Vienna Einspanner Latte
Kenneth M.

Good coffee. Lots of options to choose from but I went with a recommendation from one of the staff members and I'm happy I went with that. Very friendly people. Lots of outdoor seating and some seating inside. It was my first time trying a Japanese egg salad sando and I enjoyed it. Will be coming back to try the Coconut Ube Coffee.

Robu has been my go to place for banana cream pudding. I've tried many places and they are too sweet. We ordered two and were quite disappointed. This is not really an issue but the banana slices were already brown or we left it out a little too long (~15 minutes after delivery). We opened one, which tasted different (crumbs a bit soggy, banana a little slimy) from the previous. Then we looked at the other one and found the best by date. This is different from expiration date but would prefer a fresh or later best by date.

Came here after a trial dance class for lunch with a friend. Ordered the chicken salad sando which I quite enjoy and the coconut pistachio coffee. I love the different drink offerings they have and the quick sandwich convenience. Limited seating inside but plenty outside the cafe.

Nitro Matcha ($7.25) and Egg Sando ($12.95)
Andrew P.

Nice little coffee spot under an apartment complex, with extra seating outside - great for parties of 4 or less. They have a variety if drinks and Japanese-style "Sandos," and of course I went with the egg. The bread was a little too firm for my liking but it made sense for it to hold the heaping amount of delicious egg in the center. I loved the whole semi-firm egg yolk in the center too! I absolutely fell in love with the Nitro matcha drink; it had a strong tea flavor and it wasn't too sweet at all. I wish they sold it by the liter! The staff were friendly and promptly served us. The ambiance is pretty quiet despite some loud non-English bickering in the supply closet, which startled everyone. I'll still come back for another nitro matcha drink so they can keep the conflicts going, lol.

Cherry Blossom Latte
Tiffany T.

I love cafes with unique drinks, and Robu Coffee is definitely one of them! I'm a huge fan of floral flavors, so I got the cherry blossom latte. The cherry blossom tasted like a more refined version of Gogurt. It was great and complemented well with the latte! There are some tables inside, but the space is small. We found a table outside under the shade. Really nice spot to just sip coffee and enjoy the California sun!

Coconut Ube Coffee
Stacey I.

Robu Coffee is cute, and I love how many different crafted drinks they have, on top of different Japanese sando (sandwich) to pair with them. I found the drink and the sando I ordered to be okay. It was not horrible, but it didn't wow me as well. DRINKS: 7/10 FOOD: 7/10 SERVICE: 10/10 AMBIANCE: 8/10 What I ordered: Ube Coconut Cream Vietnamese Coffee Japanese Egg Sando DRINKS: 7/10 The Vietnamese coffee base was good with the coffee cream. The ube cream did not have a great ube taste and tasted powdery. The ube taste was very underwhelming, and I would just get the coconut cream and Vietnamese coffee next time. Lastly, it was a bit too sweet, and I will lower my sweetness next time, despite choosing a low sweetness level already. FOOD: 7/10 The egg sando was decent! The bread wasn't fluffy and soft, but not hard either. I've just had better sandos elsewhere but wouldn't mind getting it again. SERVICE: 10/10 The staff was nice and friendly, and the service was decently quick. I liked that their was a kiosk to order which helped me take my time to order and customize my preferences. AMBIANCE: 8/10 There was ample seating around, whether you prefer a table or a window seat. It was very clean inside as well.

Less ice
Henry Y.

Ordered less ice, but was about 95% ice. Drink was good, but there may have only been an ounce of actual drink.

Selection of sandos

Robu coffee provides a great option for folks who are craving matcha and Japanese sandwiches. I came here on a Saturday with my partner around 12, and it wasn't too busy. There are a couple of tables in the inside and a lot outside for you to sit! The cashier at the counter was very friendly and attentive. We waited around 10 minutes for our drinks, where we were able to take our sandwiches from the refrigerated portion of the case. It seems like there are sandwiches you can order where they will make it for you in the back, which I would like to try next time. Between me and my partner, here is what we got: * Sakura iced coffee: this exceeded my expectations! I thought the Sakura flavor came through without being too sweet and surprisingly the coffee did not overpower it and complemented it very well. * Banana matcha: this might be one of the first banana matchas I have had that did not taste artificial. I really like how they give you a small spoon shovel so you can eat some of the pudding top. So cute! * Egg sando: very yummy and they used the perfect amount of mayo. It was a light, delightful bite. * Strawberry sando: now this is the overall winner that stole my heart! This might be the best strawberry sando I had and I was surprised! Their strawberries were not only fresh and crisp, but the deep sweet vanilla bean flavor you got from the whipped cream was phenomenal! I usually do not care for strawberry sandos but this one got my attention! Overall, awesome place in Mountain View!

Mixed Fruit Sando
Amy K.

Stopped by Robu Coffee and tried the Vienna matcha latte. It was a bit too sweet for my taste (I personally don't love overly sweet drinks), but my friends actually liked it, so I think it just depends on your preference. The cafe itself is pretty small but cute, with some outdoor seating which is nice on a good day. I'd come back to try their fruit sando next time!

Traditional Vietnamese Coffee
Saya H.

Pretty good, couldn't tase the coffee that much, nothing super special. Order on tablet, drinks came out super fast. It did the job.

Jomar A.

Came here for the sandwiches and i will continue coming back for the sandwiches. I've been missing some Japanese style sandwiches so this place I found on Yelp will be my fix for now. The sandwiches were yummy and the drinks were pretty strong which I love. It's a good place to grab some snacks and work remotely or even just to catch up with a friend. The cashier was extremely helpful when the tablet you can order from isn't working. The service is a bit slower but was probably due to them training someone that day. There's a small lobby area or you can sit outside!

Cat M.

i enjoy the drinks, pastries, and space very much here. it's a bit small, but never really busy enough that you won't get a seat. they also have retail parking in the back that is connected to the apartment building. the pastries here are my favorite, specifically the garlic cream bread. the matchas are good too. super friendly workers, they had brought out samples for a new drink they were testing out. i appreciate that and to me, shows that they care about customer feedback/satisfaction.

Kiosk
Ashley V.

Another day, another banana matcha latte. This wasn't my favorite latte, I think it has something to do with the matcha smell/flavor. Maybe too earthy for me? BUT the banana pudding was so good. I love that they use fresh banana and Nilla wafers. Points for presentation too. I got oat milk and less sweet. Less sweet is the way to go. It's a little on the pricey side for a matcha, $7.95, plus $.80 for oat milk. They have lots of options for drinks and to eat. The sandos looked delicious. They also have their banana pudding canned and I'm sad I didn't get one. I ordered on a kiosk and it was made very quickly. Workers were polite. The parking is tricky if you've never been here. It's a small drive way next to the convenience store so don't miss it (like I did). Parking was easy, but the garage is very dark. Lots of indoor and outside seating so bring your furry friends.

Hi, I am a huge fan of black sesame latte. Can I substitute Vietnamese coffee base with traditional espresso?

Hi Cathy! We are more than happy to customize your coffee experience. Instead of a Vietnamese phin-dripped coffee base, you can request an espresso base. Thank you so much, and we hope to see you soon.

That was perfectly delivered with the original crepe cake. I wanted the Pistachio, but I didn't plan well ahead. This one is popular. However, I was pleased to try the original as a gateway to Lady M cakes! It was fairly simple with light cream and inspired me to return to try another. They sell these delights by the slice also, and there's fancy candies in boxes against the wall also. Staff is friendly also. I missed that 12 noon window by a few minutes to having my order ready by my desired date. They took my phone call and put my order in.

Since moving closer to downtown Mountain View, I've been frequenting this location of Café 86, to…read morethe satisfaction of my soul and the mild disappointment of my wallet. They offer a variety of drinks, from lattes to milk teas to shakes. Some of my favorites include the Mocha Latte and Ube Milk Tea. The only disappointment was the Mermaid, but I'm not a green tea drinker so maybe it's just not my taste. The drinks lean sweet, so for those who prefer less sugar than me (i.e. most people), you should adjust accordingly. Meanwhile, the desserts are just as diverse and delicious. I enjoyed the Ube Cashew Brownie and Milo Cupcake, but would recommend the Ube Leche Flan Cupcake for your first visit. One trend across their offerings is the use of Filipino flavors like ube, Milo, and sweet corn. It makes them stand out in the crowded cafe & boba market. On the other aspects.. the store itself isn't too big but is well-decorated. There's not much seating so most will just order to-go. The service is usually quick so that's not an issue. Overall, I highly recommend checking out Café 86, as I'm pretty sure you'll find something you like.

Craftsman and Wolves is a killer crafts bakery that makes the perfect Kouign-amann. The shop does many things including a signature bread pudding, small in size but big in flava. Measures maybe two and a half inches diameter, an inch thick. Packs a wonderful wowie punch with the seasonally ripe berries and fruit, plus a few pieces of specialty chocolate. My friend who knows from excellent pastries says the goods at C and W are special because the sugars in each item are balanced, not excessive. The goodies we sampled together were scrumptious. Somehow even my pedestrian palate senses that these dessert thingies are distinctive and of ultra quality. Ambiance-wise, it's a noisy place with a few tables lining the windows. You are elbow to elbow practically against neighbouring tables. I know I heard every syllable of the conversation going on to my right-hand side. I also knew it was Korean, so I couldn't successfully eavesdrop... boooooo. Very unique metallic artsy fashioned chairs make the space seem modern. There's merch in the corner and on a wall.

I would definitely take friends and family here for the wide option of pastries and sandwiches !

I'd like to try the Bites and Mochi Donuts in the future. This particular location only has outdoor seating, but the interior is sufficient for ordering & waiting. The service is generally good too. There was one day where they had a mishap with their fridge, meaning a bunch of menu items were unavailable, but they were able to manage the situation without too much customer dissatisfaction.
