    I tried the Milo Mocha, which was delicious ! The place is a nice cozy spot with quick service and long lines at times. Will come here to try more. The food offerings looked good. But some of the items were sold out when I went (Sunday 11am)

    There's always a line every time I come to this spot. Fortunately the line moves at a good pace. I really enjoy their drink and bake goods offerings. Seemed like there's a rotation on their menu. E.g the corn cream coffee I had last time is no longer on the menu. For such popular/decent size cafe I wish they have more than one bathroom. Definitely enjoy coming here if wasn't for the constant crowd this place has and how busy it is.

    Oh my gosh - this place is phenomenal. Awesome coffee - rich, tasty beverages that pair well either pastry offerings. Ask for a recommendation. You can't go wrong. Spent two hours here enjoying my vanilla bean latte with oat milk (no upcharge for alternative milk) and a pineapple puff pastry. Thank you for a beautiful morning yesterday; looking forward to my next adventure here! No teenagers here which is a huge plus for enjoying a lazy morning over an excellent cup of coffee, nice conversation and comfortable seats. Alternatively, if you're here to work on your laptop for work or school...this might be a good spot :-) This cafe deserves a 10 - it's that good because of its impeccable service, lovely ambiance and awesome food. Think Japanese coffee culture and here is Moonwake Roasters!

    I ordered the Iced marzipan latte Iced Matcha latte the marzipan latte had fun red dried toppings and the latte had good espresso and the marzipan itself wasn't as strong. It blended into a nice drink although I'd like to try their regular iced latte next time. Matcha latte wasn't anything special and it came more watered down than strong. The ambiance however was very fresh and modern. I enjoyed the sit down vibe and how you could work or chill there.

    Pretty place, I liked the inside. And workers were nice too. We got two lattes and two pastries. The lattes were Matcha and Milo Mocha. My fav was the two pastries over the drinks. The turnover was sweet and good. The savory pull apart bread was also yum. Both drinks were on the bitter side though. I think for the price I rather get coffee elsewhere but after adding some sugar, it tasted better. Inside was busy. Private lot in front

    My daughter treated me to coffee and snacks here this morning and it was great! I am normally a "burnt offerings" kind of coffee guy (think, Peet's dark roast) but I have to admit there is merit to being able to taste subtlety in your drink and that is what this place is all about. We had pour overs (speedy), a banana toast with black sesame spread under the bananas, and a Japanese croissant-like pastry called a "shioko-pan". Pastries were great! They have a large selection. We thought both of our choices were excellent. The selection of pour overs changes all the time. It is like wine tasting - they give you a lot of descriptions and there is a pre-purchase decision tasting station that has small paper cups and small pitchers of sample coffee to help you figure out what you want. In addition, they have more normally priced espresso drinks, including Americano, that span the gamut of froth, milk, no-milk, etc. Real barista stuff, including artwork. I am lactose intolerant, so we went with the pour overs The pour over selections were complex in flavor. They are more lightly roasted and carefully brewed than I am used to. Lots of fruity notes and other things happening. I would write more about my selection, but since they turn them over all the time, you will just need to evaluate what is happening that day. They have complete information on sourcing, tasting notes, etc. All really top shelf as an experience. In fact, if you are out just looking for a caffeine and bounce, this is not the place for that. It's really a nice place to just chat and sip. They have some noise treatments on the walls and ceiling to keep it from being crazy noisy. It's not the library, but you can carry on a conversation, which is a nice change. So, our outing probably cost as much as lunch somewhere but it was really fun. The barista who did the pour over was super precise and answered by questions about what he was doing. You should see the ritual - it's all got purpose. There is careful temperature control, modulated sprinkling of the hot water over the grounds, etc. It felt sort of of "Japanese teahouse" in a way. Anyways, great experience, great food, nice coffee!

    Already one of my two favorite slow bar experiences in the Bay Area! Staff was amazing and their whole shop is a tribute to speciality coffee. They have a wall of drippers and even roast their own beans. I tried their Sidra and Batian coffees. I would say they're light roast and fruity/balanced coffees. They also let people try their whole selection before choosing one to drink which I thought was genius. Matt, Mabel, Sam and Joel were rockstars. Will come back soon

    Mushroom tart with lattes
    Lloyd T.

    This is one review I've been hesitant to write for a very selfish reason. I've finally gotten over my greedy desire to gatekeep this place. Everyone already knows Moonwake is a great coffee shop, the lines in the morning, especially on the weekends, are clear evidence of this. Even some regulars affectionally call it "Moon Wait" because of the queues. But this place and, more importantly, the people who work here, deserved to be recognized. Moonwake is a bright spot for some great dark coffee! There, I said it. The place is welcoming and has a great vibe. Sometimes you just know when a place feels right. Whether it's the plants all over the shop, the friendly staff dedicated to their craft, the comfortable interior, the amazing pastries (I highly recommend the shoi pan, or salt roll, and the mushroom tart), the bright airy atmosphere, the attentive and inviting pour-over bar, or the great playlists, this place is something special. Additionally, Moonwake welcomes everyone, especially our four-legged kids who are almost always greeted by the staff and our pups somehow find other dog lovers amongst the Moonwake community to greet or share kisses. Go here, share with friends, and save me a seat, better yet, save me a spot in line and say hi to our pups!

    What a beautiful cafe in an unassuming strip mall, behind a fabric shop. The cafe is bright and airy with live plants everywhere and a beautiful tree taking center stage. The view of the roastery and collection of tea cups adds to the ambience. At my first visit, I asked the staff for recommendations and they did not disappoint. They knew the drinks so well like a coffee sommelier or Q grader. I was impressed by staff, the beautiful drink and the food. I'll definitely be back! Tip: Be aware of where you park since part of the lot is for other businesses.

    Orange cardamom latte
    Anisha Y.

    Very tasty coffee, a lovely vibe, and great service! The staff was friendly, offered excellent recommendations, and shared helpful details about the tasting notes in the pour-over. We ordered two lattes -- orange cardamom and vanilla. The orange cardamom was my favorite: super unique and absolutely delicious. I'd definitely love to buy beans from here next time -- such great coffee!

    Vicky L.

    Came here due to a friend's recommendation! I tried their orange cardamom latte and it was really good! The flavor combo was unique and something that I personally really vibed with. I will say it was a smidge too sweet for me personally and it's quite pricey too. Not a lot of space and outlets to do any work. Their food looks good but I didn't get to try, if I come back I'll definitely try again.

    gochujang corn cheese focaccia
    Michelle T.

    Moonwake is my favorite cafe in south bay! From the fragrant teas to the ever-evolving menu, every experience i've had here has been a treat. The service is very fast, even if the line is long. The interior is beautifully decorated with coffee and tea-making tools. There is a bar area where people can watch the tea making process happen. Seating can get a little tricky, would definitely recommend going there during off-hours. They serve the typical pastries alongside some unique ones, like a gochujang corn cheese focaccia. I love an opportunity to try something new!

    Beautiful coffee shop & roasters! Dark roast espresso beans are hard to find! Specifically came to taste test the dark roast espresso... it's very good - moderately acidic, complex chocolaty notes. Will be back to try it again in other styles of beverages!

    What time do you stop serving drip coffee?

    We stop making new batches of drip coffee by 12pm, we may still serve drip afterwards but we may stop serving it if the batch has cooled or oxidized too much.

    Are there a lot of outlets at this cafe?

    There are a decent number of outlets, especially at the tables along the back wall!

I won't forget how there were tasty options around every corner in Tokyo. Ever since I went to Japan last year, I crave delicious yakitori from a charcoal grill in the Bay Area and always seek out new places to try. I finally tried Okibiyaki-Kikuchi as a yakitori pop-up at ShaKa brewing after eyeing it for a long time. The grilled meat skewers were so delicious and enjoyable to eat with a cold beer flight from ShaKa brewing. The chef is a master of yakitori. I tried hatsu, kalbi, shishito, kimo, and bara tama. I can describe a perfect night like this. A perfect night included skewers from the live ember grill by the master chef and a beer flight. The flavors are legit-- the process of preparing the meat is impressive, and the technique with the charcoal grill brings out the best flavors. The Bay Area is treated to authentic flavors like in Japan. It is recommended that should arrive to the pop-up early as they ran out of the chicken skewers. I will absolutely order the chicken skin and thigh again and again. I also tried his pop up at Clandestine Brewery as well. The quality is so consistent and delicious. I like the vibe of eating like in a picnic style outdoors with a cold glass of beer. Nothing beats that for me. Follow @okibiyaki_kikuchi on IG to see where he pops up next.

The chicken curry noodle soup had a really good flavor and it was very comforting and you can definitely taste the love in the soup. The cookie reminds me of like a Vietnamese version of a granola bar and it was simple yet pleasant. I also like the pate chaud but I wished it was a little bit more warmer and crispy but overall I cannot wait to come back and try their other dishes. Lots of seating available around the park near the food truck as well.

We ordered the banh mi, the curry noodle soup, the socola cookie and a vietnamese coffee to go. The coffee hit the spot for me, the perfect strength and sweetness. I feel like it's harder to find this good of balance these days. As I'm not a big fan of fudge type cookies, I didn't like the socola so much, but my partner did. The curry noodle soup was tasty, reminded me of a Cambodian or Burmese style coconut curry soup, and the chicken was very tender. The banh mi for me, while I understood what they were going for, did not hit for me as much. There was shredded chicken mixed with pickled peppers and I believe shallots. The bread was nice and toasty and crunchy, but the filling felt a little dry. Overall, the dishes were on the pricier side, but you could tell the ingredients were fresh and also how much love and care went into the dishes. On top of that, I appreciated that most of the containers they used were compostable. The owners were really nice and extremely friendly, and besides the road side seating, there were also a few concrete benches nearby as well. With the cool weather, it would have been a perfect day to eat outside and enjoy some sunshine.

I was approached by a very friendly employee who asked if I needed any help. While I saw items I was interested in knowing more about, I was on a time limit and knew I wouldn't have time to even try anything on. I really wanted to do a quick walk around of the store to see what merchandise they had and to take a mental note. They had a live embroiderer near the dressing rooms who was embroidering things for clients. They also had little mini chocolate croissants with cute branded Sezane napkins near the shoe area. I think I was approached by two employees who were nice and personable. While I did not get greeted by others when I was in their area of the store. This is just a pop-up shop still -- its not a permanent location. There is one in SF apparently. I've been to the one in NYC and the pop-up shop in LA in the past. Sezane is on the higher price point, but I do still love the brand and would love to see more boutiques to visit for an in person shopping experience.

I know this is the Bay Area, but I'm not about to drop $100+ per piece at a DTC brand without seeing it in person first. (My mom dressed me in clearance JCPenney and hand-me-downs as a kid.) I've been inside this specific store twice and the one in SF once. The day I made my purchase was a weekend, whereas my other two visits were on weekdays. On weekdays, the store is pretty much empty. I think for shopping in store at Sezane, that is the preference. My biggest peeve with both the SF and SJ stores (and I assume this is a feature of all their stores) is the cubby wall. They could have put multiple racks in that space, but instead they have a massive wall of cubbies with a different style in each cubby. They're all folded, and I was told you need to point out an item and have the employee take it out to show it to you. The same employee then has to find your size and refold and put back what was taken out. This is literally the dumbest thing I've ever seen in a clothing store. What if I want to see every single piece? How do I even know what the fabric feels like, or if it's sleeveless, or if it's a sweater? You don't, unless you've memorized the Sezane online catalog and know exactly what you're looking for. I could just feel the employee's annoyance every time I asked to see a new style. I would have LOVED to browse more, but the store was very busy, and I didn't want to be a burden. On the weekend day I finally bought something, there was one cashier and there was a line rapidly building behind me as there was a customer who had some sort of involved issue. There was no backup cashier called (not sure they have that capability), and we all just had to wait. I also really wanted to see some dresses in person, but they barely had any - maybe 3 or 4 styles whereas they have a lot online! The clothes are beautiful and maybe if you are shopping 1:1 with an employee on a less busy day, it could even be fun!
