I went here with my friend during one of the cupsleeve event of the kpop store next door (Kloud kpop). I personally got their Ice Mocha on that day and I was disappointed. The mocha drink that I usually get tasted mocha with caffeine but the one they had is more like a chocolate milk. I told my friend that it taste like Milo Drink and she agreed after tasting it. The service is unique as a robot will make your drink. But that also has cons as you can't make adjustments to your drink. There was a lady who helped though when the robot overspill my drink. I enjoy how cozy the inside and that it's a space for startups / small business read more

NCM Cafe - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Jose, California

Hidden gem for a coffee shop and work space for people! We came on an early Sunday and it is hidden in a small plaza. They have a robot machine that can make your coffee, but what really stood out was the amount of different spaces you can work in. They had a lot of booths and cubby holes to sit and plug in and drink your coffee. Also games to play in here as well are offered! read more

Grand Opening celebration for NCM Cafe. Modern, elegant decor. Coffee, Match, Tea Drinks made by a robotics barista. They offered a simple menu with a several drinks - a decent amount. The one drink that caught my eye which was their innovative concoction of "Fish Sauce Coffee". So tempted to get it, I decided on the safer choice for my wife, so I got the "Closing Deal" which is Lychee Tea. One kiosk to order from but seemed like the robot could not keep up with the orderd even though, they said it takes 1-2 minutes to make. TBH, I think our drink was mistakeningly taken by somebody else. ~60 mins and still no drink. Definitely, a no toppings drink place ~$7/drink. Neat concept, but if you don't pickup your drink, it will "clog up" the robot as there is only one spot to put the drink. Thank you for your Grand Opening! They did offer a free plate and Agua Fresca with a ticket after buying a drink. read more

NCM Cafe - Artisan coffee and golden venture - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Jose, California

Grand opening. They have a real estate business where you can buy a fully furnished house built with custom furniture where the furniture is made in vietnam. Robot coffee cafe. The robot dances. Ask them for a demo. Bought 5 plates from the taco truck to give to the hair cutting place down the street. They could smell the cooking meat from the smoke. 70$ for 5 plates with 2 small tacos, beans, rice. Seems high. The taco truck is the same taco business operating out of the mexican market by eastridge. Definitely not going there after being price gouged. Asked them for a reduced price without drink. Amigo came back with 70$. Same plates they were giving away for visitors with a ticket. 100% sure I was price gouged. Is ok they win that one. Coffee brewed from machine; not as good as the commercial expresso machines with high pressure. water doesn't get hot enough compared to the commercial expresso machines. little crema; tastes watery. The cafe sells coffee and memberships to their coffee shop/co working space. Starts at 200$/month and up to 1500.00/mo 18k/year for the founders circle. Prob a good way to get in as investors into some businesses the owner and his friends invests in. Looks like a test concept location for the robot and future scaling plans. read more

Interesting "robot cafe" where a robot is your barista. Coffee was pretty good. It's a nice place to get your work done since there is so much working space, including mini conference rooms. Internet was pretty reliable too. It can be a little distracting since the robot barista will occasionally announce what they are doing ("I am now refilling the ice") but I was able to tune it out eventually. The interior was clean and decorative; it emulated more of a furniture store viewing than a coffee shop? All in all, a pretty okay coffee shop if you want to get work done. read more

Super inconsistent hours. I've walked in multiple times when the cafe was listed as open, only to be told they were closed. This used to be my favorite cafe, but the scheduling issues have gotten frustrating. Unfortunately, this will probably be my last visit. read more

Interesting concept, this cafe will make you feel like you walk into an office room that has an automatic coffee machine and you pay to drink from it. I came when they newly open and there were barely anyone except two people, who I assumed to be the owners. The ambience was off and not inviting since they're technically a showroom for a furniture store so I wasn't sure if I'm allowed to sit anywhere at all? The employee there was nice and helpful with the process, that's a plus for them. And on to the drink, I tried the fish sauce coffee. I don't know what I expected, but definitely not that. You will smell and taste the fish sauce, even though it wasn't as good as I expected, but it did come across as a fish sauce coffee. But what I didn't like about the drink was the coffee was too sweet and missing the coffee taste. It felt like I was drinking milk with fish sauce. Hope they improve their cafe in the future! read more

Came here for a cupsleeve event! Cupsleeve event was really cute, I loved the decorations. However the cafe itself was interesting... there's a robot making basic drinks, but staff members making the more complicated drinks. Cafe layout looks like an office with conference tables. My drink was too sweet, I got the mango matcha. The syrup overpowered the matcha so I couldn't taste it. read more

I've been to this cafe many times and absolutely love it. It's a great place to study or get my work done, and every one of the five drinks I've tried has been delicious and well-suited to my taste. The prices are very reasonable, there's plenty of seating, and the staff is always kind and helpful--they even bring your drink to you if it's human-made. I have no complaints and really love the cafe's concept, especially since it's so Silicon-Valley coded. My only small wish is that they hopefully offer regular boba as an add-on in the future, but it's not a huge deal. read more

I got the Cote mango matcha and my boyfriend got the fish sauce coffee. We enjoyed the matcha and my boyfriend enjoyed his coffee (I didn't not lol). The ambiance is interesting and cool, mix of real estate and startup theme - very silicon valley. The robots also cool but nothing special. It was pretty empty when I was there but if there's a line, I could see it being super busy as the robot was slow. The ambiance is cool, somewhat pretentious. The lady there wasn't that friendly, some furniture there was for decorations and seems like there's members only perks that I wished someone talked to me about instead of just saying "members only" without much follow up. read more

NCM Cafe - Mango Matcha with smiley face :). This was not made by the robot, as politely announced by the robot - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Jose, California

the drinks here are not good. or at least compared to the other amazing small business cafes in San Jose. Even compared to the artly robot coffee stands, this place is lacking. Why was is a robot getting coffee from a machine, I couldve done that myself... I know that artly at least pulls its own fresh espresso shots. The matcha coffee drink was not good, tasted mostly like milk and there literally was no coffee or at least visible coffee. Cool space for creators/ innovators but drinks are terrible. read more

I really enjoy the jasmine milk tea and Indigo coffee at NCM Cafe. The space is calm and cozy, perfect for relaxing, studying, or getting some work done. read more

The best cafe for studious, hard working individuals. Perfect environment and space. Very nice staff as well. My go-to study spot from now on. Although drinks mainly focus on coffee, there are still a variety of drinks for those who don't enjoy coffee as much. Their drinks are creative and delicious. read more

For what this place is, its great read more

NCM Cafe - Fish sauce coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Jose, California

I've been here multiple times and they all went great. When you first walk in, the ambience feels relaxing with jazz music playing in the background. You order your drinks at a self-service touch screen, and if you have any questions employees there are to answer them. They had a large assortment of drinks from coffee to matcha, milk tea, or fruit tea. When you order the robot would start making your drink in front of you, which was always fun to watch. I've tried their large assortment of coffee, some matcha, and fruit tea, and they all tasted great. I would def go here again to try all their different kinds of drinks. read more

NCM Cafe - Salted Cream Coffee (half-way thru it lol) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Jose, California

I visited out of curiosity to see how the robotic coffee system worked, not because I support automation replacing human jobs. Unfortunately, this was one of the worst coffee experiences I've had. Paying $7 for a drink is far too expensive when the robot can't even make it correctly. Beyond the poor execution, I also have concerns about how automation like this eliminates jobs that people rely on. I won't be returning and wouldn't recommend it to others. read more

Hidden gem of a find. Beautiful and spacious location for co-working alongside a neat little robot that makes coffee. I wish they had more snack options alongside toppings for the drink, but I'm happy to have fond this place. read more

First customer of the day so not much of a hassle. I ordered a cappuccino which a robot made. A little too milky for me. The space is very interesting. It's a working space. They have areas that you can actually book for meetings in an enclosed space. Came here for some peace and quiet and totally got it! read more

Incredible tech and very friendly service here! Cannot wait for the next locations to drop!

Cool new concept coffee shop with robot barista. Plenty of workspace for hangouts and entrepreneurs needing to get some work done.
