They do a really good job of keeping things pristinely clean and inviting with greenery all around. The cafe itself is huge with a lot of grab and go options for food like chips/candies/drinks, but they also have an espresso machine and they brew some Starbucks beverages (they use Starbucks beans). What was super interesting was that they had some baked goods that they actually bake in house! I got the banana walnut loaf slice and it was really good: good amount of walnuts, not too sweet, not too dense. They also had a bunch of other types of loaf slices and they had some specialty croissants like mango/strawberry/cinnamon roll. I asked the barista/lady at the counter and she said they get the croissants from another bakery and then "finish" them in house by adding the filling/frosting. Pretty cool! I also got a cappuccino and it was basically a Starbucks cappuccino. Not terrible, but not amazing. Would have liked to see a more specialty-style of coffee beans being used. What's cool is they did have some specialty drinks on the menu with house-made syrups and that was surprising! I'll try one of those next time. They do also offer lunch items on the menu which seem like they'd be OK, but nothing amazing. But good if you're getting work done and don't have time to leave for lunch and come back. This place is very good for getting some work done, very comfy chairs/bench seating and large tables. It's wasn't too busy when I went to it was easy to find a table. WiFi was fine, could have been a bit faster. There are nice restrooms within the cafe building. A lot of times these kinds of places are hard to navigate to, but this one wasn't too bad. Google Maps takes you to the right place, you merge right into the complex from the roundabout and then there is a parking garage on your right. The parking seems a bit limited, but for a weekday it was easy to find an open visitor parking spot which they marked as being a 2 hour parking limit. I'd come back here if I hardcore wanted to get some stuff done. Other than that it's kind of a boring/isolated area since there isn't much else you can walk around to and explore.

We've been a couple times on trips to the Bay and the tofu bahn mi always hits with warm crispy baguette, fresh cilantro, and savory tofu. The boba tea I tried on our most recent visit and it was okay as I could barely taste the peach flavor and boba was a little hard texture. I imagine the pho is also very tasty if it's anywhere near as good as the bahn mi and we saw a few customers ordered pho! Plenty of seating inside and a few outdoor tables as well!

I'm a frequent customer here and it saddens me to give 1 star today…read more I ordered a Tuna salad on a Croissant. The person helping asked me if I want all the trimmings and I asked what are the trimmings that come with it? She said, mayo, mustard, tomato, lettuce, onions, and pepperoncini peppers. I said no onions and pepperoncini. The sandwich that I opened the box to when I returned to work was a tuna salad on a croissant with lettuce, banh mi aioli, and banh mi pickled daikon/carrots. I called the business and informed there was a mistake as there are pickled daikon/carrots in my tuna croissant. I was told to bring it back and they'll make it right. Minutes later I received a voicemail stating that the sandwich was made correctly and that pickled daikon was suppose to be in the sandwich. Few issues I have with this...First, the flavor profile is not right. Second, why was I informed of all the trimmings when I ordered and pickled daikon/carrots was not mentioned to me. Third, where was the mustard, cucumber, mayo(they used banh mi aioli which is different than mayo) and tomato? Is this under new management? I used to order the tuna sandwich all the time and it was never made like this. All of the pictures posted of tuna or chicken salad sandwiches on here, do you see any pickled daikon/carrots in them?

Overall: Pretty cute and chill place. Has decent food and drink options. Came here on a Monday…read moreafternoon and it was pretty quiet. Great place to go to work and focus on something while sipping on a drink. Food: I got the banh mi and matcha latte. Their banh mi is kind of hidden as it's not really on the official menu. Banh mi was delicious. Generous filling and everything was fresh from the veggies to the bread which was nice and soft on the inside. Matcha latte was a little bitter but overall pretty smooth and tasty. Atmosphere: This cafe is quite large inside and there's actually a lot of sitting/work areas. There are a few comfy leather couches which I love (as someone who hates sitting on hard seats) A few people were here just working while eating/sipping coffee so it's a solid place to get coffee and work.

The whip cream was light, fluffy, and creamy. Really satisfied my sweet tooth craving. Plenty of items to order off the menu so I foresee us coming back to try more. Love how the menu is written beautifully in chalk. That's some true artistic skill!

I have been visiting Kurated Kitchens for about a year and a half now and love almost everything…read moreabout it. I mean...a food hall in Sunnyvale - what???!!! What's not to love about that?! My very favorite thing is the Hat Yai Chicken. It's so delicious and always perfectly crispy! And it travels pretty well too. I once drove it through weekday afternoon traffic to a dinner picnic in SF, and it was still delicious and surprisingly crispy. That day, that chicken was the "belle of the ball," "the star of the show"! It's not a quick and easy process to make this chicken yet they never fail. I also love love love their smash burger! Sans jalapenos for me. They do a fantastic job on this too. It's so delicious, with the nice crispy edges - the way a smash burger is intended to be. I crave it! My 3rd fav...I absolutely adore their breakfast sandwiches! Just pick one, any one, they're all just as delicious as the Hat Yai Chicken and the Smash Burger. While those are my favorites, I've definitely had some of the other dishes and I must say that I've never had a bad meal at Kurated Kitchens. You can't go wrong in this place, even the 808 Drip coffees & teas are special. It's clear that they carefully choose their ingredients because the food always tastes so clean and fresh, which, I'm sure, is why I feel good about eating here. Of course the service is always kind, friendly and on point and the dining area is always clean. My only disappointment is that they're only open until 3:00 PM! By the time I'm thinking about dinner it's usually too late to order from here because they're already closed. Hopefully more and more people discover this gem and flood them with so much business that they have to stay open longer. In the meantime, I'll take what I can get.

It is nice and quick as we expected as we only had 45 minutes and we were able to get back to work on time. I can't wait to try another dish next time. There is a water station that you can help yourself. There is also napkins and utensils next to it that you serve yourself. Lastly, once you are done eating, you put away the tray and trash yourself.

Food Good…read more Coffee OK Service Poor for this reason. We had point cards from making purchases. When we came to redeem them, they said we can't because of Covid. WHAT? because of some virus they can't honor coffee points which represents patronage! For this VERY reason, I refuse and tell others to skip this place. Other restaurants and cafes continue to honor their points before and after the virus shutdown. But because they are so stingy and cheap, they had to not care about their loyal customers. There are many people I've talked to who are spreading the word. Now we go to the other cafes on the street. I will change this review as soon as I'm written back by the owners that EVERYONE with point cards can come back and redeem their free coffee, etc. Until now, they are STINGY and not worth going to. They pretended to be friends but got too cheap. Again, once they show proof of honoring the customers who believed in them, then I'll change the review and tell people otherwise. There coffee isn't good.

It was never open because they close fairly early at 2pm so I always intended to come back to try their coffee and pastries. What was odd to me from the start is that the name of the cafe changed to the "Nexus Cafe at Terra Hotel". When I walked up, it appeared that the waitress of the nearby restaurant Adrestia doubled as a service member at the cafe. There was a lady sitting down behind the counter who seemed to be overseeing the cafe but was waiting for the hardworking waitress to come back from Adrestia to take my order and make the coffee. What was especially disappointing was that they were not able to make pour overs because she said that their pour over machine was broken. I assumed she meant their non-espresso grinder because they could still make lattes and Americanos. I opted for an Americano. The flavor of it wasn't memorable in any way. Might as well have been from AM/PM or McDonald's. I also bought a jar of La Fermière passionfruit yogurt and a $15 matcha chocolate as a gift for my partner. With the Americano and the tip, it ended up being close to $50. As I've experienced nearly every time I visit Nokori, I had trouble with the barcode on the parking garage ticket machine. I had someone actually honk their horn at me. I had to press the help button to let me out eventually. I'd still come back for Nokori, but for coffee and pastries, I'd recommend heading up to Craftsman & Wolves in Mountain View instead.
