I discovered Kenz a couple of years ago when my son was playing flag football at Leigh, and I was immediately impressed by the Palestinian flag they proudly display, as they absolutely should. I love this place and come back as often as I can. I'm proud to support a Palestinian-owned business, and I recognize that proudly embracing their heritage in today's climate can come with unfair challenges and even hostility. That's all the more reason I'm happy to continue showing my support for Kenz. And while their matcha & coffee is absolutely worth coming back for, my support goes beyond that. My only gripe is the empanadas are gone and those were the best ever, nothing compares to those. read more

Kenz Coffee Bar - pistachio matcha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Gatos, California

Lovely little coffee trailer with an outdoor patio seating area. Pretty busy despite it not being a "real" coffee shop. There's residential street parking nearby so parking wasn't an issue. Kenz has a good amount of coffee/tea options, but overall a simple menu. Didn't see any food options when I came, but perhaps they were just out. Seating is all outdoors, some of it is covered and some of it was not, a mix of patio seating and small tables/counter seating, with artificial turf as ground cover. Since it's all outdoors, pets were welcome! I tried the matcha latte and the maple cardamon latte off the fall specials menu (on recommendation from the barista). I enjoyed both drinks - surprisingly the matcha was less sweet than I expected (not complaining about that), as most places tend to make sure its sweet enough for the clientele. The maple cardamon was a great fall drink (definitely recommend it hot vs iced), but didn't really stand out to me in terms of flavor, it was also on the sweeter side but I expect that for specialty lattes. Price was on par with other coffee places in the bay, not on the cheap side. I'd definitely come back to get the matcha again and try other latte flavors! read more

Ken's Coffee Bar operates out of a super cute, tiny cafe truck setup. They have plenty of seating outside, a really nice outdoor decor, and a pretty unique menu of lattes. The staff was also super polite and welcoming. That said, the drinks were a bit of a mixed bag. I ordered the orange cardamom latte for myself and a pistachio latte for my husband. The orange cardamom latte was honestly pretty underwhelming. Instead of a bright, zesty citrus note, it came across as purely linear and sour. Mix that sourness with whole milk, and it just didn't taste right or appetizing at all, and the cardamom was way too subtle to save it. On the other hand, the pistachio latte was actually really delicious. The only catch? It didn't taste like pistachio at all. It was very vanilla-forward instead. So while it was a great cup of coffee, missing the actual featured flavor was a bit of a letdown. Great vibe, sweet staff, and nice outdoor seating, but the specialty flavors could definitely use some tweaking. read more

I was disappointed with my experience. The café only offered two milk options--whole milk and oat milk--which felt quite limited compared to most coffee shops. I ordered the Cookie Butter Latte, but it lacked the sweetness and flavor I expected. The espresso itself was also surprisingly weak; the double shot had very little coffee taste. When I mentioned it, I was offered an additional shot for an extra $2. While I didn't mind paying for it, the drink still fell short and remained underwhelming. For our Cardamom drink, we added Peach cold foam for an extra $1.25 but there seemed to be no foam when served. The space itself is cute and inviting, but if you're looking for a flavorful, well-crafted coffee or a reliable caffeine fix, this probably isn't the place I'd recommend. read more

Kenz Coffee Bar is such a great find in Los Gatos. We tried their matcha latte, which was smooth and really well balanced, and the pistachio latte, which had a really interesting and unique flavor. The place itself is cute and cozy, with only outdoor seating area that's perfect for relaxing with a coffee. The baristas were super friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. read more

Hands down the best coffee in town!!!! Everything from the service to the coffee itself is top-notch. This cute café right next to the high school is just what LG needed and I adore the Palestinian flag read more

Cute, little hidden gem across from Leland high school! Kenz Coffee Bar is a Coffee Airstream that serves classic and unique espresso drinks around the Los Gatos area. They do not have any dedicated parking and you will need to rely on street parking, but from the times I have been there, it has been pretty fruitful. When walking towards the reserved area, you are greeted with very mystical decor, with hanging fake wisterias, and decorated in floral. The menu has a good amount of items to try from, and they do have seasonal drinks. When I asked the last time, they did mention they stock their pastries from Manresa (if you are a fan, you might want to order a thing or two!) The service is very friendly, and I waited max only 10 minutes for my drink. Despite it being completely outdoor, there is ample seating, and while I might not recommend it for studying or working from home, this is a cute spot to catch up with friends or even read a book outdoors. The last few times I went, I got a lavender latte (and it did not blow my mind nor differed from other places), but despite that, it still fulfilled a need. I also have ordered a seasonal orange cardamom latte (only comes iced), which had subtle floral notes and a mild citrus flavor. It was delicious. I wish it came hot, but that is just preference. A great local spot! I will continue to come back if I am in the area. read more

Ive order a few different lattes from here and all of them have been absolutely delicious. The service is great. The staff is very friendly. The ambiance is cute and welcoming. I love that they are very community oriented. read more

New neighborhood coffee joint. Super cute mini truck serving unique flavors of coffee. Plenty of seating area for everyone with couches, benches etc. Came here to try out a new place and very glad we did because the service was top notch and tons of options. I noticed that the traffic was flowing very smoothly.. many people came and went - some sat down, some did to go but there were always people coming and going. If it's your first time, I would recommend taking it easy, enjoying your drink in one of their loungers :) I got the rose latte and it was delicious. read more

Chic and cute place, perfect for a professional or personal coffee rendezvous. The pistachio latte was flavorful and perfectly balanced. The pastries are from Manresa bread, which is one of my favorite spots. read more

Kenz is my personal favorite coffee shop! Easy to swing by for a quick cup of caffeine, I always get excited for their holiday seasonals. Their syrups are so good !! And Nothing like supporting a small owned business that proudly stands on the right side of history read more

A great spot to grab a caffeinated drink & sit and chat with your friends! Which is exactly what we did in late June ( I know, very late review). The barista was nice and the drink was yummy! I loved that there were different seating options (tables + chairs/bench and couch)! I would definitely come back if I'm ever in the area.

Cute little place with lots of outdoor seating! It's right across from Leigh High School. Wanted to really like this place but the drinks we ordered lacked flavor. We got their Mint Matcha Lemonade - didn't taste much like of its name :( Lavender Latte also needed more oomph - not enough coffee or lavender taste for my personal liking. Service was nice and friendly. read more

Very cute fun coffee bar. The menu is quite expansive for a camper. The coffee was super good too. I stopped by mid day with a friend for some work time. They have street parking and a parking lot available and so much seating. Great for a coffee date, study spot, or remote work. I wish they had more snacks. read more

I visited Kenz Coffee Bar on the MLK holiday after checking YELP, which listed their hours as open until 4 p.m. Since I live nearby and had been wanting to try the place for some time, I took a walk over for my first visit at noon. When I arrived, I noticed a few people enjoying coffee in the outdoor lounge, but the service station itself appeared closed. I assumed they might be on a lunch break, especially since I could hear activity coming from the camper. I walked around and said a simple "hello," hoping to ask whether they would be reopening later. Instead, an employee responded from out of sight, reprimanding me and stating that I was in an employee-only area--even though I had not entered any restricted space. When I asked about their hours, they told me they closed at 1 p.m. It was 12:51 p.m. at the time. What stood out most was the lack of courtesy or basic customer service. There was no friendly acknowledgment, no apology for the early closure, and no invitation to return another time. The interaction felt unnecessarily abrupt and off-putting, and unfortunately it soured my desire to come back. read more

Loved this cozy, quiet outdoor coffee bar. The coffee was great, but they were low on pastries by the time we hit lunch. Definitely coming back earlier next time to catch the full morning spread! read more

I really wanted to support this local coffee bus, especially because it's so close to where I live and would be such a convenient spot for me. Unfortunately, I've come three separate times specifically for matcha, and they've been out every single time. I completely understand occasionally running out of something, but three times in a row is really disappointing. Each time I end up leaving without ordering anything. It's unfortunate because I would love to support a local business so close to home, but at this point I don't think I'll be coming back. read more

Great coffee and great people! Whenever I'm in the South Bay o stop by! It's super cute and the seating is comfy!

Came here on a Saturday morning and wanted to try a new coffee spot. It wasn't too busy for a weekend. They have a cute outdoor set up. I parked in the neighborhood bc I wasn't too sure if the parking lot was theirs or the building next door. I decided to try one of their seasonal drinks which was a hazelnut latte. I could barely taste the hazelnut. Not sure if it's bc the Oatmilk was overpowering the flavor of it. For a small coffee, it came out to be ~$8 not including tip. read more

Such a cute little outdoor coffee shop! It has a great seating area and makes you feel like you're in an outdoor cafe. The staff is always so kind and greets you when you arrive.

Just here to say Justin P is a hater with no spine. This place has always been calm and baristas are super nice. From what Ive seen they like to express themselves and show the community in their cultural background through events. Super inclusive people that care about the community, as a local, Ive had them ask me for input about their mural. Always been comfy vibes here with good coffee. read more

Very cute place. It's inside of a shopping plaza parking lot. I live their decoration. It's pretty quick service. The drink is good.

Super cute! I had the day off so I decided to check out a new coffee spot. This was 5 min from my house so I went there. It was a Wednesday morning so there was plenty of street parking and no lines. It's a cute little set up behind a business with lots of seating. I ordered an iced sweet honey latte, which was delicious (I actually wish there was a larger size!) and a spinach artichoke escargot, which was also very tasty and a little spicy. I would definitely come back and maybe even hang out on a warmer day (it was raining). read more

Nice little neighborhood coffee shop! All outdoor seating but a few covered areas to escape the rain. I got the lavender latte and my husband got a cortado.Make sure to specify you are drinking it there otherwise it'll be served to-go. I loved my latte however my husband's cortado was NOT a cortado,was served like a flat white/cap with 8 oz milk.He said all he tasted was milk We are picky with coffee...my husband owns a coffee roaster so he roasts his own beans (and we have all the commercial espresso gear- burr grinder HX machine etc) I would come back but not sure about my husband lol! read more

The vibes are impeccable. I usually come in to work remotely for a few hours and they have a bench that is always shaded even when it's hot out. The drinks - current favorite is the lavender latte with earl grey cold foam. I also LOVE their pastries, and I've tried them all I think. They get pastries from Manresa I think? The cookies, spinach one, and croissants are delicious. Their wifi is very reliable and I regularly take meetings there because it's usually quiet (it's outdoors so sound doesn't echo around). read more

A sweet, unique cafe run out of a shiny trailer next to a nonprofit recreational center for kids, with the most delicious flavored lattes, like rose, saffron, and pistachio, and solid coffee, that also unapologetically stands for freedom for Palestine... could not be happier to find and support this gem in an otherwise everyday suburban South Bay neighborhood. Kenz roasts their own beans, they are top-notch, and we've easily rotated them into our morning home coffee-making routine. On days where I have a little more space in my schedule, I love choosing Kenz as a spot to chill with loved ones on the cute little patio alongside the rec center building next door. This winter, they put up a clear dome tent as an option to stay warm from the weather as you sip your drinks. During the summer, the open-air seating is calm and refreshing. They are very community-oriented, partnering with other small businesses recently to put on a little market fair that I'm sad to have missed. So glad that this cafe is around. Thank you Kenz for being here! read more

Kenz Coffee Bar - Iced rose lattes on a sunny day on Kenz Coffee's patio - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Gatos, California

I am head over heels in love with this little spot right now. The saddest part is that I don't live near it!! This is going to be a staple every time we're in the area in the future. The service was great. The staff was very knowledgeable, and the entire atmosphere of this little corner was just so pleasant. I did not want to leave. We ordered the lavender latte, and the sweet honey, and both were absolutely delicious. The lavender was very true to its flavor, I have zero complaints! The sweet honey latte was just a perfect balance of sweet and espresso. We also ordered a plain shot of espresso on the side because I'm a fanatic and I like to taste the flavor of the beans. I wanted to purchase a bag of their whole beans but alas they were out of the dark roast. I'll have to come back in search of a bag at another time. We had the banana nut loaf as well and it was very fluffy and paired well with the espresso shot. Now. The empanada. Dear baby Jesus. It was so flavorful and literally one of the best empanadas that I've ever had. It's also halal!! It was a litto cold in the middle so I would ask the staff to cook it a little longer when ordering! Other than that it was perfect. I'm just in love with this place. I can't wait to make it back here! read more

Great little spot for coffee in an area that has almost no small biz coffee spots. Wish it had indoor seating as the outdoors in winter weather is brisk. Lots of family's and dogs visit. Only recommendation is more alternative milk choices than just Oat. read more

I was so excited to try this place....Wow really disappointed... got two lattes, one decaf one regular. The decaf tasted burnt! I wanted to ask for them to remake it tbh but my mom was too shy. The regular tasted just like a steamed milk. Do not recommend! read more

This is a really cute neighborhood coffee shop. I went here by myself on a Friday morning the other week since I was in the area. The coffee shop itself is an Airstream and it has a little grassy area with string lights and a decent amount of seating and benches. It'd be a nice place to hang out with a friend for a bit, though I don't think there's a restroom. I ordered an iced rose latte with oat milk and an iced matcha + chicken empanada for my husband to go. I will say that everything took a bit longer than expected given there was only like one other customer there. The rose latte was good, can't complain, though my husband said the matcha + empanada was just ok. The pastries looked good and I'd probably try one next time I'm in the area. read more

Charming coffee establishment in a trailer with great outdoor seating and of course, high-quality artisan coffee! This place comes alive on the weekends and the shiny little coffee truck adds to its overall cozy ambience. Hibiscus drink, and El Salvador pour over are two of my faves here. They do make coffee cake and banana breads which are decent but they are usually sold out. Service is top notch. Highly recommended if you are in the area! read more

This was such a cute little coffee spot to meet up & chat with my friend. We brought some toys for our kids to play with since they have a nice little turf & lounge area, it was great that it's kid-friendly! The pastries & drinks tasted delicious, I had the rose chai latte & my friend had the pistachio latte. Service was great as well! They even had WiFi so some people were working on their laptops, great to know for when I need to get some work done & need WiFi but wanna spend time outdoors Will definitely be coming back here again & recommend checking it out! read more

Kenz Coffee Bar - Exterior - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Gatos, California

Came here with an old high school classmate to catch up, there's plenty of parking in the parking lot adjacent to the coffee bar & on the residential street. The interior (exterior?) decoration is really cozy and well decorated, it offers up the chance to soak up the sun while sipping on one of their coffees. However, the views are less than stunning considering it is next to a suburban jungle. My drink was also veering dangerously close to being $8. The menu does not offer prices on the drinks or oat milk substitutions, so I can only assume they charge for switching to milk that doesn't make my digestive system rearrange itself. I ordered the iced rose chai latte with oat milk, there were rose petals on top and some form of rose syrup infused in the beverage! It was good, but a little too sweet for my liking. Maybe next time I'd prefer the vanilla latte or their pistachio latte. We sat until the employees were closing up shop and covering the seats with tarp (around 1:30 PM). read more
