    I had a pleasant experience at the Bean Scene Cafe this past Friday. Parking is free and plentiful in the surrounding lots. There was no wait to order at the counter, and about 15 minutes for my food to be served to my table around lunch time. Staff was super friendly and helpful. I got the sausage & cheese omelette (with provolone instead of swiss), pancakes without syrup, and an iced mocha with nonfat milk. Wow, everything was amazing. The iced mocha had strong flavors of coffee and mocha. The side of pancakes came with a stack of two good-sized fluffy and buttery pieces, a yummy treat. The omelette was tasty, with the ingredients spread nicely making every single bite a savory delight. The dish came with toast which I discarded since I already had the pancakes. It was such a satisfying meal altogether.

    Real Coffee made well. Old school coffee shop vibe. Nice lunch offerings. Atmosphere: Usually 80's and 90's music. Most people on devices some play games or having small meeting. Daily papers for sale And hats and T shirt merch. Coffee Refills $1.75. Central location in the heart of Sunnyvale. Solid service, sometimes it's very busy so it will be on slower side. Outdoor seating available.

    Been here a million of times! Love the food and normally I order a vanilla iced latte. I have tried the slush drinks and they are always a hit! Service is really fast and the cafe has a cozy vibe. Perfect for dates, studying, reading, or hanging out!

    Black Forest mocha

    I stopped by on a Sunday afternoon. The place had good crowd. I went for the fan favorite Black Forest mocha. It was very good with a strong chocolate taste. Mango mousse was just ok. I thought it was harder than I would like.

    Came here with some friends to order coffee to go. I ordered the Black Forest Mocha. It was good! Loved how there were many choices of coffees that had different flavors. I will need to go back and try the others!

    Visited this café early in the morning to grab breakfast and coffee, and I loved the vibe. There were groups of people sipping coffee, chatting, working, and reading,it felt like a slow, relaxed morning. I ordered the Black Forest latte and an everything bagel with cream cheese. The latte was really great, with a nice balance of chocolate and cherry flavors. Having tried many New York bagels, I felt the toasted everything bagel with cream cheese was a bit dry and hard. I'd definitely come back for the latte and the vibe, but probably not for the bagel.

    Have been coming to this cafe for over 15 years. My favorite drink is the Black Forest Mocha!!! They also have pastries and lunch items. Great place to gather or work out of.

    We swung by bean scene cafe for a quick breakfast. Luckily this cafe opens early compared to others in the area. We got the almond joy mocha and the Black Forest mocha. We also got everything bagels with cream cheese. The service was super fast. We expected the service to take longer cz of the line and were left pleasantly surprised. The mochas tasted amazing and the bagels were surprisingly fresh. The ambience is a bit dated but we noticed a lot of people coming in here to work cz of the abundant seating. Definitely a good cafe to check out in Sunnyvale downtown!

    Definitely your neighborhood coffee shop. Family owned with a great staff. They are personable, professional, and they make you feel like a regular. My regular is an espresso and (sometimes) a biscotti. Over the years I actually haven't eaten here, but we have had pastries & desserts, which are very good! There is local art on the walls and an old school coffee shop feel inside. There are plenty of tables outside, but it can get busy on weekends. Luckily, there are plenty of benches around and there's nothing wrong with grabbing a seat on the curb since the street is closed to cars.

    Lovely coffee and a quaint atmosphere. I ordered a cappuccino, perfectly done! My friend ordered a Philly Cheese steak and liked it.

    Avocado toast with fresh fruit
    Jasmin M.

    Bean scene is so cozy and homey. I had the avocado toast on sourdough with fruit on the side. The fruit was fresh and delicious. I like to watch my sodium intake I didn't realize the sea salt flakes on the avocado toast made it sooo salty, it was delicious but I personally cannot have salt. I didn't realize this when I first ordered. I nonetheless finished it but I think it important to note if you care about that. I've had the Black Forest mocha, and the green tea latte (matcha) and I I think they are great drinks but not something I would say is outstanding. I just really enjoy the vibes it's so perfect for reading.

    I really like this place, tucked away on the ground floor of an apartment building, near the train…read moretracks by Lawrence & Reed. You won't accidentally stumble upon it unless you make an effort to seek it out. Despite this, it seems to be well known by locals and the seating area gets full at times. There is plenty of seating inside, and some outside. Outlets can be found it some tables. It's a good place to work with your laptop. It's mostly tables for 2. There's a larger communal table, and some counter seating. Parking can be difficult. There's a small area in the parking garage for "guest" parking. It's almost always full and you will depend on luck to find one spot there or arrive in time when someone is leaving their spot. There is no parking on most of the surrounding streets, except for the small section of the road that curves underneath Lawrence. And that part is often full of parked cars. It can be frustrating and this parking situation will easily drive away customers to find somewhere else with easier parking. If you're fortunate enough to get parking, you will find that Coffeebar offers a decent coffee menu, baked goods, and some food if you need more than a snack. The people working behind the counter have all been very friendly and helpful. Their Chocolate Croissant is HUGE!!! They'll ask if you want it warmed up. Definitely do this. It is delicious slightly warmed up. I have tried their Iced Chai Latte, which was just OK. It lacked the spice I was expected from a chai, and felt a bit too milky. I prefer their Iced Caramel Latte, which is much better than the Chai. Next time I will try their Mocha.

    Only one tall seat; wish there were more tall seats which is healthier :(…read more Pros - nice and clean restroom, gives it an upscale vibe - They are nice enough to give you free refills when you have your own cup - Cal-train station is nearby WiFi SSID: "@Coffeebar Guest WiFi"

I genuinely wasn't expecting it to be that good, but I'm already thinking about getting it again. It was super busy this morning, and I honestly felt bad for the girl working because there were so many people waiting for drinks. She was moving so fast, her coworker was watching her multitasking like crazy, and still managed to put out really good-quality drinks. She was also so sweet and even took the time to have a little conversation with me while she was juggling everything. She deserves some recognition! Great drinks, great service, and I'll definitely be coming back.

There's plenty of outdoor sitting which is nice. It is a table outside from where you are ordering and picking up your order. After the person in front of me placed their order I was patiently waiting for the guy to take mines. He asked me to wait for awhile long enough for a huge line to form behind me. He seemed nice and no small talk until after I placed my order. Not sure if he was new but he seemed uncomfortable taking my order. It also took awhile for me to get my order since there was only 1 person making the drinks. I also had to cap my own drinks because of how busy they were. I got the butterscotch latte and the Matcha latte with blueberry cream top. First off, for the butterscotch latte it is very plain. Barely has any butterscotch flavoring in it. It's not bad but not good either. Nothing about it stands out. Next the other drink I had higher hopes for, the matcha latte with blueberry cream top. Unfortunately the cream top was more like liquid and barely any was on there. The cream top looked more white than it did blue/purple which is strange because of the other photos on here which is very misleading. Tldr: the drinks are ok but nothing unique/outstanding about them in terms of flavor. They should definitely hire more people as well for the amount of customers they have.

It's a bit of a mixed bag depending on what you get.

The da hong pao milk tea with 25% sugar and less ice was also a 6.5 since it had a really strong herbal taste that I wasn't a huge fan of. The best one was definitely the ceylon cheese milk tea at 25% sugar. It was way more creamy and rich than the others so I'd give that a 6.9.
