I have never had their avocado latte before, but got it 50% sweet, less ice.The avocado added a nice creaminess in it with a subtle hint of avocado that wasn't overpowering for the drink. Would get again. For the eggspresso hanoi, honestly this is what I get almost every time I come here. Always get the 50% sweetness with less ice. Flavors are always the same when I get this drink which is nice.

Preordering is clutch and crucial. egg coffee is perhaps my all time favorite. 50% sweetness, normal amount of ice. the perfect blend.

It's one of those spots we keep coming back to because the food is consistently good and the service is always welcoming. My son especially loves the breakfast burrito, but honestly, everything we've tried has been delicious. The food is fresh, flavorful, and consistently well prepared. Whether we're stopping in for a quick breakfast or taking our time, we always have a great experience. One of the things we appreciate most is the staff. Everyone is always friendly, attentive, and makes us feel welcome. When you visit somewhere as often as we do, that kind of service really makes a difference. We were also excited to hear that Morning Lobby is opening a new location in Los Gatos! We're looking forward to checking it out and are so happy to see one of our favorite breakfast spots expanding. We'll definitely continue to be regulars!

If you're ordering takeout, just head inside and find someone with the handheld device to order. The line outside is for dine-in. For takeout, I received my order in 15-20 minutes. They are super busy so I try to give some grace but they were a little too scatter-brained for me. I gave my name when I ordered, but then the same lady came up to me multiple times asking if I was someone else & each time I had to correct her, "Michelle? Alma? What did you order?" At one point she even came out to ask how much I paid & when the transaction went through. I later found out it was because they couldn't find my order... regardless, it wasn't a good look on them. Their food saved them! The birria burrito is delicious & does not feel like they're skimping out on you!! The matcha latte comes unsweetened and was not bad, but a little watered down. The vienna latte has a nice sweet cream top but I'm not a fan of the coffee beans they use -- it has a fruitier/acidic taste, but I think a deeper nutty flavor would better fit the drink.

The barista was also nice and spoke to us for a bit about what he was doing and his coffee interests. I came here with my dad the coffee lover and another time with my husband (who came for the food). I think they have a unique selection of pastries to try from and would recommend the banana sesame toast and Shio pan. I will have to try the focaccia the next time I go! Definitely come for the experience if you like pour overs!

There was a bit of a line but it moved quickly and then the food and drinks came out in a reasonable amount of time. I enjoyed the orange coffee. The egg sando was also well seasoned and picture worthy. Minus a star because the bread on the sando was stale, which was disappointing since it makes up so much of the sando experience. The cardamom bun was also good.

The Matcha taste is really good and I like how they add sweet cream on top. The amount of ice was not excessive at all, I appreciated that. I love the mini cakes here and think they are worth the $9 each. The salted egg cake is savory and sweet, a nice combination of flavors. Since the egg cream is already salty, I don't think it needs to have shredded pork floss on top. The sweet corn cake is a really nice dessert. There are lots of tables for studying and hanging out.

I ordered 3 drinks, and Iced Hojicha tea, a Banana Bourbon Iced latte, and a Citrus Chill. The…read morecoffee was well balanced but the citrus chill was my favorite as it had a tart finish that brightened up the fruity notes in the espresso. I need to go back because everything I ordered was iced and I want to try some of the hot drinks. The banana bourbon latte was good, I wish it had maybe a more pronounced banana flavor and that the bourbon came through more. But the oat milk and the coffee were so smooth and luxurious that it made the experience enjoyable. Important note: with Mitsua market and the busy food areas there, this plaza gets incredibly busy! It's not the best parking situation, so know that ahead of time.

Ordered: Dark Iced Chocolate Mocha and Nitro Cold Brew Bathroom: Yes WiFi: Yes This was our second time visiting and while we went into it with high expectations because of how much we enjoyed our visit (2 years ago), we did notice a dip in customer service and beverage quality. The espresso shot used in the iced mocha was not fully dialed to hit that balanced note that we are used to. The cold brew tasted more muddy than the previous time. Overall, the customer service seemed more like us inconveniencing the team, as opposed to being welcomed into the space. We noticed after we ordered our drinks, a line formed, and no one was available to take orders for customers due to behind the counter conversations that seemed more important than serving customers. There were two gentlemen who had been there approximately 10 minutes before us, and went to the pick up station three times to see if their orders were ready (multiple customers got their coffee and tea drinks before them). A quick note on the customer service - as someone who worked in food service for a number of years, I could empathize with teams that deal with high volume of customers. However, what separates good from great customer service is the ability to communicate with your customer when times are busy, as opposed to ignoring them. There are seated areas but fill up quickly, and they do have an outdoor space to hangout as well. If I'm in the plaza area and need a coffee, after this experience, we would debate before going.

However, once mixed in with the strawberry puree and oat milk, the strawberry puree did mask the matcha flavor. However, it was still a good and yummy drink! The strawberry puree tasted unique too, but I don't know how to put the taste into words so you're just gonna have to try it for yourself :)) We also tried the genmaicha tea, and it tasted like faan ziu to me, but I love faan ziu so I liked it! It was very refreshing for the hot summer day it was. Heads up that they only have almond oat and soy milk! A very solid spot to get some work done too. There isn't much foot traffic, so it's pretty calm and quiet. They have tables and wifi! Workers were sooo sweet and kind too!

They had a variety of drinks, and I decided to go with the Thai Brûlée. The drink was good, but it was a little too sweet for me, especially in the morning. But honestly, that was more my fault for ordering it lol! It's definitely more of a dessert-type drink. The sweet Thai tea topped with egg pudding that was torched on top was quite a sugar overload. The other drinks on the menu looked really good and unique though!

Really lovely little coffee shop that leans into that industrial warehouse vibe in the best way…read more The coffee was great--I ended up trying both on-tap cold brews on the day we went because I didn't realize that buying a bag of whole bean coffee came with a free coffee drink. With some coffees a second cup will give me a stomach ache (especially since I drink my cold brews black and bitter like my soul), but I had no problems with their cold brews! I also got the vegan stonefruit scone (baked by Sweet Dragon) and while a little on the dry side (common with scones), paired extremely well with the coffee and had good flavor. Husband got a cappuccino and a strawberry mini pie and was extremely pleased with his order. The service is friendly, but some things may have been new on the day we went. They almost forgot my cold brew until we asked at the counter, as well as stating that they didn't have anything to heat up my husband's strawberry pie (which seems odd, since a little toaster oven seems like a simple fix for that), but apparently it was fantastic at room temperature anyway. Seating was absolutely full when we got there and we were lucky to snag a table as another couple left, so it seems like a popular Saturday morning spot. Several folks were working on laptops, and it seems like a kid-friendly place. The decor is a clean and modern/trendy industrial style, which works well for the space, and the windows provide nice daylight. Overall, a good coffee shop and I am really happy to see vegan pastry options! My husband is getting into pinball, which was part of the motivation to come out and try Chromatic, so I am sure we'll be back again next time he wants to hit up Slingshot (in the same building), and I look forward to the coffee and treats!

The seating area is quite limited for the large crowd it attracts, making the atmosphere inside feel a bit chaotic at peak times. Fortunately, the baristas are super polite and work fast, keeping the long lines moving efficiently. The coffee menu and the retail bean selection are both impressive. I decided to try a dulce de leche coffee. While I was expecting a strong caramel profile of dulce de leche, the flavor turned out to be fairly subtle rather than prominent. It added a significant sweetness, but without knowing the order beforehand, identifying the exact flavor would have been tough. That said, the coffee itself was still refreshing The high quality of the coffee bean really shone through, delivering a rich aroma and the ideal caffeine kick for a breezy morning. Great coffee beans and fast service make it worth dropping in, even if the indoor seating situation is a bit tight.

They were both recommended by the worker so I gave it a shot. At the end, the price to taste ratio was not worth it what so ever. The mango matcha just tasted like mango juice, and the honey date latte was mediocre at best. I honestly enjoy coming here to study, but drinks are not worth it so far. I'll give them a chance again for drinks, but my best recommendation is to work on their recipe to make it more tastier and enjoyable to drink.
