    Cappuccino
    Neil M.

    Every place I settle down in, I try a lot of coffee (at least since I've been in my 20s). Among all the places, some become regular joints. And one becomes my go-to. It could be the coffee, or the vibe, or the people that work there, or a combination of any of these. Dr. Ink is quickly becoming one of those spots for me. The coffee is spectacular with a wide variety of options beyond regular espresso (the coconut latte is amazing). I can't not order the everything pull apart bread anytime I see it. It can get crowded on the weekends but service is fast. If you can find a spot, you can sit there for as long as you want, and do whatever you're trying to do. The people who work there are super nice as well. Also, is this a wordplay on Drink, and am I supposed to say Drink or Dr. Ink? Please enlighten me, because I've had a heated debate with someone (I'm team Ink).

    osmanthus latte
    Ashlee L.

    Omg I'm so happy they opened a location in Cupertino so I don't need to drive all the way to downtown SJ! I usually don't drink coffee, but I was very intrigued about the osmanthus latte so I had to give that a try. It was really good! I loved how floral and fragrant the osmanthus flavor made the coffee so the coffee wasn't bitter! I'd definitely get this again :) I wish they created a matcha version too! Interior was clean and minimalistic. They have some tables but not a lot. I want to come back to try other options!

    Dear Dr.Ink, I just tried your Peanut Butter Latte over the weekend... The bold espresso seamlessly blends into the creamy, nutty sweet cream top. Topped with crunchy peanut butter cereal, it tastes like a liquified peanut butter cookie in an elevated way. Love that it's not too sweet and you offer decaf! And it's already gone?! I know it's a seasonal item but PLEAAAASSSSE consider putting it on your regular menu. Because I'm obsessed! I'm not an influencer so I can use annoying hyperbolic phrases like that. O T H E R I N F O * Second location in the South Bay that took over Lilikoi. * Dr.Ink's specialties: Craft coffee w/ cream tops, matcha, and tea. No boba. -- Decaf available. Soy or oat milk available for 50 cents upcharge. * Online ordering available. Our drinks were ready right on-time. * Friendly and upbeat staff. * Pastries from The Midwife and the Baker (Mountain View) and they hold pop-ups from local microbakeries. * There's 5-6 tables inside. * Restroom available. * Parking is so much easier here than their San Jo location.

    Rose latte (seasonal) and matcha yuzu

    First I gotta say that Dr Ink is such a genius name for a cafe!! I wish we lived closer because this is such a cozy little cafe with solid drinks. They have a great selection of seasonal drinks and had a good selection in their regular menu. We ordered the rose latte (seasonal) and the matcha yuzu. They both were well balanced. I was able to taste their respective flavors without it overpowering the underlying espresso and matcha.

    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.

    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.

    Seasonal Menu (2/14/2026)
    Ethan A.

    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

    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!

    Matcha Latte
    Kim P.

    I tried Dr. Ink and although they had a very limited matcha menu, the matcha I tried was good! The matcha flavor was strong and it was not too sweet, I like how they keep their menu simple however each drink lives up to its price and quality. I will come back!

You won't accidentally stumble upon it unless you make an effort to seek it out. Despite this, it seems to be well known by locals and the seating area gets full at times. There is plenty of seating inside, and some outside. Outlets can be found it some tables. It's a good place to work with your laptop. It's mostly tables for 2. There's a larger communal table, and some counter seating. Parking can be difficult. There's a small area in the parking garage for "guest" parking. It's almost always full and you will depend on luck to find one spot there or arrive in time when someone is leaving their spot. There is no parking on most of the surrounding streets, except for the small section of the road that curves underneath Lawrence. And that part is often full of parked cars. It can be frustrating and this parking situation will easily drive away customers to find somewhere else with easier parking. If you're fortunate enough to get parking, you will find that Coffeebar offers a decent coffee menu, baked goods, and some food if you need more than a snack. The people working behind the counter have all been very friendly and helpful. Their Chocolate Croissant is HUGE!!! They'll ask if you want it warmed up. Definitely do this. It is delicious slightly warmed up. I have tried their Iced Chai Latte, which was just OK. It lacked the spice I was expected from a chai, and felt a bit too milky. I prefer their Iced Caramel Latte, which is much better than the Chai. Next time I will try their Mocha.

One can tell right away that they know their coffee and roast their own beans in-house. It gives the whole experience a refined, gourmet feel. The Nola style vanilla iced coffee was fantastic. The medium roast beans had rich, chocolate-forward notes, and the vanilla was subtle rather than overly sweet, balancing the coffee.

    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.

Pastries and breads are often not uniform in size. Pastries that come out smaller or torn, damaged still get selected to be sold to customers instead of seen as a quality defect and pulled. In comparison to premium bakeries in SF, Palo Alto, or even Los Gatos, this was disappointing. I would think it would be better to pull the one or two pastries in that tray. Heck, even Paris Baguette would pull whole trays if it didn't fit their quality standard. (But I don't know if that's still true haha.) Given its premium pricing of $8-15 a pastry, I would expect all the qualities that would justify it. They are a step above bakeries who have frozen products, but do not hit the level of premium in quality of pastry. The prices they had in the beginning were fair, but with the recent increase along with those issues, I'm sad to rate it lower.
