I have never had their avocado latte before, but got it 50% sweet, less ice.The avocado added a nice creaminess in it with a subtle hint of avocado that wasn't overpowering for the drink.

Flavors are always the same when I get this drink which is nice.

Occasionally burnt espresso but I love them too much to mind. I am a matcha snob to say the LEAST. Hands down best coffee shop matcha in the Bay Area. The classic iced matcha latte with honey is grassy and earthy and creamy and a little sweet. The iced banana pudding matcha latte had people lined up around the corner for months when it came out. It is deliciously worth the wait. Best banana cold foam in my opinion because it's made with actual bananas instead of flavoring so it's much more mellow. The double matcha they had for awhile is also awesome. Banana cold foam also goes great on an espresso latte. Now they let you add whichever cold foam you like to whatever drink which is great. Basically you can't go wrong. They are always changing up the menu for the new season and have lots of unique drinks on their menu. Not much seating inside at this location. The winchester Blvd one has more if that's what you're looking for. Their pastries are also all yummy and they sell their matcha powder for $60 for 100g which is a GREAT price for a great matcha. I would've gate kept this place but everyone already knows about it so I HAVE to show them the love they deserve!!

I liked the hojicha the most but all drinks were good. Banana matcha was creamy and sweet. Vanilla cold brew was yummy and vanilla was not too overpowering. Would come again to try their pastries, they were allllll out. Order: 1 Matcha Banana Cream $8.50 1 Hojicha Banana Cream $8.50 1 Madagascar Vanilla Cold Brew $5.50

The Matcha taste is really good and I like how they add sweet cream on top. The amount of ice was not excessive at all, I appreciated that.

Since the egg cream is already salty, I don't think it needs to have shredded pork floss on top. The sweet corn cake is a really nice dessert. There are lots of tables for studying and hanging out.

The mango matcha just tasted like mango juice, and the honey date latte was mediocre at best. I honestly enjoy coming here to study, but drinks are not worth it so far. I'll give them a chance again for drinks, but my best recommendation is to work on their recipe to make it more tastier and enjoyable to drink.

This is one of the sketchiest 7-11's that I've ever been to, and the crazy thing is, it's located literally a block away from San Jose State, and cops visit this spot on a regular basis, yet shady characters are always lurking around this store. Let's not talk about the three days of stomach pains that were caused by the sup-par chili & cheese nachos. And let's not bring up the puking that the caused by consuming sushi after a long night I spent with Mr. Jack Daniels. The fact that tweekers loom outside of the store, twitching and convulsing (as if they were about to O.D. ) is the primary reason I avoid this 7-11. Come on SJPD, it's time to clean this place up. It's been like this for YEARS! read more

I started coming here because I have a work study nearby campus. There's a couple guys that work there and they have terrible behavior. They snicker at me and yell at each other in another language when I'm leaving and it makes me feel gross. The food situation is terrible. Very dirty and nothing is cleaned there. I saw them being really rude to customers a couple times. Abdullah H has written a lot of fair reviews and posted his last Sept. Sadly, I agree with his negative posting exactly. THIS IS A HORRIBLE PLACE. read more

SKETCH! And to go along with the crackhead standing outside the door looking for change... I find myself addicted to the Jalapeno Cream Cheese Go-Go Taquito. God, what a low point in my life. The guy tonight didn't enjoy his job. But hey, I can count a smile I've gotten from any 7-11 ever, on one hand. Oh well, do you come to 7-11 for smiles? You probably do because you are drunk (depending...) and you need something of convenience. Count your eggs, darling. read more
