The…read morecoffee was well balanced but the citrus chill was my favorite as it had a tart finish that brightened up the fruity notes in the espresso. I need to go back because everything I ordered was iced and I want to try some of the hot drinks. The banana bourbon latte was good, I wish it had maybe a more pronounced banana flavor and that the bourbon came through more. But the oat milk and the coffee were so smooth and luxurious that it made the experience enjoyable. Important note: with Mitsua market and the busy food areas there, this plaza gets incredibly busy! It's not the best parking situation, so know that ahead of time.

I've seen people study or do work in there but it's not the most quiet place. Staff is always friendly to us when we're ordering drinks. We tried the Guava Matcha with Guava Cream, and this was easily a 10/10 for me. The li hing powder on top adds such a unique, slightly tangy flavor that makes the drink really stand out. This is the drink we always order whenever we visit this place. We also tried the Double Matcha Melon Matcha, which was good, but I still preferred the guava matcha. My husband likes the Melon Matcha better though. The Vietnamese Coffee was very strong for me and on the less-sweet side. The Pandan Latte wasn't really for us either. It wasn't very sweet, and we didn't get much pandan flavor. We've definitely had better pandan lattes elsewhere. The drinks aren't cheap, but I think they're worth trying, especially the guava matcha and double melon matcha. Lines can get pretty long on weekends, and parking is free but limited. Definitely a spot I'd come back to for the guava matcha!

I've had Academic a few times already. This was my first time at this location. Parking was awful,…read moreeven for a Friday morning at 10AM.. Ain't y'all got work or something (I was coming home from the dentist). Luckily I found a spot after circling the lot one time, got my drinks, and was in and out within 15 minutes. I finally got to try the Melon Matcha, which was delicious! I recently had the King Jasmine Melon matcha from Heytea or something, and it just did not hit. I know these aren't identical drinks, but I've been craving something good with melon flavor, and this hit the spot. For the 2nd drink, I got one of our usual go-to's, the guava matcha. Pretty good overall. I've knocked on their prices before. Still steep and more than I'd like to pay for my matcha, but it IS good. Still, costs about $1.5-2+ more than other places in my experience.

Came here as a result of my regular place in Santa Clara being closed. There was a decent amount of…read moreparking (though it was quite early in the morning so that might be affecting it) and the space inside is relatively big with a lot of seating. There is a kiosk for ordering, as well as paper menus on display for you to look at, topped off with what appears to be a photobooth on the side that you can take pictures inside of for fun. I decided to get the Lavendula Latte, which the barista delivered to my table. I had forgotten to adjust the sweetness (though thinking now I can't remember if there was an option for that) but the drink had a nice balance of sweetness. Only complaint I have is that the menus lacks photos (not sure if it's lag or if there genuinely are no photos), but I'd say that the drink looks okay. You also have to use McDonalds wifi if you want to do work here, but the wifi's free and seems to be working fine so I'm not sure if that's really a negative. Overall, a nice place to work at with friendly service. I might consider coming back here again if I happen to end up in the area.

Am I getting too old? The ambiance has changed since my last visit. They took out the open book case separating half the cafe so it wasn't just open space. The long table was there and same with the bench seat against the wall but it just doesn't seem as cozy and cool as before. They moved the rack for used dishes by the door. The menu board is very white. It's a place you go with someone you're familiar with not someone you want to date or impress.

We went to Crossiante to celebrate my grandma's birthday with tea time! When I walked in, I was…read moresurprised to see how many people were still buying pastries in the afternoon. We checked in and were seated right away, and the setup was absolutely beautiful! They brought out our tea first, which we enjoyed while waiting for the pastry tower to arrive. Once it came out, they told us to eat from top to bottom, so that's exactly what we did! Each bite was delicious, everything tasted freshly baked and made, and I especially loved that the pastries weren't overly sweet. Although we enjoyed eating the tower from top to bottom, next time we would probably go from bottom to top since we like to save our sweets for last! Of course, we couldn't leave without getting more pastries to bring home. They have plenty of classic pastries, like croissants, along with more unique specialties, like their croissant cube. Everything looked and tasted so fresh, with that perfect flaky, crackly texture. The pastries are a little pricey for bakery items, but in my opinion, they're definitely worth it for the quality and freshness. Overall, we had such a lovely time celebrating my grandma's birthday here and would definitely come back for more pastries!

I went on a Thursday between 2-4 p.m. and really enjoyed the space…read more Ambiance: The space is beautiful and bright, with large windows and high ceilings. It was very quiet during my visit, and conversations were kept to a minimum, which made it easy to concentrate. Even though it's located right across from a Caltrain station, I couldn't hear the trains at all. Parking & Accessibility: Parking was a breeze for me. I parked in the garage in one of the guest-reserved spots, and there's also street parking available. Since it's directly across from a Caltrain station, it's also easily accessible by public transportation. Seating: The café is connected to a leasing office, so be mindful of where you sit. The leasing agents do monitor the area and make sure café customers stay within the designated Coffeebar seating area. Drinks & Service: I ordered a loose-leaf tea and asked for it iced. The staff was warm and friendly, and as they handed me my drink, they said, "I hope you enjoy the tea." I really appreciate little details like that--it made the service feel more thoughtful and welcoming. Overall, I would definitely come back, especially when I need a quiet space to focus and get some deep work done.

The ambiance has definitely improved--it feels more open and well-organized now, even though they've kept the same tables and chairs from the Tan-Cha days. It's a nice balance of familiar and refreshed. The staff is friendly and welcoming, and service is impressively fast--your drink is ready within minutes even when it's busy.

However, the vanilla syrup and oat milk ratio didn't do it for me. The drink consisted more of coffee than oat milk... and to add to it, the vanilla syrup didn't taste good. I had to go back and request more oat milk and syrup to fix the drink. It felt as if I was insulting the barista, oops! The egg sandwich, on the other hand, was delightful although it was on the pricier side. The coffee shop was packed with folks working so we didn't find any seating indoors. Parking on the weekday was manageable but I can see it being a pain on the weekends. All in all, I want to give this spot a second chance but the coffee didn't do it for me.
