    Banana Coffee
    Kaho L.

    Really great new spot for all kinds of Asian coffee drinks! It's in a quiet area with plenty of parking. Very comfy but limited seating inside and free wifi, so could be a great place to work. Self service kiosks for convenient ordering, though there's only 2 of them. Where they really shine is their drinks, I've only tried their Banana Viet Coffee but it was really dang good, with lots of fresh banana flavor and could still taste the Vietnamese coffee. And their menu is huge! I'd suggest looking online ahead of time, otherwise you'll be scrolling their tablets for a long time. Lots of limited time and seasonal drinks too. It's really pretty nuts. Definitely recommend if you're in the area!

    Vietamericano
    Rakshit P.

    I'm always looking for good coffee shops and had been meaning to try this one. I placed my order using the self serving kiosk at the counter. We got the Vietamericano and Phin drip latte, both of which were really good. For food we got two breakfast bagel. Requested one without bacon. Service was a bit slow even though it was just us and another table. After about 10 mins I had to go nudge them for the bagels. When I finally received them, I saw both of them had bacon in it. They did make the bagel again but it took yet another 10 mins. Overall the bagels were very good specially with the Jalapeño cilantro aioli.

    Sweet Potato Fries
    Rachel L.

    Wow I wish I lived closer because this spot was so good! It completely took me by surprise, especially the food! We had the egg rolls, sweet potato fries, smiley potatoes, honey garlic bagel, pressed waffle w/ pandan & sea salt cream, and the ham & egg sandwich. When I tell you those smiley potatoes are actually so addicting to eat! Super well-seasoned and the perfect light crispy texture and soft potato inside. So good with their house ranch. The honey garlic bagel was also sooo yummy, along with their waffles and sweet potato fries. The cilantro sauce that the egg rolls came with was bomb. The sandwich was just okay to me but I dont really like egg salad. For drinks, we tried a whole bunch but we liked the thairamisu and the peach tea most! The coffees were actually really good and I don't like coffee, but the matchas were just okay (bit too milky). Service was 10/10; quick and super welcoming + attentive. The place actually does look like a bar; it's such a creative concept. They even shake up some drinks like they do at bars. I will definitely be back again if I'm in the area.

    I was in the area and I stumbled upon this place. They had Vietnamese coffee and that got me wired ! I loved the taste and I definitely had the energy all day to be productive! You order your drink on the kiosk and they have drinks for kids too. This place is nice to meet a friend for a drink or to hang out. The staff was friendly and perfectly made my drink! Plenty of parking spots!

    I've been wanting to try this place ever since I saw it on social media and I finally got the chance yesterday for a pop-up bag charm event! It is far south of SJ so I have to go kind of far but I am addicted now!! It's very worth the drive. I came back today and it's nice that they open pretty late even on Sundays. The cilantro jalapeno aioli is delicious! It makes all of their snacks 10x better. I usually see that sauce a lot in socal but not normally here. I love how there's a variety of snacks as well as a few sandwiches/bagels, and a lot of dessert options. The egg sando is very yummy and a good portion. The sweet potato fries also pair perfectly with the aioli sauce. The milk tea isn't anything crazy but it's still good! Ambience is nice and service is fast. There's a good amount of seating but it can get busy on Saturdays. Parking lot also has a lot of spots.

    Strawberry matcha
    Anny L.

    Saw this on an episode of Foodies First Feast and had to try it myself. Saturday afternoon was busy! We were able to order quickly on a kiosk but it would've been nice if they had physical menus so you're not scrolling through the kiosk when there is a line. We ordered the strawberry matcha, pandan milk tea, classic Viet coffee, Thai tea, black milk tea, and li hing mui soda. The pandan milk tea was fantastic! Great combo of milk tea and with a fragrant pandan flavor. Place was so busy it's hard to imagine it being a good spot for studying. Definitely great place for drinks. Service was quick and they were nice too. Can't wait to come back to try the rest of the pandan series!

    Thai-ra misu
    Fiona K.

    Insomnibar has become one of our favorite new spots in south SJ! They have such a great variety of drinks & snacks and are open till midnight which is awesome because so many coffee / tea places close early. The cafe itself has a decent amount of seating & is located in a plaza area with some other businesses so there's plenty of parking. Even though they've had a consistent flow of orders every time we've gone our drinks have been made pretty quick & they always taste amazing. My favorites are the strawberry cloud matcha, the Thai-ra-misu, & the dirty taro latte. I really love how many options there are bc no matter what I'm in the mood for the have something.

    Pandan Vietnamese coffee. Meh/eew.
    Dennis N.

    I don't understand the hype, but what I ordered was nas-tea. Close to 0 pandan taste. I'll drink it since I paid for it, but if I had a choice I'll just go to the many traditional Vietnamese coffee houses that just serve regular no fluff Vietnamese coffee. Would I give this place a second chance? Of course I will since I do believe in second chances. I'll just try something that is known to be good at this location.

    Overall: 3.5/5 I always pass by the plaza going home. I finally got curious and decided to try this place out. Inside is spacious and open, plenty seating indoors and outdoors. It had the dark but neon club aesthetic. I ordered on the kiosk where they had a variety of options (snacks and drinks) and a good selection of non-caffeinated drinks. Service was good (accommodating) and quick. Overall, I think the fruity drinks are sweet, milk teas are slightly watered down, and snacks are savory. Boba is also well-cooked, soft, and chewy. Drinks: - Roasted Oolong Milk Tea: you can definitely taste the roast but the tea is either subtle or watered down, honey boba saves it - Black Milk Tea: got it at 100% but it was not sweet, watered down - Pandan Honeydew: sweet, strong in honeydew, but can't taste the pandan - Thai-Ra-Misu: classic Thai tea - Strawberry Matcha: strawberry is subtle and giving Nesquik, can't taste much matcha - Peach Lemongrass Tea: sweet but refreshing, tastes like peach syrup, but I like how it actually has peach bits and jelly Food: - Smileys Mashed Potato Fries: soft and crispy, garlic seasoned - Cheese Tots: crispy, I recommend eating it right away for the desired cheese pull - Honey Garlic Bagel: sweet and savory bagel, cream cheese gave it a good balance, but it can be a but oily

    Matcha latte
    Karina S.

    Was a decent place to grab a drink and have a nice environment to work in! Wifi was reliable and I had no issues for the whole ~2 hours I was here. The drink itself, however, was nothing too special in my opinion. I got an iced matcha latte with almond milk. There was a lot of ice in the cup, so it felt like there wasn't actually too much liquid in the cup (especially for the drink being a large size and over $8). I did appreciate that they were able to customize the drink to be unsweetened though.

    Li Hing Mui Soda
    Tim L.

    Came to try out this spot since their concept is taking the process of making cocktails and different drink concoctions and transferring it to a boba shop which they did pretty well at. All their drinks are pretty nice in terms of presentation and taste. They also have some pretty good food options. The interior gives it an upscale bar vibe so definitely a good place to relax and chat. Service was quick and their food items in particular is fresh, even if it meant waiting a little longer. Drinks: Peach Lemon Grass Li Hing Mui Soda Blueberry Cloud Matcha Lychee Limeade Food: Garlic fries Egg rolls Pressed croissant (waffle one) Dirty Taro (rice crispy) My favorite drink would have to be the Peach Lemon Grass. Li Hing Mui would also be good, but it took me a while to warm up to it, but definitely one of my liked drinks as it a soda. Pressed croissant is my favorite food followed by the egg rolls since the egg rolls were hot and fresh. I do wish they gave maybe two servings of the croissant.

    Unfortunately didn't live up to the previous reviews for me. We ordered banana coffee and a matcha with blueberry. The blueberry matcha was very milky and didn't taste much like matcha While the banana coffee was quite good, it had a subtle banana taste Both drinks were ordered with light ice, smaller size and were filled half up with ice. It was a cold winter morning and it would have been preferable if they listened and provided less drink if necessary to compensate

    Caitlin L.

    Such a nice place with an inventive menu and friendly staff! My bf and I came here to do work and ordered their honeycomb latte with almond milk and less sweetness. Orders are placed directly on the kiosk and then are made very quickly. There are a good amount of tables and outlets! Their menu is extensive with a variety of drink and food options. The wi-fi was fast and reliable. I would recommend!

    So, I live for coffee. I roast it, buy it, sell it, cup it, pack it, ship it, mix it, blend it…read more.. you name it. So when I travel, I'm usually hauling around an arsenal of brewing gear like some caffeinated survivalist. And yeah... I'm picky AF. I like what I like. So if you're gonna serve me coffee, it better show up dressed in a suit and tie. In this case, it absolutely did. I had to give the local spot near Grandma's house a shot. I walked in with crossed fingers and low expectations, but walked out with a satisfied palate, a smile, and an eagerness to visit again soon. This is NOT your run-of-the-mill coffee shop. They roast onsite. Real deal, Holyfield. I started with an espresso. Then a cortado. Then grabbed a bag of Yirgacheffe to go because I gotta see what else they got going on. . These guys clearly know what they're doing; and if they don't, they accidentally perfected it anyway. The espresso was balanced, clean, and intentional. Nothing hidden behind over-roasting or gimmicks. Just refined quality coffee handled correctly. I'm genuinely glad spots like this exist, and even happier one sits right here near my fam. Seriously, can't wait to visit again.

We've…read moreactually been here before and came back specifically because their coffee is genuinely excellent. This time, however, the experience was a bit mixed. The drinks were still top-notch--we really enjoyed them, and the Mediterranean bagel was also fresh and delicious. Quality-wise, they absolutely deliver. That said, the customer service unfortunately didn't match the level of the coffee. The cashier interaction felt curt and low-energy, and overall not very welcoming. When my husband asked about their most popular specialty drink, she mentioned the "Milky Way" and compared it to a Starbucks macchiato--which felt like an odd comparison for a specialty coffee shop that otherwise seems to take pride in its craft. More than anything, the interaction came across as disengaged and a bit uninterested, which stood out because places like this usually shine in both product and service. We'll likely still come back for the coffee and food, but I do think the service experience matters a lot--and this visit didn't quite meet expectations on that front.

The donuts were made to order, and I still remember the two young employees who worked there. They'd happily let you know it might take a few minutes because they wanted you to experience the product the way it was meant to taste. That kind of pride in what you're serving is rare, and it made a real impression. There's something different about that kind of enthusiasm coming from employees versus an owner. An owner has an obvious stake in selling you on something, but when the people making your food are genuinely excited for you to try it, that energy is contagious. You can't help but feed off of it. Fast forward to this year. My daughter loves coming here since we frequently visit the amazing Chinese restaurant next door (China Delight-highly recommend), so I've brought her a few times. Unfortunately, it's been a different experience. The donuts are always pre-made, and the focus seems to be more on cleaning and closing down than on having a fresh product ready for customers. To be fair, the staff is always friendly and I do appreciate a clean shop , but when I'm choosing between a spotless floor and a donut worth eating, I'd rather have the latter. I'll note that I usually come a bit after dinnertime, so maybe timing plays a role. But after a few visits with the same result, it feels more like a shift in priorities than bad luck. I genuinely hope this place finds its way back to what made it great. The bones are there. The location is great, the staff is kind, and clearly there's a customer base that wants to love this place. Bring back the fresh donuts and you'll earn those stars back!!

They are pre-made and stored in a glass case, unlike other places like Modo Hawaii that make them when you order. The donuts come in a nice box. They are large and dense and chewy, but weren't to my taste as I like them smaller and lighter, but that's just a personal preference. I'm not sure if I will go back, but I hope they do well at the Cottle location.
