We had been wanting to try the coffee from this place for so long and are soo glad that we did!! We got the ube and tiramisu lattes, both of which were absolutely excellent. I could have done with a little stronger ube flavor, but overall the flavor of the coffee was amazing, toasted, and smooth, not burnt or bitter. The tiramisu latte blew us away though, it was absolutely fantastic, perfectly sweet, and had just great flavor and texture. We also decided to try a banana chocolate croissant after speaking with the staff and that absolutely blew us away. Probably one of the best croissants we've had in the Bay Area, the pastry was laminated perfectly, was flaky, and crunchy and the butter tasted like good quality. We want to try more flavors! The service was in general top notch, and this will absolutely be on our list of go-to coffee shops/bakeries. read more

One of the best cappuccino in town . The croissants are flaky and perfect. You can sit in the café or enjoy the patio ! We had at first chosen from the breakfast menu , but only their pastries were available on that morning. read more

It's a cute little shop with friendly workers. The space has a handful of tables to work during the day. The tiramisu latte was delicious but I would ask for it less sweet next time. The matcha was a strong matcha flavor and wasn't very creamy so if you're a matcha lover you would like! read more

Clean environment, nice lighting and employees were super nice. They had wifi for us :) This was a little small but it's a nice place to hang out/talk to your friends. I only tried their Tirimisu Latte and the Breakfast Croissant sandwich, which I thought was yummy. Gave us a fork and a knife for our sandwiches, least for those who bought a sandwich or croissant. I'll have to try the other flavors next time. My friends and I stayed a little past closing time but the workers never made rush to leave. Only thing, which they're not at fault, is that there's not alot of parking, just street parking. Overall I quite like this place read more

Coffee isn't that good. I got the tiramisu latte, very watery and no flavor. Staff is very nice though

WhatCoffee is a nice little coffee bar that has pastries, sandwiches, and brunch. The staff is very nice and friendly and welcomed me to the store! I ordered a raspberry iced matcha and a chocolate banana croissant. I thought the croissant was really good; the chocolate and banana flavors combined very well! They had a bunch of good looking croissants so I'd have to try those next time. The matcha wasn't as good, I thought the raspberry purée for the matcha was pretty good, but the matcha felt a bit underwhelming. The drink overall was good but thought it could be better. They have a coconut matcha so maybe I'll try that next time. Overall a good place! Would come back read more

Ordered a fruit cheesecake tart and a latte and it came out to $18 for both, which was totally not worth it and justifiable ONLY if they were amazingly delicious (they were not). The latte was watery and lacked a coffee taste. The fruit cheesecake tart was tiny, fruit was not fresh, and mediocre for a $10 pastry. I felt completely ripped off coming here. One thing that is nice is the ambiance of the seating indoors. It is a nice place to sit down, socialize, and work, but the coffee and pastries need some work. Came here on a Saturday afternoon and it was not too busy. They only had one person working (he was on the register and making drinks) so the drinks and pastries took a while to come out. There is only street parking, so parking may be an issue if it is busy and the cafe is near Santa Clara University. This place needs improvement and has potential if they can improve the quality of pastries and drinks. read more

I believe this place is new and may need to work out a few kinks. My husband and I came in the late afternoon, and the selection was understandably limited. We tried two donuts, a chocolate one filled with chocolate cream and a raspberry one filled with raspberry cream. We shared a large hot chocolate. I did not care for the flavor of the raspberry cream. The donut itself was just okay. My husband thought the chocolate one was fine; I tasted it and thought it looked much better than it tasted. The hot chocolate, though, was like barely-flavored water. It seemed like they used less than 1/2 as much chocolate than was needed. I may go back to try their almond croissant, but this visit was a disappointment. read more

The café has a great ambiance and friendly employees. We ordered a chocolate croissant, a butterfly tea latte, and a soy milk latte. They will warm your croissant if you ask, but it'll get more crunchy and hard to eat 'cause it'll fall apart.The drinks are delicious but ask for little ice. The service was quick, even while serving more than 50 people from the Run Free Run Club. We will definitely be returning read more

Amazing bakery!! I tried them out at the Foster City farmers market and the guy behind the stand had amazing customer service. They were about to close up and he wasn't rushing me and described their pastries with a very welcoming attitude. Thank you so much. The croissants were all so delicious!! I highly recommend! You won't be disappointed! read more

No more donuts? Phone is always busy. I asked why? They said they don't know. Customer service is pretty good though.

I came here waited for a while for them to come to take my order then the person brings out drink and random people are grabbing other people's drinks someone came in ordered them immediately went and grabbed my drink cause she thought it was hers then my breakfast sandwich came out and someone else grabbed it the cook goes to them while the plate is in there table and tells them that's not there she grabs it and tried to bring it to us I stated I don't want it I want it remade because someone else grabbed the food and touched it they took the food to the back and then not even 3 minutes later she comes back out and says we remade it for you the eggs are cold to the touch and the plate looked exactly how it was they just poured some more cheese on it and bring it out as if I'm stupid and don't know this is really disrespectful they will treat you like you a stupid person because of there mistakes never coming back again. read more

Came here with my friend on a Wednesday afternoon. The place is so cute and well decorated and not too far from Santa Clara university. They have a lot of different pastries that I wanted to try but I opted for the mango donut and honestly it was delicious. The barista was super nice in recommending drinks and seemed to get it right for us. I tried the coconut cream latte and man it was SO good. My friend got the a pea tea drink and it tasted like yuzu. It was so good! Will definitely come back here to study and have a nice pastry! read more

I purchased an 8oz bag of beans but when I poured it out into another container I measured it to be only 6.8oz of beans. Given the cost of the beans ($27 for the bag) it was pretty disappointing. The beans themselves were freshly roasted and tasted nice so it would've been great to get the full weight I paid for. The beans came with a drip coffee which was nice, but it was shockingly watery after adding just a little bit of milk. An off day perhaps. I'll give this place another chance at some point, hopefully this was a one off experience. read more

I've been here a couple times now- once when they had just opened and a second time, about a week ago. When you walk in, you'll notice the space itself is modern but feels a bit like an office cafeteria in my opinion. I do think it's cool you can see the coffee roasting equipment and kitchen in the back. On my first visit, the service was a bit off but was understandable, given they had just opened. I tried their mango croissant which was good. On my second visit, I got a slice of the blueberry tiramisu. It was good but at almost $10 I didn't feel like it was worth it. The shop is really convenient for me, but I just don't see myself coming here often due to the pricing. read more

I did not have their coffee but I visited their stand at the Sunnyvale Mid-Autumn Festival event and ordered several different pastries, including a pistachio croissant and a pain au chocolat. I don't know how to explain this, but this place had the most wack croissants I have ever tasted in my life: the outside looks perfect, like it would be super flaky and crispy but fluffy inside, but when you bite it none of that is true. It basically has the texture of a normal bread, but is shaped like a croissant. Honestly I was baffled. The reason I ordered a second croissant (the pain au chocolat) was that I found the texture of the pistachio croissant so off-putting that I felt maybe it was because I had never had a pistachio croissant before and should try something more classic like the pain au chocolat (they didn't have plain croissants). But even the pain au chocolat was weird. So idk if their coffee is good but their croissants are Not It unfortunately. read more

I had the Mango Silk Splash! 5/5, really refreshing and perfect amount of creaminess and sweetness. I was worried as I was not a fan of coconut but love mango and the drink strikes a perfect balance of the two. A must try! Concerning the actual place it has a very bright and calming ambience. The vibe is really enjoyable and is the perfect study/work environment or to chill with a friend! Baristas are all really friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. read more

A brand-new coffee spot in Santa Clara! A modern take on your favorite coffee spot. It seems like they are still tweaking their menu a bit, but the spot is decent. I ordered the iced matcha latte and the breakfast croissant - which were not life changing per say, but it's always nice to try a new cafe in the area. To note, they don't have the prices listed on the menu for their breakfast sandwiches. The cafe itself is located on the corner with windows all around and wonderful natural lighting. The vibes give it a good place to study or meet up with friends. Parking is accessible directly behind the business in a parking lot, or there is plenty of street parking. The staff is super friendly! They can provide great recommendations for what exactly to order and check in for any dine-in customers. The glass pastry case is full with delicious looking pastries that I look forward to trying the next time I return. read more

Visited Santa Clara from Southern California and wow I love this coffee shop/bakery! My husband & I wanted to chill at a cafe but all the ones around the area were crowded on a Sunday morning (12/22/24 10:45 am) so we're glad we stumbled upon WhatCoffee. First off when we walked in, we loved the vibes bc the area & seating were spacious. It wasn't loud & it's a very good place to study or work on your laptop. Next, we saw the pastry selections & wow they had many. All looked delicious. Then the barista guy taking our order was very friendly. Didn't catch his name but management, take notes because he was awesome! We ordered a hot chai latte, iced matcha latte w/ vanilla syrup (since it comes unsweetened), breakfast croissant & a berry croissant. Everything was so tasty! For the breakfast croissant, they give fruit & salad on the side making it the perfect touch for a nice little breakfast. I loved it!! We'll be coming back for sure. You guys gained some fans from SoCal! In conclusion, the vibes, drinks, food, pastries, & staff were great! Thanks WhatCoffee. Or should I say, WhatCoffee? read more

A beautiful and cozy cafe in a quiet area of Santa Clara, just like a hidden jewel. There are varous desserts and pastries. I was impressed by the ube tiramisu.

This is a new coffee shop/bakery in the Santa Clara area of a new building. I arrived around 1:30 to work on a paper for school on a Saturday, and there was quite a lot of seating available. It is a nice bright space, with cool artwork on the wall. As it was later in the day, it looked like the pastry display was not full anymore, but there were still a lot of options. I ordered this danish pastry with kiwis and it was surprisingly quite delicious ! I also ordered a matcha oat latte and it tasted alright - as I would expect a matcha latte to taste. The servers were also very friendly ! The bathroom there (there were 2 individual ones) were also very nicely decorated and very clean. Even though it was cooler this afternoon, I was hoping that they would have had their outdoor seating set up, but they didn't for some reason today. Also, although I didn't order it, this place also sells more substantial food (things to eat for breakfast, lunch), so that could be something I come back to try one day ! read more

My sister and I visited WhatCoffee for the first time today! When we entered the shop, we noticed multiple patrons enjoying their purchases. It was chilly today, but they have tables and chairs that can be set up outside. The cashier was warm and friendly. We informed him it was our first time and asked him for recommendations. He was very polite and provided some good recommendations. He also seemed happy working there, which is also important to me. We ordered the pistachio croissant, berry danish, and the pain suisse. The pistachio croissant was aesthetically appealing, but dry, scratched the roof of my mouth, and the taste was underwhelming. The berry danish was creamy, flaky, and had fresh fruit. It was very tasty! The Pain Suisse was also flaky, creamy, and had a little chocolate. My sister and I enjoyed it, but it was a bit overpriced. Overall, our visit was pleasant and enjoyable. read more

It was our first time here at this new'ish coffee shop. It is in a good location right across from Franklin Mall in Santa Clara. They roast their own coffee, so I was excited to try it. The latte was excellent - not bitter from over-roasted beans like some other shops. What I really love about this place is that they have a menu of food items that are savory, including sandwiches. So often a coffee house will have nothing but sweet bakery items, which can be very filling. I indulged in a Monroe sandwich (pulled pork) while the hubby opted for the San Francisco sandwich (beef). Both were very tasty, although I found mine to be just a little dry. As we got these to go, a quick addition of Dijon mustard from our fridge took my pork sandwich over the top. I love that these guys offer a nice selection of savory items on the menu, in addition to the normal sweet treats. It has a great atmosphere- very chill, and the music was appropriately "background music" so you can hear yourself talk. A small little outdoor area is available too, although Monroe Ave can have a bit of traffic on it so I might be a bit nervous bringing the dogs along. There weren't very many people here when we walked in, so we were surprised that our order seemed to take a while. While we waited the staff engaged us with some nice banter, so that helped to soften the wait time. I would definitely go here again. read more

A few minutes after we sat down and enjoyed the coffee and pastry we purchased, two employees approached us and told us we were not welcome and had to leave immediately, before we finished the coffee. They accused us of being workers from a competitor, which is not only false but offensive. We were very shocked. We are one in tech and one is retired. We have no affiliation with any coffee shop. This is a bad business conduct! We left and will never go back again. read more

What Coffee stays true to its name as I found myself looking at my latte asking myself "what coffee?" When a coffee is lighter than myself I am always skeptical. The coconut flavor is definitely there, but this drink would make a better creamer than coffee itself. I also tried to order their eggs Benedict sandwich and was told they're only selling the breakfast sandwich. There was no signage explaining that anywhere in the store. The pastries looked good, but since the drinks did not suffice I don't plan on coming back to give them a try. read more
