I was disappointed with my experience. The café only offered two milk options--whole milk and oat…read moremilk--which felt quite limited compared to most coffee shops. I ordered the Cookie Butter Latte, but it lacked the sweetness and flavor I expected. The espresso itself was also surprisingly weak; the double shot had very little coffee taste. When I mentioned it, I was offered an additional shot for an extra $2. While I didn't mind paying for it, the drink still fell short and remained underwhelming. For our Cardamom drink, we added Peach cold foam for an extra $1.25 but there seemed to be no foam when served. The space itself is cute and inviting, but if you're looking for a flavorful, well-crafted coffee or a reliable caffeine fix, this probably isn't the place I'd recommend.

Get a brownie. Thank me later…read more Venture Coffee was a bit of a surprise hit for me for a few reasons. I wasn't expecting it to be part of a church, and I certainly wasn't expecting the entire area to be under construction when I arrived haha. Although it was a little tricky to find the entrance due to that construction, it most certainly was worth it. The latte iced latte I ordered was delicious, the space was beautiful, the seating was ample, and the biggest surprise of the whole experience... the brownie might be one of the best I've eaten in my life. I will certainly be coming back. Can't recommend this spot enough.

I'm sure they were rushing to get everyone out of the store so that they could go home. Totally get it! Staff were very sweet, and the shop itself is very cute and cozy. Perfect place for hanging out! The rating mainly goes for the drinks itself...I had ordered the vanilla bean latte and my sister had gotten the matcha. We were both pretty disappointed with the drinks, as the latte barely tasted of coffee or vanilla for that matter. Just tasted like warm milk with a hint of coffee. The matcha was very bitter, no sweetness at all, and had some sort of cream foam on top, which tasted salty. My sister and I ended up throwing out our drinks later. Again, staff were SO sweet!! They handled the rush of last minute customers as well as they could. But for the price we paid for our drinks, we expected something a bit better.

Stopped by the Strait Coffee Roasters booth at the farmers market today. Austin, the roaster, is…read morevery friendly and approachable. He specializes in light-roast, single-origin (often rare) beans. He mainly sells bags of coffee but also serves excellent pour-overs--clean cups with fruit-forward notes. The bean selection was fantastic, spanning what he categorizes as Traditional, Rare, and Exceptional varieties. I picked up a bag of Colombia CGLE -- Las Margaritas Gesha Honey (Rare) and had a single-cup pour-over. Delicious, perfectly roasted coffee with tropical fruit flavors and no bitterness or off‑flavors. I'll definitely be back!

The staff is kind, friendly, and welcoming -- Anya is sweet and attentive, Galina is very responsible and caring, the girl with the gorgeous curly hair is always warm and kind, and Alejandro is always friendly, welcoming, and brings great energy to the place. You can really feel that Elena, the owner, puts her heart into this place -- fresh flowers, beautiful decorations, and a cozy atmosphere that makes it feel special. The food is always fresh and delicious. My favorites are the salmon toast, shakshuka, syrniki, draniki, buckwheat with poached egg and parmesan, and the Basque cheesecake -- all amazing. And the Dirty Dragon is so good too! I'm always happy to come back.

A cute cafe find in Los Gatos! I had a rather mixed…read moreexperience here.. here goes: What I liked: 1. Ambience (think cute, aesthetic, fresh, lot of greenery) 2. bakery items (tried "Napoleon" (a layered puff pastry cake with cream - delicious!) 3. And yes - coffee (tried latte and lavender latte)! Also, they have lots of option for bakery items, I will definitely be visiting again to try more. What I didn't like/could be improved: 1. Raspberry brownie (this was okay-ish, nothing great) 2. The staff: I usually don't give bad reviews/comments unless something is really off-putting. First, the attitude while taking the order was rather rude. Unfortunately, if you are in the restaurant business, greeting customers warmly should be somewhere pretty high up in your job duties. I asked her about the pastry display on the side which had an array of some of the most exquisite pastries and whether I could order from there, she was quite standoffish in her answer, and that really made me not feeling like ordering anything from her. Thankfully, it was another person who handed me my coffee and pastry order that I did end up getting thanks to no help to the previous person. So yes, I loved the coffee, baked goods, ambience but because of my experience with the staff, I will give it a 3/5.

I'm not a huge boba/milk tea fan so I guess take this as a review from someone with pretty…read moresuperficial knowledge. I tried two drinks, a Vietnamese iced coffee made less sweet and a 3/4 sweet peach... peach something. I forget the name, but the menu is small it's the peach one. Both were fantastic. Definitely on the sweet side but not "this is melted ice cream" sweet like I've had at some places. I'd still probably get the peach one 50% next time. The Vietnamese iced coffee was very intensely flavored, had a great texture, and for whatever reason wasn't as hyper-caffeinated as some I'd had. I've had some Vietnamese coffees that made me feel like I was going to bounce off the walls, this was more mellow. But it still has the strong coffee flavor I'm used to. The peach drink was super refreshing, full of peach flavor, but again the level of sugar wasn't cloying at all. And the little chunks of peach added a nice texture to the experience. Again, not an expert on milk tea/boba, but this was probably some of the best I've had, definitely the best I can remember. Inside the shop is a bit spartan but there's seating for a few groups. You order via a kiosk and then someone brings the drinks out to the counter, so it's a bit impersonal. They take credit cards and the parking lot is a little tight.
