Black Forest mocha
Sho R.

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!

Blackforest latte
Mugdha A.

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!

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

super cute coffee shop! + nice area to walk around in downtown sunnyvale. service was VERY fast, and super friendly folks working here. we ordered a vanilla iced latte and it was decent!

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.

My first time eating here and it won't be my last.I ordered one of their fine panini sandwiches.I got a the chicken melt with avocado, lettuce, tomato, pesto, provolone cheese.The sandwich came with a choice of side.I chose the salad. Everything was delicious.I highly recommend.I also ordered a diet Coke. The service was awesome.I Sat inside as there is both inside and outside seating .

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.

Solid spot for coffee and breakfast on Murphy in downtown Sunnyvale. Our party with two pups stopped by on an early Monday morning and enjoyed their outdoor seating area. They have a lot of different combinations for breakfast both for food and lattes so brace yourself. They weren't too busy so our food was prepared quickly and it was tasty.

Chocolate Slush
Michael A.

The food here is really good. Even tho I got a bagel I would suggest people try the lemon bar. It's super delicious. Kenny is super friendly and always makes you smile. He always makes good conversations with the customers. It's usually busy here depending when you come in. If you come in early enough it's super quiet. The hot chocolate here is so good. I have also had the chocolate slush here too during the summers which is also sooo good.

Came by to try after lunch on Mother's Day, probably around 4PM. The place was SUPER busy when we…read morewent, but the service was still really fast and organized, we got our drinks within 10 minutes. The interior is modern and really cute, and they even have a dog check-in photo wall which was so so cute ! We got the snowy Jasmine with boba. Drinks themselves were light, fragrant, and refreshing. Even at 100% sweetness, they actually weren't too sweet, I would even argue getting 125% to match other boba places 100% sweetness. The boba had a really good flavor and sweetness to it that balanced everything out perfectly. Overall a great spot to grab a drink. Next time I want to try their Pistachio Matcha Coconut water so I will be coming back!

Thank goodness for weekdays off! I went on a random Tuesday afternoon close to their opening time…read moreat 11am and let me tell you, hardly a soul in sight. I even got a pic of the seating without anyone in my photo. SCORE! I would highly recommend a day other than the weekend. I would give this place a 3.5 if I could. I just ordered a drink for myself and for my brother. In and out in maybe 10minutes? There's a kiosk to order and a spot to pick up your drink-- very efficient. I got the basic jasmine milk tea because I love jasmine tea and knew that if any place were to make the best jasmine milk teas, it would be this place. Molly is Chinese for jasmine anywayyyyyy (shout out to my coworker for telling me this!). I did not try my brother's tea so I cannot comment on it. I liked my jasmine tea, I can tell it was higher quality than other places I've had jasmine tea, but is it worth the hype? I don't think so. It's good, don't get me wrong, but wait-in-a-3-hour-line good? nothing is. I think I've also become desensitized to the high tea prices that $7-8 is somehow normal? When it shouldn't be! My only frame of reference nowadays is seeing how much tea cost in Asia. And in Taiwan (the birthplace of boba) I got boba for $3 ;( *sigh oh well I live in one of the most expensive places in the country but also I cannot believe I let myself think this is okay. Anyway, it's a treat, not a habit I would give into everyday.

I stopped by for takeout. They have a wide variety of drinks…read moremade with different types of tea leaves, so I'd say this place is great not just for boba lovers, but also for people who genuinely enjoy tea. The food menu was also more extensive than I expected, making it a good spot if you're a little hungry too! Xiangxi Hot and Sour Rice Noodles You can choose the spice and sourness level, so I went with extra sour. I thought it would be small since it's listed as a side dish, but the portion was big lol. The peanuts added a really nice crunchy texture too! Changsha Stinky Tofu It was my first time trying stinky tofu, and wow...the smell was definitely strong and the flavor was super unique. I think it's one of those foods people either love or hate, but it's definitely worth trying at least once for the experience!

Tried a few different drinks here to see what they hype is about as I always see a lot of people…read morehere when driving by since it's near busy intersection. 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.
