Even the to-go packaging was really unique. Overall, great food, service, and atmosphere. Definitely one of my favorite restaurant experiences in the San Jose area!

They have a bunch of different coffees and matcha drinks, and lots of breakfast options! You order at the counter once the hostess finds you a table and then the cashier gives you a table number for you to put at your table. I think this makes everything go faster since they just have to bring your food to your table. The breakfast sandwiches were really good and loaded with lots of ingredients and very flavorful! The lattes were good , but the cherry matcha latte was very good!! You could taste the hint of cherry in it! They have a lot of seasonal drinks that are on the menu in front of the register as well! Clearly, this place is very popular, seeing as the line never died down the whole time we were there!

I've ordered it here multiple times to give them the benefit of the doubt, but each time it has been sour. If you're looking to sit down and get some work done, definitely come earlier in the morning, because the place gets packed fast around 11am/12pm. There's a lot of foot traffic, especially since Trader Joe's and Costco is right there.

The staff was also super polite and welcoming. That said, the drinks were a bit of a mixed bag. I ordered the orange cardamom latte for myself and a pistachio latte for my husband. The orange cardamom latte was honestly pretty underwhelming. Instead of a bright, zesty citrus note, it came across as purely linear and sour. Mix that sourness with whole milk, and it just didn't taste right or appetizing at all, and the cardamom was way too subtle to save it. On the other hand, the pistachio latte was actually really delicious. The only catch? It didn't taste like pistachio at all. It was very vanilla-forward instead. So while it was a great cup of coffee, missing the actual featured flavor was a bit of a letdown. Great vibe, sweet staff, and nice outdoor seating, but the specialty flavors could definitely use some tweaking.

I went with the ube coffee with almond milk. The ube base was a little too sweet for my taste, but once everything was mixed together, the overall sweetness actually balanced out pretty nicely. The espresso also packs a punch -- you get 2 shots with your coffee order, so no complaints there. ‍ The ambience is definitely a highlight. The space is super cute and spacious, and they even have this mini staircase seating area that would be perfect for hanging out with friends. It also has plenty of room for a work-from-café situation The only downside was the service, which felt a bit slow for my liking. That said, they did give customers a heads-up that half of their espresso machine was under maintenance, so I'll give them some grace on that one! Overall: 3.5/5 Giving them an extra +0.5 just for the ambience because the space is genuinely adorable. I'd definitely come back to try their pastries and açaí bowl next time!

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 could taste the quality for sure. Their milk teas by default use their non-dairy creamer but you can choose to sub out for oat or soy milk, which is what I usually do. Shop itself was small with a few people working on their laptops inside. Overall, a quick and reliable stop to get good quality boba.

VERY happy and excited to find another great coffee place in close proximity to my own neighborhood. I'd actually been to this location twice to visit previous (failing) coffee houses. However, heard recently that this one was back in business (sorry if it took me a long time to figure that out). Anyway... If you'll check out some of my other reviews, you'll see that I'm pretty big on coffee in general. This place not only prepares excellent coffee drinks (they take it seriously), but THERE IS ALSO AN ONSITE BAKERY in the same location. I've seen others complain that this is confusing. REALLY? What's confusing?? :-). Coffee on one side, and baking on another, and the two definitely seem to get along VERY nicely. OK - enough rambling. This place is worth a stop. Multiple stops, actually (I've been twice in two days now, and will be going again often, I'm sure). Nice atmosphere. Friendly people. EXCELLENT Latte's, and a WIDE assortment of very FRESH baked goods. What's not to like? Haven't tried the wifi yet, but have only stopped in on my way to work. I'll make time over the weekend to stop in and sit on a couch, or at a table to get some extra work done. Check it out. read more

The staff here is incredibly friendly and welcoming! Unfortunately, my experience with the order wasn't as great. I attempted to order a Mexican Mocha but received two iced Cinnamon Twists instead (even though I only ordered one). Despite repeating my order three times, it still came out wrong. The drinks tasted more like milk with a hint of cinnamon powder, which was disappointing. For $16.50, I got two iced drinks and a slice of pumpkin bread, which left me questioning if it was worth it. Not sure if I'd return, but the staff's kindness was a highlight! read more
