    Coffee Roaster
    Laltoo B.

    Authentic old world coffee house! Best Cappuccino i have had in some time. Much better than the upmarket fare on Castro. Loved the ambiance - People actually writing with pen, along with some keyboarders. Jazz playing in the background. Actual Roaster adds to the mystery. Must try if u r in the area. Friendly service.

    No frills cafe. Spicy chai. Pay in cash. Interior has a couple of tables. No music plays inside the cafe so if you like a quieter space or like to hear background noise, this is the spot. I was craving a chai and out of all the cafes along the street, I chose Dana Street. Now this is not a weak kind of chai, we are talking about a chai that packs a punch and would sure wake you up. I like my tea sweet so I added honey and it was great! It was very reasonably priced. I would come here again to try their other drinks and specialty roasts.

    Winding your way down on Dana Street. Light in your head and dead on your feet, well it's another beautiful day you'll drink the day away and forget about everything. A true old school coffee shop that keeps it real and you can tell by their menu. Drinks ordered were the Caffe Valencia and Iris Cream latte with one in a mug and the other in a cool looking glass. The Irish drink was simple and flavorful with its cream flavoring. The Valencia was a cappuccino with orange and nutmeg and a well balanced cute cup with both flavors. Atmosphere had chill sleepy town vibes and the service was good. Outside seating available if you like to enjoy your Java alfresco. And that's my take, Peace.

    Cute little coffee shop just off of Castro! When you enter, you're greeted with the smell of roasting beans. There is plenty of seating and free WiFi, so it's perfect for when you want to get some work done. The man (owner?) of the store was so kind and let us try the coffee before purchasing their beans. It was my first time trying Thai coffee and it was very sweet and strong.

    Came by for coffee the other day and it was a decent experience. Dana Street Roasting Company appears to be a more dated coffee shop. Parking is available in the private surface lots or on the streets. There is seating both indoors and outdoors although the vibe is definitely more dated... Ordered an iced mocha and it was tasty. Espresso was smooth and the beverage wasn't too sweet. Perfect. There is a a surcharge for credit cards though...

    I have, for at least seven years (with significant gaps for travel at home and abroad), had the immense pleasure of truly great coffee (and iterations thereof) at DANA STREET ROASTING COMPANY [744 West Dana Street, Mountain ViewCA 94041 USA; 650.390.9638; danastreetroasting.com] beginning (¡or continuing!) many starts to a great day. Open seven days/week (08:00-14:00), I can always count on baristas (baristos if you fail/refuse to recognize that "barista" is a gender neutral word) Shadow and/or Noah to prepare an exquisitely constructed/perfect tasting cuppa' joe, made better by using recyclable cups (or bring your own), with a selection of additives: half-and-half/honey/cinnamon/ . Use a stirring stick to blend it as you prefer whilst enjoying interior seating, sidewalk tables under shades, or "to go". With only Shadow & Noah on duty, a small queue might cause a short weight, but it's worth it as you can chat up other delightful patrons, or, once served, sit down to use the free WiFi to complete your next bestseller.....! If you're feeling peckish, light snacks (my preference is the toasted poppyseed bagel + cream cheese, but I've also enjoyed muffins/"healthy" Danish/biscotti) are available. Sometimes I can read up on the area news in a free newspaper; no way can I afford any of the advertised homes, though sitting amongst the period roasters with open ceilings is nice. The bathroom is 100% exactly what can be expected. I always look forward to that vitally needed wake-up-and-get/stay moving fluid. DANA STREET ROASTING COMPANY definitely has my coveted "iWheel of Approval!"

    Came on a weekend morning. Parking was super easy and there was a short line at the shop. No indoor seating at the moment. Staff was really nice as provided recommendations. 7/10 Mexican Mocha Large $6.80 - coffee was good, mocha flavor was super light, sweetness level about 3/10 even with whip cream. Personally would like more of the chocolatey flavor and sweeter.

    Great selection of flavors. The gingerbread latte is sweet like the cookie but not too sweet. The banana mocha has the subtle taste of the banana mixed with the chocolate. Friendly staff and great prices. There's no indoor seating but it's in downtown Mountain View so take a stroll with your coffee. Overall, great place to get coffee.

Because, once again, I was distracted by the quality of the food, and there would be no way for me to do anything else, but to eat! Today, I was in the mood for something more than a salad (much as I wanted to preset what I had the first time coming here, I made a concerted effort to order something else...), thus I chose the Forager Flatbread. It took less time to make this time (roughly about five minutes after ordering), and when it came out, I marveled at how it looked like a work of art! Just beautiful! Each piece of herbed formage blanc flatbread had a nice, crunchy bottom (but not blackened) and a slightly tanginess, with a a good amount of "hen-of-the-wood" mushrooms, sweet roasted garlic and a bed of arugula. My, oh, my! My first bite was a multi-level extravaganza! The crunch of the bread, followed by the aroma of the herbs and arugula, then the saltiness of the cheese, the sweetness of the roasted garlic, the earthiness of the mushrooms - all came together as just a wonderful work of culinary art! This being my first time eating today, my saliva glands just fired off at first bite, causing a bit of intense pain from too much saliva shooting out. But, seriously, this was a very delicious entree, that I enjoyed from start to finish! Bravo for this second joyous experience!

They look huge when they first come out, but since they're mostly shaved ice, they melt down and become much fluffier and easier to finish. We purposely chose one fresh/fruity flavor and one more decadent dessert flavor for some contrast, which I definitely recommend. // Mango Cheese Sulbing Yummy overall, and I especially liked the little cheesecake bites mixed throughout. They added a creamy, richer bite that went really well with the mango and shaved ice. I do wish the mango tasted a little fresher- the fruit chunks didn't seem quite as freshly cut/prepared as I was hoping. The scoop of ice cream on top was also surprisingly hard and difficult to eat. We basically had to wait for it to soften and melt before it could be mixed. Still enjoyable, though! // Chocolate Monster Sulbing A fun choice if you're craving something more dessert-y! Lots of yummy Oreo pieces and chocolate flavor. At first, I thought this one was slightly dry because of the cocoa powder dusting, but once the ice started melting and we mixed everything together, the texture improved quite a bit. Interestingly, the ice cream that came with the chocolate monster was much smoother and creamier than the scoop on the mango cheese. Not sure if they use different types of vanilla ice cream for the two but there was a noticeable difference in texture. Overall, Sulbing is still a solid dessert spot, especially for sharing with friends. Lots of indoor seating with some outdoor tables. Great spot for studying too if you don't mind some light chatting around. The shaved ice can occasionally feel a little dry depending on the toppings. Definitely mix everything thoroughly as the ice starts to melt- it makes the flavors and texture much more even. I'd come back and try more flavors!

Craftsman and Wolves is a killer crafts bakery that makes the perfect Kouign-amann. The shop does many things including a signature bread pudding, small in size but big in flava. Measures maybe two and a half inches diameter, an inch thick. Packs a wonderful wowie punch with the seasonally ripe berries and fruit, plus a few pieces of specialty chocolate. My friend who knows from excellent pastries says the goods at C and W are special because the sugars in each item are balanced, not excessive. The goodies we sampled together were scrumptious. Somehow even my pedestrian palate senses that these dessert thingies are distinctive and of ultra quality. Ambiance-wise, it's a noisy place with a few tables lining the windows. You are elbow to elbow practically against neighbouring tables. I know I heard every syllable of the conversation going on to my right-hand side. I also knew it was Korean, so I couldn't successfully eavesdrop... boooooo. Very unique metallic artsy fashioned chairs make the space seem modern. There's merch in the corner and on a wall. You can get coffee drinks too. Service is excellent: the majestically tall staffer -- who I thought was manager but isn't -- was the kindest friendliest soul, very pleasant to chat with.

Kouign amann actually fell short for me. It's too flaky and lack of the dough-y texture; and theres only sugar coated outside rather than caramerlized layers of sugar in better the lamination. There are also lots of sandwiches options Coffee is also good hence we come back for more. I would skip the matcha latte if you're a matcha snoob. Price is bit high for pastries. I would definitely take friends and family here for the wide option of pastries and sandwiches !

They offer a variety of drinks, from lattes to milk teas to shakes. Some of my favorites include the Mocha Latte and Ube Milk Tea. The only disappointment was the Mermaid, but I'm not a green tea drinker so maybe it's just not my taste. The drinks lean sweet, so for those who prefer less sugar than me (i.e. most people), you should adjust accordingly. Meanwhile, the desserts are just as diverse and delicious. I enjoyed the Ube Cashew Brownie and Milo Cupcake, but would recommend the Ube Leche Flan Cupcake for your first visit. One trend across their offerings is the use of Filipino flavors like ube, Milo, and sweet corn. It makes them stand out in the crowded cafe & boba market. On the other aspects.. the store itself isn't too big but is well-decorated. There's not much seating so most will just order to-go. The service is usually quick so that's not an issue. Overall, I highly recommend checking out Café 86, as I'm pretty sure you'll find something you like.
