I was eating next door on a Sunday afternoon and saw lots of people going in and coming out with…read moredelicious looking matcha drinks. I watched their reactions when taking the first sip, it was a lot of head nodding and thumbs upping to their friends so I felt like I had to go in and try for myself. Went in and ordered an earl gray matcha and my partner ordered a passion mango tea w boba. The matcha & the passion fruit was so good! The boba was chewy and sweet. I would definitely recommend coming and trying! I really wanted to try their strawberry matcha but I'm always so skeptical (I have trust issues w bad strawb matchas) but the earl gray was good, so maybe I'll try next visit. The interior was nice, menu was straight forward on the wall and on the check out table -- only thing is the description of the drinks weren't shown on the menus until you're on the self check out kiosk. I was curious about the sunny side up matcha thinking it was made with real egg yolk (which I thought kinda weird?) but the kiosk said that it was mango. You didn't really talk to staff at all & the drinks came out pretty fast! Would come back again.

Inconsistent spot. My first visit was on 6/3, and I ordered the matcha einspanner--it was honestly…read moreone of the worst matchas I've had. I later found out they closed that same day due to some kind of sewage/health inspection issue, so I decided to give them another chance after they reopened, especially since friends recommended their other locations. My visits since then have definitely been better. My go-to is now the Double Matcha at 50% sweet. It has a strong matcha flavor, is creamy, and is really good when made right. I definitely won't be getting the matcha einspanner again though. The biggest issue is consistency. Not every visit tastes the same, but when it's good, it's good. The shop also sometimes has a noticeable bathroom/cleaning chemical smell, which isn't the most pleasant when you're sitting inside.

This location has cute outdoor seating in the back, plus a small indoor seating area that's good for chatting or getting some work done for a short period of time. I've been to the Palo Alto location too, but I personally like the taste at the Burlingame location better! Palo Alto definitely has way more seating though.

My sister-in-law suggested a matcha 'dessert' after lunch one afternoon. She and her girls know the…read morebest coffee, matcha and sweets places around. I had never even heard of Goodthing Coffee until she mentioned it. She recommended the Urban Angel so I followed her lead and ordered the same. The menu didn't provide much detail on what exactly the drinks consisted of so be sure to ask if you have any allergies. The Urban Angel arrived with crushed pistachios sprinkled on top of some creamy sweet concoction. We were given spoons to eat up the top before sipping the matcha underneath. The drink was delectable but a bit rich and heavy. It was good, would've been better if I wasn't so full from lunch. I also don't know if I'd regularly pay $9.50 for a drink.

They had one table for 4 that they marked as "reserved" b it apparently it was for a party like us that couldn't fit around the tables for 2. The staff was friendly and took our orders. We all got the Breakfast Bowl! Help yourself to a mason jar to grab some water. It was cute and very refreshing! I did love it! But me being the piglet that I am wished it was more. Love the poached eggs and the mixture of quinoa with roasted veggies, feta cheese and avocado. After I ate the eggs, I spritzed the lemon on the dish and it added a vibrant pop to the meal. My friends didn't finish theirs but I finished mine! So why 4 and not 5. Just wish the bowl was a bit more substantial but it was definitely tasty!

I made sure to give Maison Alyzeé the positive credit it has earned every visit Maison Alyzeé croissants Rock My world! Today was another round of perfect service, and a beautiful location in Burlingame California while sitting at the window watching the good people and doggos. Easy parking front and back. Easier in the back or on a side street. Regularly maintained CLEAN bathroom you can send your child into alone with confidence. Free Wi-Fi if you need it. Seating inside and out. With a chill vibe at the sidewalk tables. And a vibrant hubub of social experience at the inside tables. Various delicious coffees made in a manner I found ready to consume without any need of embellishments. Seasonal menu additions keep Maison Alyzeé offerings fresh and interesting. I recommend this place. You will want to enjoy Maison Alyzée too!

The prosciutto and fig jam toast stands out to me because the saltiness of the prosciutto is balanced with the sweetness of the fig jam. The cafe uses ACME Sour Bâtard for their toasts, so quality of the bread is superb. The matcha rose latte was really good, I asked for less sweet, which I prefer, and the drink wasn't bitter because of the adjustment. The waffle sampler was a sweet treat to share. The strawberry ricotta was my favorite, the fruit was perfectly ripe and a touch of honey for some natural sweetness for the waffle. The ambience is super cute and great for IG pictures. Service is great - the servers and cashiers are nice.

Great big windows with lots of light and chairs. Drinks are expensive, not gonna lie, but I think it's worth it since they have to pay staff and rent. My strawberry soda drink tasted good and they have handmade lemonade for $8 and also coffee which my coworkers got. They also have food and pastries if you're hungry, or grab a board game or rent one to pass the time!

Sama Coffee Shop in San Mateo understands that a café can be more than a place to consume coffee;…read moreit can be an exercise in atmosphere and appetite. The room is quietly elegant, its Middle Eastern influences expressed through considered décor rather than theatrical excess. There is an appealing sense of decorum here; a place designed to encourage lingering rather than turnover. The coffee is similarly assured. Turkish coffee possesses the requisite depth and bitterness, while the rose-cardamom-honey latte introduces floral sweetness and spice with admirable restraint. The pastries and sweets--particularly the baklava and kunafeh--provide a luxurious counterpoint without descending entirely into confectionery excess. At roughly $10-$20 per person, Sama occupies a sensible price point for an experience that feels considerably more considered than the average neighborhood coffee shop. Sama is, ultimately, a café with a point of view and that is increasingly rare. The service was designed to provide you with a feeling that you're like a beloved family member. Eager to answer all questions asked and make you feel like you're at home.

The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, making it a good place to sit for a bit and enjoy a drink and something sweet. Overall, I would say our experience was fine. The coffee and dessert were good, but nothing really stood out enough that I would make a special trip from the South Bay to San Mateo just to come here. That said, if you're already in the area and looking for a casual coffee spot with some Turkish-inspired treats and a relaxed atmosphere, it's definitely worth stopping by.

It's twice baked so the flaky croissant layers desiccate and crisp a bit to remind me of baklava phyllo dough, but with buttery goodness. It perfectly sandwiches flavorful, sweet raspberry jam and chunky pistachio butter. There's a small amount of seeds from the raspberry to give a nice texture, but not enough to be distracting. Very aesthetically pleasing with freeze-dried raspberry dust sprinkled on top and pistachio frangipane. The avocado toast is on this wonderfully crusty sourdough that is a joy to munch on, forming a solid foundation to this dish. The avocado is fresh and buttery, with a generous amount of feta punctuating this dish. Finely diced shallots add a layer of mild allium flavor. Microgreens add visual interest. Yum!
