    Plain Croissants, Almond Croissants, scones, etc.
    Lloyd C.

    Lookout Coffee is a very popular and crowded coffee house. I stopped in on a Thursday afternoon around 2pm and the place was packed. Plenty of seating inside. Natural lighting in this cafe. They also sell other merchandise. One unisex restroom. The service was welcoming and thoughtful. I picked up a TGTG Surprise Bag which contained three pastries (a plain croissant, fruit pastry, and a sugar twist pastry). Support your local business.

    Tried the iced hibiscus tea at Lookout Coffee and really enjoyed it. It was refreshing, light, and had a nice tart flavor without being too sweet. The bright color made it feel extra fun and perfect for a warm day. The cafe itself has a clean, cozy vibe that makes it a nice spot to pause and relax for a bit. A good local stop if you want something refreshing beyond the usual coffee order. Would come back to try more drinks next time.

    Wanted to try something new on a hot day so popped into Lookout. The cashier was super friendly and patient with me as I took a moment to figure out what I wanted. Place gave very cozy vibes. It was a mixed crowd with some people working solo, people on dates, and small families, I ordered the Orange Creamsicle Latte: House-made simple syrup with Orange blossom water. What was interesting is that it was very orange forward, not delicate like orange blossom. It almost tasted like orange peel/rind, but I didn't mind. I really enjoyed the flavors and the coffee - I could actually taste the coffee, not just sweet syrups. The pastries and snacks looked amazing, but I had to pass. Just a side note for the business: I recommend to probably clean the display glass soon. I wanted to take some photos and realized how streaky/dirty the glass was.

    Came here to meet a friend and it was poppin' off! The line was lengthy, but it moved very fast. Rolan took my order and he was so kind. His genuine personality really shined through in the brief moment of our interaction. I ordered an almond croissant and it was so fresh. They warmed it up and it was perfect. Had to get a matcha latte with oat milk and added a little bit of brown sugar syrup. Loved it! They have lots of seating, but no outside patio. Love the live plants inside.

    Vanilla latte and chocolate croissant.

    So I'm considered a "regular" here according to Yelp, which doesn't say much since due to inflation, splurging on a latte is the occasional treat nowadays. With that said, Lookout coffee is well worth the splurge. I have yet to have a bad or mediocre cup of anything. I did have a chocolate croissant that was missing the chocolate, but everything else has been amazing. Today I enjoyed a latte with a fabulous Nutella chocolate chip cookie. It was perfectly dense, filled with Nutella. Despite sitting next to a lady with tons of bags who was mumbling & chanting loudly, nothing hampered this experience ;)

    We wanted to try a coffee shop that we have never been to today and happily found Lookout coffee. This coffee shop is located in the corner of a street. You can park on the street or there's a small parking lot in the back. We came around noon on a Sunday and it was packed! Vibes were great. There was a lot of open space for people to sit and talk etc... We ended up getting a coconut honey latte and an americano. Both were pretty decent, but not as strong as we typically drink. The pastries looked yummy, but we didn't get to try this time around! I will next time!

    In line on a Saturday morning at 11ish

    This is a cute coffee shop, I went on a Saturday at around 11 and was lucky to get a spot in the parking lot! It is a tight lot but if I can do it, you can too. There was Chippidee cookie pop up today and the place was crowded!!! All the tables filled and a huge long line. Even though the line was long, it moved quickly. The staff was so friendly and welcoming. I just got a cold brew with half n half and it was good quality. I do wish they carried heavy cream, I feel like it's so rare for local coffee shops to carry and I never know why no one ever wants heavy cream except for me?!?!? Def will be back here, there's food options as well that looked delish but I got like 8 cookies so I had to hold back.

    I come here every other Saturday while I drop off my nephew at Standard Strength across the street so it work great while I wait for him. I only have coffee but the coffee is good, service is always with a smile and quick. They get busy pretty fast so I like that I can come in early. It's a little on the loud side on Saturday mornings but that's understandable. I love the yellow sitting, they're comfy

    Beans, tea, merch
    Megan A.

    Love this place! I have been several times and it is always a great experience. The cafe itself is a decent size with amole seating. There is a small lot just behind the building. I will mention that when I have gone on weekends they tend to be fairly busy. Seems to be a popular spot for catching up with friends, studying/working. The aesthetic itself is a clean, modern, hip but comfortable sort of vibe. The baristas are great. Very friendly, skilled, and helpful. In terms of the coffee itself - it is wonderful! Whether you are a diehard looking for that next best pour over or prefer something more sweet/flavored, they have a great selection and usually have seasonal specials on offer. The pastries are very good too.

    Maple biscuit of my dreams! ;)
    Michelle D.

    Loved my experience at this coffee house today. Had the best maple biscuit with frosting. Was so delicious and hit the spot! My husband and I also split a cortado and it had such a yummy flavor that my husband bought a pack of the beans they use for their house espresso. Also, they have a really cute interior. Wish the cute icicle lights had been on, but maybe this will be the sign. ;) ;) I like that it's called "Lookout Coffee" and some of the windows have seating facing out to the street. The one view looking out to Rotton Robbie is not ideal, but I like that you can watch the street and passerby's. We will be back!

    coconut honey latte
    Melrose Y.

    I came on a Saturday morning before the 9/10am rush. It was very relaxed and there's plenty of seating. It's a nice cafe space to come in and bring in a book to read, which is exactly what I did. The employees were friendly, which is nice start to the morning. I got the iced coconut honey latte, but it wasn't that sweet nor tasted like coconut. I wish it was a bit sweeter, but I still liked it. It had a good and strong coffee taste. I'd come again to try another drink and some of their pastries.

    Sonia N.

    This is a lovely spot to get a takeaway beverage or sit and enjoy while working or with others. It does get a bit of a laptop library vibe during the weekdays, but there's usually enough turnover to find a seat at the communal tables or lounge chairs/sofas. The vibe would mean nothing if the drinks weren't good, and the drinks are good. However, the pastries are EXCELLENT. It seems like there's always a nice variety of both sweet and savory, and they're all delicious and taste house made (not bulk purchased from a resale store). The staff are always so kind.

The mini almond pastry was really good and also got a crème brûlée which was really good as well. I would come back again and try their hot teas next time. Delicious treats.

What attracted me was their non-coffee options. I ordered a vanilla steamer. I don't recall what she got. The vanilla steamer was good - pretty hard to mess up vanilla, right? She had no complaints about her coffee. Loved the the outdoor seating. And the inside layout was nice. The tables are to the sides so no one is bumping into you while they order or get their drinks. Price was about $5 a drink and they were small, but I believe that's on par with a typical independent coffee house. Service was nice enough. They didn't seem particularly happy (lots of frowns), but they were polite enough with me. I figure they either just didn't want to be there or were having a bad day. One small drawback is it was very hard to hear them calling out the order and we were at one of the tables close to where the drinks were served.

    Happy March!!…read more Decided to stop by a coffee shop that I've never been to before. Found this coffee shop through Yelp (of course!!) There were a few tables inside. Quite a bit of people as well! I ended up ordering the cold brew and the salmon toast. Price was pretty standard. 5.25 for the cold brew and 13.50 for the toast. Both were very good. Cold brew was 10/10! The toast was delicious 9/10. Everything balances each other out perfectly, just marked one point off since it was a pretty pricey! Overall, I am definitely a fan of this coffee shop. Would I get the coffee again? Absolutely! And food? Maybe will try the pastries!

There was a mix of people studying, working, and chatting with friends; it's a very lively community spot. Despite how chaotic it was, the space was generally clean and the service was great. The cashier made sure to get our names and address us by them. The decor is beautiful, feeling intentionally designed. I thought it was really cool that they have a slow coffee bar area specifically for pour overs (I think) where tech isn't allowed, so people are just supposed to sit and enjoy their coffee. I've never seen that before in a coffee shop. The menu is extensive. Since it was later in the day, the baked goods were half off, which was a nice surprise. I got a blueberry latte and an Asian fusion focaccia bread. Blueberry latte - I liked this! The blueberry flavor was subtle and not overly sweet or artificial tasting. It added a light fruity note to the coffee without overpowering it. Fusion focaccia bread - This was tasty, but I felt the original price was steep ($12). My piece was around 6" x 3". The shiitake mushroom flavor was strong and I loved the addition of scallions and Chinese sausage sprinkled throughout the bread. Overall, this is such a cool addition to coffee culture in the South Bay. It feels like shop from a big city like SF, NYC, or Chicago instead of little ol' SJ. The ambiance and options are solid, and it has a vibe that makes you want to stay awhile. You can be a casual coffee drinker or a coffee snob and it will be a satisfying experience.
