First off, I love that I live 5 min away from a Philz Coffee. Win win for me. I usually order the mint mojito. Yes I'm that basic b but hey I like what I like. But let me tell you a new item that I recently ordered for my husband that might be my new drink. Any guesses? Well it's the peanut butter cup cold brew. Yes girrrl I did take just a sip of it and damn it's pretty good. It's different but good different. You know? Also if I only based my ratings on the drinks this would easily be 5 stars but I have to say that it's such a long ass wait at this location. I usually order on the app and even then I waited a total of 45 min. Can you imagine waiting in line, ordering, then waiting another 45 min? Wild! Sooo wild. It was a Friday afternoon and there were 3 people working but still. Overall I love coming here but they need to figure out how to staff appropriately during peak hours. That's it! If you found this review helpful, give me a thumbs up and a follow. Ok byeeee.

The staff were very friendly and the service was quick. I started with the strawberry matcha when I first arrived. The matcha didn't seem of the highest quality - the color wasn't very vibrant and tasted ok but I appreciated the strawberry puree. Would not get again, especially for $10. For lunch I enjoyed the peach tostada. It was delightful. The fruit was yummy and paired well with the cheese and the kettle chips were good. A great light summer lunch. Would return.

It also has an old-timey study or library or at least a literary vibe to this place. There's multiple rooms, including a stage in the back room. I think they have events here. Service is friendly and they have classic drinks as well as some festive ones. I was here on St. Patrick's Day so I got something festive even though it was overly sugary lol. I ordered the Lucky Charms White Mocha. It was tasty, but definitely a drink I wouldn't be able to order on the regular. I was able to set up my computer and one of the side rooms and get some work done. This place seems to be a very popular place for studying and doing some work. Just a great place in a great area. They have a large lot and there's also plenty of street parking in the area, especially during the day.

Customer ( young lady) started to apologize , she herself takes that cup of coffee to the counter and that guy in the hat was asking her : " did you drink it already? no? good...."-- unbelievable. I do not come here often ( lately), just for that reason-- so slow and then mess up your order ( happened to mine as well)-- plus service itself.... Not recommend, if you looking for a better experience and better tasting coffee-- there are plenty other around in the area.

I recently discovered one of the Bay Area's best kept secrets. 100% Kona Coffee, right here in our…read moreown backyard. I'm talking about Mokulele Farms Kona Coffee. Who are they? Quite simply, they are a husband and wife team who splits their time between the Big Island of Hawaii and Pleasanton. They own a small farm in Kona, complete with acres of coffee trees that grow from volcanic rock, producing coffee that has been certified as 100% Kona (meaning it is not blended with other types of coffee beans). After the coffee is grown, picked, roasted and packaged, they bring it to Pleasanton where they sell it at the local farmers' market and other events. That's where we become the winners. Having the chance to purchase a half-pound or one-pound bag of this amazing whole bean coffee, direct from the farmers is extremely rare on the mainland. But that's exactly what you get when you buy from Mokulele Farms. The coffee itself has a wonderful aroma that is only outdone by its smooth taste and rich flavor. Oh, and by the way. They also sell wonduful tasting, fresh macadamia nuts, that are also grown on their farm in Kona. These macadamias are full of natural flavor and are even bigger than the over-roasted, salty ones that you find in the supermarket. I also found out that Mokulele Farms sells their products online through their website. So if you can't get out to the farmers' market, you can order right from home. Don't be fulled by the other so-called Kona Coffee's out there. Mokulele Farms 100% Kona Coffee is certified as such and you will find that every drop of this amazing coffee is well-worth every cent that you pay for it.

I hope they don't get too big and outgrow the personalized serve and next door neighbor feel.

Delah Coffee is an absolute gem. OPEN to 12!!!!…read more From the moment you walk in, you can tell they put a lot of thought into creating a beautiful, welcoming space. There's plenty of private parking, lots of indoor and outdoor seating, and the upscale décor makes it a great place to meet friends, get some work done, or simply enjoy a quiet cup of coffee. I ordered the Caramel Macchiato, and it was easily one of the best I've ever had. Rich espresso, perfectly balanced sweetness, and incredibly smooth. The pastries were just as impressive. The Pistachio Baklava Nest was generously filled with pistachios and had the perfect balance of crunch and sweetness. The Biscoff Cheese Danish was another standout, topped with Biscoff drizzle and a whole Biscoff cookie that made every bite even better. The café also has a large-screen TV and clean, separate men's and women's restrooms, making it comfortable for longer visits. Whether you're stopping by for your morning coffee or meeting up with friends, Delah Coffee delivers excellent drinks, delicious pastries, and an inviting atmosphere. I'll definitely be back to try more of their menu.

Location: Super elegant, chilly, lots of seating, overall very good vibes. The workers were nice,…read moredidnt have to wait to order which was nice and overall very welcoming even when they accidently spilled my drink they remade it right away. Food: I went here twice and every single time I get any of the shwarmas or meat pies, its cold. Not just a little bit, the entire inside and bottom is soggy cold. It tastes good, super light not heavy, but the coldness makes it unappetizing unfortunatly. Additionally, the biscoff cake was super dry for a milk cake, but the taste is still nice. The saffron and caramel cake are nice though, milky, sweet, pairs well with a hot drink. Drink: Dissapointing. Matcha, Chai, Latte, Smoothie, Refresher--I tried them all and was dissapointing. Matcha (latte, mango, and strawberry) tasted insanely water, same with the adani chai--which is something I look forward to at every cafe. I think increasing the milk content in the chai could really improve it. Coffee was also done poorly (iced and hot). Refresher was alright, super sweet but other than that it wasnt bad. The only thing that was the best was the smoothie. The mangorabian tastes like a chocolatey mango lassi, you can't go wrong with a smoothie. Room for improvement on everything. Overall: Very nice elegant cafe that is perfect for hangouts and doing work, the food needs to get warmed up longer to avoid coldness and all the drinks need to be improved to increase the quality of the taste. Looking forward to the change!

No. This place is not good. I visited on a Friday around noon…read more Location: Pretty random location honestly. It's not an area I'd go out of my way to visit again. If the food, drinks, and service had been worth it, maybe I would. Drinks: Not good at all. We tried ordering the qaimogh chai/sheer chai, and the person at the register initially told us they were sold out. I literally paused and asked, "How?" She then said it might've been a system error and went to check. A minute later she came back and said they actually did have it. For a café that had only been open a few hours, it was strange to almost be "out" of tea and milk already. Considering their website says, "offering tea is the first gesture of welcome", you should probably have the tea available in the first place. The qaimogh itself was disappointing too. It wasn't rich or fully developed in flavor at all. It was thin and underwhelming. From the other reviews regarding drinks, it's clear that the employees aren't well trained in making drinks especially coffee. Food: Honestly embarrassing. Any good food establishment, regardless of culture, serves fresh food with care and pride. A lot of the items on display tasted store bought, stale, cold and reheated, or just not freshly made. The prices they charge makes no sense. It's unclear what is actually baked fresh there because nothing tasted fresh. Their website says, "every cup and every bite are prepared with intention, using the best ingredients available, and always served with care." That was definitely not my experience. Wait Time: This part made no sense. When we arrived, there was only one group of about 4-5 people finishing up and maybe two other customers working on their laptops with their drinks already in hand. Yet it still took at least 25 minutes to get our drinks. It seems like it's the standard to wait at least 25 minutes even if there is not a lot of customers. The food items (which were already sitting on display) came out at the same time. She basically just grabbed them and put them on a plate. That wait time was ridiculous considering nothing seemed freshly prepared. Customer Service: Beyond everything I already mentioned, the service overall was lacking. While we waited, ate, and even as we were leaving, the tables from previous customers still hadn't been cleaned. Atmosphere: The best way I can describe it is "culture presented for a Western audience." It didn't feel warm, inviting, or authentic to me at all. Definitely not the "you'll always feel at home here" vibe they advertise. Especially with customer service (and food) that's cold. I wanted to leave as soon as possible. They were also playing really depressing Ahmad Zahir songs in the background the entire time. Reviews from Others: From the reviews from people other than friends/family of the business- it wasn't just me who left with a bad taste. People do want to support the business but would appreciate honesty, integrity in their food and drinks, and good customer service. Advice: In your website or in the cafe, please describe in some way where the food items are sourced from and if they are actually prepared and cooked fresh daily. Listing the ingredients is also important. Many places will indicate something along the lines of "house made", "made fresh daily", "cooked from scratch", "from a local baker", "made with ___", etc.
