World Kindness Day: SoCal Coffee Bean Stores To Offer Free Drinks

BRENTWOOD, CA — The Brentwood Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf located at San Vicente Boulevard and Barrington Avenue will offer free drinks up to $15 per beverage tab on a first-come, first-served basis on World Kindness Day on Friday.

Wescom Credit Union is picking up the tab at select Coffee Bean locations across Los Angeles, Orange, Ventura, Riverside and San Bernardino counties for the third year in a row.

“For many Southern Californians, 2020 has been a ‘challenging’ year and we’re looking forward to sharing a bit of #WescomKindess with local residents, at a time when they might need it most,” said Tamar Atamian, vice president, marketing, Wescom. “However you like to start your day—coffee or tea—receiving a small act of kindness can set a positive tone for the day ahead.”

The first-come, first-served drinks will begin the moment the doors open in the morning until $2,000 worth of bills are paid at each of the 22 participating The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf® locations. For the list of stores, visit wescom.org/cbtl.

“We’re pleased to partner with Wescom Credit Union again this year to show guests some added kindness on World Kindness Day,” said Christy Smith, director of marketing, The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf®. “Even something as simple as a free cup of coffee can create so much joy in today’s climate and we are happy to be a part of spreading positivity across Southern California.”

Other participating locations include Baldwin Park, Brentwood, Long Beach and Pasadena. The list of the 22 participating locations is here.
