We won't go out of our way but it served our purpose today. I wasn't wowed by their display case. Prices looked high and food looked dry.

Ordered a butter croissant but ended up getting a spinach and feta croissant.

I haven't been here for months but this place has been rebranded from "K On the Go" to "Latthé…read moreRoast & Toast". In Union City, the brand is the same. Just particularly here in Milpitas they rebranded it. I think they're trying to put more focus on their signature toasts, not just their drinks. Pretty much everything else is almost the same in terms of foods, drinks, atmosphere, services, etc. One thing I like about it is how slightly cheaper it is to get coffee here compared my last visit. Most drinks now starts at $5 (+$1 for large size) instead of $6.50 I think. It makes it more convenient if people want to save money and not consume too much. Though I do want to try their toasts in the future. I need to go over what type of toasts they have.

There's some general outside seating, but the the shop is too small to have indoor seating (I ended up waiting for my drink outside because it can hold about 2 people before it gets awkward). The service itself is great--ordering and receiving my drink happened quickly, and the drink I ordered came with an osmanthus syrup that I could definitely taste (there were bits of the osmanthus in the drink, which could be a plus or minus depending on personal preference). The matcha was fragrant, and I did enjoy my drink. I will say that it does err on the pricy side, at around $7-9 per drink. I liked my drink, but maybe not enough to justify the cost, especially considering there isn't any space to sit down and relax. Definitely worth a shot if you're interested in some of their more unique items, but probably not a regular stop, at least for me.

First of all, they use there bare hands to prep the food (not up to code). Second, the Asian lady who is the order taker asks you "what you want" I don't think that's an appropriate way to take somones order. They just seem like they don't want to be there. and then from my total of 17.98$ for two sandwiches she got mad because I didn't tip the minimum of 6$ that the machine was proposing and she got mad and stormed away. This place is totally not a vibe. It's really bad service in my eyes. Good luck through the winter. read more

The prices are to die for, this is my go to place for a quick breakfast fix or well deserved snack. The guy that serves the donuts and rings up customers is super cute and friendly. He even gave me free donut holes once, totally made my day. They even take credit card with NO minimums. How lovely is that. The decor is not awesome, and a bit dated, but the nostalgia wins me over every time. read more
