Staff was really kind and generous with ice cream portions! We got strawberry shortcake and the cookies and cream. There is not much seating outside, so it may be good to walk around with. However, the vibe of the outdoor seating is nice and great to catch up with a friend! read more

Coffee Society - Ice cream - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Cupertino, California

We bought some pastries from the cafe today and sat at the outdoor table to eat them. We did already have drinks with us from another shop and other snacks too. Someone from the cafe, who was not the cashier that rang us up, walked over and told us we need to leave as we couldn't have outside food. I mentioned that we just purchased pastries from you not 2min ago. But we left anyway, because we felt unwelcome. The table next to us didn't purchase food from them and were eating out of their own lunchbox, but were not given this same treatment. We are regulars at this library and have patronized this cafe numerous times over the years. This is our first negative experience where we felt unfairly treated, especially compared to the table next to us. The cafe lady that confronted us should've did so to the table next to us too. Or she could've asked us to put away the food that wasn't from them, so that other patrons don't get confused. Or, she should give us the option to refund our pastries since we didn't get to eat them yet, as we had just sat down, after purchasing it. read more

Parents be aware!!! Don't order the bubble gum flavor ice cream for you kids because it really has bubble gum in it and they don't tell you at all, my kids swallowed the bubble gum!!! We ordered three ice creams for the kids, because the two scoops were too big for the waffle cones and they will fall for sure for the young kids and I don't want to make a mess so I asked the lady if I can have a cup for the kids, and the lady's attitude was like I was asking some unreasonable request, although she gave me the cups, her face was annoyed. The ice cream was really expensive and wasn't worth the money. read more

Amazing place! The coffee is amazing and cheap, and there is a great selection of food and snacks to go with it. It is located right next to the Cupertino library and offers great outdoor seating! The cashier and barista were very friendly and quick. Overall I would definitely recommend going here if you are in the area! read more

Coffee Society - Hot Mocha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Cupertino, California

A cute store just beside the Cupertino Library. Love the coffee here! Get a cup of coffee every time when I come here! Recommend!

They take advantage of the location (next to the library) to crank up the prices. $7 for a single scoop of ice cream. The service was fine, the value was not. read more

Sadly they take advantage of kids, parents who want to treat their kids and their location to the library to overprice their items. The items are all things kids would crave for especially if they are actively studying. Since it so centrally located, you would think they would have simple wholesome inexpensive items and sell them at volume - but not this place. read more

I get a cup of coffee here every time I study at the library, owner greets me with a smile and coffee is good. It's not overpriced, not cheap but you pay a bit more to go local. I really like their hot americano. I see from other reviews (and from using my eyes) they overcharge for ice cream. Opportunistic, I can respect the hustle, glad they keep coffee reasonable. read more

I rate this place 5 stars for the location and what snack food they offer when you are simply wanting a pick me up from espresso or ice cream. It's located on the far-right side of Cupertino library. You may miss it if you only walk from the main parking lot. I stumbled upon this place and found it convenient. Never heard of Marianna's ice cream before this try and got a scoop of the double fudge chocolate and it was great! There are two small tables outside and more benches out on the front courtyard. read more

It is pretty disappointing that the prices are so expensive for such low quality product. read more

Coffee Society - $8 each for this... - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Cupertino, California

I miss going to the coffee society that was in Cupertino by De Anza College. I was surprised to see this one here! I love how coffee society has always been a part of its own community with poets/artist/people that inspire along with their innovative local coffees and delicious pastries and snacks to go along with everything! read more

Ordered an Iced Honey Latte here and the barista who made it did an amazing job it tasted really good~! I haven't been here in years and don't remember enjoying the drinks back then but looks like I'll be coming back more often for my coffee fix when I'm nearby read more

They do have smoothies, not just coffee and ice cream. The smoothies are kind of too sweet although. Next to the Cupertino library. read more

Got a $6 scoop of strawberry ice cream in a cone here. The Korean ladies work with no sense of urgency and do not acknowledge you until they're ready to take your order. Minimum $5 to use credit card so I guess it was a good thing the ice cream was so expensive. read more

After one of our recently Cupertino library trips, my son really wanted ice-cream. Instead of driving to yet another destination, we decided to walk over to the cafe for some. He loved the ice cream while my daughter enjoyed a waffle cone...I was pretty baffled at the price that we had to pay though! For the same cost, I would much rather go to Salt & Straw instead TBH... read more

I have ordered Milk tea multiple times. Each time I requested to put less sugar and less ice. But there is no effort to consider the request. The drink either will have truck loads of ice or no ice. The place has multiple plants and other items and doesn't seem just a coffee place. Give it a try, but be careful of what you ask and what they serve. read more

I was at the Cupertino library and I needed caffeine desperately so I went to coffee society for the convenience. I paid $5.5 for a cup of 16oz hot mint mocha, it seriously tasted like syrup, it was really terrible. So stay away! By the way, cash only for purchase under $5 read more

Stay away Rip off prices for ice cream Rude service (Asian women served us) Steer your kids away and go to any other nearby ice cream parlors read more

I always get coffee here whenever I am in Cupertino library to study. It is a tiny little place to the right side of library entrance. Has freshly baked cookies and cupcakes. I like their brownies too. So yummy! Hot chocolate is not bad. Friendly lady at the desk. Overall a good experience. Will come back again. Note: minimum $5 for credit card purchases. Anything below, they accept only cash read more

A little off the beaten path and a bit small on the inside - but well worth finding this place! Had a double shot iced latte with whole milk. Drink was strong, creamy, and delicious. Got my brain cells firing again! read more

Coffee frappe Subpar drink, mainly ice with no flavor and the little flavor that was in it was pretty bitter. Nice atmosphere and good prices but doesn't make up for the drink read more

First of all, the lady there is super friendly :) i had ice americano with almond milk which was nice Will definitely go again and try other drinks. read more

I come in at 6:05PM wanting to get a shot of espresso. Barista looks at me and says, "Uh... I just cleaned the machine, so I'm just selling *points* these stuff, and these stuff because we're closing in like 15 minutes" I blinked, turned around, and walked out door. Okay, so maybe you should change your hours to closing at 6:15PM? I'm sorry you cannot wipe down your equipment again as I would've caused you to be late getting off your shift. Sorry. Also, they sell hot pockets that cost $3.25... for reals? Oh wait, they wrote it as "premium hot pockets" lmao, no thanks. read more

Coffee, Food, Service, and Ambiance, this place is awesome. It is located near to the library so it is good for studying and chilling. the service is 10/10. Recommend coming to this place. read more

Terrible service.The old Korean lady is really rude.The coffee is not good and overpriced.

Terrible service. Got ignored for 3 minutes while literally standing in front of me. Drinks were subpar at best. Does not accept Apple Pay or credit card if under $5. Better coffee a block over at Bitter Sweet, better tea across at Hanlin Tea room. Only good side is literally next to library. read more

I come here for a coffee fix when 1) I'm studying at the Cupertino library or 2) when I'm visiting my friend who lives right down the street and the perfect excuse is to get a coffee drink. I like this location a lot more than the other one on Stevens Creek. Their drinks to me either taste really sweet or really watered down. This coffee shop has had more consistency and better customer service. During the fall, try their pumpkin spice lattes; much better than Starbucks. Their Cafe Lattes have a really good taste and I just tried their Mocha Shake, like an ice blended mocha but you can choose between milk or frozen yogurt. That's a new one! The guy made my moca into a work of art with little X's all around the inside of the cup, not to mention that it tasted so delicious!!!! Hmmm....maybe I'll get one today! read more

This place is super convenient when you're studying all day at the library and get hungry. Don't be tempted to try Won Stew House across the street which is ATROCIOUS. (See my personal experience and Yelp review at http://bit.ly/peOn2b) There isn't a bunch of seating, but the refreshments vary widely from tea and coffee to Izze sodas and bottled water and juice blends available in the fridge. When I stopped by today, I was tempted by the ginormous $2.25 chocolate-chocolate chip muffin. They also had a waffle maker going in the back, but the day was too hot for that. I would, however, be tempted to try it some other time. They're running a promotion right now where you can buy a gift card/frequent buyer's card for $20 that comes loaded with $23 purchasing power. read more

FYI since my yelp app on my iPhone updated itself recently, I am excited to tell you guys this is my first review via iPhone.. I should be studying right now but I decided to spare a few minutes to write a live yelp review!!!! :) As I am sitting down in coffee society, I can count the amount of chairs and tables with the amount of fingers that I have, 10. 3 tables and 2 chairs each inside the vicinity and few out in the front of the shop. I guess since there is a community center and library right here, they didn't think many people would chill here. $4 for a 16 oz white mocha. It is actually pretty good. The right amount of sweetness topped off with whipped cream. I should of looked at the menu more carefully and ordered the killer man java because it does sound "killer". There is half an hour left until closing and the girl working already put away all the chairs and tables that were not occupied away already. This misleads people in thinking the place is about to close within the next few minutes. I would think you would clean up 5 minutes before closing time at least. This just makes it seem to us that they want us out already but I will stand my ground and stay here until closing! Ha!! It is definitely not the place if you are looking for a late night coffee shop for getting work done. Free wifi available here!!! That's a plus! read more

So fun to study w/ my favorite drink - a mocha chai - or a scoop of that amazing coffee ice cream. Everything is overpriced, but if you've gone to any Starbucks of late, a $6 small won't faze you. read more

I've been here twice and both times I decided to get the Strawberry Italian Cream Soda. I love it! I'm a little weary that I go to "Coffee Society" to get a Soda instead of a coffee. I don't know, but its good. Maybe when I come here again i'll try their coffee,maybe. Another plus side is the service is great. MORE POINTS-I like the environment to study in, its quiet. I don't see many students, but there are a lot of older people,which is probably why its quiet. I like it :) I'll come out of my comfort zone and try something new soon, I hope. read more

There are two Coffee Societies...this one in particular is on Torre Road ADJACENT to the Cupe Library. Came here intending to get in a quick morning study session at the library, only to find out that it doesn't open until 10AM. Therefore, I found myself at Coffee Society bright and early around 8AM. There were so many right's going on here: WIFI is strong (SCCL wifi), PLENTY of laptop outlets, the heater is ON full blast early in the mornings, the Korean owner is an absolute sweetheart--and he clearly knows how to make coffee art, and get this...ALL COFFEE DRINKS have a free first refill! Service is with a smile--as it should be for early morning go-ers! He has a great message written on the chalkboard when you enter the tiny shop, and it truly shows in his spirit when he works. He wants you to leave his shop happier than you entered...and that deserves 5 stars! The only bummer is that there isn't much space for groups of people. That's why I noticed (as the only camper) that people typically just walked in for their drinks/cafe foods, then left right after. However, I'm quite sure I'll be back to get another beautiful latte created by the man himself, especially since the location is conveniently next to the library! read more

This place has a lot of snacks and a small drink menu. Which is fine. They usually employ only one person at a time. Thus it goes by fairly slowly. There were like 3-4 people when I came this time and all I wanted was a tea. She would take one order, make the drink then take the next order. Sometimes, its a bit more efficient to take 3 orders, then work on all 3 at the same time... you can make 2 espressos at the same time, all while, filling a cup with hot water and a teabag. There was a girl who ordered a milk tea, but didn't really speak english. and the waitress was a bit impatient with her and kept asking house or jasmine? house or jasmine? The waitress kinda had a slight attitude but wasn't that mean to anybody else. I'd tend to avoid this place, but whatever. It's okay for just stopping in getting something quick. read more

I completely agree with Nancy that this is the cutest little coffee shop that is located next to the Cupertino Library. Wonderful service. Very clean and as Nancy pointed out, they have a little bit of everything. Like Chocolate Chip Cookies, which is my favorite kind of cookie. Lots of room, despite the fact that it is tiny. There are magazines, books, and nice quotes on the wall. Finally, it is very reasonable. Much more reasonable for someone like me, who loves reasonable prices. I will definitely be back. read more

Just wanted to give a good review because the owner is super nice and friendly. The employees are easy to talk to and they seem to know the regulars. The prices are sub-par. I'v gotten Vanilla Chai Milk Tea: $2.75 It was okay. The chai made the drink not as a cold as I wanted to be. Interesting flavor Mango Peach Italian Soda- $3 Good but overpriced for what it is (flavored carbonated water) Lychee Jelly Jasmine Milk Tea- $2.75 Really sweet and the lychee jelly was hard to suck out. But the portion seemed okay. Overall, it's a nice spot in a convenient location next to the library and they also offer home-baked muffins and other snacks like ice cream, chips, cup noodles. Yay for free wifi. Update 5/8 Just ordered a large iced chai latte as a pick me up A little bit disappointed as it just tastes like watered down sweet milk with s hint of chai. Maybe it was my mistake to order it cold but definitely didn't taste that great. Size and speed was good though. Super fast and size is reasonable for $3.50 read more

Coffee Society - Vanilla chai milk tea: crappy pearls but good drink - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Cupertino, California

Coffee Society is an absolutely lovely place. It's located next to the library and it's definitely a great place to retreat to for a break. It definitely has that warm-hearted vibe (from the baristas/employees and the other customers) that can definitely rub off some pieces of happiness on anyone having a bad day; a sour mood will turn into a pocket full of sunshine. The muffins are delicious-delicious, bomb diggity-dog! Coffee Society baked the muffins, brownies, croissants, cheese-filled croissants, cookies, etc. throughout the day, so they're not stale. They're filling and delicious. Also, sandwiches are made in the morning of the day -- tuna sandwich, ham and cheese sandwich, and egg-potato salad sandwich :) I actually really like the milk teas from here. Usually in other places it's SO sweet and it ruins the actual flavor of the tea... BUT because Coffee Society makes it with ACTUAL TEA, you can definitely taste the difference in quality. So whether you're making a quick run, passing by, taking a study break, or just hanging around, Coffee Society lends a lovely and peaceful welcome to you. read more

Coffee Society - Wow the baristas are so cool wow - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Cupertino, California

This place is an average coffee shop with a small selection of pastries/food items, non-caffeinated cold drinks, and various warm and cold coffee drinks. They also had a small offering of milkteas with an option to get boba or lychee added in. Prices were comparable to other coffee/boba shops. Minimal indoor seating, but it's conveniently located next to the Cupertino library and city hall. The staff were really friendly and helpful. I got an iced coffee (medium size) for $2.25 and it was pretty decent iced coffee. read more

so cute and the food is great! i reccomend the oreo frappe :) great for a pre studying snackdc chi fs Da

Very cozy spot next door to the library. I wish I could vouch for the coffee itself, but I gave into my sweet tooth and got the Oreo Frappe. I'm not actually sure if there was any caffeine in the mix. Pretty much tasted nothing but oreos, milk and chocolate syrup. I don't have a problem with that, but some people might. Also seating is kind of nonexistent. There are a couple tables, but if you have more than one person you won't be sitting across from each other. You'll be next to each other at best. But there's more seating outside if you're not afraid of the cold! Overall it's a small and chill shop with a basic menu. It's a great accompaniment to the library but probably won't hold for a standalone joint. read more

Went for a quick caffeine recharge and the dude at the counter told me the cafe is closed, while making drinks for a couple who just placed an order seconds ago. He was rude and didn't bother explaining himself why he decided to close off the shop at 4:30. But thanks for saving me from caffeine OD I guess? Jokes... read more
