    I stopped by Caffeinated Cowboy and tried the Monkey Matcha. The cafe is really cute, and there's a parking lot right next to it, which makes it very convenient. They also have plenty of seating, a restroom for customers, and they're open until 4 PM, which is great if you're looking for a place to hang out or get some work done. The Monkey Matcha wasn't my favorite. It was much sweeter than I expected and didn't really taste like matcha. If you like a stronger, more traditional matcha flavor, this one may not be for you. That said, I'd definitely come back to try their coffee. Their summer menu looked delicious, and there were several drinks that caught my eye. Overall, it's a cozy spot with a great atmosphere, and I'm looking forward to giving their coffee a try next time.

    The first time I tried coming here, I stopped by around 3 PM and they had already run out of ice, so I came back two weeks later to finally try their drinks since the menu sounded interesting. The drinks weren't bad, but I feel like they weren't anything especially unique or memorable. They use Torani syrups, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it does make the drinks taste similar to other places that use the same syrups. The flavors also leaned a little more toward an artificial syrup taste rather than something that felt more homemade or distinctive. I ordered the banana coffee, but they had run out of the banana whip and substituted it with banana cold foam instead. It was still fine, but unfortunately it didn't have any wow factor. Overall, the drinks are decent, but I wouldn't go out of my way to come back or make a special trip for them.

    Some tables to the right and bar seats to the left large counter. Ordered the bee happy lavender honey matcha. Punch card 10 drinks for a free one. Bee happy - not bad matcha not as strong as other matcha cafes in the city but the taste of lavender was strong without too much sweetness. Matcha flavor is present without much bitterness but doesn't especially stand out either. 7.5/10 not bad

    This is such a cute little coffee shop next to jacks car wash. I wish I had known so I could've dropped my car off lol. I would say the coffee and matcha is on the sweeter side, so if you don't like that this may not be the place for you. We got three drinks -French toast latte -monkey matcha - summer menu blueberry matcha The monkey matcha had a yummy banana flavor and vanilla cold foam. The flavor was not intense and overpowering instead very well paired with the vanilla cold foam. It's on the larger size I think it's 12-16 ounces, and it's one size. The French toast latte was my brother's choice and he loved it. He said the cinnamon was not overwhelming and he drank it so fast... The blueberry matcha was perfect for the summer and had Coconut flakes on top! Cute couches, very comfortable and clean space. The servers were kind. The only thing that's a bit of a pain was the fact that the lot is packed and there's no street parking so you might want to mentally prepare for either walking from a down the street spot or waiting awhile for parking

    This coffee shop is so cute. Everyone who works there is very friendly and I enjoy their drinks. I mean who doesn't love a cold foam in whatever flavor you want. And the cinns cupcakes are very tasty there as well. I don't understand the hateful people with their stupid reviews. It's a coffee shop they make coffee, yes you can make it at home but you're not going to. What do the other places do count the beans in each drink? Y'all sound miserable. Keep up the good work and tasty coffee!

    Cute new coffee shop near hillsdale mall in San Mateo. Parking lot has a decent number of spots thankfully, but I could see it being hard to find it spot during peak times. The shop is actually pretty big and open, and it's well maintained inside. Staff are very friendly and even came and handed us our drinks/food which we didn't expect! I got the french toast latte and my partner got the bee happy matcha latte. We both really enjoyed them :) the cups they came in were pretty big too.

    A great addition to have next to the car wash! Friendly service, fun theming and good coffee! I ordered the iced Howdy Honey latte which has cinnamon and honey. A very tasty drink with good quality espresso. I like the seating area here both inside and outside, although the outside area hasn't changed. The interior has been painted a really pleasant, light pink, and the new decor is an added touch. They still have the weird couches the old place had, but it's a nice place to sit while you wait for your car to be cleaned. Overall, great new place!

    Very excited to try this place as I saw it all over Tiktok. I basically drink a cold brew every day so I LOVE a good cold brew and the flavored cold foams are my weekend treats. So of course I had to get a cold brew with strawberry foam. When I tried it, the strawberry foam honestly did not do it for me, it was very artificial, it reminded me of strawberry Nesquik. I couldn't really tell if the cold brew itself was good because it was overpowered by the flavor of artificial strawberry. Not my favorite :( but I would come back to try other ones esp since the people here seem super friendly and would love to support and maybe this one was just a miss.

    The drinks were pretty generic--nothing impressive or memorable. There were only two menus available(for the whole establishment it seemed)in front of the register, so we had to wait for the people ahead of us to read the menu .... then order .., for us to do the same since we've never been. The interior was also very nondescript and didn't really have much of a vibe. I checked this place out, got it out of my system, and probably wouldn't go back.

    Toasted Saddle Cold Brew

    I found this place on tiktok from their post about their soft opening. I wanted to try this place and it didn't disappoint at all! We went on a Saturday afternoon and there was plenty of parking out front. It is a pretty spacious place and I love how it has natural light that makes the place stand out! As soon as we came in we were greeted with a friendly place. With it being our first time here we asked the barista what they would recommend. We tried the Toasted Saddle. The toasted marshmallow cold foam was to absolutely die for! I love how the cold foam gave the cold brew just enough balance between bitter and sweet. I can't wait to come back and try their matcha and use my punch card!

    I work nearby and was so touched when the owner personally dropped off loyalty cards at our office, such a sweet gesture! On my first visit, the barista recommended the New Year's Bliss Vanilla Matcha with Strawberry Cold Foam, and it is incredible. If you're like me and love a sweeter matcha, this is the drink for you. The 'Western Chic' interior is adorable, and I'm so excited they offer Reviver Red Bulls, the Peninsula definitely needed a spot like this! I'll be back soon to work my way through the rest of the menu.

    Super cute western coffee shop in the Bay Area !

    I saw a few Tik toks recently about Caffeinated Cowboy & thought ...I should give this coffee shop a try! I really enjoy an iced latte and ordered the French toast one. It was a great balance of maple and cinnamon. The service was quick and easy and a calm environment. The decor around the shop was very cute from cow hide, leather and rustic florals. A must try for the Bay Area !

    Andrea R.

    Popped in after a friend shared they have fun flavor profiles. Super impressed with the baristas customizing drinks for me in latte form. The espresso was delicious and I really enjoyed their housemade syrups. Portions are great & if you are looking to sit inside, there's plenty of space!

Both burritos were satisfying and definitely worth trying. The restaurant has an open layout with plenty of parking, making it easy to stop by. It's located next to a car mechanic shop, and I liked that they had old-school Pokémon playing on the TV--it added a fun nostalgic vibe while I was eating. Customer service was acceptable, but nothing really stood out. It's more of a self-service experience, so if you want water or anything else, you'll need to get up and grab it yourself. It would've been nice if someone checked in once or twice. One thing that did confuse me happened on a different visit. I arrived around 1:50 p.m. hoping to order food to go, but the gentleman locked the door and told me they were no longer taking orders. If you close at 2 i dont see how you were closed already. It was a little odd since there were still plenty of customers inside eating. I understand kitchens have closing times, but it would've been helpful if the hours or last call for food were clearer. Overall, it's a solid spot for a good breakfast burrito with a laid-back atmosphere. Despite that one experience, I'd still come back and recommend giving it a try.

We were tired, hungry, and desperately in need of coffee. Drake's looked perfect and great reviews. The restaurant itself is charming. There's a small upstairs dining area, and the downstairs bar looked like the quickest way to get food, so we headed there. But the welcome was awkward. A man at the front desk clearly heard us walk in but didn't look up or acknowledge us. After a moment, a woman came over with a big smile, which was nice, but she didn't say a word just handed us menus. So we seated ourselves at the bar.
