    Trying something new for Free Mod Monday!
    Megha R.

    I've been frequenting this Starbucks for over a year and the good far outweighs the bad. Every time I walk in the door I'm greeted warmly. The staff here are very friendly and welcoming. They recently upgraded their interior decor and design, while adding more seating options. This is definitely a plus. I regularly order cappuccinos and matcha lattes and they are consistent with the way both drinks are made. A couple of times in the past they've gladly remade my drinks for free, when they weren't up to par. Bathrooms are usually cleaner than most other Starbucks. Overall, I'm pretty happy with their quality and consistency. In fact, I'll be back tomorrow!

    The worst combination substitution ever....

    Today was not a good Starbies day. I ordered a 1/3 decaf cortado with coconut milk, extra foam and cinnamon powder. It is literally undrinkable. It has a burnt taste and is just so bad. This $5+ drink is going in the garbage. Wow. I normally love the cortado but today something is wrong. Bad milk maybe? I don't know but . The photo is one sip. I order it in a tall cup for room for extra foam. ‍

    Light ice? More than half my cup is filled with ice

    I'm not sure what baristas don't understand when I ask for light ice, not only is my coffee not filled all The way to the top, it's mainly ALL ICE. This is very upsetting

    A nice and sleek Starbucks right by City Hall and 5th street and East Santa Clara Street! Have been by a couple of times for a Vanilla sweet cream or a nitro cold brew and each time they deliver their best! The place is nice and spacious and comfortable. Locals pour in to get their pickup order and lots of activity for sure. Good spot for some coffee! Enso forever! Nitro. Rewards app. Metered parking. Yuck.

    Busy location but they're knocking out orders fast even with the impatient people they deal with, shout out to the location for keeping it so clean and to the barista who made my drink this morning !

    You can see dark pieces of matcha  They are all Over the cup

    been coming to this Starbucks on Santa Clara Street every morning for my coffee routine, but the experience over the past two days (January 7 and January 8) has been extremely frustrating. Something seems to have changed with the way drinks are prepared--specifically with matcha. The powder is no longer properly mixed, leaving it clumped in the cup, making the drink unpleasant. This morning, when I returned and politely asked the staff to redo my drink, the employee prioritized other orders instead of addressing the issue. I had ordered online at 8:30 AM so I could grab my drink on time, but by 8:45, I had to leave without a properly made matcha because I couldn't wait any longer. What's frustrating is not just the poorly made drink, but the lack of attention to customer service. I wasn't asking for anything extraordinary--just for the drink to be made correctly. It's disappointing to feel like my time and satisfaction don't matter. Please take this as feedback to better train your staff on drink preparation and prioritizing customer service. I hope this location improves because it has completely disrupted my morning routine.

    Matcha latte

    Second time I've been to this location and both times I get to my destination without taking a sip and see a quarter of my drink is missing. The first time my matcha was lumpy as well. Disappointed in not getting the amount of drink I paid for.

    Clean, spacious and modern interior with high ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows and natural light. Open 5:30 AM - 6:00 PM. Lovely view of City Hall across the street. Restrooms were clean. Service was friendly and welcoming. Slightly drafty and cool inside. Overall, I really like this location and look forward to revisiting.

    There is no power outlet for customers to charge their devices. People here are nice but they can't help you on that.

    My favorite coffee shop in San Jose. I look forward to going every time. All their drinks are…read moreexcellent. I started with the vanilla bean latte with oat milk. Good hot or iced. Occasionally burnt espresso but I love them too much to mind. I am a matcha snob to say the LEAST. Hands down best coffee shop matcha in the Bay Area. The classic iced matcha latte with honey is grassy and earthy and creamy and a little sweet. The iced banana pudding matcha latte had people lined up around the corner for months when it came out. It is deliciously worth the wait. Best banana cold foam in my opinion because it's made with actual bananas instead of flavoring so it's much more mellow. The double matcha they had for awhile is also awesome. Banana cold foam also goes great on an espresso latte. Now they let you add whichever cold foam you like to whatever drink which is great. Basically you can't go wrong. They are always changing up the menu for the new season and have lots of unique drinks on their menu. Not much seating inside at this location. The winchester Blvd one has more if that's what you're looking for. Their pastries are also all yummy and they sell their matcha powder for $60 for 100g which is a GREAT price for a great matcha. I would've gate kept this place but everyone already knows about it so I HAVE to show them the love they deserve!!

    Wanted a matcha and a friend recommended this place! Known for their Banana Cream Matcha latte…read more Came here abt 2:30pm on a Friday and it was a full house. There is a bench-like tables with stools and 3 yellow tables for seating. There was limited street parking. Quick and friendly service - basic "what can I get you?" and no convo. I liked the hojicha the most but all drinks were good. Banana matcha was creamy and sweet. Vanilla cold brew was yummy and vanilla was not too overpowering. Would come again to try their pastries, they were allllll out. Order: 1 Matcha Banana Cream $8.50 1 Hojicha Banana Cream $8.50 1 Madagascar Vanilla Cold Brew $5.50
