    Flat white

    Hands down the smoothest, loveliest, yummiest flat white in the bay. What a treasure of a shop - friendly service and ambiance too. Come support local small business and see for yourself!

    Japanese souffle cheesecake

    They roast their own beans; they use JJ Coffee Craft beans, sourced from Guatemala, and roasted in Berkeley. There is one bummer: They no longer let people go up to the second floor; it's used for storage. They get all of their pastries from Satura Cakes, except for the gluten free Pistachio/rose cake. 4/5: The Japanese souffle cheesecake is good. Let it warm up to room temperature; the mild flavor comes through better. 3/5: The aztec mocha has good flavor, but there is bad flavor release; it probably works better with fat-free milk. 1/5: They made a mistake with my macchiato. It was very cold. I think they forgot to steam the milk.

    Iced Vanilla Latte, Dirty Ube Latte

    The drinks here are very solid, lattes and matchas. The workers here are super friendly and they make sure every drink they make are made with care. There are a lot of places to sit and study/socialize either outside or inside their gallery, however, finding parking here is a bit difficult. Overall, pretty good place for drinks and to sit down.

    Literally the best experience I've had at a coffee shop! I needed a place to unwind with a good book, and the ambience at Sue's was perfect for that. It was a nice and breezy day, and the outdoor seating was slightly covered so it was a perfect place to be to enjoy the sun. The coffee was alright, it wasn't anything to write home about. However, I definitely recommend coming for a good third space to spend time at.

    This place has a wabi-sabi minimalist aesthetic. It's artisanal gallery-chic and I love the handcrafted elements and decors. They don't have a parking lot, so it's all street parking. I got a hojicha latte, and it was lightly sweetened.

    After a hike at Windy Hill, this was exactly the kind of place I was hoping to land in, calm, sunlit, and thoughtfully curated. I ordered the matcha latte and the charcoal latte, both beautifully made and served in handmade ceramic cups that somehow make everything taste better. The matcha was smooth and balanced, not overly grassy, while the charcoal latte was creamy and subtly rich without being heavy, ideal when you're tired but not looking for a sugar bomb. The rose cake was a standout. Light, moist, gently sweet, with real rose petals adding fragrance rather than overpowering flavor. It felt refined and comforting at the same time, perfect after hours outdoors. The space itself is peaceful and artistic, with warm wood tones and natural light that makes you want to slow down, sit, and actually enjoy the moment. It's the kind of café that feels intentional rather than rushed. If you're coming off a hike or just need a quiet, restorative break, this is a wonderful stop. Thoughtful drinks, delicate desserts, and a serene atmosphere, exactly what a post-hike treat should be.

    I stopped in after lunch on a quiet Monday for a Gibraltar. It was a warm and sunny January day and the outdoor patio was quite crowded, however I was able to find a seat at a common table. My Gibraltar was perfect temperature and a nice balance of the acidity from the espresso with the creaminess of the milk. The team greeted me upon entry and politely asked if I could give them a minute to wrap up a previous order, and my drink came out pretty quickly. I did not try a bakery retreat this time, but they normally have a nice election of baked goods delivered daily.

    This is a nice little cafe in the heart of downtown Saratoga, with plenty of seating outside and in other patio room. There is only street parking so be prepared. I've visited this cafe a few times, mainly ordering the Charcoal latte and the Mascarpone toast. All the baristas have been friendly and helpful each time. The Charcoal latte has a nice balance to the flavor, not overpowering or powdery at all. The Mascarpone toast is very lightly sweet, the cream is airy. The fruit is quite sweet, but I guess it depends on the season as well. They have a decent variety of drinks and food on the menu. Honestly, a perfect stop for the spring and summer!

    Super cute cafe and a great location! I ordered a cappuccino with whole milk and it was ready almost right after I ordered! I love their ceramics they serve coffee in if you're dining in. Great service and cute ambiance.

    Sue's Gallery Café is such a gem. The vibe is warm and artistic, the staff is super friendly, and everything feels thoughtfully crafted. Their iced oat charcoal latte is amazing: smooth, unique, and balanced. A great spot to relax or get work done. Anthonyxibarrax

    Charcoal latte, Mocha, chocolate croissant

    Very close to Hakone gardens and at the tail end of big basin way downtown road, is Sue's gallery cafe tucked in magically... The ambiance is super upbeat and bright. I've been there only once but would love to go back again. Their menu is very different from the other bay area coffee shops that included charcoal, Aztec latte etc., There was outdoor and indoor seating. Looked like there's seating upstairs but it was closer when I visited them. We ordered a charcoal latte, chocolate croissant and a mocha. The charcoal latte was earthy and flavorful. I loved it. But be ready to get your lips tinted Their crockery collection is very artistic as well!

    Left to Right: Yuzu Tea, Iced Caramel Latte, Vanilla Latte

    Stopped by Sue's Gallery Cafe with a few friends for the first time in years, and they have since expanded to include a lot of sitting room both indoors and outdoors for people to work and study! The line was short, and the wait for our drinks was less than ten minutes. There's not much parking in the Saratoga Downtown, however, especially on the weekend before Halloween. We tried their Yuzu Tea, Iced Caramel Latte, London Fog, and Vanilla Latte. All these drinks were delicious, with my favorite being the London Fog for its not too strong earl grey tea taste and the Yuzu Tea for it being bright, refreshing, and having the right amount of citrus sweetness. The cafe had a cozy and artful vibe, and their staff was friendly and provided a welcoming atmosphere!

    Still a great spot. Came here on a Saturday afternoon. Bustling with patrons. Dog friendly, beautiful ceramics to look at in the gallery portion of the cafe. We ordered drinks for friends; matcha latte is my favorite. They did a great job putting light ice (we forgot to ask but it was done anyway). My husband got a cortado - he said it was good, on the stronger side.

We had to see if they had any, and luckily there was exactly one left! We bought it to have for breakfast the next morning. I'll admit, I was a little nervous because it was packaged in a bag and I wasn't sure how well it would hold up overnight. But the next morning, we basically fought over who was going to get the biggest piece. It was still flaky and delicious, and there was chocolate in every bite. The chocolate was in strips through the middle rather than spread throughout the entire pastry, but there was still enough that we never had a bite without chocolate. It ended up being such a sweet way to start our last day in town. They had so many other pastries and desserts that looked absolutely amazing, but we had just eaten lunch and knew we were heading back out for the day, so we didn't want to risk buying something that might melt in the car. If you're in Los Gatos and love chocolate croissants as much as we do, definitely stop in! And if there's only one left...don't hesitate. Grab it!

I wish we had also had lunch there - everything looked so good!

Sidebar: they use Valrhona chocolate which is one of our most favorite European gourmet chocolatiers. We went to the Valrhona chocolaterie a number of times for their chocolate and hot chocolate during our recent trip to Paris - my favorite hot chocolate in the world!

    La Patisserie has been my family's go-to bakery for special occasions and everyday treats for…read moreyears. Their burnt almond cake runs through our veins and is truly a family favorite. When we've brought it to social gatherings in the past, it's also always a hit. Their other desserts, like their lemon bars, french napoleon, and turtle cheesecake, are also major hits. So when it was time for my wedding, I knew I had to get my cake from them! It was a wonderful experience from start to finish. They offer cake tasting boxes that include their most popular flavors. However, we had a specific taste profile in mind and asked if they could custom make the samples for us - they said yes without hesitation and didn't charge us extra! The samples were delicious and the pickup process was easy. We went with a ribbon cake (chocolate and vanilla) with fresh strawberries, whipped cream filling, and vanilla buttercream frosting. I also had a very specific vision for my wedding cake - I wanted a detailed three-tier cake with buttercream vintage flowers. We also ordered a plain sheet cake with the same flavors to ensure that we had enough slices for our guests. I worked with Fariba during the ordering process and they were great. I am truly still SHOCKED at how beautiful the cake was and how it matched the inspo photo perfectly. It was a showstopper and extremely delicious. See the photo for details! We got the cake topper from etsy :)

    This was my first visit, and I picked up a choux pastry and a full size round cake…read more The choux pastry was surprisingly good. It was covered in chocolate and filled with custard, and it was just the right sweetness and not too sweet. The size was pleasing, and the custard filling was good. The cake was not enjoyable; to be fair, this might or might not be due to personal taste. It was a 3-layer vanilla cake filled with lemon mousse, covered in buttercream and white chocolate bark pieces, and topped with 10 blueberries. This flavor can be found on their website catalog. I don't know if this is typical for this bakery, but the cake was heavy, claggy on the bottom, and way too sweet. The lemon mousse tasted incredibly strange, as if it were artificial or maybe had some kind of herb or weird flavoring added. The less said about the cream, the better. The white chocolate was quite good though. I saw they had a wide variety of cake offerings, but I don't think I'd want cake from here again. I might get the choux pastry again.

    We came to the shop around 11:30 a.m. on August 23rd…read more When we arrived there were two patrons outside enjoying their coffee and pastry and another set of patrons inside a little girl with their dad having a little tea party. I will say that walking in the space is elegant is the word I would like to use but also inviting with the little extras that they do at the table with the fresh flowers the soft chairs the colorful decor that surrounds it. Also the two individuals behind the counter that were taking orders and packaging things were just a delight. Both of them greeted us with a smile and they asked us if it was our first time to the shop and we told them yes and so they walked us through some of the more popular items and how are things were broken down and that was very much appreciated cuz there are many many options in front of you in unless you know exactly what you want you can be looking at everything for a couple of minutes before you decide on even one thing. We ended up getting a regular latte and a rose latte for our drinks. And then as a little delicious taste of something we got the chocolate croissant and the almond croissant. I am going to comment on my rose latte first that thing was beautifully made because though it was sweet but in a way that wasn't overpowering because you could still taste a little bit of the caffeine the creaminess of the milk that was used and the espresso it was like a hint in the background so a little call out there if you're someone that really wants to taste their coffee this wasn't the jam for you and that's okay my husband got the regular latte with steamed milk and I tasted his and that was like coffee in your face so you can always go for a solid twist like that. And to clarify his latte was also very good because it just tasted so fresh and of high quality. Now for the pastries. They were stupendous because they had the right amount of flakiness but softness. They also were buttery but not overly so were like major hands feel greasy it was so savory both of them which is interesting because the fillings one was chocolate one was almond I would have thought that both of them would have had an overpowering sweetness to them. We will say that we both liked the almond croissant more not that the chocolate one wasn't just as good. The almond had a little bit of a 1up because I don't know how to explain it it's almost like it had a almond crumble at the top so you bit into the pastry which was fluffy but you had the crunch on the top then you had a little bit of the almond filling and then you had the butter and like the soft but almost chewiness of the inside of the layers just stupendous all of that together was great. If we end up ever being in that area again will definitely want to go back to try the rest of the stuff they had because I want to know how everything else takes especially those beautiful cakes that were just art themselves

The space has a modern yet warm feel with beautiful natural wood finishes, fresh loaves of sourdough lining the shelves, pastries displayed in the case, and a mix of large communal wood tables, regular seating, and high-top tables. It's the kind of café that makes you want to slow down and stay awhile. The staff was friendly and helped us choose both a pastry and our toast. They were also happy to customize our order--we asked for the levain sourdough toast with butter instead of the usual olive oil. That toast was absolutely divine. The sourdough had the perfect balance: chewy without being too sour, with a crust that was crisp but not so hard that it fought back. Easily the best sourdough toast I've had in the Bay Area. If you come here, this is the one thing you have to order. The only disappointment was the butter. They serve French butter, but for an extra $2, the portion was tiny and honestly nothing special. I've had better butter from Whole Foods. It didn't take away from how incredible the bread was, but it wasn't worth the upcharge. Their Kouign-amann is also one of the best I've ever had. Instead of the typical flat, flaky style, theirs is taller with countless buttery layers that create an amazing texture. The cappuccino was another highlight. It had subtle notes of orange peel, whiskey, and cardamom, making it unique. The latte art was beautiful too. Overall, Manresa Bread is one of those cafés that makes you want to sit down with a laptop or a book and spend a few hours there. The only downside is there are no power outlets, so come with a full battery if you're planning to work. Must orders: Levain sourdough toast with butter and the Kouign-amann. Both are worth the trip.
