    If you're a real coffee drinker this may not be the place for you. However if you're looking for a cute place to chat and some good food this might be your place!

    In a town with many matcha options I chose to come to Con Azucar because their specialty drink options caught my attention. I absolutely love Horchata and I love Matcha as well so when I saw that they had a combined option called the Horchata Matcha I was absolutely thrilled. The taste did not disappoint. I tried both the hot and cold version and had no complaints on either. Creamy, cinnamon, smooth and reasonably priced. The cafe is decorated very cute. Vibrant colors and a cute grass wall for the perfect selfies of either yourself or your drinks. Staff was nice and the store holds a corner location so it's easy to find.

    The service here is always good, the drinks are delicious and so is the food and bakery items! My family and I have tried the conchas, cookies, and tortas here and they were all delicious! My favorite drink is probably the mazapan latte! The vibes are cute too, love the decor!

    BIG Concha!
    CJ O.

    Usually when items are sized up, they lose flavor, moisture, something.To my surprise, the Big Concha taste exactly as the average one, in fact, maybe a little more flavorful! The service was very quick. The workers looked like they were on a mission to deliver great customer service. I wouldn't recommend the Big Concha if you're alone (unless you burn an extra 5,000 calories a day), but it's definitely worth getting if to share at the office or with friends!

    I came here with my family as a quick coffee stop before leaving to San Diego. I was so amazed by this spot! The vibes inside are amazing and incredibly done. There's a swing for pictures with a slower back drop and roses on the ceiling. It was so pretty inside. The menu is pretty big, it was a little intense for our first time. They had a lot of cool options, even one where you can get a character printed in foam on your latte! All the pan dulce looked amazing too. Personally, I ended up getting the Duvalin latte and a cute bag of mini pan dulce. My coffee was so yummy! It tasted like strawberry milk was in my coffee, but in a good way. The bag of pan dulce was so cute! It had piggies, mini concha's, and the sugar croissant breads inside. All were very delicious and well made. My daughter got the pineapple fresca, which I tasted. It was the best pineapple Fresca I have had in a long time. I was very impressed! The rest of my family was very happy with their drinks too. Not only was the staff super friendly here, but the customers were too! A regular customer there saw me and my family contemplating with the menu and gave us drink advice. Everything about the experience was just great! Whenever I happen to return to this area of Cali I will have this spot in the top of my list to return to.

    Horchata Iced Latte
    Valeria O.

    This is such a cute coffee shop! As a lover of Mexican coffee, I come pretty often. My favorite is the horchata iced latte, but their cafe de olla is good too. I ordered the torta de jamón and was satisfied with it. The service was good and efficient, despite how busy they were!

    Had seen this coffee shop on IG and since I was passing by I decided to stop by! Love the ambiance, it's a modern day Hispanic coffee shop in downtown San Jose. Coffee would be as typical as any other coffee shop, I think the draw to this coffee shop is the nostalgia and nice decorations. Pass by check it out for yourself! You be the judge. Overall had a good experience.

    Ordering tablet
    Sara A.

    My mom has been wanting to try this place for awhile. We were in town and decided to check it out. I do not know how this place has so many people after our experience here. We walked in ordered at the tablet they have for self ordering. They were out of the giant concha which was a bummer. We got three mini pan dulces. They were fine and small in size than regular pan dulce. We ordered the mini rosca and then later told they were out prob due to them losing our order. They do have a variety bag with different ones you can take to go. We waited waited and waited I walked over to the coffee barista and asked her if our order was coming up as multiple people had come and gone. They said no we don't have an order for you so I asked if she could ask. They said the order had not printed so once they found it they told us it would be made. Waited and waited some more. I finally was just going to ask for a refund after an hour or waiting for two coffees and a small hot chocolate. The seasonal toasted marshmallow drink was good and my churro latte was good. The abuelita hot chocolate was hot water. No flavor or chocolate in sight. We would have said something but seeing how the process was going we just called it a loss. It's a small place with a couple tables so seating is limited. They have some seats outside also. Also a small section with merchandise with cute mugs and bowls for sale. Overall not a great experience with the customer service and experience. I am so understanding of mistakes but if you say you are going to make it right and get out order done since it was your error , do that but instead we waited more and had to walk up and tell her our order as it was made incomplete.

    Torta de Jamón with Bacon
    Madison B.

    We enjoyed the food! We got the torta de jamon and the club sandwich! The food was good and filling! Would come here for the food. The drinks were good, just very sweet! This may be good for some but too sweet for us. On doordash they don't let you substitute milks.

    Beautiful aesthetics and such a great vibe place, staff could be a little more customer service but it's a Tuesday early morning and maybe just a little getting ready for the day. Delicious variety and beautiful display, warm and delicious conchas that you can tell that our freshly made. Will definitely be coming back enjoyed that I was not rushed to leave.

    Shelby S.

    What a cute little place! Great for a photo op or just for a little coffee date between you and a friend. They have great pastries and coffee. There wasn't much of the line where we went, but the lady said that they're usually is but we went on a weekday. Definitely wanna try to get a vibe in a line. We're gonna come back to this place. We wanna have some nice coffee and sweet bite.

    Mazapan Latte and Horchata Latte
    Karishma K.

    Love this spot in DTSJ! Parking is all street parking but it's pretty doable to find around the block. The decor on the inside is really cute as well. I love the horchata and Mazapan lattes! And the presentation of the drinks is really cute, with the rims of the drinks being lined with chocolate almonds for the Mazapan and cinnamon sugar for the Horchata! Recommend coming here for a sweet treat

    I'm giving this place two stars: one for the food and one for some of the staff. When we arrived, the staff wasn't very welcoming. After waiting a few minutes to order, we were told to use the kiosk because the register wasn't working, which was totally fine. However, immediately after we placed our order at the kiosk, the staff proceeded to take the order of the customers behind us at the register. We assumed it was a coincidence and didn't think much of it at the time. The food itself was great. The presentation was decent, and everything was flavorful. My fiancé and his dad shared a super large concha, and I had a torta--both were delicious. We also shared a large coffee, which tasted great, but it was too big for us to finish. Since we aren't wasteful, we shared some with our table neighbors and planned to take the rest to go. This is where our experience went from okay to disappointing. My fiancé went to ask for to-go cups so we could take the remaining coffee. One of the staff members responded rudely, saying they could "only give us a few cups." My fiancé said that was fine since we were already sharing with our neighbors. However, we weren't given enough lids, so he went back to ask for lids, not more cups. The worker snapped back, saying she had already given us enough cups and couldn't give us more--again, he wasn't asking for cups. Because of how rude she was, my fiancé didn't want to approach her again. When we needed trays, his dad asked instead, and she was rude to him as well, insisting she had already given us enough cups--when he was clearly asking for trays. It felt like she wasn't listening at all and was just making assumptions. As we were leaving, I also saw this same worker pointing at us while talking to her coworker and referring to us as "them," which was very unprofessional. If there is a policy about not providing to-go containers, that's completely understandable--but it should be communicated politely. I work in the service industry myself, and the way this situation was handled was rude and disrespectful. Because of this experience, I will not be returning or recommending this place to others, even though the food itself was good.

    Do they take cash?

    No I didn't I paid card

    Any Price for the BIG concha and giant coffee?

    I went right after Thanksgiving and large coffee was $50. Concha's had two prices: large long one was $50, smaller round one was slightly cheaper.

    Can I make a reservation?

    You cannot. Also, dining tables are first come first served. Very limited.

    What is the best time to go without a long wait?

    Middle of the week 1st thing in the morning.

    How much is a large concha?

    $50

    Are the big concha's made to order and if so what's the time wait?

    They are available daily as first come first serve.

    How can I order a big concha with a big coffee, is it possible, or is just adds for instagram?

    Yes you can !! It's not just advertising

    Does the pan have egg in it? Are there any vegan options?

    I'm not sure; but you can request a vegan option.

    How do you get the artwork done on your hot drinks?

    You have to have the image on your phone. When you hand your phone to the barista make sure that your photo is ready. You pay a small fee to have it on your drink. Super fast and easy.

    Can you order online?

    Not yet but Con Azucar announced that they will be on DoorDash soon.

    Are the syrups dairy free? And is the horchata dairy free? I know some places put condensed milk or…

    They are not lactose free (I'm lactose intolerant).... They are also not dairy free (from a friend with a milk allergy)... Finally, their drinks pretty much all contain caffeine or coffee base, including the horchata. They changed the menu recently… 

    Do they have gluten free baked goods?

    Unsure if there are any gluten free baked goods... As far as I know, the concha and sandwiches aren't gluten free. Assume it isn't gluten free unless specially indicated.

    Do they have lactose free or non dairy milks?

    Yes they do! I believe they have soy & oat milk

    Do they have plant based milks?

    Yes

    My favorite coffee shop in San Jose. I look forward to going every time. All their drinks are…read moreexcellent. I started with the vanilla bean latte with oat milk. Good hot or iced. Occasionally burnt espresso but I love them too much to mind. I am a matcha snob to say the LEAST. Hands down best coffee shop matcha in the Bay Area. The classic iced matcha latte with honey is grassy and earthy and creamy and a little sweet. The iced banana pudding matcha latte had people lined up around the corner for months when it came out. It is deliciously worth the wait. Best banana cold foam in my opinion because it's made with actual bananas instead of flavoring so it's much more mellow. The double matcha they had for awhile is also awesome. Banana cold foam also goes great on an espresso latte. Now they let you add whichever cold foam you like to whatever drink which is great. Basically you can't go wrong. They are always changing up the menu for the new season and have lots of unique drinks on their menu. Not much seating inside at this location. The winchester Blvd one has more if that's what you're looking for. Their pastries are also all yummy and they sell their matcha powder for $60 for 100g which is a GREAT price for a great matcha. I would've gate kept this place but everyone already knows about it so I HAVE to show them the love they deserve!!

    Wanted a matcha and a friend recommended this place! Known for their Banana Cream Matcha latte…read more Came here abt 2:30pm on a Friday and it was a full house. There is a bench-like tables with stools and 3 yellow tables for seating. There was limited street parking. Quick and friendly service - basic "what can I get you?" and no convo. I liked the hojicha the most but all drinks were good. Banana matcha was creamy and sweet. Vanilla cold brew was yummy and vanilla was not too overpowering. Would come again to try their pastries, they were allllll out. Order: 1 Matcha Banana Cream $8.50 1 Hojicha Banana Cream $8.50 1 Madagascar Vanilla Cold Brew $5.50

For food, I tried the Gochujang Corn Cheese Scallion Focaccia and Egg Sando. Egg Sando: Very tasty, fluffy, and seasoned just right. Gochujang Corn Cheese Scallion Focaccia: Huge slice that was nice and savory. Definitely get it heated up if you're eating it there. Even though it's always busy, they get the drinks out pretty fast! Workers are always friendly and happy to give recommendations.

    Wanted to try a new coffee shop today. Moonwake came up…read morefirst on the ol Yelpy search. The are located in the same parking lot as the Country Inn right off of Saratoga Ave. When wifey and arrived there was plenty of parking. The inside of Moonwake is rather large for a coffee shop with plenty of seats and space, the outside has about 4-5 small "2 seat" tables. If you walk straight in "and keep walking" you will see their roasting room, that looks like a mad scientist lab with computers and beacons. It was pretty cool watching them proofing the coffee. I ordered a decaf iced Mocha with 1/2 & 1/2 and a Berry pistachio croissant, wifey ordered a regular coffee with room. Wifey's coffee had a delicate earthy flavor. "For regular coffee it was quite good" 4 stars My Mocha even with the 1/2 & 1/2 was good but did not have the body I like. 2.5 stars. "For said items $21.45" The Croissant was absolutely amazing, decadent, buttery, crispy, and chewy. Honestly it's the best one I've had short of Arsicault Bakery in San Francisco. Yeah man these are nearly that good! 5 stars for sure! The service was good and the employees were nice and helpful. Overall rating in my opinion, this place is solidly in the 4 star area. And I will be coming back for their croissants. :-D
