    Dr. ink was really cute. The interior was clean and comfortable, however getting a table here might require you to pull up before 11am lol. The parking is in the back but very limited so keep that in mind. They pre batched their matcha and keep it on ice to preserve the flavor, and it's not on the sweet side. If you're looking for a dessert matcha look elsewhere. I liked my latte it was more on the umami side, and I kind of wished I got an iced coffee instead since they have a nice selection of lattes. Very minimalist vibes in this coffee bar. Baristas are attentive and refilling water for customers. If you order online you have to go to the bar and get your order which I like that they don't just leave it sitting at the bar for someone to snatch up.

    A new Dr Ink location!! This location long ago used to be a tpumps shop, then another boba place took over , fast forward to now a Dr Ink coffee shop! The cream tops they make for their coffees are delicious!! I had ordered the peanut butter latte and it was very tasty the coffee didn't overpower the peanut butter taste nor did the peanut butter taste overpower the coffee. Very well balanced! There is parking in the back of the plaza but very limited so just be cautious about that. The ambiance inside this shop was very quiet and study friendly. They do have plenty of tables and seats so do not worry if you're coming with a group:) The only negative thing about this shop to me is the sun does hit it directly during the day so its really warm inside, and knowing summer is coming soon for me I think its best to order that latte to go !!

    I loved my stop at Dr. Ink in Cupertino. They have a stylish modern vibe and superior coffee from Onyx. I had a sesame latte which was spectacular. Seating was comfortable and the service professional. The barista knew about their coffee. They offer seasonal favorites and a good selection of snacks.

    I forgot how I found this place, but it's new so here I am. It is taking over the old T Pumps location so parking is limited unless it's the weekend and the other businesses are closed/open later. Inside is simple with a simple sand tone vibe with the tan/orange. There is about 20ish seats with a couple of tables. Staff is friendly. Waited ~10-15 minutes for the drinks, but it was a little busy. Onto the drinks. They have a seasonal chocolate strawberry drink which isn't found elsewhere nearby and I can only speak on that, considering that's all my party tried. This drink is dangerous. It's like an actual chocolate strawberry in a cup, the only this is that it doesn't feel like a coffee drink with 2 shots of espresso. Could I drink multiple of them in a day? Yes, probably. Should I? No, because that would be a lot of coffee. Think about a dark chocolate mocha but with strawberry inclusions and puree. The darkness is sweet with the strawberry, but it's not an overpowering sweet from a normal latte drink because it's dark chocolate. Honestly, there isn't a strong coffee flavor due to that but I have no complaints because the drink was very enjoyable, like a dessert, but in the morning. Another comparison of a dangerous drink would be like the banana latte from Acadamic Coffee, it's so good that half the drink is gone in a minute. Overall, go checkout the seasonal drink while it's there because it's worth it. That is if you're a chocolate strawberry lover!

    I didn't notice until recently, that Dr Ink from San Jose is open in Cupertino! Tried their earl grey latte (seasonal menu) and it doesn't disappoint. The hint of earl grey and bitterness of coffee surprisingly blend well together. Their location in Cupertino was far cozier than SJ location. Plenty of parkings! The service was quick on a Friday noon. Do not miss your favorite coffee spot! Run and try itttt

    Matcha latte and chocolate strawberry coffee.
    Ria B.

    Definitely more of a coffee place than a matcha place. The matcha though was rich and a deep earthy flavor so they are using good quality stuff. The coffee was pretty sweet but not too overpowering given it was chocolate strawberry. The flavor was on point and could taste all of it. There is seating inside for probably 30 folks or less. The drinks came out in a timely manner but. Over all great time.

    New coffee shop in Cupertino. They also have one location in San jose. It is nice good size coffee shop. Interesting the shop have very limited parking on the back. We ended up parked at next building. It has good amount of seating area. There are plenty coffee tea options with some seasonal latte menu. The pastries option is limited. We ordered dark chocolate, osmanthus latte, pistachio latte, and yuzu matcha. The worker who took our order was nice. Our order was ready pretty quickly. We also ordered almond croissant and chocolate Frangi twist. The coffee and pastries are good. I like the osmanthus latte and pistachio latte as they are unique and refreshing. Priewise they are reasonable.

    Dr Ink has some solid drinks - including one of the best earl gray lattes I have had! They do a double shot espresso and you can easily taste both the coffee and the fragrant earl gray. Make sure to also check out their seasonal specials - I quite liked their Chocolate Strawberry drink as well (also double espresso). There's a good amount of tables inside but it does get loud so bring your favorite pair of noise canceling headphones.

    Left pistachio right black sesame latte
    Stacy W.

    Service was perfect and drinks came out fast but tasted amazing! We got the black sesame latte and pistachio latte? FYI, Black sesame latte can only be iced (I was told hot is not available). But I think it's still worth it. Not too sweet and not burnt at all, I was a bit worried about how the bitterness of two shots would taste but it was a good blend. Not overpowering at all! Pistachio latte was great as well! Strong nutty flavor and not too sweet. Coffee flavoring was balanced well as well

    The interior is very pretty and there is a good amount of seating. Their menu is also very unique, so I'm excited to try more drinks. I always go for a matcha latte. It comes unsweetened but you can add sweetener like honey or syrup. Honestly, no critiques. The matcha color is perfect, just like the floral taste. I hope they can add some additional matcha drinks to the menu. I also tried a little of the early grey latte. I can definitely tell that they use quality beans for their espresso. I thought the drink had a perfect balance of sweet and coffee. Typically I find most cafes butcher the earl grey syrup so I'm thrilled to find a new place. If you want to check out a new cafe, I recommend giving Dr. Ink a try!

    Love this new location of Dr.Ink. The interior is cozy with limited tables, but modern and clean. Wifi is also pretty fast, good for a WFH spot. The drinks are all really unique and on the pricier side, I ordered the black sesame iced latte and it was o k (will probably order something else next time), and the seasonal pistacio latte which was pretty delicious. Drinks came out fast, would visit again if I'm craving more specialty lattes!

    Black Sesame Latte
    Danica R.

    I haven't been to the San Jose location, so this is my first time trying this cafe out. First impression: the ambience was relaxing, nice natural lighting, and very minimal inside. It's a nice place to catch up with friends, do some studying, etc. There's not that many tables inside, but there are some tables outside. One thing to note is that parking can be VERY difficult since the location is shared with other establishments and across are townhomes. I ordered the black sesame latte and a chocolate croissant (not pictured). The croissant was very flaky! It's definitely best right after they warm it up for you. The drink was pretty good. It has a good amount of black sesame flavor, but I forgot to take a straw because most of the black sesame is gathered at the bottom, so I couldn't get a FULL taste. Other than that, I like it! Staff were very friendly! I would come back again and try their seasonal items next time :)

    Esther M.

    Drink is okay.. service was great and so was the location. Lots of people were in there studying/doing work. It was kept super clean but parking is a little further away you have to park side or back of building because it's facing the street. Pastries were good too, I don't think I would come back.

I've only ordered their espresso drinks; they know how to properly steam and pour the milk for espresso art, and I'm a fan of the lavender latte. Service: You order via a kiosk, so interactions with the servers are a bit limited, but if the queue for either kiosk is long they'll call you over to the register directly to take your order. I haven't had any qualms with their service. Ambiance: It's a bit of a darker vibe with amber-colored wooden tables, dark paint on the walls, concrete flooring, and slightly subdued but ample lighting, but I find it aesthetically pleasing. They also sell some miscellaneous goods (Korean wellness products?) on the side near the register, which I found to be an interesting decision. Other than that, it's a nice place to sit down and work on stuff, and there is plenty of space to do so. Overall: I like Big Mug as a neighborhood coffee shop that offers a good latte, and I'm sure I'll be stopping by again in the future.

There's a kiosk to order now with a majority of items missing pictures and descriptions. Still, the staff seem busier than ever, my lavender latte took about 15 minutes and it was hard to find open seating. I think the quality has gotten a little worse here, my latte was very sweet even with less sugar requested, and they seemed to just dump espresso on top of milk and callel my name in a hurry. They also seem to sell beauty products now, which is a little strange. The whole experience across the board felt unpolished, not sure if I'd come back here next time unless I'm in the area.

    1484 Halford Ave Santa Clara, CA 95051…read more This was my first visit to Baker's Village in Santa Clara. It was a warm day, and I was drawn to this bakery by their fruit smoothies. It was near 5pm. I walked in and the place was empty. The gentleman behind the counter greeted me. I asked for a strawberry smoothie, then walked around to survey all the baked goods. It's a small bakery with lots of trays of individually packaged cakes and pastries. The smell was very pleasant and comforting. Using a flat basket (or tray) I grabbed a few selections. I picked 2 "Heart Pies" that resembled my favorite French Butterfly Cookies. Also 2 pound cakes. The total rang up to just over $21. There's some small tables for enjoying your purchases there, but I took my items to go. The icy cold fruit smoothie was very good and very cold! Not too sweet, it had a natural strawberry taste. The Heart Pies were good and fresh. But the Pound Cakes were probably "day old." I noticed there's no dates or "best by" tags on the packages. It's a nice place to visit, and I will return again. Free parking in plaza lot.

Wisely, I checked Yelp reviews first because some deals can be too good to be true. It's hidden gem off El Camino and near Lawrence Expressway where those that know good Korean baking have this spot on their short list of preferred places. I arrived a few minutes before my scheduled pick up time and Korean grandma behind the counter was super pro, teaching me how to confirm check in and gave me a mixed bag of baked goods with/without fillings. If you like surprises, are omnivore & no special diets or food allergies, Too Good To Go is the way to explore. The items were in generic packaging without labels, so take a pic of the items you like so can order when visit next time. While my family enjoyed all the items, I really enjoyed the black sesame studded puffy rolls that I think were made with rice flour. There was a large group of older Asian ladies, including one who brought their lap dog, enjoying good conversations in their native language with their baked goods and tea or coffee. Another gentleman was taking a video call to help decide the best cake to buy. Will add this bake shop for a place to have a coffee meeting and to favorite in Too Good To Go.

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.
