    Outdoor seating along Old County Road

    Cute shop, lovely staff, and ecstatic to enjoy their Peaberry coffee!! I love getting a fresh brew or buying their beans. They also have various pastries and treats. Street parking is readily available. We are loyal customers!

    Caffeine buzz lasted all day until bed! So if you need a boost this is it. Impressed! Park and to go coffee and Argentinian Empanadas are yum! Owner /family runned! I have attended educational coffee tastings and i love the medium roasts here smooth warm low acid easy roast without the bitter edge so often associated with over roasting to hide poor quality beans sustainably farmed beans excellent roasted locally in San Carlos beans here!!!!!!

    I was free on a weekday, so I finally got the chance to check out Papachay Peruvian Coffee. The coffee beans are grown on their farms in Peru and shipped to San Carlos. Service is friendly and they had our order ready quickly. They're located in a rather industrial area and seating is limited, so to-go is the ideal option. They're only open on weekdays, so unfortunately I won't have many chances to visit since I don't live nearby. However, if you do live nearby or have a free day on the weekdays, you should give them a try!

    Only open on weekdays and it's just a walk up window but they have great options for pastries, authentic empanadas and coffee that they grow and roast themselves! This place is worth a visit! The man who helped us was friendly and kept the line moving, the outside is eclectic and fun. I highly recommend you buy a bag of whole beans from them to support local businesses instead of greedy chain coffee places. These roasters have a great love for the art of coffee and it shows!

    Cute little coffee stand on Old County Road! I got an empanada and a sweetened cold brew mocha. The empanada was so flaky, and the chimichurri sauce paired well with it. I really enjoyed the cold brew mocha (it also came in an unexpectedly huge cup); the coffee and chocolate combination was lovely. The owner was friendly and took the time to answer some questions we had about the menu (learned what a coffee peaberry was!). Recommend arriving within around half an hour of opening time to avoid the pre-work line :))

    Peru estate roaster with counter service and small bites. Coffee is lovely. Service is great. Seating very limited and only outside. If I lived nearby this would be my go to take away and bean.

    great food, great service, the coffee and employees make it an excellent experience. They serve coffee beans and the French roast is very good

    Fugazetta empanada and chimichurri sauce - delicious!!!

    Excellent empanadas (Fugazetta and vegan) and French roast coffee. Not open on the weekends so when we were free on a Monday holiday, we came to try this place and we're not disappointed. We'll be back to try the other empanadas and have more coffee!

    My cold brew. So satisfying.

    It's way out of nowhere. But they have the best coffee. If you ever want something different try them. You won't regret it.

    The coffee has a nice smooth taste. The veggie empanada I had was very delicious, I should've ordered two because that's how good it was.

Outdoor seating is available under the canopy of Sycamore trees and California oak trees in modern cobble stone tile pavers and gravel. I was really excited to try my first coffee flight. The flight was presented by the barista in 4 on shot glasses on a wood tray; starting with a shot of espresso, piccolo, drip filtered coffee and lastly iced filtered coffee. I forget the name of the exact source and blend - although the initial encounter is acidic, a full bodied flavor takes over and lingers in the palette in a beautiful balance. This visit and full experience made my afternoon!!

There are pastries from The Midwife & the baker, some had run out but they still had some choices. I just got an ice coffee, you add your own milk that is off to the side. I also like how there is simple syrup you can add and some yummy looking thick sugar. I got the whole wheat chocolate chip cookie bc I was craving something sweet and eh, I wasn't in a health mood, I need a regular chocolate chip cookie, this did not hit, but I'll def be back when I'm in the area!

    This is for the Morning Buzz blend whole beans only…read more I ran across the Airborne Roasting stand at the Hayward farmers market, and asked about light roast beans. I was told they only have medium and dark, but the medium tastes pretty light. I asked if the beans were washed or natural, and she couldn't tell me, and wasn't even sure what that was. I should have taken that as a warning that these beans were not the same level as Devout Coffee roasters beans, which is what I usually get. However, since Airborne was cheaper than the beans I usually get from Devout Coffee, I went ahead and bought a pound of Morning Buzz. This morning, I brewed a comparison between the Airborne Roasting Morning Buzz, and my last remaining light roast beans from Devout Coffee, which at that point was several months old, whereas the Airborne beans where freshly roasted. Well, even so, the Devout light roast beans were far superior in taste than the Airborne beans. The Airborne tasted too burnt, and lacked those subtle flavors that make coffee so enjoyable. It was just a one-note band with loud speakers. My recommendation is, if you like a light roast, and sophisticated flavors in your coffee, get something else. I understand a lot of people do enjoy the burnt flavor (Starbucks, anyone?), but I wish they wouldn't have told me the medium roast tasted like a light roast: it doesn't. Note: in the end, with lots of sugar, lots of milk, and some heavy whipping cream, I was able to have a nice cup of coffee-flavored sweetness.

Long story short, our plans changed and found Airborne Roasting on Yelp. We connected with Roland (owner), which turned out to be one happy detour to our new go-to coffee roastery. Jet Fuel' roast has a bold and intense profile that will keep black coffee lovers like my husband coming back for more. On the other hand, 'Morning Buzz' and 'Barnstormer' are for coffee fans looking for more caffeine or milder and sweeter flavors. The best part is we are so very happy to be supporting a family-owned, local business that provides wonderful products and excellent customer service. Also, if you reside in Union City coffee delivery is free!
