I was surprise that I ended up liking the black sesame coffee because I normally don't like anything with sesame seeds. But this gave it such a vibrant nutty taste that wasn't over powering. This is definitely my go to place to study right before finals week. And they have great music taste to whoever's playlist was on yesterday :)

I don't like coffee much, but their purple moon latte was delicious! it was actually almost a bit dessert-like? while this drink was YUMMY (5/5), I didn't love the ambiance of the inside too much. definitely more of a place to meet and catch up with friends than to get any work done. it was both nice and modern but also a bit dinghy? Like there's a hole in one of the walls? it's small, but I think I just expected it to be a bit nicer inside based on pictures I saw. HOWEVER, THIS IS ME NITPICKING. generally, this is a cute cafe with an interesting menu, accommodating staff, yummy drinks, and a cool claw machine! just not necessarily aesthetic study vibes

It is the perfect amount of sweetness and the barista's are very consistent in making the drink. The inside is small but cozy, refreshing to be in after all the new coffee shops are super modern. They have three bigger tables that you can work at, as well as a skinny long table in the back. I love to come here to get my work done with some good coffee, as I will never be disappointed in finding a seat or having a bad experience. They also have good food, I have tried their salmon and avocado toast. Both are good and filling. They also have yummy pastries that usually sell out in the morning. Thank you barefoot for being my comfort cafe!

When my turn came up the barista was short tempered with me for not knowing what sizes the drink came in promptly when those options weren't displayed anywhere on the menu or table (note: what's shown on their menu is price for 8 oz hot and 16 oz iced, but not what the sizes are for hot). Then as she was making the drink, she had mine sitting at the counter for a good few minutes without calling my name because she was busy chatting it up with a customer, handing him a note, talking about travel plans, etc. When I asked where my drink was and that I had been waiting for a while the other barista proceeded to say that they've just been busy. No, barista making my drink was just not serving each customer kindly and equally. I've come here for years and have had good experiences, but based on my last visit, I'd come back for the quality coffee but not with a high expectation for the service and if I had a lot of time between grabbing coffee and the next thing - I was here for over 20 mins before I got my drink

She said it was a tad bitter, but I think that's just because the place she normally goes to puts simple syrup in it? We need to ask them their input next time, but she still said it was really good quality and a very generous serving. I also paired my cappuccino with a scone with cranberry raisins. It was pretty good. Ambience is really nice and my daughter even agreed it's one of the nicer settings. However, getting seating is very challenging and parking, I'll be honest, is a nightmare. They don't let you park in most of the residence areas either. (Although I should mention they do have their own lot, it's just very popular :-) With higher prices on everything, including coffee, this is my go to. If I'm going to splurge, I'd rather spend my money here, a local coffee shop that gets it right, every time.

Excitedly, we entered and ordered some drinks. We got Flight 2 - The Classics, as well as a lemon cream matcha. First off, the flight was fantastic. With 4 different drinks, the black iced coffee, salted coffee, matcha coffee, and pandan coffee, the flight offers great variety. Each drink was so good and the coffee here is maybe my favorite I've tried. Nicely sweetened, but with super floral and fruity notes, the coffee feels light and fresh. The foams were also a great touch on the drinks and we loved it so much we decided to order the extra matcha. The lemon cream matcha was also perfect. Super nice mouthfeel and the cream was just lemon-y enough. Super balanced drinks and really fun studying vibe inside this cafe make it one of the best in the bay.

The sign in front of the store had some drink specials and I got a strawberry/matcha drink I think it was called Rose. I asked what was good here and the cashier said the mini almond pastries and other treats in the front. The mini almond pastry was really good and also got a crème brûlée which was really good as well. I would come back again and try their hot teas next time. Delicious treats.

Truth be told, I'll stop by Philz on my way to work even though it actually IS out of my way. The Campbell Philz is great for doing homework too. I find myself here when I have a laundry list of computer work to do. You'll typically find ample seating and as much table top as you can handle, as long as you are not going during peak hours. Let's face it, it's still a metropolitan area. Peak hours are going to be a nightmare, regardless of where you go, unless you are finding a diamond off the beaten path. The only thing keeping this store from being absolute perfection is the wait when it's busy. It can be a bit frustrating, but the customer service is always en pointe. Period. I hope I don't jinx myself, but I've never needed them to remake my order. They get it right EVERY time. My order is always a large Honey Haze, less sweet, extra creamy. I usually accompany it with whatever pastry strikes my fancy that day. One day, maybe I'll be brave and try something new, but I just don't know how to quit my tried and true.

The bakery offers a place for friends to enjoy each other's company over fresh breads, pastries, coffees, and more. When I stepped into Manresa Bread, I was greeted by the fresh smells of baking bread. Scents of buttery dough, warm and slightly toasted, wafted through the air. The café was packed with customers sharing pastries, enjoying meals, and catching up with friends. I got the salmon toast, and was the presentation beautiful! Two slices of sourdough bread topped with filets of smoked salmon on an herb aioli spread. All of this was garnished with a generous helping of frisee, a few rings of red onion, a helping of capers, a couple zests of lemon, and a sprinkling of dill. And what a delightful meal! From the first bite, the salmon was smoky with a hint of salt and sweetness, with herbal creaminess and a toasty crunch thanks to the aioli and bread. The frisee was peppery sharp, a highlight and good contrast to the salmon. The mild salty brininess of the capers and the bright tart lemon zest brought notes of sunshine and sea breeze to the dish. The dill was the fresh, light, finishing touch. This was just like a fresh lunch by the seaside, and for a moment it was heaven. Where community comes together for good food, Manresa is there. And where there is good food there are great memories. My time at Manresa was a memorable one, and I'll be back for more food and community soon.
