    Order at the kiosk
    Nin J.

    Cute little coffee shop with a great vibe and charming decor. Ordering is easy through the two kiosk, which makes the process quick and convenient. The only downside was the wait time. Our drinks came out well before our bagel, and the bagel took so long that we ended up asking about it twice before it finally placed on the counter. Thankfully, both the drinks and the bagel were pretty good once we got them. Seating inside is somewhat limited since the space is small, but there is outdoor seating available, which helps. Overall, a cozy spot with good coffee, and friendly vibes. Just be prepared for a little extra wait if you order food.

    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!

    Great vibes. Decor is fancy. Lights above the counter and leather seats. Lots of seats. Staff is friendly. There are lots of workers and they answered all our questions. I got the banana coffee. Strong with a bit of sweetness. Wife got strawberry matcha which I would also recommend. The strawberry hits. If in the area I would com back

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Honeycomb Phin Drip Latte
    Kaylee T.

    I got the Wendy last time and it was too sweet for me. I got the Biscoff milk tea this time and I really like the foam however it is still too sweet and there's not much of a tea taste. I feel like there should be more options for sugar preferences. The honey garlic bagel was pretty good tastewise but it was a little too greasy and oily. The honeycomb phin drip coffee was pretty good but there's not much of a honey taste to it.

    Garlic bagel
    Yasmeen E.

    I drove 35 minutes for the garlic bagel and it was worth it! However with these gas prices I can't justify coming by often but they know what they're doing with these bagels!! The drinks were okay, unremarkable for a nearly $8 milk tea I would only come back for the bagel.

    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.

    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

    Cyndi L.

    Super cute aesthetic. I can see just based off that why it's so popular. But that's about it. The drinks are just mediocre and WAY over priced for what they are. Two drinks- one baby size and one regular...only one containing tea or coffee and hey we're over $20! Nothing special and not worth the cost.

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.

    The experience here used to be something special. About a year ago, I was a regular, and what kept…read moreme coming back was the freshness. 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!!

In addition to mochi donuts they sell hot dogs, coffee, and fruity tea. I was in the neighborhood so I stopped in for the first time on a Saturday afternoon. The shop was empty of customers; they must be busy in the mornings. They sell three donuts for $10.50, but they seemed to be out of quite a few flavors, so I ordered two chocolate and one Nutella. 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.

I asked the cashier if I could get plain apple juice, which wasn't on the menu, and she offered to make a fresh squeezed drink or one from store bought apple juice.

Occasionally burnt espresso but I love them too much to mind. I am a matcha snob to say the LEAST. Hands down best coffee shop matcha in the Bay Area. The classic iced matcha latte with honey is grassy and earthy and creamy and a little sweet. The iced banana pudding matcha latte had people lined up around the corner for months when it came out. It is deliciously worth the wait. Best banana cold foam in my opinion because it's made with actual bananas instead of flavoring so it's much more mellow. The double matcha they had for awhile is also awesome. Banana cold foam also goes great on an espresso latte. Now they let you add whichever cold foam you like to whatever drink which is great. Basically you can't go wrong. They are always changing up the menu for the new season and have lots of unique drinks on their menu. Not much seating inside at this location. The winchester Blvd one has more if that's what you're looking for. Their pastries are also all yummy and they sell their matcha powder for $60 for 100g which is a GREAT price for a great matcha.
