So flavorful and perfectly made. Their salsa was also a standout--freshly made, and you can definitely taste the difference. It added the perfect kick to the burrito. We also had the black cold brew and an iced Mexican mocha, and both drinks were just as good. You know it's quality coffee when even the black cold brew has noticeable citrusy notes. Definitely coming back again!

I've been in about a dozen times and it has been great every time! You can tell they really put their hearts into their craft here at Brewja, especially with their recent remodel making it look like a boutique fashion shop, perfect to snap a quick pic for social media. Their premade drinks and the food/kitchen items to me are the star of the show. Their horchata coffee is the perfect balance and not too sweet. Their breakfast chorizo plate specials and breakfast burritos are also very good and a great value. The only area I would say feels a little expensive is their pastries and made-to-order drinks. I went in and purchased a spinach pastry, cheese danish, and a Mexican mocha and it set me back a solid $21+ dollars after tax. The pastries at ~$6 a pop and drink at ~$8 for a large really felt like a tad bit much for my budget. Also the avocado-toasts are tasty but at ~$13-15 they are a little pricey for my taste, and I pretty easily find myself spending ~$50-60 in here pretty quickly for a couple toasts, coffees, and a pastry. For these reasons I am not able to stop by as often as I would like. Nonetheless, Brewja has become a solid staple in this community and I highly recommend this coffee shop! It always buzzing with a crowd, but not in a way that would be off-putting. They also often have a resident third-party retro mobile flower cart that parks in front on various weekends and offers hand picked beautiful flowers and gives it a cool market vibe! I hope their prices come down a bit to allow the average Joe to be able to enjoy more often as well, but they're on the right track and they're a welcome addition to this particular neighborhood that I sometimes visit and doesn't have many other options available!

I stopped by Frodo's for a crepe and unfortunately it missed the mark for me. The customer service…read morewas great and my order came out quickly, but the crepe itself was crunchy and paper thin. I don't get crepes often, but I've always known them to be soft and tender, so this was surprising. By the time I got home about 20 minutes later, it just wasn't enjoyable. A side of pineapple and oranges were included, which was pretty mid -- I took a couple bites and tossed it. Bummer, because all I wanted was a good crepe. Hoping this was just an off day.

After dropping off the girls at an all-day playdate with their cousins in Hayward, my partner and I…read morestarted our no-kids date at a gorgeous coffee shop. I had been to the church before, but I didn't remember the massive coffee hangout there! It's so spacious and offers plenty of seating. How long has this place been here? I wish it were closer to where I live in San Jose! I could easily imagine sitting in one of the comfortable nooks, studying or grading papers. It's also a fantastic spot to meet up or chat with a group of friends. It was definitely a nice place for a date! When we walked in, there were hardly any available seats, but the line at the counter wasn't long. We found a quiet corner to sit and enjoyed our breakfast. I ordered a hot latte with maple syrup in the name, though I can't recall the exact name. It paired nicely with my pastry. The almond croissant I ordered was delectable, with just the right amount of sweetness and flakiness. My partner enjoyed his cappuccino and savory bacon croissant. We walked up two steps to the restroom and were surprised to find more seats and tables. I wish I had noticed that area when I was looking for a place to sit. Oh well, it was comfortable where we were. The girls should have more playdates with their cousins so we can come here more often. Is it really called a "playdate" when the kids are 12 and 15, and their cousins are between 21 and 30?

The salted maple latte was just ok... sadly it looked better than it tasted. I wasn't a huge fan of their espresso as it left a very sour after taste, even with the sweet maple syrup it wasn't very pleasant. Good espresso should be balanced and coffee forward, and I didn't get that. Almond croissant was great, but I was a bit disappointed in their coffee. Ambience is great for studying or getting some work done.
