The hot chocolate, banana bread and coconut mocha were AMAZING. I'd 100% recommend :)

So glad to have discovered this place. There’s a wide range of hand pour options available. Tried the yellow fruit and the notes is obviously on the acidic side which is perfect with its rich, distinct floral aroma. They also sell a variety of roasted beans. Comfortable seating by the window inside. Definitely coming back for more tasting!

Depending on who is working I feel like the staff doesn’t want to serve me and can’t be bothered to say thank you or anything and I’m the one saying thank you to them like they’re doing me a favor even though I tip them every time I come here. Starbucks has a much better customer experience overall. There’s a young guy who works here who’s super nice though I like him but the other ppl I feel like I’m walking on eggshells around them and the coffee and location isn’t worth it tbh sometimes sketchy people come here and there is never any parking. The location is just sketchy overall not a nice or safe feel to it. The coffee is also very hit or miss. Sometimes it’s great other times it’s undrinkable.

This is a very, for lack of a better word, unique and almost strange coffee shop in Bay Area. Yes, it feels like a coffee brewery rooted in Berkeley or Portland that suddenly drops into San Jose downtown one day, no notification, just happened.So yes, for this kind of creative free spirit run place, you should be open minded, and open to experience non-traditional coffee beans.To start, ask for pourover, your chance to explore various of flavors.We tried Amerina, noted to be honey & stone berries, and it tasted like cold brew coffee jumps into a generous pot of floral green tea; the balance of lightly floral scent of the coffee is spectacular & pleasant , it’s a flavor that’s rarely found.Then India, noted to be various berries incl. black berries, tasted peculiar: like a book soaked in water & dimmed into a coffee pot; a very strong note of wet papers.And the bean choices are overwhelming, we picked the Yellow Fruit, and it’s fermented with cherry. We used our owned coffee machine to make espresso with it:OK, it’s just perfectly balanced with the smoothness of expresso, and ended with a note of a juicy ripe water bursting cherry.They didn’t mark the bean price but the bag of bean is the most expensive bag I’ve ever bought.But it’s worth it!

I must have forgotten to write a review but goodness gracious their coffee is top tier. I have been here a few times now and I love their dark coconut mocha. I have also tried their walnut bread and it was crunchy and tasty. It's a little spot with quality coffee.

The coffee is very delicious, great variety of coffee. The baristas are trained! I brought a bag of freshly roasted beans (the information is quite precise and detailed) from c/bag. I recommend it and I will definitely return for other varieties of grains ☕️

I was driving through and needed something to eat. Using my Google maps, I got super lucky this place was the closest. Another local guide posted a photo of a pastry and coffee cup...that did it. I went straight there. Walking in you pass local artisans works, which are also for sale. The posted menu popped when I saw the dark chocolate coconut cream. While waiting to place my order I added 2 oversized knock me out chocolate chip cookies. The edible, drinkable treats, exceptional service, using my name, thanking me created a wow share with my friends and family!
My recent visit was spurred on by the enthusiastic recommendations of local friends. First things first, their coffee: I tried their cappuccino and was pleasantly surprised. It was rich, frothy, and definitely on the stronger side (btw I don't add any sugar in my coffee). Now, onto the ambiance. A very industrial-chic decor and warehouse-inspired vibe, exuding an aura of creativity and innovation. Super Unique to me and perfect for casual catch-ups with friends.I can't give this place a solid 5 because of the wait time and the loud music. As someone who enjoys the tranquility of a calm morning coffee, the thumping music felt a bit overwhelming.

Excellent coffee with diverse origins, especially loved how they did a good job with both the mocha and the single origin

Edit: used to be 5 star coffee but now it’s just mid.I haven’t seen latte art in months and all of the employees look bummed to be there.Chromatic excellence continues.Just hands down the best coffee In Santa Clara county and beyond.

Hands down the best coffee I've ever had! I've tried a few different things off the menu. Their hot vanilla latte (with oat milk) will do it every. time. The staff are super friendly and the inside is pretty unique. Overall a great coffee shop. Unrelated: I had left my coffee in the car for five minutes as I went into a store and when I came back, my car smelled like coffee beans-- it was the best haha
