24 Best Coffee Shops in Santa Clara

“Nice place to meet friends and chit chat inside or outside. Was busy on a Monday morning too around 10 - that says it all. The cake was so good - reminded me of popular Indian sweets. Good coffee as well.Dietary restrictions: Vegas desserts available“

“My friend and I are foodies; she is vegan and myself dairy-free we're always on the hunt for good vegan ice cream! She recommended Rocko's for dessert and I couldn't pass up on trying an ice cream taco! Right when I stepped in, I knew this was a popular spot. Artsy paintings, a neighborhood vibe, and happy customers rolling in and out are what you'll find. There's limited bar stool seating inside but most take it to-go. Lines can be long or short, but turnaround is fast. They have desserts for all--dairy, vegan, and gluten-free options galore! You're able to build your sweet treat or get one of their signatures. I chose to enjoy a Tiny Ice Cream Taco, my flavor of choice being the Vegan Matcha Oreo. For toppings, I had Dark Chocolate and Sprinkles. The tiny was the perfect size and it can get quite messy! The matcha was prevalent and not too sweet while the taco had a nice crunch to it. My friend enjoyed her Tiny Ice Cream Taco as well! For those craving ice cream and a unique way to eat it, I recommend Rocko's Ice Cream Tacos! Find them easily off Park Ave. with street parking.“

“Beautiful interior, best chai latte close to what my chai would be. Friendly staff, fast service.“

“Absolute hidden gem! It's an outdoor coffee station with plenty of seating through out! The ambience is extremely beautiful. I recommend this spot for studying (I used my hotspot so I'm unsure if they have wifi), relaxing, quiet time. It's dog friendly! Brought my dog here so I can study for my exam. I minus one star only because they only serve certain things like hot OR iced drinks. When I asked for iced they unfortunately were not serving it that day. The mocha I got was still very good! I also got an everything croissant that's filled with cream cheese and it's delicious. I def recommend this place!“

“We host workshop here and the environment is cozy and chill“

“My hubby and I catered Beastea boba drinks for our wedding, and it was an instant hit! All of our guests loved them. We love coming here every time we're in the area for the delicious drinks and now snacks. The owner, Joy, is incredibly hospitable and you can tell she puts so much passion into her craft. The milk teas are on point and flavorful, spring rolls are authentic, and the fries are so crispy and delicious.“

“Small boba shop next to Santa Clara University that’s great for grabbing a drink or a snack. Not a lot of seats here, but if you manage to get one, it’s a great place to get some studying done or just people watch. The drinks are excellent and it’s worth getting the larger size. The popcorn chicken has a good amount of spice but could be better seasoned.“

“I’ve lived in the neighborhood for about 4 years and took way too long to finally try Annie’s! I was immediately greeted by nice ladies and ordered and served very quickly at 1pm on a weekday. I got a grilled pork Banh Mi & a thai iced tea. Can’t wait to come back and try more items!“

“Service was quick and friendly and the Mont Blanc was delicious. What I really wanted though was a cafe to sit and do some work in instead of having to drive to the library but this place was absolutely crowded with no tables or chairs which was disappointing since this is an out of the way location for me. Probably won't come “

“Excellent products and great attention from the staff Many tables inside, cozy atmosphere Sometimes in summer we set outside I highly recommend this place.“

“This is the best place. Recommend to come and try all the drinks.“

“I realize for many Krispy Kreme donuts can feel too sweet but regardless of sweet, the original Krispy Kreme glazed hot off the line has no comparison. They offer a wide variety of decorative donuts, cake and normal dough among a few but between the Raspberry filled and hot off the press original glazed you just cannot find better.Make sure you enroll in the Krispy Kreme app and log your purchases in that as it will yield free coffees, donuts and even a box of a dozen donuts. I am currently 3 dozen away from a free dozen.I will also admit that a cold Krispy Kreme original glazed is extremely disappointing and a lot less appetizing, but with a 5-10 second warming in the microwave it is very close to that original hot off the line taste. Enjoy.“

“Caffino is a really nice spot to swing by if you need a nice sweet flavored coffee drink, but just want to do a drive thru.I’d absolutely take this over a fast food option like a “McCafe” or even a lot of Starbucks drinks.The staff was really friendly, the drink had amazing flavor (I got the blended mint mocha), and the wait wasn’t too long either.Also, if they make you a blended drink, they might even give you whatever extra there was in the blender in a tiny cup! That was a really nice plus. I’m glad they didn’t just choose to throw the extra out.“

“I study here :) and it is quiet and not too many crowd here today.“

“Relatively late business hours and in a nice neighborhood. Thanks for being with us through the pandemic.“

“Open. OPEN! OPEM! Parking a lot easier than old location“

“Good recommendation to order The Chic Sandwich and Egg salad“

“Came here because we were in the area and suddenly wanted some milk tea. This one was the closest that has higher reviews.The drinks were not bad. We ordered one Pearl milk tea and one Milk Foam milk coffee. The milk tea was hustling average compared to other boba places, but their milk foam milk coffee was actually good. For that, I’d give you 4 stars.The place was decorated cutely.Parking: Free shopping plaza parking lotsKid-friendliness: Kids love milk teaWheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair entrance and roadside“

“First time coming here since I'm not a big coffee person. My brother recommended this spot, so we went after lunch to get caffeinated. I like that they have the big screens that you can order from since I suffer from social interactions when it comes to ordering. It also helps when you don't know what you want, so you don't feel rushed to order. I ended up getting a caramel frappe since it was hot outside when we came here. The one thing that made me like this place a lot is that they even gave me the leftovers from the caramel frappe I ordered instead of trashing it. They put it into another small cup and gave it for free. While waiting for our drinks, I looked around and the whole coffee shop was packed with people inside. I also got to see food that was coming out and my god, it looked delicious. I don't really like coffee, but I would come back just to enjoy some food and good conversation. I think they do have other drinks besides coffee here, but still. :)“

“Fast, friendly customer service. I got everything toasted with chive cream cheese and egg and cheese bagel. It was delicious, I will definitely try next time I’m in the areaVegetarian options: Lactovovegetarian food availableParking: Convenient safe parking“

“This location doesn’t have the best banh mi of every lee’s locatiom but it’s a matter of personal preference as the sandwiches are still excellent. My favorite part of this place is that there’s always a good selection of snacks and appetizers, and Very interesting shrimp chip “

“I ordered two hot chocolates through Uber eats and found a wonderful note that says "Azeem. Thank you!!! Have a wonderful night! Enjoy!!" It definitely made my night. Thank you to the night crew. You guys are awesome. BTW the Hot chocolates were amazing!!!!“

“Friendly and Warm Staff!! Will Definitely come back again“

“I'm honestly giving this place four stars because of the croissants lol. The line to get Boba here on the weekends is pretty long, and it seems as though they may be short staffed, but they also have a kiosk from which you can order. I like the option of being able to order in person, without just using the kiosk, in case you want some advice, or to ask a question. It looked like sometimes someone was available to help, but other times, just the kiosk. I got the jasmine blossom tea, which comes with cheese foam and pinenuts, but got it without the pinenuts, since pinenuts seem super weird in tea, but haven't tried it yet. The Boba and tea were fine, but the tea is a bit on the bitter side. I got my Boba half sweet, which worked well enough with the cheese foam. The Boba was fine, but not the best boba I've had. We ordered a pandan almond croissant and a coconut almond croissant for my daughter, and I ended up liking the croissants more than I did the Boba lol. I would probably come back here just for the croissants, not gonna lie. I don't really understand the name of this place, since it sounds like an unfinished name, but all good. It would be awesome if they had some seating here, but there is no seating by this place (located in the mall). I'd come back for the croissants if I'm already at the mall.“
