I've tried a new drink every time and they've all been good. I love sitting on their outdoor patio much more than the indoor seating Their Matcha drink (I'm not sure the exact name) was so so good. It was kind of a mix between a latte and a slushy. On the weekends, they have Shawarma and hookah with a live music. It's worth a try if you're in the area.

I love supporting pro-Palestinian businesses, so I decided to come to Finjan Coffee House. I looked…read moretheir menu online and was really excited to try their specialty drinks, but after arriving I found out that those drinks were only offered in the Bay Area locations. I was a bit sad because their drink selection is a bit small. However, they were very helpful in helping me pick out a drink and explaining what some of their other drinks were. The employee was talking on their phone a bit throughout the time I was there, but I didn't mind since I was still deciding on a drink and not ready to order. I got the mocha drink and the Finjan coffee. I enjoyed both but I think I liked the mocha drink more. They had a wide variety of dessert that looked amazing. I want to come back and try them one day! They were absolutely mouth-watering, but too early in the day for me to have sweets. Their coffee house is quite large, with a lot of seating. It seems like a nice place to study! I loved that they had murals outside and that the nearby outside seating was also lovely. There is a wonderful aesthetic inside the shop and in the plaza it is located in.

Updating my review because the owner responded kindly and I decided to give Temple another visit…read more While I still think their matcha program could be stronger, I had a latte with oat milk today and it was genuinely cozy and delicious. You can definitely tell coffee is where they shine. I also ended up purchasing 3 different bags of freshly roasted beans because they offer a really nice variety of coffee selections. I appreciate the customer service and willingness to receive feedback. Not every café responds with kindness or care, and that does make a difference in the overall experience. If you're a coffee lover, I can absolutely see why Temple has been around and well-loved for so long.

It's on the corner of a major intersection so it was definitely busy, and parking was a little limited when we went. The staff were really nice and patient with my dog, and even though the line looked long outside, everything moved pretty quickly. I was able to order and get my pastry and matcha fast which was nice. They were also really dog friendly and brought Bailey a water bowl plus a pup cup which she loved. I tried the new Sunny Side Matcha and honestly really liked it -- creamy, refreshing, and not too sweet. I also got the cinnamon raisin cinnamon roll. It wasn't really my favorite since it wasn't heated up and they don't have an oven to warm pastries, but it was still fun to try. Overall a really cute coffee spot to hang out at with your pup.

We came in here after a meeting with clients. I am so glad we stumbled upon this place…read more Inside, it was clean and bright with some gentle music playing setting the tone for a relaxing lunch. They have a small but unique menu and were willing to make a few small modifications to the dishes we ordered. I ordered the locks and cream cheese bagel that was beautifully presented with capers and thin sliced red onion on top. It was perfectly balanced for flavors and absolutely delicious. My wife ordered the baked brie sandwich. It came with thinly sliced apple, which perfectly balanced with the brie along with some arrugalula. My wife said this was the best brie sandwich she had ever had. They have several gourmet coffee and espresso drinks along with a beautiful selection of croissants and pastries. My wife is already planning on making this one of our regular spots. Welcome.If you're in the area, you should definitely give this place a try.It was very refreshing.

I ordered an iced oat milk latte with their homemade honey sweetener and an almond croissant. I wanted to try more of their food menu, but their kitchen does not officially open until 10 AM and I was there too early. The service was friendly and attentive. I was the only customer in there at the time, but it was nice to hear a little bit of their backstory. The space is clean and modern and definitely the sort of coffee shop. I would want to hang out and spend some time in. As for what I ordered, the latte was creamy and perfectly sweet without being overpowering. The almond croissant had a slightly overpowering almond extract flavor to it. If the almond extract was toned down a little bit, it would've been perfect. I look forward to coming back and trying more of their food menu at another time.

Hidden gem energy with a sandwich that almost spiritually attacked me…read more I genuinely was not expecting one of the best pastrami sandwiches I've had in a doctor's office building, but here we are. Roast & Grinds is tucked inside one of those professional medical office suites near the IVF facilities, and honestly? It's such a clean, cute setup that it immediately caught me off guard in the best way. The location feels polished, calm, and super professional without feeling cold or sterile. My husband actually found this place after specifically hunting for a good sandwich spot, and thank God he did because this sandwich changed the trajectory of my afternoon. The two girls working there were incredibly nice from the moment we walked in. I asked for a sample of the pastrami before committing, and instead of acting annoyed like some places do, they happily gave me one. The second I tasted it, I already knew I was done for. Then they heated the sandwich up fresh and absolutely put their foot in it. Now let's discuss the real plot twist here: the pepperoncinis. WHAT are they feeding those things?! Those were the hottest pepperoncinis I have ever had in my life, and somehow it made the sandwich even better. It was the kind of spicy where you pause mid-bite and reconsider your decisions... and then immediately go back for another bite anyway. "Hurts so good" is honestly the only way to describe it. Everything tasted fresh, the bread held up perfectly, and the whole experience felt surprisingly elevated for a tucked-away little café inside a business suite. Also, small detail that I personally appreciated: being connected near medical and wellness offices while still serving genuinely fresh, satisfying food just makes sense. It feels intentional instead of greasy or slapped together. Parking was easy, the entrance was simple to find right on the corner, and the whole experience was smooth from beginning to end. Only reason I'm doing 4 stars instead of 5 is because I want to try more of the menu before I fully marry myself to this place emotionally. But trust me: I will absolutely be back for that pastrami sandwich and those violently delicious pepperoncinis.

No thanks.

Love the car theme! Please note: street parking Drinks: Vietnamese nitro coffee -not your traditional Vietnamese coffee except for the condensed milk aspect.

The menus were easy to see from the counter but they also had QR codes if there was a super long line. The service was very friendly and accommodating. I had the realistic apple dessert and it was as delicious as it was pretty! Not overly sweet and was so smooth in texture. I could have ordered 5 more. The French dip sandwich was savory with a delicate baguette and the au jus was so savory. The iced matcha is now in my top 3 matches in sac! So creamy and a balanced matcha taste with its sweetness. Looking forward to my next visit!

However, this visit was disappointing because of my interaction with one of the employees. While I was looking at the menu, he came over to help, and I asked a few questions about the salads because I wasn't sure what each one included. Instead of feeling helped, I felt rushed and talked down to. His tone came across as impatient and dismissive, and it made me feel uncomfortable asking simple questions. Everyone is unfamiliar with a menu at some point, and I left that interaction feeling like my questions were an inconvenience rather than something he was happy to help with. The food, on the other hand, was great. The ciabatta sandwich is one of my favorites and is always a reason I come back. The matcha is usually amazing as well. I love how creamy and smooth it normally is with oat milk, and it's honestly one of the best matchas I've had. This time, though, it tasted much grassier and more bitter than usual, which was a little disappointing. For dessert, I tried the strawberry mousse dessert with a chocolate shell and strawberry filling. The mousse and strawberry filling were delicious, flavorful, and not overly sweet. The only part I didn't enjoy was the outer chocolate shell, which was a little too bitter for my taste and overpowered some of the other flavors. Overall, the food was still very good, but the service left a negative impression. I enjoy Estelle's and will likely return, but I hope future visits involve friendlier and more welcoming customer service.

Momma runs the café alongside her family, and you can taste the care that goes into every item. The pastries are outstanding. We tried the baklava, a specialty Neapolitan pastry, and a delicious cream-filled pastry topped with crushed Biscoff cookies and cream. Each one was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. For lunch, we ordered the Chicken Pesto Panini, the Tri-Tip Chimichurri Sandwich, and the Tri-Tip Southwest Salad. Every dish was generously portioned, fresh, and packed with flavor. The specialty sandwiches and salads are definitely worth coming back for. They also serve Pete's Coffee and have a high-end espresso machine for anyone needing a quality caffeine fix. The café is open for breakfast and lunch until 3 PM, so be sure to come early. The interior is lovely, with plenty of seating for groups, easy-to-read digital menu boards, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The staff was friendly and made us feel right at home. If you're looking for great food, amazing pastries, excellent coffee, and genuine hospitality, Cafe 33 is a must-visit.
