    Really pricey for a small matcha $7.5 and a vanilla glazed donut $4.5. Was not a fan of the price point but the drink was good -- I poured a generous amount of honey in it and the vanilla donut was sweet but good. Overall if I was in the area maybe but there are alot of options for a quick pick me up and pastry around the street. Inside was dimish and okay.

    Espresso service
    Scot W.

    Best coffee I had during a week in San Francisco--a week that included Equator, Ritual, Saint Franks, Andytown, Home, and a few other places. I had a single origin espresso and a pour over. My friend had a macchiato; everything was great but the pour over (a natural processed coffee whose origin I can't remember) was the standout. Coffee came out quickly, even the pour over, and there was plenty of seating. The place has a relaxed industrial vibe with music playing at a volume where it is still possible to have a conversation or do some reading.

    Latte

    10/10 for coffee in the financial district. Very quaint, not a ton of seating but plenty of room. Very pretty interior. Quick service, but carefully crafted lattes. I love a beautiful latte, and this is IT! I tried the oat milk latte and loved it, would definitely recommend trying it instead of the over-hyped options close by!

    Cappuccino

    Consistently good service here. The baristas are always respectful and friendly, even during busy rush hours. The coffee is great, and the latte art is always some of the nicest. The seating area is also comfortable and makes it a good place to sit and enjoy your drink.

    Espresso

    I got an espresso. The single origin today was from Bolivia The shot was very well executed - good layers, smooth creamy texture with distinct flavors coming through. I tasted mild citrus/acidity and sweetness balancing chocolate and fruity notes. 5/5 Would definitely come back for espresso or to try a pour over next time.

    Iced Vanilla Latte
    Namratha P.

    I got an iced vanilla latte and it was good! It was solid coffee and a good taste. I didn't try any of their pastries this time but they had a few options. The cafe itself is nice, airy and light. It looks like a good place to chat and maybe do some work as they have a few tables. Would come back for the coffee again if I'm in the area!

    Stopped in by recommendation from a colleague. The barista are really friendly and very fast. I thoroughly enjoyed my cappuccino.

    I love this little coffee shop. I usually order a Vanilla Latte with Oat milk. I hate that they up charge for the Oat milk. It's almost like you're being punished for being lactose intolerant. I usually pay about $7.50 for my coffee. They have some pretty good looking pastries, but I've never had one to really review.

    Wish I took a better photo, it makes my day

    The coffee is consistently good, and I just got a Swan this morning! Thanks! It really makes my day better! I like this place so much for my daily coffee.

    Great coffee. Very happy with their 8oz americano which is my measure of a good coffee spot - and espresso of course. Nice corner spot with indoor and outdoor seating.

    Affogato
    Adam B.

    In downtown San Francisco, a small coffee drink and doughnut will cost you $10.75. It's all top notch quality for sure, so a nice office breakfast indulgence. Kinda limited menu, but at least what they serve is good. Mocha: Perfectly sweet and creamy, without needing to anything. Loved how it didn't taste like chocolate syrup, but rather had a complex and sophisticated flavor. Not a huge portion like at Starbucks or Dunkin', so savor it slowly. Cold Brew: Pretty intense cold brew. Even with my normal sweetener and half-n-half, it had a lot of personality. Affogato: Ignore the shamers and get an affogato in the morning if you want! It's got the buzzy espresso you need to get the day going, with a refreshing creamy vanilla ice cream. They'll serve it in a ceramic bowl, if you ask, so you can eat it there and avoid judgmental eyes outside watching you have ice cream for breakfast. Chocolate Rose Doughnut: Love a nice chocolate cakey doughnut with a sugar glaze. Allegedly there was rose flavor too, but I barely tasted it. Everything Pull-Apart: Kinda like a croissant meets and everything bagel. Enjoyed the savory buttery dough and all the different flavored spices and seeds.

    Whole milk latte

    Small, cozy cafe right next door to the Philz Coffee on Market & Front. Service was quick on a Thursday morning despite the line out the door. I just ordered a latte ($5.50) & it was filled to the brim, super smooth & not acidic. Will def add this to the list of go-to coffee places near the office.

    Latte - lovely art!

    "Academic Coffee" located in the heart of San Jose's SoFA District (South First Area) has been…read moreoffering some of the tastiest coffee, teas, and handcrafted espresso beverages dating back to the summer of 2017. Located directly at the corner of S. Second St and E. William St, this family owned-and-operated coffeeshop is in the heart of downtown. Parking here during any given day can be quite challenging; especially during the workweek as there are various offices around here as well as being in close proximity to San Jose State University. Business hours are 7am-4pm seven days a week. I came here during the morning of Friday 9/4/2026 at around 10:00am. Fortunately I was able to find a nearby parking spot but as a reminder, meters are everywhere. The exterior of the business showcases their business name complete with several planter boxes, colorful outdoor seating, and umbrellas to shield out the sun. The interior is small and quaint yet there is still ample seating for roughly two dozen customers. It is one of the smaller coffeeshops I have been to and can get quite loud. So if you're focused on studying or conducting a virtual meeting, this may not be the place for you. Since I was saving my appetite for breakfast somewhere else, I ended up ordering a drink. And to those that have been here highly praised their "Pandan Latte". This is Asias answer to a vanilla latte as they use sweetened pandan-infused extract to give it a very unique taste. I chose 2% milk and wanted to go with an iced version as it was a relatively warm summer morning. This place does offer many more unique offerings that include lattes made with banana cream. Piloncillo coffee (widely known as café de olla), and Madagascar flavors. Keep in mind that this place does not accept cash so make sure you have your cards ready to go and of course, they take Apple/Google Pay. I will say that my Pandan Latte was made to absolute perfection as they taste was not too sweet and not to bitter. The service was also above average as this small business had a very festive vibe to it. I also wanted to add that they sell a nice assortment of whole bean coffee, teas, and other various merchandise on their website, https://www.academiccoffee.com/ as well as in their brick-and-mortar stores. Furthermore, they opened a second location on Winchester Blvd/Forest Ave right near Valley Fair Mall in Santa Clara. With excellent service, prime location, and delicious beverages, I am giving "Academic Coffee" in San Jose a perfect five-star rating.

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

The croissants (which seem to rotate daily) were very well made and fresh. The avocado toast was fairly standard in toppings, but the quality of the bread stood out. The condensed Milky Way toast felt very comforting and satisfying. No table service, self serve. Option to order from a kiosk is available

There was a lot of people in there 1/2 an hour before closing too so I'm sure the place is good. I tried something new cause I usually love this drink: banana matcha, (Even though i originally came to try something else) but I was disappointed. Matcha flavor was really light and so was the banana flavor. It was more of a light matcha milk, if you will. I will come back to try what I originally wanted to drink (horchata matcha latte, I believe it was) cause I really think they have good drinks. I've heard great things from friends so maybe I just got a bad drink, off day, or because it was a new drink on the menu, it just hasn't been perfected yet? Not sure but just wasn't what I usually expect from a matcha drink. Other than that, service was great. The cashier was really nice. I was able to find street parking really easily as well.
