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.
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!
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!!
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!
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!
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!
The experience was dissapointing overall. I tried the Vietnamese coffee and found it to be way too sweet, which masked any actual coffee flavor. The espresso isn't great either... I had to dilute it with oat milk. The service is a bit awkward. It has a self service kiosk but I had to ask someone to order.
First time here... Service 3.5/5 The workers (2 of them) were busy making orders so we really were not greeted. You can order via the kiosk there so we did. Ambiance 3/5 Very small location with a few tables inside. They do have tables outside Decor for shop was ok. Nothing popping out at you. Coffee 4/5 Very decent Vietnamese coffee. We orders just Traditional Vietnamese Coffee and a Egg Coffee. Both were orders with 50% sweetness which is their default but I would probably ask for 25% because the 50% was a little too sweet for me. Overall the place is 3.5/5. I would go back but would not go out of my way if I was not in the area (I live in San Mateo)
I'm sorry, but this place is a no for me. They have amazing reviews, so it's possible I went on an off day, but my sister and I really did not enjoy the drinks we got. We ordered the strawberry calamansi fizz and a strawberry matcha, and neither was a winner for us. I can see how people would like the calamansi fizz, but we just didn't. The strawberry matcha, on the other hand, tasted a bit oxidized and bitter/grassy. I wish we had a better experience, as it's a very cute spot with a lot of variety. Hopefully it was just an off day & maybe I'll try it again one day but I probably wouldn't go out of my way to go back.
Another day, another banana matcha latte. This wasn't my favorite latte, I think it has something to do with the matcha smell/flavor. Maybe too earthy for me? BUT the banana pudding was so good. I love that they use fresh banana and Nilla wafers. Points for presentation too. I got oat milk and less sweet. Less sweet is the way to go. It's a little on the pricey side for a matcha, $7.95, plus $.80 for oat milk. They have lots of options for drinks and to eat. The sandos looked delicious. They also have their banana pudding canned and I'm sad I didn't get one. I ordered on a kiosk and it was made very quickly. Workers were polite. The parking is tricky if you've never been here. It's a small drive way next to the convenience store so don't miss it (like I did). Parking was easy, but the garage is very dark. Lots of indoor and outside seating so bring your furry friends.
one of my fave new coffee spots in south bay! i've tried the black sesame latte and salted coffee (vietnamese coffee) and both were strong and flavorful. i got less sweet and found it to be perfect. there's parking in the parking garage next door. employees are super sweet. only downsize is not much inside seating so not the most comfy to work from or chat with a friend, but solid drinks and i'm excited to try more drinks.
Came here around 2:15 pm with my girlfriend on a Tuesday. Was not really packed at all, few people. Some bakery & sandwiches were already sold out but there was plentiful left, I imagine everything would be empty on the weekend. You can grab the sandwiches in the open fridge, the rest will be brought out when they call your name for your order. You order on the kiosk and the menu is pretty straightforward, lots of option. Chicken salad sandwich: pretty good, I love sliced almonds so this was good. Tuna salad sandwich: average tuna salad sandwich, nothing too fancy but pretty okay. Garlic bread bun: we got this heated and I'm not too fond of heated cream cheese but it was good overall. Banana cream in a can: super flavorful and delicious, I actually really liked it! Coconut Ube Vietnamese coffee: super strong and I would say it is more strong than flavored if you want something sweet you should get the regular coffees they have, not phin coffee. Matcha nitro: super good, not bitter at all and honestly tastes really well for nitro. I used to go to the pop up in Sunnyvale and this place was really good, I wish they had black sesame again, I used to get that all the time and it really balanced out the phin coffee. Overall, it was really good, I recommend for a good nice coffee shop!
Good quality drinks and food! I got the seasonal banana pudding matcha latte and tamago sando. The sando was perfectly assembled. The milk bread was really good, soft with just a little bit of chew. I really enjoyed it but pretty pricey at $13. The banana pudding matcha latte came with a small wooden spoon to scoop out the pudding. It was tasty, fun and decadent, but I couldn't really taste any matcha. read more

We ordered 3 sandos- Truffle hamu, Japanese Egg Salad , Mixed Fruit. I love the soft and fluffy bread they make it with. Its very light. I liked the japanese egg sando the most. The mixed fruit felt like a little cake. Very creamy and fresh. For the drinks we got the Strawberry Matcha Latte, Banana Pudding Matcha Latte, Vienna Einspanner Latte, and Yuzu Matcha Fizz. Im more of a matcha person so i loved their strawberry matcha latte & the banana pudding! I would come back read more

Tried the Egg Coffee and Banana Pudding Matcha Latte--both unique and delicious. The egg coffee was rich and frothy, while the banana pudding latte was creamy with a fun twist on matcha. Service was friendly. There are both indoor and outdoor seating. Robu stands out for its creative specialty drinks you won't find at typical coffee shops. read more
Robu Coffee do Vietnamese Coffee right ! I love the option to "craft your own"(meaning you can add toppings to your liking) For me a perfect Vietnamese Coffee is iced less sweet and has a salted cream foam, yum! I ordered through DoorDash and even then the quality is spot on. I am really happy I found another spot to get a good Vietnamese iced coffee. I regret not getting a sandwich because they seem pretty popular. Next time though. read more

Really fantastic matcha!!! The matcha yuzu fizz was perfect. The matcha itself tasted SO good. My friend got the earl grey matcha and it also tasted delicious -- the matcha and earl grey flavors were well balanced! read more

Cute little coffee shop along El Camino. I've had drinks from here a handful of times and I'm finally making a review. My first visit was when they had the pop-up in Sunnyvale sometime last year and I tried the Egg Coffee. It was very strong, and the egg foam was pretty good even though it didn't sit well with my stomach. After they moved to Mountain View, I always ordered the Matcha Einspanner and I love it. I like how it wasn't overly sweet. This time I wanted to try something new and saw they now have a Banana Pudding Matcha Latte, which is trending right now. I decided to give it a try, and I have to say it's soooo good. The balance of banana pudding and matcha is perfect. The matcha was still strong and the drink wasn't very sweet. Service was a bit slow because there were two people who ordered after us and they got their drinks before we did. It seemed like one of the workers knew the customer and prioritized them first, which is why I took off one star from the review. read more
Finding the coffee shop was a little confusing. Good thing I checked their Instagram to find parking because I would have not known where to park. I have been wanting to try their drinks for awhile. I saw many pictures and decided on the coconut ube coffee. When I went inside, the inside is pretty small. There is seating both inside and outside. They have a kiosk you can order. When I went in, the workers didn't greet me and I guess were too busy stocking and doing other things. I ordered my drink at the kiosk and also got an egg sandwich. My drink came out pretty quick. I sat down to enjoy my drink and sandwich. I'd give the drink and sandwich solid 3 stars. My first experience wasn't the best nor the worst but I didn't get a very friendly vibe here. read more
Found out about this place from a company event. I sampled their vienna coffee, cherry blossom coffee, and egg coffee before, and my fav was the vienna coffee! I liked the cream on the top. The retail parking lot is a bit hidden, so might miss it and need to make u-turns to go back. I came to the physical store this time and got the marble coffee, which is a less caffeinated, creamier twist on the traditional viet coffee. Viet coffee is usually too strong for me, so this was a great alternative for me! My friend thought their viet coffee wasn't strong enough though. There were seatings inside and it looked like a nice place for a hangout! They also sell some pastries and sandwiches! read more

DEFINITELY check their IG post for tips on parking. They have 2 hour retail parking in an adjacent garage and accessing the store was very easy. The interior is much smaller than expected, but there was ample seating outdoors. You can either order with staff or at the self-ordering kiosk. I wanted to try the pho coffee but they were sold out. I ended up ordering the egg coffee instead with 25% sweetness, and it was still a tad too sweet for me. I took a few sips, but ultimately took it home to fix myself. If you like sweet drinks, this might be the place for you. read more
I've had Robu Coffee bookmarked for a while due to their sandos and ube latte on the menu and finally had an opportunity to stop by with my parents on a Friday afternoon. I'm not quite sure where you are suppose to park if you would like to chill at this coffee spot. There was a good amount of cars parked along the front of the coffee shop, but a cop was actively there giving parking tickets so be careful if you decide to do a "quick stop". I opted for their ube coffee and didn't realize the base was a Vietnamese coffee so I ended up giving it to my dad to finish as it was too strong for me. I also bought their egg salad sandwich and strawberry sandwich while I was here and both were okay, but not the best and prices were kind of steep. Overall, I think it's a decent spot if you're into Vietnamese coffee. read more

Points for the creativity. They have an extensive menu: fun matcha flavors and einspanner and vienna lattes. They do at lot right at face value, but I don't think they are outstanding at anything. Their signature drink was just okay. Not bad, but not good; it barely made the $7 price tag reasonable (aka it was drinkable.) The espresso used is a little strong, a striking aroma that is horrible on its own and is better when the cream top is fully mixed into it to cover it up. I was disappointed because if something is labelled on the menu as a signature drink, I expect it to be the best drink that they have. Ordering is done at the kiosk, very minimal contact with the baristas. There was no line when I arrived and there were only a couple sandwiches left in the fridge that didn't look that fresh so I decided against trying it. The indoor seating is a little cramped. They have outdoor seating but they don't have enough shade. Crowded on a Sunday around 3:30pm, definitely not the best place to get work done on your laptop, but I saw valiant effort by a few to do so. Street parking is atrocious; neighboring plazas have towing signs if you're not there for their businesses. They have some garage parking, but there are no clear signs pointing to it. Wouldn't have known about it if it weren't for other reviews. Overall, I think they have the right ideas and still need to work on the execution. read more

I'm always on the hunt for a banana matcha and Robu Coffee's banana matcha did not disappoint! The sweetness and creaminess of the pudding paired well with the matcha, however I wish the matcha was a tad bit stronger. I do like the millibars and the actual banana chunks in the pudding! My husband got the egg coffee. The coffee was perfectly strong and the egg topping was delicious! One downside of the location is the parking is tricky. But overall the fun and delicious drinks are def a must try! read more

Robu Coffee is such a gem in Mountain View. The space is cozy, the service is warm, and the menu is full of creative drinks and fluffy Japanese-style sandos. The two standouts for me were the Coconut Ube Coffee and the Japanese Egg Salad Sando. The ube coffee is creamy and balanced with just the right sweetness, and the egg sando is perfectly fluffy and rich. Together they make the ultimate combo. read more

TLDR: Delicious drinks, lots of Asian-inspired flavors. Indoor and outdoor seating. Not many outlets. Retail parking available but limited. --------------------------- 1. Atmosphere On the smaller side, but big street-facing windows let in a lot of natural light. More minimalistic in color / decorations. Good music taste, but the music is a little on the louder side, so calls may need to be taken outside. A bonus point is it's next door to a dog care center, so you'll see lots of cute doggos! 2. Drinks / Food (this is a verryyy belated post so I don't remember the details too well, apologies ) a. Black Sesame Latte - 8/10, good! but imo I'd add another shot b. Vienna Einspanner Matcha Latte - 9/10 - loved the cream! Was a thick layer but still very light / airy c. Coconut Pandan Latte - 8.5/10 - loved the pandan! couldn't taste too much coconut d. Coconut Ube Coffee - 9/10 e. Dirty Matcha Latte - 9.5/10 3. Amenities There's indoor + outdoor seating, max 4 at a table. Has wifi and a very clean restroom. Lots of outlets, but they're rlly only accessible at the high bar, not at the tables. Street parking can be difficult, but there's a parking garage btwn Robu and Circle K where I've always found space. Overall love the Asian-inspired flavors - robu has definitely become one of my go-to cafes to work from home! read more

This might be my new favorite coffee spot, just wish it was closer to home :( it's small, maybe 5 tables total, but service was good. Menu is a little hard to read for us elderly folk, ya know. Their coconut pandan latte was fragrant and delicious! The best I've tried so far, where the pandan is strong and creamy, and the coffee doesn't just overpower it. The black sesame latte wasn't too bad either, but the black sesame flavor just blends with the coffee and isn't too strong compared to pandan. All the sandos looked really good. I got the egg sando and it's just okay. A little plain, but plenty of egg. I'll have to try the fruit ones next. read more

Jumped in on the banana matcha latte bandwagon and it was fantastic here! I was looking for something more dessert-like and this one fit that well. The drink had real bananas in it along with banana pudding that was smooth, not too sweet, and the banana flavor actually complemented the matcha really well. You can tell they use quality ingredients. Parking, though, is definitely tricky. As others have mentioned, the front is basically blocked off because of the bike lane and road traffic, so plan ahead or be ready to circle the block. Worth the hassle for the drink, though. Would definitely come back to try more flavors! read more
I was in the area and wanted some coffee. I saw this place had very interesting flavors that I was eager to try. This place is somewhat like Vietnamese style coffee shops, so it's very similar to other Viet coffee shops. Cherry Blossom Latte (4/5): Unfortunately the espresso machine was broken, so they just put the cherry blossom cream over the phin coffee. The cream was great, but I wish it was stronger. The coffee was good. I hope to come back next time with the espresso machine fixed. read more

@robu.coffee in Mountain View is viral for a reason Their banana pudding in a can is the best we've ever had and we've had plenty. We finally visited to try their new nitro coffe series and we will absolutely be back. Their nitro matcha is so unique and @d_baylock_ loved their classic nitro cold brew Their egg salad sandwich is also super tasty. Definitely visit if you're ever around Mountain View #foodie #bayarea #coffee #matcha #bananapudding read more
Not bad! I came here with a friend and tried a bunch of drinks and two sandos. The tuna salad and mixed fruit sandos were nice! They were light sandos but well prepared. The fruits used in the mixed fruit sandos were so sweet and juicy! As for the drinks, nothing stood out it in particular. As a non-coffee drinker, I can't say much about the coffee. I did think it tasted different than the usual coffee and was extra strong. The owner said they grow the coffee beans on a family farm which is cool! The matcha is what I thought was a bit lacking. I don't know if it's because we got oat milk but the milk seemed to overpower the matcha. It just tasted like milk. Sweetness levels were also inconsistent. The shop itself has high ceilings with some seating both inside and outside. Workers were really nice and patient. You'll have to find street parking for this location. Overall, might come back for the sandwiches! read more

This cafe is pretty small with a couple tables indoors & outdoors and bar table with charging ports. There's street parking nearby the cafe and service is friendly here. We got the coconut pandan latte and egg coffee, both the flavors were on point. You can really taste the coffee here because the drinks have double espresso shots and it perfectly balances the sweetness in the drinks too. This place is not lacking on flavor anywhere and is a great craft coffee spot. read more
I'm a changed woman! I noticed they opened their official storefront close to my residence. I figured this was an opportunity to try them again, since I really enjoyed their flavors. Given my past experience with them, it was natural to feel a little hesitation as to what the final outcome would be. They've definitely improved the ordering experience overall! Before having their official storefront, their previous shop used to be overkill with the ice levels in drinks. This has improved considerably now, and their normal drinks have just the right amount of ice in them now! There are some drinks where you can even adjust ice levels, but they are explicit with the lower drink volumes coming out. And their drinks are just as delicious as ever, with their Asian-inspired coffee and matcha offerings. When I came by, I noticed they were super busy, between the orders coming in and the delivery drivers picking up orders. If you're coming at peak times, definitely give yourself at least 10-20 mins to wait, because it can get backed up! They also have some delicious sandwiches, such as their Japan egg sando and Strawberry sando - I might try one of these next time. But for now, can't wait to try more of their drinks! read more

Quite delicious, better than I would thought. Stopped by to get some caffeine and Japanese snacks for the road. Cute small corner coffee place with ceiling to floor glass window. Small or tiny seating area 4 tables very close together. Menu is simple but does deliver what they're about. You ordered and adjust your drinks to your liking via KIOSK and of course no cash, card only. Coffee makers are nice. It's might take abit to get your order since it's busy but worth it. The foods are really good, fluffy and yummy. Overall, quite good and glad that we came. read more
Robu Coffee is a fun café with a variety of drinks and some complementary snacks. The staff is friendly and the vibes are spot-on. Starting with the drinks, Robu has quite the breadth of options, from classic espresso-based drinks to Vietnamese coffee to matcha to specialty lattes. You will probably find something that calls to you. Regarding the quality, they are usually good, though none of them have become a "favorite." The foams could be more strongly-flavored, in particular the pandan and ube. (I'm really happy they offer these flavors, at least, since they aren't common in cafés.) I've only tried one food option, the strawberry sando, and it was enjoyable. The bakery items seem as diverse as the drinks, so they are definitely something I plan to buy. Since they are close to my house, I will probably keep returning to appreciate the menu and to support local businesses. read more
Tried Robu coffee for the first time on a Friday around noon and the place was pretty full with folks chatting/working inside! ~The Drinks~ - Vienna Einspanner Latte ($6.95): Signature espresso with milk topped with house-made cream and cocoa powder. I totally forgot to adjust the sweetness, so this drink was a bit too sweet for my taste but it was pretty good! This was one of the recommend drink from the staff, so I wanted to give this a try. I really liked that the espresso wasn't too bitter or acidic. I'm not a fan of acidic espresso, so it was just perfect for me. The house made cream topping was also really delicious! I do think that the overall drink was on the sweeter side, but it seems that we can adjust the sweetness, so I'll definitely try to remember that next time! It seems they have a variety of other coffee based and matcha based drinks so I would definitely like to try the others next time! ~Pricing~ I do think it's a bit pricey (with most drinks being $7-8), but I think it's worth it to support local businesses! ~Parking~ Seems parking isn't the most plentiful, especially with the location being on a busy street, but there seemed to be open street parking spots. read more
This coffee shop has replaced zombie runner and we're so glad!! The interior is clean with lots of seating compared to before ( there was no seating at zombie runner). They have a myriad of drink options including matcha, lattes, and non-coffee drinks. At first i thought Robu was more a boba place but it is more coffee and matcha with non-coffee drinks. Has a Vietnamese fusion with viet coffee and pandan/coconut flavors. I got the matcha bc thats what i usually drink. The matcha tastes (the only way i can describe it) more ceremonial than uji if that makes sense. It's not izumi matcha flavor but it was still pretty good. I dont usually like cream in top with the espinner but it was closest to a normal matcha. My bf tried the robu signature latte and said he expected something different as it came with grass jelly which he doesnt like and more viet coffee milk tea flavor? But we still enjoyed and i liked taking sips of it. Also ordered the garlic bun and japanese egg sando. The garlic bun is with a lil soggy bun and not bagel which i've tried before and looks similar. Wasn't as good as that but i liked the rich cream and garlicy bread. The japanese sando was pretty good as well, i likes the ample egg inside and i def liked this more bc more protein. A tiny salty but not too much. Overall had a great experience, the manager was cheery and asked about the tastes and my bf went back the next day to try a different latte. I also want to try some new drinks and happy it's so close to my bf's place! read more
This place is a cute little family run coffee shop with decent amount of seating indoors and two tables outdoors by the new apt complex and the doggy daycare. Street parking (parallel on El Camino) seemed the most popular--I was able to snag a spot in the retail parking garage behind the doggy daycare. Strawberry matcha latte: interesting that they add condensed milk! I switched to oat milk, which is $0.80 more, but the drink was still exceptionally thick. One of the better strawberry matcha lattes I've had! It's definitely on the sweeter side. Matcha latte: this takes like cereal milk.... Extremely sweet, and matcha flavor wasn't very prominent. Does not taste like any other matcha latte I've had, which boils down to it being a preference thing. They have a unique menu, so I'd be down to come back and try other menu items! read more
What I liked about Robo coffee is that they had a coffee drink with black sesame. The black sesame drink was not too sweet had actual pieces of black sesame, and hit the earthy notes that I was looking for. Their coffee is very strong as expected so if that's what you're looking for come here. As for the strawberry sandwich, the cream seems to hold up for a very long time and has vanilla bean in it, which was a very nice touch. The bread itself was very pillowy and the strawberries were sweet due to it being close to summer. We would come again. read more
cute little coffee place tucked inside an apartment building, there is limited parking, and the indoor seating is small. They have really good sandos, as I tried their tuna sando. As well as some good options for coffee and matcha. Their Vietnamese egg coffee, was said to be sold out on their self-order screen. But was available to order in person, which I found a bit odd. But their coffee was amazing, perfect strong and sweet. read more
Friendly service. I didn't know what to get since this place has so many options. I got the Vienna Einspanner Latte. This is delicious. Lots of foam on top and very sweet, not too sweet, strong and creamy. I'll be back. read more
This shop is tucked underneath an apartment complex. There's a small retail parking garage available and some street parking. Had I come in the afternoon on a weekend I probably would have struggled to find a spot to park. The interior's quite small, but I am glad they've got some tables outside. There's a wide selection on their menu. I came to try the cherry blossom latte and personally the flavor from the cherry blossom cream top wasn't strong. It was a more subtle flavor and because of the creaminess the drink texture wasn't pleasant. The coffee flavor wasn't as pronounced, it definitely tasted more like a milk shake than coffee. I wanted to love it, but it was just alright. My sister tried their pandan latte and she had a somewhat similar experience. I'd like to try their other specialty lattes to give this shop another shot. They also have some pastries and fruit sandwiches which looked great. The price per sandwich averaged ~$12. The specialty drinks averaged ~$7-$8. read more

This is all for my strong coffee lovers. I ordered an iced coconut pandan latte. Regular ice. Single shot only, no toppings, and almond milk as my substitution. The presentation of the drink itself is how it looks like on the menu in person / online. (Yes, they do online pick up.) The flavor of the drink is great. After I mixed it, immediately you can taste how strong it is with just a single shot. The coconut shreds they put on top of the foam gives it more of a coconut taste since it will soak in the flavor in your coffee. Definitely, I think a strong drink like this will satisfy your day and get you going. Previously, my girlfriend and I had came to robu just for the Sandos, but there wasn't much options since they were short on the bread. (If I may remember correctly) As I came back, they had the strawberry, mixed fruit, tuna, and egg salad Sando as a good variety of choices. I was tempted to get a strawberry sando, but I was mainly in for the coffee. It is a small coffee shop. Nice outdoor seating where it's quiet at times to enjoy. They play good chill / relaxing music. Workers are nice, greeted me with a warm "hi welcome in". Be prepared for a small tucked away parking garage. Some spots are empty unless you get lucky. read more
Stopped by for coffee after lunch last Sunday. We came at around 2:30pm. Parking can be limited as I don't think there's a lot. My bf and I found street parking, and my brother parked down the street in the Whole Foods plaza. I love the drink selection here, especially the different foams that they offer. I was stuck between the Cherry Blossom Latte and Coconut Pandan Latte. The person taking our orders recommended the Coconut Pandan Latte, so I ended up choosing that. The Coconut Pandan Latte was really good. The pandan foam mixed well with the coffee and created a creamy texture. I didn't care for the coconut flakes too much. I could've done without them, but that's just a personal preference. I asked for less sweet, and it was perfect. I would definitely want to come here again in the future and try their other drinks. read more

Tried this place when it first opened. It was hard to find parking because of its location but we eventually found it. There was no line but the drinks took a while to make. We got a Pandan Latte and a Banana Matcha Latte. The drinks were decent, nothing too extravagant but the presentation was definitely there. This place would be nice to study at but it's quite small with limited space. The customer service was great and the employees were very nice. Probably stop by if in the area since the drinks were decent price. read more

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.
