We chose this large city location thanks to easy parking and a convenient stop on our drive. It was a beautiful morning, which was easy to enjoy thanks to the high ceilings, big glass windows, and open main door. The first floor has a central counter to order food and drinks; the glass cabinet has a bunch of rotating pastries from a local bakery. They have restrooms and a merchandise area here too. At the front are counter seats along the front window, and also a horseshoe that looks into the roasting area, which is a great place to smell the beans. There's an upstairs loft that overlooks the cafe below, also with a test kitchen area and offices across to the front. They definitely have a larger business going on, and I can see why it's so popular. We ordered a latte, iced coffee, and various pastries to start our day. Prices were reasonable for the quality. All the baristas were friendly and fast to help.

I got a vanilla latte with oat milk and it was SO creamy and well balanced. The espresso tasted great, the vanilla wasn't overpowering, and everything worked really well together. I'm actually someone who rarely finishes an entire coffee, but I liked this one so much that I finished the whole thing! My one disappointment was that I specifically came here hoping to get some work done and found out they don't have WiFi. It's a little surprising considering how many tables they have, and the space otherwise seems like it would be great for working. Definitely something to keep in mind if you're bringing your laptop. But purely based on the coffee, I had a great experience and would absolutely get that latte again!

"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 the taste was not too sweet and not too 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.

To ensure the exact blend I wanted was in stock, I scheduled my order the night before so it would be ready for pick up the following morning. The next morning, I made the trek to the Outer Richmond and picked up a bag of the Richmond Blend beans. To my pleasant surprise, each bag of beans comes with a complimentary drip coffee or cold brew. The drip coffee was excellent, and I could taste the fruity flavor notes. The coffee shop itself was small and cozy, so next time when I'm not in a hurry, I'll order a coffee to enjoy there.

We were a group of 5 who had gone here for brunch and got a seat pretty quickly. The jasmine lavender tea latte was a bit underwhelming since it tasted quite watery and could have used more milk. We also tried the Cookie Monster latte both hot and iced - the hot version was definitely better, while the iced one felt a little diluted and lost some of the flavor depth. 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

ON POINT PANCAKES - Chocolate chip pancakes topped with fresh berries, bananas, and whipped cream. Ube Coconut Tart - A nice little treat to end the meal. Cliffside Latte - A specialty latte made with their homemade vanilla and caramel mix. I do wish they offered the option to adjust the sweetness because it was pretty sweet, especially since we had already ordered two sweet food items. Next time, I'd probably try a different coffee that isn't as sweet! Overall, the food was great, and I'm glad I finally got to try it! If you know where Taco Bell Cantina is, this spot is in the same area! You can either hike and stop by this plaza or grab your food to go and enjoy a picnic at the beach. There's also a brewery in the same plaza with great food as well! It's one of my favorite spots in Pacifica when I need a quick getaway!

This timed, I tried the pumpkin spice latte (iced). I came in on a Sunday afternoon so it wasn't busy and my drink was made within a few minutes. I just want to give a shoutout to the staff because they're always so friendly and lively. It really makes for a warm and inviting atmosphere. The drink was delicious! What I liked about this pumpkin spice latte is that I can taste the spices in the drink such as the cinnamon that really warms your taste buds. These drinks in general are also not incredibly sweet so you can identify the flavors and it isn't one-note at all. It's the perfect drink for fall and I'm so glad I was able to try it! I'm looking forward to my next visit!

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. (If you do try the banana matcha, maybe ask for less milk!)
