Remodeled inside
Dalan C.

I love coming here to get some work done. The staff is always friendly. They recently remodeled and it looks great and modern. It does get a bit cold inside so bring a sweatshirt or jacket. Also the internet is functional but not very fast.

I got an Iced Matcha Latte with Brown Sugar Syrup, and the staff were super nice. They even drew a smiley on my cup! Everyone was being greeted with a cheerful "have a good day," which honestly makes the visit feel better. I also redeemed my points for a Starbucks cup, and the staff explained the whole thing really well. Even though there were plenty of people inside, it still felt quiet and relaxed--not chaotic at all. There's tons of parking, including pickup-only spots, and outdoor seating too, so you can sip your coffee while enjoying the Santa Clara Square vibes. It's right next to Chipotle and other restaurants, so the location is really convenient. You can also walk around outside--it's pretty chill.

Chocolate oat milk and coffee
Ashley V.

Not sure why this Starbs only has 3 stars. My partner and I come here often and they are always pretty consistent. I don't drink coffee, so my go to is a hot chocolate oat milk or flavored cold oat milk. We usually do mobile order and it is convenient. Service is friendly and love that they went back to writing cute notes on cups. There is plenty of seating and if you want to stay and hang you can use glassware. Seating outside too for you and your pup!

Mocha Cookie Crumble Frappuccino
Anabelle H.

Big location with lots of seating available so that you can get some studying/work done. I ordered my drink through the app and it was ready as soon as I got there. - Mocha Cookie Crumble Frappuccino (5/5): I am not a huge fan of coffee but I do enjoy a frappuccino every once in a while. This flavor is on the sweeter side, which masks the coffee taste LOL but I really like it. If you're not a big sweet tooth, this might not be the drink for you. But if you're a chocolate lover, I say give this one a shot. I got a tall, which was $5.95 (a little pricey but I wanted to treat myself today) Parking was a bit difficult because the plaza was super crowded. I had to circle around for 15 minutes to finally snag a spot. I sat in the store for quite a while getting some work done and I don't know if it was the smell of coffee or the fact that everyone else around me was also working, but my productivity level was through the roof. They have outlets available through the store so you can charge your devices while working.

I love it! There's a Starbucks under my condo, and I go there almost every day. I just moved into this condo. The store is clean and the staff are very friendly.

Brownie
Calvin C.

Not too sure why this place has a low star rating, but I was able to come in around 12:30pm and the service was very efficient and everyone was friendly. The interior is very nice in terms of atmosphere and overall comfort, definitely a good place to study and enjoy a drink or snack. The drinks were delicious and the brownie was tasty. Overall a good Starbucks experience.

Super nice Starbucks in the middle of Santa Clara square. It is spacious and modern. You can find a perfect table for working, meeting with friends, sitting by the window. The staff is super friendly and cheerful. As soon as you walk in, you feel the Christmas vibe in here. I tried Flat White using 50%off discount and enjoyed it very much! Street parking is available if you're lucky. There is also a garage parking next to the Square, where you can park for 2 hours for free.

Had a great experience at this Starbucks! It took 5 minutes to grab my drink and it was great! I always try to get extra ice in my drink but unfortunately, it looks like the app took that option off, but the frappuccino was delicious and it was great! The inside was clean and spacious though there was some sun coming through that was blinding. However, it's very conveniently located and it was a very pleasant experience.

This by far is the best Starbucks location to visit ... biggest store ... most tables and chairs, clean, good free parking, and most of all a GREAT TEAM of baristas! These folks work as a team to deliver a great experience each time. No question - No doubt it begins with great coffee - but mix into this great PEOPLE. Led by a strong personable manager and led by terrific shift leads and baristas, this is MY GO TO PLACE! Especially given the stress of everyday life.

My puppaccino Santa girl
Harmanjeet K.

My large cuppaccino was very good and hot as requested and everyone working here was very sweet towards my pup. My pupper also got herself a pup cup or a puppaccino and she thoroughly enjoyed it. I live close by so walking to this starbucks is convenient. The cafe is in great surroundings and a few tables are also set outdoors. The only feedback I think I must give is that the quantity of my large cuppaccino was way too less. I know cuppaccino has frothed milk but my cup was extremely light in weight. I might try their latte next and see how full my cup is.

It's Starbucks so you know what you get, but this one takes forever. Like twenty plus minutes when the app says it will be ten.

I tried the pandan latte and was pleasantly surprised on how you could still taste the pan although it is not as strong as I've had with matches I think with the coffee it went really well to add extra aroma to the milk. It had the perfect amount of caffeine. The kiosk to order can be a little confusing. Not everything is uploaded with pictures, which could be more helpful for our first time customers. I ended up helping a couple next to me. Look for the burrito because it was labeled somewhere else in menu. If I have time to dine in, I would love to try everything on the menu. It looks so good. They even have Korean style toast here. On Mother's Day the seats were all taken as everyone was just chilling there, but I think it's a great spot on weekdays to do work or grab a quick brunch with friends. The area is very spacious and not tight like some other coffee shops.

Another stop on my Coffee-Pray-Love journey. This is a contender for the best cold brew I've tried…read moreso far. They do a CBC which is a concentrate and it definitely is. Flavor is not diluted by melting ice and neither is the caffeine. 10/10 will return for my cold brew when working in Santa Clara. Ambiance: looks like an inviting place to sit and work and they have snacks! Quick service and very clean (:

I come up to this bakery once a month, and I love the 48 hour preorder option. I highly recommend…read moreit for people who don't want to deal with the line that understandably goes out the door. The food is worth the wait. Don't sleep on the black pepper sausage danish: the croissant dough is crisp and flaky, and doesn't get soggy when baked around the sausage. It's comparable in execution to the Croissant Hot Dog served at Dominique Ansel Las Vegas (in Caesar's Palace), but at a way more accessible price point. Which isn't to say this place is cheap; like many artisanal bakeries in California, it comes with a premium price tag, but at least it's not Dominique Ansel pricy. Croissante's croissant dough baked goods (viennoiserie) is pun-intended "proof" that you get what you pay for. The dining space is limited and lively. Conversing is a little tough, but if you just need a place to sit while eating, it's just right. Extra special shout out this time to Dill who had informed me the fried chicken dishes today would be an hour and a half wait. After deciding there wasn't anything I wanted more than the Fried Chicken and Spiced Croffle (croissant dough baked in a waffle iron) and was happy to wait, they were nice enough to check in with the kitchen and see if it could be made sooner than that. I didn't expect to be accommodated, so I was happy they were able to do that. You get two chicken thighs and croffles per order. It's enough for two light eaters to share.

Croissante has become a south bay staple in pastries galore. The pastry ordering window is a little…read moreoverwhelming because they're so many delicious things, make sure you scope out the entire line of options before you end up ordering way too much. Depending on the time, it can get quite crowded. I came in around 9:30am and by the time I got to checkout, the baristas ran out of dine-in mugs. Which is why I opted for an iced americano. It had a nice creama layer and a well balanced flavor. Not too acidic or bitter. I got the french onion soup, labeled as a popular item/staple of the bakery. It is quite a lot of soup, I wish it came with a side of bread/sourdough as towards the end it was all soup and nothing to contrast it. It was nicely broiled at the top with some small pieces of bread and a healthy layer of cheese that made it so exciting to eat. Even the crust of the bread had some crunch although fully soaked. The bakery has wifi which is really handy since I think reception in that area wasn't the best. Wifi password is displayed at the register. I will come back to try the sandwiches!

The matcha on its own was slightly grassy for my taste, but mixed with the guava cream was really delicious. The flavor came through really well and was perfectly sweet. So far this is one of my favorite matchas in San Jose. They don't really have a food menu here, but there are some pastries that look pretty good. I can't vouch for how they taste however. The drinks came out super quickly and the servers were really sweet! I also really liked how we could take the drinks outside to the large seating area and enjoy the drinks, but there is also some indoor seating. Parking might be a little annoying but there are some spots out front of this location. Overall I really liked this spot and I definitely want to come back to try some of their other unique drinks!
