    Iced Nola
    Rayna T.

    Decided to give them another try and I'm happy that I did. I ordered their iced Nola, and it was so good. It had a nice strong flavor with a little touch of sweetness. They also have seating in front, so it's the perfect spot to grab some coffee and hangout for a bit.

    Smooth matcha at a prime location in Santana Row with lots of beautiful outdoor seating. Lines are long, even outside of what seems to be lulls in the day. Not sure if I would wait in line again unless I had nothing better so do.

    Blue bottle coffee in the mall?! What could be wrong? Well it's still nice coffee, but for their premium price I was expecting their typical fresh stuff that other locations have. Unfortunately if you have sharp eyes like I do, you'll notice they expressly say on the top right of their menu that they're using their instant coffee at this location. Coffee snobs might be the only type to notice but the aroma is noticeably cut by the shift. In the spirit of trying it out anyway, I got a latte and iced nola to see how big of a difference it is and for me at least it's enough that I'd stick to the santana row spot. Both were aromatic, but not that wonderful depth to it that had me hooked to begin with. Nice and smooth at least since the latte had the foamer and all, but otherwise just okay.

    Yuzu Lavender Iced Latte
    Amy T.

    Always wanted to try Blue Bottle and came across the booth inside the mall at Valley Fair. This review is for the Yuzu Lavender Iced Latte. The flavors are very subtle and the lavender definitely stands out a bit more than the yuzu. Coffee is pretty weak and overpriced here, ~$9 for a 12 oz latte.

    Good coffee, though not the best I've had. I ordered the mocha and appreciated that it wasn't overly sweet--you could really taste the dark chocolate--but the coffee flavor itself was a bit too mild for my taste. The vanilla chicory ended up being my favorite, though it also had a lighter coffee profile. The latte with orange and chocolate notes was quite subtle, and those flavors didn't come through strongly. Overall, it's a beautiful location with solid coffee, but it's on the pricey side and there's often a long line at Santana Row.

    Amazing coffee as always and this location is great especially when you shop and want a little coffee break Iced Nola coffee is my favorite They also have pastries Service was fast as well Ambience was great, fun and cute design

    2nd floor...

    2nd floor location...oversized stall with a few tables to sit and sip...not as crowded as the santana row location, but deep inside the mall with a maze to deal with for parking...only go if already in the mall for something else...good place to grab a coffee drink while shopping...

    I LOVE this location of Blue Bottle! It is right in the middle of Valley Fair Mall. I was sooo happy when I saw they were open! Service was better here than on the Row side. Their iced Nola coffee is SO delicious! It's a perfect balance of their delicious coffee with creamy oatmilk. Upon my first sip, I felt like I was in coffee heaven. Blue Bottle is probably my favorite coffee. Love that they also have tables & chairs right in front of the coffee stand - so you can sit down & enjoy it. Or catch up with friends, etc. I really want to try their iced matcha latte next. Service was good when I ordered. Cashier was friendly, and the barista made my drink fairly quickly then handed it to me. Perfect for a pick me up while shopping. Yummy! Caffeine bliss :)

    This Blue Bottle just opened not too long ago. Whenever I pass by on weekend mornings, it's usually not too busy. I tried the Fall Latte and really liked the flavor. Even though it's just a kiosk in the middle of Valley Fair Mall, sitting at the front tables still feels pretty relaxed.

    WHAT A TREAT! I have the constant mind set of TREAT YO SELF (thanks Parks and Rec) but I love to come here for a pick me up! The staff here is always super sweet and give me recommendations when I ask what's new to try! This is visit I got a Fall Latte, which is orange blossom with black cardamom, iced and omgggg a cup of heaven! 100000000 will be having this fall Fall! Ambiance is lovely, often there's music playing at the large tree outside, plentiful seating outside on weekdays. Weekends probably super busy as Santana Row is a tourist location. Locals come here on week days .

    Grabbed an iced latte from the Blue Bottle in the middle of the mall--smooth, refreshing, and just the right balance of espresso and milk. Perfect pick-me-up while shopping. Clean spot with quick service. Always a solid stop!

    ICED MATCHA LAVENDER YUZU LATTE & ICED LAVENDER YUZU LATTE
    Shannon D.

    Spotted the Blue Bottle Coffee kiosk while shopping at Valley Fair Mall. Checked out the menu and decided to try the summer specials - LAVENDER YUZU LATTE & MATCHA LAVENDER YUZU LATTE. We got both of them iced. The line was pretty long but everyone was looking over the menu so I was able to order quick and the drinks were ready in minutes!

    Quick and simple coffee since I always get the Nola iced. Clean and minimal industrial coffee aesthetic. Staffs are super friendly. Hoping they will bring their sandwiches to this location.

    A nice add to the coffee scene in Valley Fair. I am not a coffee person but do enjoy their croissants and matcha tea.

They decorated well with their merchandise and beans. Loved that they explained the coffee bean processing types so that people can see and learn. As usual, all of their baristas are so knowledgeable, kind, they make good coffee :) I got my usual cappuccino with oatmilk today. Definitely will come back to study and enjoy their other coffee!

The staff described it as cold brew with milk and sweetener, which was helpful, but it ended up being way too sweet for me. That might just be how it's supposed to be though, and probably my fault for not choosing something that better reflects their coffee. The space itself is pretty large, with a good amount of seating inside and a few tables outside. There's also a decent amount of parking, and it's in a shared building with a brewery and other businesses. It has a bit of an unfinished warehouse vibe, which honestly makes sense for a coffee roaster. Only real inconvenience was that the restroom is locked, which feels a little odd for such a large coffee shop. Overall I'd still come back, but next time I'll definitely try an espresso based drink instead.

The only critique I have is the music being way too loud at times. It's NOT what type of music is playing, but purely the volume. When it's loud, people talk louder and it can occasionally be a little too loud to focus without headphones. Otherwise, I think I've found my new fav local coffee shop!

It wasn't crazy busy so it was easy to order through one of their two tablets and find a spot to sit. It is very spacious and filled with many tables, so even when busy you'll likely be able to find a spot. The menu is a bit messy to look at--there is a big menu hanging over the kiosks, another posted alongside where a line is formed, then the menu on the tablet kiosks themselves. It's a pretty big menu featuring primarily coffee-based drinks, matcha lattes, and a wide variety of food, so you'll likely find something appealing. I ordered their smoked salmon bagel (which rang up to about $16) and their matcha latte ($8); to be honest, neither were outstanding. The salmon and avocado in the bagel were great, but the bagel itself was a bit stale--for $16, it's a bit hard to swallow. The matcha was very milky, and there is another store offering better matcha drinks in the same plaza. I'll admit, though, it's a little on me for not picking coffee at a spot with "coffee" in the name. I will say, though, that the atmosphere in the main area is pretty good; the decor is understated but comfortable, and the lighting is good. The service is also solid--the servers are friendly and our order came out quickly. I will say that the bathroom feels ominous. Overall, it's a great spot to study; Big Mug is open late, has free Wi-Fi and a bathroom for customers, and offers both food and caffeinated drinks for longer study sessions. I feel that the prices vary widely for items but skew towards being too pricy for the quality, at least from my limited experience. I plan on coming back to give other items a try, but for now, it's not a favorite.
