I had the bacon breakfast burrito and the seasonal raspberry iced matcha and really liked both! I was also surprised that I liked both sauces the burrito came with (I'm not sure why I was surprised, I guess I just thought I'd prefer one over the other, but both were great!) They sell Saint Frank coffee and have a number of breakfast and lunch items available. There is plenty of parking since this is in a strip mall. The interior is cute and seems like a great place to catch up with friends.

For the iced latte, shouldn't the milk go in after the espresso? Since it was the other way, the espresso was mainly on top and needed to be stirred. Seeing the workers, I know this part is thought out so just asking. Blackberry latte had a hint of blackberry which was nice. Not overwhelming. There is no waiting area after you order. You just kind of stand around somewhere in the store while you dodge people. Will definitely be back to try other items.

The two drinks we got are perfectly balanced, with the blackberry milk perfectly blending with the toasted coconut and the espresso adding a warm depth to the drink. The iced sidra pour over complimented well the fruit and floral notes of the coffee, with the peach and strawberry shining through with each sip. The line to this place definitely gets long, so show up and be prepared to wait for some good coffee!

Anywho, I came here one afternoon weekday and got a Pandan green milk tea and a corn choux pastry. It was my first time having a Pandan green milk tea, it was pretty good. The corn choux pastry was also something new for me as I've never had a corn flavored one before. Very good. Overall, will be back to try their other drinks as I heard their matcha is good as well as their salted egg cake.

Cute tea and coffee house in San Jose!…read more The salty egg yolk cake was solid, I loved the flavor of the salty egg and the soft, airy texture of the cake. I tried a Matcha Tiramisu Latte and thought it was good but not exactly what I was expecting. The matcha isn't too strong and the tiramisu part of the drink was a ladyfinger on the side in which you can choose to dip into the drink. The place was packed and busy. But still a good spot to try out if you don't mind a short wait

Amazing coffee place! The espresso was smooth and perfectly balanced (not bitter or acidic). Plus…read morethe flavor syrups are perfectly balanced in the latte. I tried the Honey Black Sesame Latte, and while I wasn't sure I would like it, I ended up loving it! The flavor was super delicious, and went really well with the espresso flavor. We also ordered the avocado toast which is made on a Japanese milk bread slice. The seasoning toppings were super interesting and yummy, just maybe would have liked a bit more of the toppings personally. I really liked the larger menu of super unique drinks and definitely will be coming back to try a couple more that caught my eye! People are super nice and even though it's busy (for a good reason) there is plenty of parking and places to sit indoors and some outdoors.

Interesting digital coffee shop…read more I was excited to see this shop was located in the same shopping center as Mitsuwa. Parking can be tricky, but, luckily, we snagged a spot right in front of the doors. Walking in, every table was filled with people working, talking, and hanging out. The staff were busy yet friendly and welcoming. I ordered a Honey Black Sesame Latte with Oat Milk and my partner got a drip coffee. Our order came out in less than 10 minutes, even though there were many orders ahead of ours. I found the digital system to be interesting to watch while I waited for our drinks. My latte was very tasty and balanced. My partner's drip coffee was okay, nothing to write home about. Overall, nice coffee shop experience. Not sure if I would go out of my way to try it again, but it is worth it if you're in the area!

First thing to know about The Orange Tabby: it's zero waste. What that means is bring your own cup!…read moreThey also have options for purchasing mason jars or their glass can cup with a bamboo lid. Now that that's done, their matcha is really good. REALLY GOOD. I appreciate them being plant based as I am a lactose intolerant girlie. The strawberry matcha is the perfect sweetness for me and I really enjoyed it, wishing that it came in a size 10x bigger. When you walk in, you might miss it. There are a few businesses in there and The Orange Tabby is elevated and is a small counter. My first time coming, it was closed (Wednesdays) but it prepared me for coming back because I knew exactly where it was. The inside of the building was very nice and clean as was The Orange Tabby. I ordered online, letting them know I was bringing my own cups. It didn't save time in the aspect where they had to wait for my cups to make it, but I was able to pay and just come in and drop off my cups to them. The girls working were super nice and friendly. I will definitely be back!

I came here today for the Summer Market they were hosting. I love their sustainability model! As…read moresomeone who's not a fan of single-use plastics and prefers glass, it's great to see them rewarding customers for bringing their own cups. The inside is small and was very crowded since they had several vendors set up inside. It was a bit claustrophobic. I think it would've been helpful if the volunteers managed the crowd and organized the lines a bit better. On the bright side, the staff were very friendly and helpful. I tried the summer special, Mango Creamsicle Matcha, with 50% sweetness. The matcha was delicious, the flavor really came through. I love matcha so I'm glad it wasn't weak. That said, I felt like the mango flavor was too subtle. I'm not sure if it's because I adjusted the sweetness but I could barely taste the mango so it didn't give mango creamsicle vibes. I still enjoyed the drink though. I would like to come back when it's less crowded to explore the market and try more drinks without the crowds.

They decorated well with their merchandise and beans. Loved that they explained the coffee bean processing types so that people can see and learn.

I've been coming to Chromatic ever since a friend introduced me to it, and after several visits,…read moreI've realized that the experience here is about much more than just coffee. Every time I walk in, the baristas take the time to ask questions about what I enjoy, how I like my coffee, and what flavors I'm looking for. They don't simply take an order they guide you through the process and genuinely seem passionate about helping customers discover something they'll love. It's clear they care deeply about coffee and creating an experience rather than just serving another cup. On my most recent visit, I came in looking for espresso beans. I was originally interested in their Gamut espresso blend but was also searching for something on the darker side. The cashier recommended their original espresso blend over the darker roast options. While it wasn't exactly what I had in mind, I trusted the recommendation because everyone I've interacted with here has been incredibly knowledgeable. A few minutes later, while I was waiting for my order, a gentleman approached me and asked, "Would you like to try something a little darker?" Of course, I said yes. He proceeded to pull a fresh espresso shot of their Opus roast and walked me through the flavor profile. It was exactly what I had been looking for. What impressed me most wasn't just the coffee it was the hospitality. He went completely out of his way to make sure I found the right coffee for my taste. He explained that they didn't have full bags of Opus available yet because they were still in the roasting process, but then generously offered me half a bag so I could pull a few shots at home for myself and my family. I've worked in hospitality for over 10 years, and this is the kind of service that truly stands out. It's the definition of going above and beyond to make a guest feel welcome and cared for. What really stuck with me was that after I tried the espresso, he came back and asked, "How was the finish on that shot for you?" It wasn't a casual question he genuinely wanted feedback and wanted to know if the coffee delivered what I was looking for. When I told him it was exactly right, he seemed just as excited as I was. Coffee can sometimes feel intimidating, especially when you're trying to learn more about different roasts, origins, and flavor profiles. Chromatic does an incredible job of making that experience approachable, personal, and enjoyable. They aren't just serving coffee they're creating meaningful experiences and tailoring them to each individual customer. This level of hospitality is rare, and it's why I'll continue coming back. Highly recommended.
