    Creme Brulee Coffee

    Drinks always consistent here! Coffees are strong the way I like them. Close to my work, it's fun to pick up a drink there and shop around the plaza.

    Teaspoon has been around for over 10 years and growing nationwide for its popular handcrafted boba tea and this is our first time that Bro and I came by on a Saturday morning. Placing an order can be done via on line or by self-service kiosk. Prices are far more reasonable which is why we chose this boba cafe Vietnamese iced coffee is what I order regular size no toppings and Bro had the caramel cream no toppings regular size both price at $6.50. One can dine-in or outdoor seating ample parking though best to come by early more so on a weekend than on a weekday. Definitely be back for sure and the best part they opened till 11 in the evening whereas alot of business are closed less traffic less shoppers.

    Teaspoon makes a consistent milk tea and other fruit tea drinks. It was easy to order online. Kiosk ordering or with the cashier. Inside and outside seating available. Maybe outside seating is from Poke House. LOL.

    Supposedly it's Assam Black Tea
    James L.

    Ordered Black Sugar Assam and a mochi donut. The boba was flavorless just think of boiling a tea bag and adding milk. Mochi donut was stale as if it were 2 days off. It should be illegal to sell something like that. Best spend your money elsewhere. Checkout the picture I posted and the advertised pictures. They look nothing alike.

    I like that Teaspoon has a limed menu and what they do have, they do well. I usually order on the app ahead of time and pick up here. You also accumulate points so that's a plus. My last couple of orders have included the pineapple shine and lychee breeze. Lychee breeze is a summer seasonal drink and it's one of my favs. It's a good mix of lychee tea with watermelon juice. I love watermelon flavored drinks. So refreshing. Then I usually get the pineapple shine because it already includes a topping - osmanthus jelly. And I like pineapple. The lychee on lychee also has lychee jelly topping included in the drink. If I don't want a topping, my other favs are the guava sunset, and the ladybug. Have not had a bad drink here.

    I came with my partner on a Sunday night and we got our drinks fairly quick. You can order at the kiosk or at the register if you're paying cash. We got the ube astra and hojicha with oat milk. The drinks were light and creamy. You can choose your sweetness and ice levels too. The ube had a great flavor and was super smooth. The hojicha was nutty and sweet. There was plenty of seating inside and it looked nice and clean inside. There's even a small claw machine where you can get tokens beside it. Haven't tried it, but it looks fun!

    Mandan mochi donut 2/5

    I'm not sure if they get their mochi donuts from an outside provider or local shop, since I haven't seen them at every teaspoon location, but was interested to try to pandan mochi donut. It was unfortunately a let down as it tasted stale and not flavorful at all. I'm not sure if I just got a bad batch or day old. The texture didn't taste like mochi at all and I didn't get event a hint of pandan flavor. I would just stick to their drinks and not try their snacks or baked items as multiple locations I was not satisfied with the quality. Just a heads up this locations is located in a very popular Asian square with places like 99 ranch so it could get very congested and crowded.

    topping portion
    Tran L.

    Topping portion has significantly went down. Tried this location twice and both ended up in disappointment. You'd think they'd want to be more competitive with new shops opening, not the case. Drinks decent though.

    Wish i could give 0 stars. Order the lychee on lychee and they forgot to add any sugar so the drink tasted like straight up black tea with lychee jelly. This has happened another time as well when they messed up our drink and forgot to add sugar and told us to come back tomorrow to get it fixed. Not sure how you can mess this up when we request 100% sugar.

    We got the House milk tea and Paradise lime. Both were good.The menu has a decent variety. Lots of fresh fruit drinks here. You can order in person at front or on the screen. Service was neutral. Clean on the inside. Private lot in front

A simple, clean and smooth process. I've gone to this store front when it first opened and I haven't gone back since. When they first opened the quality of the drinks were not as great due to how impacted and busy they were as any other "new business" opening in the Bay Area. The flavors were very chalky and unbalanced. Going back to it now months/year(s?) later I can definitely taste the difference in flavor, depth and quality put into it. I'm not a big fan of matcha but when I do want a cup the Guava matcha is my #1. The guava matcha has been one of my favorite go to's ever since I've tried Haiku's pop up in their earlier days. It is different and unique compared to the classic strawberry matchas. I am happy to know that I can always rely on them as my go to for matcha lattes. The matcha flavor is deep and rich while the guava is nice and subtle. Mixing the two together it tastes very harmonious while not over powering one another.

    Really lovely little coffee shop that leans into that industrial warehouse vibe in the best way…read more The coffee was great--I ended up trying both on-tap cold brews on the day we went because I didn't realize that buying a bag of whole bean coffee came with a free coffee drink. With some coffees a second cup will give me a stomach ache (especially since I drink my cold brews black and bitter like my soul), but I had no problems with their cold brews! I also got the vegan stonefruit scone (baked by Sweet Dragon) and while a little on the dry side (common with scones), paired extremely well with the coffee and had good flavor. Husband got a cappuccino and a strawberry mini pie and was extremely pleased with his order. The service is friendly, but some things may have been new on the day we went. They almost forgot my cold brew until we asked at the counter, as well as stating that they didn't have anything to heat up my husband's strawberry pie (which seems odd, since a little toaster oven seems like a simple fix for that), but apparently it was fantastic at room temperature anyway. Seating was absolutely full when we got there and we were lucky to snag a table as another couple left, so it seems like a popular Saturday morning spot. Several folks were working on laptops, and it seems like a kid-friendly place. The decor is a clean and modern/trendy industrial style, which works well for the space, and the windows provide nice daylight. Overall, a good coffee shop and I am really happy to see vegan pastry options! My husband is getting into pinball, which was part of the motivation to come out and try Chromatic, so I am sure we'll be back again next time he wants to hit up Slingshot (in the same building), and I look forward to the coffee and treats!

The seating area is quite limited for the large crowd it attracts, making the atmosphere inside feel a bit chaotic at peak times. Fortunately, the baristas are super polite and work fast, keeping the long lines moving efficiently. The coffee menu and the retail bean selection are both impressive. I decided to try a dulce de leche coffee. While I was expecting a strong caramel profile of dulce de leche, the flavor turned out to be fairly subtle rather than prominent. It added a significant sweetness, but without knowing the order beforehand, identifying the exact flavor would have been tough. That said, the coffee itself was still refreshing The high quality of the coffee bean really shone through, delivering a rich aroma and the ideal caffeine kick for a breezy morning. Great coffee beans and fast service make it worth dropping in, even if the indoor seating situation is a bit tight.

It was more of a savory flavor, but unfortunately forgot what it was. -My favorite was the kinako banana since it was a neat twist on what a banana bread would be like in a different form. -Very filling, decently large piece of butter (shaped like a rectangle of butter) mochi and easily shareable too. -You have to eat it the day of since it does get dry and hard if you try saving it for the next day, sadly. 3) Spam Musubi (Sizzle Crisp Rice Snack): -Decent spam musubi. -Rice had the perfect texture, it didn't fall apart and despite it being, I'm sure prepared before hitting the con floor, it wasn't soggy in the slightest.

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.
