    I've been buying drinks here many times. I'm addicted to the matcha and peach milk tea. The variety is amazing. You can work here as well. They even have phone booth to take your phone call quiet and private. I recommend this place.

    Artisan coffee and golden venture

    Visited for the first time with my parents, and we loved it! The robot making our drinks was such a cool touch, and the coffee was excellent.

    70$ for 5 taco plates for the hair salon. 2 small tacos + 1/4 cup beans and 1/4 cup rice. No drink

    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.

    Barista robot - yes it does ask for tips

    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!

    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.

    Mango Matcha with smiley face :). This was not made by the robot, as politely announced by the robot

    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.

    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.

    Fish sauce coffee

    Come to this place if you want to have coffee made by a cool looking robot. If youre into trying unique drinks, they have some interesting drink options too such as fish sauce coffee that you wont really find anywhere else. If you are looking for like the best quality coffee youve ever had then yeah this isnt the place for you, its literally a robot making the drinks and i think its silly the other reviews are giving this 1* for the coffee not meeting their exacting standards. For what this place is, its great

    Salted Cream Coffee (half-way thru it lol)

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

    Is this only open to realtors and business owners or can non-business owners go to the shop?

    I believe it's open for public

    Drinks are very delicious and I love the eco-friendly mission. I brought my own re-usable cup and…read morewas able to get a discount. I wish more stores in the bay would do this. It makes it super worth the price too. Because I felt I was getting a higher quality drink for the same place as elsewhere (about 8$ with taxes) For location, it's inside of a bigger store, so don't get confused. Also if you're in a rush, they make the drinks per order and the matcha takes a while. You'll generally have to wait 10-15 minutes, so not great for a quick lunch stop during your break or something like that (that's when I initially went ). But I would definitely return when I have the time.

    Very solid spot for some afternoon tea!…read more I tried the strawberry matcha latte. The matcha was high quality, and very good on its own. However, once mixed in with the strawberry puree and oat milk, the strawberry puree did mask the matcha flavor. However, it was still a good and yummy drink! The strawberry puree tasted unique too, but I don't know how to put the taste into words so you're just gonna have to try it for yourself :)) We also tried the genmaicha tea, and it tasted like faan ziu to me, but I love faan ziu so I liked it! It was very refreshing for the hot summer day it was. Heads up that they only have almond oat and soy milk! A very solid spot to get some work done too. There isn't much foot traffic, so it's pretty calm and quiet. They have tables and wifi! Workers were sooo sweet and kind too!

The food is prepared fresh, it's packed with flavor without the heavy greasy feeling of eating out. The service is friendly and great but definitely feels better if you can speak mandarin (in my experience). The vibe of the cafe side is nice and calm, with cute decor and even some labubu! The food is reasonably priced and they even have some ready made healthy desserts and other foods for take out. I have been a regular here for years. Stop in and enjoy!

Their service was kind, but their system to keep track of orders and tables seemed a bit hectic. Seems like they write down orders on paper to send to the kitchen there was a steady flow of customers coming in to order or inquire about lunch. Our table's order got mixed up with another so it took awhile for my friends to get their order while mine came out fairly quickly... I think I also took someone else's order but we had the same dish. I recommend labeling the table numbers so they can keep better track. I got the braised tofu and omg I love it all, great flavor in all the parts of the dish! Came with a variety of veggies and pickled cucumber. The tofu was a so flavorful and for being a vegetarian spot, I couldn't tell there wasn't any meat!! Definitely will be coming back :)

    First time coming to this Philz Coffee. Shocker, since I typically frequent this area quite a bit…read more Our party of 3 arrived for a much needed mid day pick me up and a nice place for some kinder homework to get done. What could be a better spot?? Ordered: *Salted Butterscotch [hot] *Gingersnap Coffee [iced] [[both creamy & both sweet]] The drinks took a bit of time but that's to be expected. The baristas take their time when crafting your beverage. Both drinks were really good but I found the gingersnap to be extra sweet. So sweet that I ended up with the salted butterscotch- go figure!! 5/5 stars. My toddler really enjoyed her trip and her homework sesh here made her feel like such a big girl! We will absolutely make a return visit.

    Location of this Philz is great, service is amazing too and inside is very clean. But, I've tried…read morethis location enough times to feel confident to say that every time I order my go-to (and I literally only order this one) it literally tastes different each time. I only order a creamy cream + sweet Estatic, and each time, the flavor fluctuates (depending on all the baristas I guess). One day it'll taste super yummy, spot-on to when I order at their downtown or Sunnyvale location. The next day I order, it'll have literally no sugar or hardly any cream. Very odd that they don't have a consistent formula down for this one drink. Also, if I get a large, it'll feel watery, too. SUCH a hit or miss and very disappointing to be so inconsistent!!! Literally never know what type of drink I'm getting.
