The shop is clean and stylish, and the drinks come in reusable glasses and mugs, rather than defaulting to plastic cups. There is not a dedicated parking lot (it is stationed beside an apartment complex), but there is some street parking available in easy walking distance. The servers are friendly and quick, and there is a wide but not overwhelming variety of drink (mostly coffee/espresso and some matcha) and food (cake slices, waffles, and dessert toasts) options available. You can also preorder whole cakes from them. The coffee is decent, but I find that $7 is a little steep for a latte that doesn't really stand out. I can sort of justify it by thinking that I'm also paying for the lovely space to work as well. The desserts are also a bit pricy, at around $10 per piece (and the pieces aren't huge). Overall, I had a pleasant experience here and would absolutely recommend it if you're looking for a place to sit down for a while to read, study, or relax, despite the somewhat pricy menu.

Along First St with condos on upper floors. Probably convenient for people living nearby but for us…read moreit was a quick stop while running errands down that way. 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. I wasn't going to order food but then saw what looked like fresh pastries in a container behind the counter so I decided to give it a try. Ordered a butter croissant but ended up getting a spinach and feta croissant. Wasn't worth sending it back so I ate it and it was decent. p Ambiance is okay and has some tables for work or group conversation- chairs looked nice but up close many were dirty with stains. Appreciated the barista's hustle as she was alone and doing her best. $16 for coffee, latte and croissant which seems fairly reasonable

For such a small space, they really knocked it out of the park when it came to the overall vibe and aesthetic. It's the perfect girly café to surprise someone with on a date or simply to catch up with a few girlfriends. We ordered the strawberry matcha and banana matcha, and the drinks are a great bang for your buck considering how large they are--my husband and I honestly could've shared one. The strawberry matcha had a pleasant, jammy fruit flavor that paired nicely with the matcha. I was especially impressed by the banana matcha, which is made with fresh bananas. You could really taste the difference, and thankfully, it didn't have that artificial banana flavor at all. The matcha itself is fairly standard in terms of quality, so I think their flavored drinks are where this place really shines. If you're a matcha purist looking for something more ceremonial or matcha-forward, this probably wouldn't be my first pick. But if you're in the mood for a fun, flavorful matcha drink in an incredibly cute setting, this place absolutely delivers. For what they're going for, it's an easy 5/5 for me. The portions are generous, the flavored matchas are tasty, and the beautiful interior makes the whole experience that much more enjoyable. I'd definitely come back to try more of their specialty drinks!

Saw this place on DoorDash with a discount, so we were excited to finally give it a try. We ordered…read morethe Strawberry Marble and Brûlée Swirl. Even with the discount, I thought the drinks were still a bit on the pricey side. When I arrived to pick up our order, I was pleasantly surprised by the decor. The place is really cute and inviting and definitely has the kind of ambiance that makes you want to sit down, relax, and enjoy your drink there. Unfortunately, I couldn't stay since I had to bring the other drink home to my daughter. I tried my drink and it wasn't bad, but I didn't love it either. I actually really wanted to love it because I liked the atmosphere so much and would have enjoyed coming back to hang out there. When I got home, my daughter tried hers and said it was just okay. She didn't even finish it, which pretty much summed up how we both felt about the drinks. Cute place with a really nice ambiance, but unfortunately the drinks just weren't for us, especially for the price. Probably won't be back.

Pure DoorDash enthusiastic over here and from a takeout POV:…read more Ordered sugarcane with less ice (YAY TO SUGARCANE bc it's such a rare treat), a small pork belly banh mi with extra pate, and a croffle with a matcha dip on the side. First, superrrrr appreciative that they took sizing of banh mi's bc usually I can never finish them. The pork belly with extra pate was sooo good and a great brunch meal. Obviously you can't go wrong with sugarcane and the croffle was super tasty as well. I'd probably get another cream / etc to pair with it as the matcha one was flavorless. Can't wait to come here in person or DD more options from their menu. Overall: 9/10 recommend

The drinks here are decent. I've tried the sugarcane drink, a matcha drink, and a milk tea, and…read morethey're all pretty average. Nothing really stands out, but they get the job done if you're just looking for a quick drink. The biggest downside is the location and overall atmosphere. The shop shares a space with a Chevron gas station, and it doesn't have its own restroom. When I asked, I was told to use the Chevron bathroom, which felt unusual for a tea shop. The café also isn't the most comfortable place to hang out. I stopped by during a heat wave once and decided to stay for a bit, but it was still hot inside. I don't think the A/C was running, so I ended up leaving sooner than I planned. I could see myself grabbing a drink to go if I were already stopping for gas or just happened to be driving by. But personally, I'd rather drive a few minutes down the street to Barber Lane, where there are several other tea shops with better drinks and a more comfortable atmosphere. I can also do my grocery shopping while I'm there, so it's a much more convenient stop overall.

Coffee and Chai is a great spot for studying as there are lots of tables and it's quiet. Our barista today also turned out to be the owner of the cafe. Such a sweet, accommodating man!! We got a masala chai, a cardamom chai, and a matcha latte- all hot cos it's so chilly in San Jose around this time of year. I preferred the masala chai, but both chai lattes were yummy! Spiced so deliciously and definitely helped warm us up. My grandpa got the matcha and was pleased with the taste as it was unsweetened but not bitter at all. Regardless of whether you need a quick pick-me-up, a local study/work spot, or even someplace to catch up, this lovely cafe should be the next place you try out!

This is one of the most wonderful places I have ever visited…read more First, I had no idea what was going on today. I heard Cat Cafe but thought it would be a cafe and there would be some cats in a window. This is fully play time with a group of sweet adorable cats! We had so much fun! The cats are mostly relaxing with a few playing and doing funny cat things. The usual. Leaping around, looking for stuffed fish and trying to surprise each other. I have an idea that instead of going to see a therapist, go see the cats!! We were so tired when we got there. A cup of the most delicious coffee in the world also happens to be prepared at this magical place!! i had a warm cookie butter coffee and it was amazing!!! I got a taste of other flavors and they were unbelievable!! Truly the best coffee I've ever had. We had a long day and the cup of coffee in hand you get to sit in a two story area with the most joyful innocent creatures. They just want to make friends and learn how to make someone happy. This is good for everyone. By the time we left, we were smiling, relaxed and very happy. If you get a chance, please make a reservation for some wonderful cat affection. They don't care how your hair is cut or what shoes you're wearing. They are nice warm animals and to have a lovely cat for some affection is one of life's most wonderful pleasures. I've got a few friends who could really benefit from an hour with a beautiful ball of sweetness. Highly recommend.
