    Cute bathroom decor!
    Vivian Z.

    I'm rarely in SJ but decided to ride with hubby to work today, and found this cafe a few minutes away! I wanted a cute and cozy spot to do some work, and this was exactly what I found. First thing I noticed and loved was that there were a ton of plants, and lots of decorations catered to anime, superhero's, and games. There were some arcade games which was cute, and a fish tank (that definitely needs to be cleaned). I came here because I noticed some cool latte flavors, like Pho and Miso??? Unfortunate I was too chicken to try it, so I ended up getting the black sesame latte (half sweet) due to popular reviews. Service was straight forward and quick, not too much interaction. I asked for wifi because I had zero reception and they gave me a tiny slip of paper with a code on it, which only worked for 1 device for a designated 2 hours. Weird but fine, the wifi worked well. My drink was decent as well, the sesame flavor wasn't as pronounced as I would have liked, but the latte art was beautiful! My hubby joined me during his lunch break and ordered a red velvet latte to go, and I liked that one better. Overall I had a good experience and found what I was hoping for, so I would come back!

    Came here on a weekday morning for a quick coffee pick up! Very cute store, not too crowded, clean and friendly staff. I got the cappuccino and was quite pleased with it. Coffee was very well made. I'd like to come in again to try some of their other specialty coffees

    Nice spot in Cupertino -- excellent coffee, modern relaxed vibe, and friendly staff. The pour-over and cold brew are both top-notch.

    Interesting coffee shop with many interesting coffee me up like miso latte and pho latte. The interior is unique with a lot of action figure, plant and old arcade machine. It has limited pastries choices. One worker is friendly. One Miso latte is interesting. It has saltiness but cannot taste the miso. I like the arcade machine. The price is reasonable.

    Black Sesame latte

    Update.... Today was a great visit!! I swung in to grab two lattes on my way to meet a friend for a hike and the worker was fantastic - chatty, friendly and super pleasant The shop was quiet at 815 on a foggy Sunday morning, would have been great to sit and read with my latte I asked for extra hot and it was perfect!!

    Red velvet latte
    Ankitha D.

    Came here on a Sunday afternoon with a friend to grab coffee. The ambiance inside is cool and inviting, with amazing decor around. I ordered the red velvet latte with oat milk, the barista ensured it wouldn't be too sweet, they made the drinks pretty quick and they tasted good! I was hoping to try some of their dessert but they seemed to have ran out of their bakery items by the time I made it. But I would still come back for the latte! Cute spot for a nice hang.

    Lavender Latte
    Kelsey S.

    I hadn't been here in years and decided to get a coffee since I was in the area. From what I had remembered the coffee was okay, but the owner/worker wasn't super friendly. I walked in and immediately recognized the worker and his attitude. In the short 5 minutes I was there, he was rude to two different people. He also doesn't bother greeting or thanking his customers. Anyways, I ordered an iced lavender latte and it was... okay. Flavor was decent but the drink was tiny for 7 dollars. Honestly, you can find better coffee and service elsewhere!

    Cute cafe with unique drink items! Located in a plaza so it was easy to find parking. The interior was cute, with an arcade game and some seating. Ordered the red bean matcha, red velvet latte, and hazelnut chocolate mousse. The matcha and red bean were light in flavor and the red velvet mainly had a coffee taste. The latte art was pretty. The mousse was good, but gets very chocolatey and sweet as you eat it. I liked the interior and decorations around! There were tables to sit by and a couch area.

    Black sesame latte was delicious with oat milk! Just one barista when I went on a weekday afternoon (I think it was the owner) and they whipped up my drink quickly. Heads up, they don't do personal cups. I usually bring my own to keep my hot drinks hot even when I dine in since I'm guilty of babysitting my drinks-but no biggie since my latte was so good I finished it up quicker than I normally would. Plenty of parking both in front of the shop and I think there's a garage. The vibes inside were very cozy today near the window as it drizzled. I liked the decor and took some moments to admire the walls of art and the huge plant near the door. I'd come back to try some other things.

    Cute little coffee shop with enough tables for you to work. They have a lot of Asian based flavored drinks, which was really cool. Got the black sesame latte and it was good. Only thing I didn't like was that they had horrible reception. They offered free wifi but it was only for one device, so I was connected on my laptop, but my phone was basically a brick.

    There's plenty of parking around and plenty of seating. Drinks are great. Highly recommended coming here. :) Heads up: If you're here to study, you are given a code upon drink purchase. It's for 2 hours and for 1 device only! Black Sesame Oat Milk Latte 5/5: Very good, not too sweet and strong sesame flavor. What really impressed me was that the oat milk was foamed quite well! The way cow milk vs oat milk is foams is slightly different and most of the time, the oat milk gets over foamed and ends up with lots of bubbles which disrupts the smooth texture of the latte. This cafe did a great job with the latte and I can't wait to try out more of their drinks! Service: Fast! Ambiance: This cafe is one of the few places left where they encourage you to lounge and chat. It's cozy with tons of places to sit and even more knick knacks to spot. And with drinks that are that fantastic, it's definitely a place to visit over and over again.

    yuzu matcha and breakfast sandwich
    Angel L.

    I got the yuzu matcha and breakfast sandwich! I liked the yuzu matcha a lot! Both flavors were present, and neither one overpowered the other. The sandwich was pretty decent, but nothing too special. There's a decent amount of seating and the playlist was great. It is a little expensive for the serving size, especially the tiny drink, but it was definitely worth trying.

    Employees are not very friendly, and my latte was overly milky. The ambiance is cool but would be better with a friendlier atmosphere.

    Ask the Community - Bitter Sweet

    Are there outlets available for customers?

    Yes! But not a lot...

    When are the busy hours?

    I don't go during the weekdays. But it is decently busy in the afternoon and early evening on weekends.

    Are there lots of outlets?

    I believe there is an outlet in the couch area. There is one outlet at another corner where all the tables are with a power strip. I suggest bringing your own extension if possible too in case your seat is too far from the power strip.

    Is there a huge comfy couch in this coffe shop?

    Yes they do.

We also noticed that the jelly seemed much more watery than we expected. The store itself was very warm during our visit, the bathroom was out of service, and the cashier wasn't particularly friendly. Unfortunately, based on our experience, we don't think we'll be returning.

I ordered the Yumberry Yogurt Drink, Peach Gum Drink, and Grape Yogurt Drink. I got all of them at 30% sweetness, and they were still pretty sweet, so I'd recommend ordering them with even less sugar if you prefer drinks that aren't overly sweet. Even though they're always busy with orders, it wasn't crowded inside. I was able to find a seat since most people just grab their drinks and leave. The drinks are very fruit-forward and taste incredibly fresh and high quality. If you enjoy fruity drinks, this place is definitely worth trying. My favorite was the Yumberry Yogurt Drink because it was so unique--I've never had anything quite like it before. It reminded me a bit of a mulberry drink with a creamy yogurt twist, and I'd definitely order it again.

However, we had a specific taste profile in mind and asked if they could custom make the samples for us - they said yes without hesitation and didn't charge us extra! The samples were delicious and the pickup process was easy. We went with a ribbon cake (chocolate and vanilla) with fresh strawberries, whipped cream filling, and vanilla buttercream frosting.
