Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf stores, no purchase necessary. The company is rolling out Internet hookups at 171 stores in the U.S. to attract more customers and because they realize people want to be connected 24/7.
Virtually all stores in CA, AZ and NV (but not kiosks) should have them by the end of the month, a PR rep tells me. The number of hours you can use their WiFi connection is not limited and you don't need to create an online account to get free access.
To find a Coffee Bean with free WiFi near you, visit their store locator page, enter your location and check the WiFI box.

That is great news, Julia.
I've been experimenting with the free Wi-Fi at Starbucks, and for that service you need to:
a) Have a Starbucks "gift" card, which has to have been used in the past month.
b) That gift card needs to be registered with the Starbucks.com Web site, where you pick a user name and password
c) Then you need to sign up with AT&T Wi-Fi, where you select an ADDITIONAL user name and password.
It looks like the Coffee Bean Wi-Fi will be regular ol' Wi-Fi -- it'll let anybody connect without having to screw around with gift cards, AT&T or any of that.
thanks Julia! I love that place! Everyone's so nice and I enjoy walking right past Starbucks with their overflowing trash cans, long lines and dirty bathrooms. One more reason to keep going to coffee bean:))
Go Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf!!! They have the best coffee anyway, and I have always tried to avoid Starbucks at all cost. Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf truly knows how to treat their customers right!
Nice! BTW: you can also use ATT wifi at Starbucks (and 17,000 other such sites) if you subscribe to their UVerse service, which I am having installed next week.
Now if only we can get it in MY favorite coffee establishment ... Petes!
