    Black Forest Mocha

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Black Forest Latte
    Kimm N.

    This is one of the coffee shops I would frequent whenever I'm in Sunnyvale/Mountain View area. Come primarily for their coffee. They have many latte varieties including this Black Forest Mocha which you don't see offered often in other cafes. I asked for less sweet and you still get a good balance of caffeine strength and fruitiness (from the raspberry syrup used I guess). Dessert wise I'm not a fan.. the selection of choices pretty limited. The only appealing item to us this time was the Crème brûlée cake which to our surprise was a little too hard (more of a cheesecake texture). My friend and I ordered thinking it'll be more of a crème brûlée softer texture but this isn't. Ambiance - great. Spacious and lots of room for group chat or work. And not noisy too despite a busy fairly packed Friday afternoon.

    The best Molly Tea in the Bay Area. I know they are all Molly Tea, but having tried different…read morelocations, this one has consistently delivered perfect drinks each time. Of their drinks on the menu, white champaca, white champaca oolong, dancong, white champaca matcha are the top drinks I cycle through. Although they recommend 70%, I actually prefer 30% sweetness, less ice. Truly brings out the tea flavor. This location had a new drink Camellia during the LNY. However, I have not seen it on the menu since March. Hopefully they'll bring it back. They now have order online via their website (chowbus), and I recently learned that they have an app. This makes ordering drinks at this location easy since it is located in corner strip mall with minimal parking.

    If you find yourself free on a weekday afternoon and craving Molly Tea, it is the best time to go…read more I stopped by at 12 PM and ordered at the kiosk inside. The interior is clean, beautiful, and smells like fragrant tea. I'm so used to waiting 30-50 minutes for drink at their other locations, like San Mateo. I had fully accepted my fate after placing the order, so I immediately walked back to my car to snack on In N Out fries. 5 minutes later, I got a text that my order was ready! There is a sign by the registers stating that drinks are best enjoyed within 15 minutes to prevent the foam from melting too much. I like how their employees ask if you want whipped cream on top of Snowy drinks when you arrive at the pick-up counter. I believe you can ask for the whipped cream in a paper cup instead and get a small package of pecans. They automatically do this for online takeout orders. The Snowy Jasmine is phenomenal! It's fragrant and floral, you can tell the tea is high quality and not watered down. I absolutely love the pecans topping, so unique and yummy. I used to think their super thin straw was just a gimmick, but the tea honestly tastes better through the small straw than a regular straw. 4 stars because the Tongmu Lapsang Bubble Tea is just OK, nothing special. Sunnyvale is one of the better locations and Molly Tea is a solid choice for bubble tea.

It's a bit of a mixed bag depending on what you get. The lychee milk tea with 50% sugar and less ice was a 6.5 because you can barely taste the lychee, it was very faint and just tasted like a regular milk tea. 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.
