    Come here for good coffee, friendly service, and clean seating area. Found this place on Yelp while searching for coffee shops I haven't yet tried. I came on a late Saturday morning. The pastries were almost sold out, but they had one more Everything Croissant, so I ordered it. That was pretty good. For coffee, I had the Cubano and the Salted Maple Bourbon latte. They were both good, but I thought they were both very heavy on the milk. It was hard to taste the coffee. I'll probably come back and try just plain coffee. It's a really pleasant place to hang out at, so I don't mind giving them another try.

    pistachio berry croissant and cubano

    What a lovely lil cafe! This coffee shop is located right across from SJSU on E San Carlos Street. Parking is generally available on the street, and there are some spots in a private lot behind the shop as well. I came on a weekday afternoon and it wasn't too busy. The cafe has light wood tones throughout, with plenty of tables throughout. The baristas were friendly and helpful in explaining the menu and various selections! I ordered the cubano and the berry pistachio croissant, both of which came out quickly. I thought the cubano was delicious and well-balanced, and the croissant was warm, toasted, and buttery, pairing perfectly with the jam filling. I overall loved my order. I was pleasantly surprised by my trip here, and I'll definitely come back to sample the other pastries and coffee options.

    Omg, I loved coming to this cafe. First of all, the coffee is amazing. I had never experienced a coffee flight the way they have one and am excited to go back one day.

    I spotted this place near the San Jose University, the table outside with the chess bought my attention. So I decided to check it out and I have to admit the coffee is delicious! There are classic and signature options, coffee flights and ... very interesting croissants (I tried pistachio version, delicious!). The staff is just amazing. Also, There is a typewriter in the restroom! That's like a hidden gem itself from the museum:) Parking is available along the street and behind the building.

    Came here with my friends as part of the San Jose coffee passport stops. It's a cute cafe right next to San Jose state. We had a selection of coffee and pastries. Everything tasted great and the baristas were super sweet to us. Definitely worth a stop by!

    Been several times. Always something new to try. Quality roasts. And coffee flights, what?!

    AM Craft is a cute little spot. They have some unique latte flavors, which I always appreciate. The staff were really nice, too. The only downsides are that the parking lot at the little shopping area has very few spots (and a very steep ramp that'll cause your car to bottom out), and the shopping area is kind of rundown. Their shop is pretty nice, given the surroundings, though. Definitely give one of their fancy latte flavors a try. They are pretty good.

    Matcha Latte
    Diana G.

    Good spot for folx who like creamy lattes. I've had a few of their drinks over the years and my top recommendation is the Toasted Marshmallow for a latte. I appreciate that their drinks are not overly sweet; they are just a little too creamy for my taste. Service: Staff is friendly, and service is quick. Ambiance: The café is on the smaller side but has a bar area, indoor seating, and some outdoor seating. There is plenty of natural light inside and is minimally decorated with warm tones.

    Matcha latte (hot) $4.75

    Discovered this cute little cafe in downtown SJ during a gap and it was a pleasant experience! The interior gives off a minimal/clean aesthetic while actually being tidy and wiped down. There is minimal seating inside and outside. A menu is posted outside, but you'll find another copy inside along with free water. For those dining in, there is a small cart to leave your used glasses and plates/trays. There was a large group ahead of me, but the actual time it took for my drink to be made was fairly short :D DRINK: *Matcha latte (hot) -- I am most definitely coming back to order this because the quality and price are by far the best I've ever had! With the matcha craze these days, I appreciate a cozy shop like this that won't make you break your break for a sweet treat or energy boost. You can choose between whole milk and oat milk (I went w/ whole). Despite not being asked about sweetness adjustments, it was perfectly "not too sweet" while maintaining a satisfyingly potent matcha flavor. I'm not exactly sure how to describe it, but it tastes more like matcha offered in European cafe's rather than Japanese matcha dessert places. Either way, it was delicious and my cousin kept wanting to take some sips of this latte after we left XD The latte art and creamy foam on the surface was such a lovely surprise too! Comparable to La Lune Sucree's which is also in downtown SJ, but this is now my new local favorite. PARKING: Customers can find residential parking and walk or meter parking. My drink was made pretty quickly, so this is a great spot for grab and go!

    Cortado and peanut butter chocolate cookie

    I've been coming here for months and let me just say, they are the real deal! Honestly one of the best coffees in the Bay Area that not only focus on quality but bringing out the flavor notes in each coffee / espresso. Super friendly staff and they always go beyond to help or answer questions. This place is a gem!

    Espresso comes with sparkling water
    Felix W.

    I got an espresso and a cortado. The espresso didn't look as dark as I was expecting and didn't have crema but it wasn't bitter or burnt. The cortado was well balanced. Based on the other photos I might give it another try if I'm in the area.

    Latte
    Naomi G.

    Coffee tastes like garbage. The guy was not welcoming. He may of done something to make it taste like that. I don't know. But a waste of money.

    What an awesome experience! All around! The vibes are super chill here! Who would've known drinking a cup of coffee with a delicious pastry would be this exciting! The owners were super friendly! It looks like there's some regular customers when I was there! That's really cool that they take time to know there customers! I ordered the toasted marshmallow latte. I got it hot. This was so good! And the ube croissant is a must! I can't wait to go back. I just moved to the neighborhood so I'll definitely be back to visit to try more from there menu!

My sisters got the Muoi, which was really good but a little strong, and my sister's boyfriend got the COCO Freeze, which wasn't my favorite only because I'm not a coconut person.

My friend and I ordered the guava matcha (with cream) and strawberry matcha and both the drinks were delicious. Most places I do to I usually like only 1 drinks and not both that I get but both of them were extremely delicious.

It is definitely on the pricier side with my drink being close to $10 but it's sooo worth the try. The cream was so thick and creamy and their matcha is incredibly smooth. My friend got the strawberry matcha and that was so flavorful as well. Most times when I order starberry matcha the flavor is bland but hers was reallly good. It was a little hard to sip it through the straw though because of the syrup. The server there was extremely sweet as well. I didn't catch her name but I think she had an eyebrow piercing (?? Maybe??) but she was extremely helpful and made conversation. Loved the customer service. I also saw the workers who were making my drink take their time and care with it and measure everything properly with scales and everything which was great to see.

Their coffee is really good; I particularly like their dine-in-only Phin drip cream-top coffee. Though it is a little pricy, it comes with its own little drip setup, your choice of type of cream, and a little pastry snack. I also like their refreshers, though I would recommend the lower sweetness option, but I wouldn't recommend their matcha. Their food options are also appealing--their báhn mìs are quite good, but their pâté chauds were already sold out at ~12:30 PM, which was a little disappointing. I hope to try more of their food and snack options in the future. I would say that their prices range from being relatively reasonable (particularly for the food) to a little pricy (for some of the drinks). The quality varies, but is overall pretty good. It's also a good spot to study or work, as it has free Wifi and a number of electrical outlets, but it isn't open particularly late. Overall, I would definitely recommend you give this spot a try, particularly if you like good, strong coffee with a snack. The service is friendly and fast, the interior is clean and aesthetically pleasing, and the bathroom is clean (though the paper towel dispenser was empty or broken today).
