    Came here after a trial dance class for lunch with a friend. Ordered the chicken salad sando which I quite enjoy and the coconut pistachio coffee. I love the different drink offerings they have and the quick sandwich convenience. Limited seating inside but plenty outside the cafe.

    i enjoy the drinks, pastries, and space very much here. it's a bit small, but never really busy enough that you won't get a seat. they also have retail parking in the back that is connected to the apartment building. the pastries here are my favorite, specifically the garlic cream bread. the matchas are good too. super friendly workers, they had brought out samples for a new drink they were testing out. i appreciate that and to me, shows that they care about customer feedback/satisfaction.

    Robu has been my go to place for banana cream pudding. I've tried many places and they are too sweet. We ordered two and were quite disappointed. This is not really an issue but the banana slices were already brown or we left it out a little too long (~15 minutes after delivery). We opened one, which tasted different (crumbs a bit soggy, banana a little slimy) from the previous. Then we looked at the other one and found the best by date. This is different from expiration date but would prefer a fresh or later best by date.

    Cherry Blossom Latte
    Tiffany T.

    I love cafes with unique drinks, and Robu Coffee is definitely one of them! I'm a huge fan of floral flavors, so I got the cherry blossom latte. The cherry blossom tasted like a more refined version of Gogurt. It was great and complemented well with the latte! There are some tables inside, but the space is small. We found a table outside under the shade. Really nice spot to just sip coffee and enjoy the California sun!

    Nice little coffee spot under an apartment complex, with extra seating outside - great for parties of 4 or less. They have a variety if drinks and Japanese-style "Sandos," and of course I went with the egg. The bread was a little too firm for my liking but it made sense for it to hold the heaping amount of delicious egg in the center. I loved the whole semi-firm egg yolk in the center too! I absolutely fell in love with the Nitro matcha drink; it had a strong tea flavor and it wasn't too sweet at all. I wish they sold it by the liter! The staff were friendly and promptly served us. The ambiance is pretty quiet despite some loud non-English bickering in the supply closet, which startled everyone. I'll still come back for another nitro matcha drink so they can keep the conflicts going, lol.

    Coconut Ube Coffee

    Robu Coffee is cute, and I love how many different crafted drinks they have, on top of different Japanese sando (sandwich) to pair with them. I found the drink and the sando I ordered to be okay. It was not horrible, but it didn't wow me as well. DRINKS: 7/10 FOOD: 7/10 SERVICE: 10/10 AMBIANCE: 8/10 What I ordered: Ube Coconut Cream Vietnamese Coffee Japanese Egg Sando DRINKS: 7/10 The Vietnamese coffee base was good with the coffee cream. The ube cream did not have a great ube taste and tasted powdery. The ube taste was very underwhelming, and I would just get the coconut cream and Vietnamese coffee next time. Lastly, it was a bit too sweet, and I will lower my sweetness next time, despite choosing a low sweetness level already. FOOD: 7/10 The egg sando was decent! The bread wasn't fluffy and soft, but not hard either. I've just had better sandos elsewhere but wouldn't mind getting it again. SERVICE: 10/10 The staff was nice and friendly, and the service was decently quick. I liked that their was a kiosk to order which helped me take my time to order and customize my preferences. AMBIANCE: 8/10 There was ample seating around, whether you prefer a table or a window seat. It was very clean inside as well.

    Less ice

    Ordered less ice, but was about 95% ice. Drink was good, but there may have only been an ounce of actual drink.

    Robu coffee provides a great option for folks who are craving matcha and Japanese sandwiches. I came here on a Saturday with my partner around 12, and it wasn't too busy. There are a couple of tables in the inside and a lot outside for you to sit! The cashier at the counter was very friendly and attentive. We waited around 10 minutes for our drinks, where we were able to take our sandwiches from the refrigerated portion of the case. It seems like there are sandwiches you can order where they will make it for you in the back, which I would like to try next time. Between me and my partner, here is what we got: * Sakura iced coffee: this exceeded my expectations! I thought the Sakura flavor came through without being too sweet and surprisingly the coffee did not overpower it and complemented it very well. * Banana matcha: this might be one of the first banana matchas I have had that did not taste artificial. I really like how they give you a small spoon shovel so you can eat some of the pudding top. So cute! * Egg sando: very yummy and they used the perfect amount of mayo. It was a light, delightful bite. * Strawberry sando: now this is the overall winner that stole my heart! This might be the best strawberry sando I had and I was surprised! Their strawberries were not only fresh and crisp, but the deep sweet vanilla bean flavor you got from the whipped cream was phenomenal! I usually do not care for strawberry sandos but this one got my attention! Overall, awesome place in Mountain View!

    Mixed Fruit Sando
    Amy K.

    Stopped by Robu Coffee and tried the Vienna matcha latte. It was a bit too sweet for my taste (I personally don't love overly sweet drinks), but my friends actually liked it, so I think it just depends on your preference. The cafe itself is pretty small but cute, with some outdoor seating which is nice on a good day. I'd come back to try their fruit sando next time!

    Traditional Vietnamese Coffee

    Pretty good, couldn't tase the coffee that much, nothing super special. Order on tablet, drinks came out super fast. It did the job.

    Came here for the sandwiches and i will continue coming back for the sandwiches. I've been missing some Japanese style sandwiches so this place I found on Yelp will be my fix for now. The sandwiches were yummy and the drinks were pretty strong which I love. It's a good place to grab some snacks and work remotely or even just to catch up with a friend. The cashier was extremely helpful when the tablet you can order from isn't working. The service is a bit slower but was probably due to them training someone that day. There's a small lobby area or you can sit outside!

    Robu Coffee is a cozy cafe that specializes in Asian-inspired drinks and sandos. I tried their Nitro Matcha and I really liked how it has a bold matcha taste, but I think I prefer a regular matcha latte because it's creamier. I also got some of their sandos and I really enjoyed how delicious and filling there were. The Chicken Salad and Tuna Salad sandos were savory and yummy while the Strawberry sando was creamy and has the perfect amount of sweetness. Be sure to get their sandos early since they run out quickly every day!!

    Best Japanese Egg Salad Sando ever
    Michael S.

    Robu Coffee is amazing. We live in Los Gatos and drive 25 min past maybe 100 other fancy coffee shops to get to Robu. Not all the time, but when we deserve it. The kids who work there are nice, and the place is cute and all, and the parking in the garage is annoying but fine... but the magic is what's on the menu. Both my wife and my daughter found their favorite Matcha drinks here - my wife loves the Nitro Matcha, which as she explained it to me uses a nitrogen extrusion to create a frothy velvety texture without milk. Not sure about the details but she craves it. My daughter loves the Vienna Matcha Einspanner. I love their Japanese Egg Sando, and last time I grabbed a "Banana Cream Can", which is a banana pudding in a plastic can with an aluminum pop top. So good!

    Love this place! Their "sandos" are fresh and tasty and their Matcha is really good. The only downside is that there's no parking.

    Hi, I am a huge fan of black sesame latte. Can I substitute Vietnamese coffee base with traditional espresso?

    Hi Cathy! We are more than happy to customize your coffee experience. Instead of a Vietnamese phin-dripped coffee base, you can request an espresso base. Thank you so much, and we hope to see you soon.

I was standing at the glass for a while before being acknowledged. Someone finally came over, and I asked if the Ube Black Sesame cookie was vegan since the display writing was a bit smudged.

My question: Is the brownie very rich? The response: It's like any other brownie. I'm not a fan of chocolate items that are super rich, and some brownies are fudgy, but some are more mild. I'd expect someone working there to be a bit more helpful and descriptive. I ended up not getting a brownie. Lowering my rating because the service was subpar, and the Ube flavor was nonexistent in the Ube Black Sesame cookie.

It's very pretty spot (though…read morethe lids and stuff as such are at an awkward spot from the pick up and trash bins. ) I had ordered a vanilla latter iced, strawberry matcha iced, doggy treat, and salted caramel mini muffin. The drinks were not good - at first I did not know they were out of the strawberry flavoring so I was offered to substitute with orange or vanilla and went with the safe route of vanilla. Wrong choice, the matcha itself was not good for the price. Both drinks were actually on the watery side but the coffee wasn't as bad as the matcha (I honestly drank the coffee with a mint flavored gum and it reminded me of the mint mojito from Philz - so I was able to drink it) The muffin I think was a little sweet but my partner actually really enjoyed it and I liked the size of it because it wasn't a lot but he was still able to enjoy it for what it was. The doggy treat was on the harder side but other than that my dog really enjoyed the treat which is saying something as she can be picky. Overall price for quality was too much imo especially since the drinks were really bad.
