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.
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.
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!
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.
Ordered less ice, but was about 95% ice. Drink was good, but there may have only been an ounce of actual drink.
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!
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!
Pretty good, couldn't tase the coffee that much, nothing super special. Order on tablet, drinks came out super fast. It did the job.
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!
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.
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.

I had the pleasure of working with Tammy and her team at Robu Coffee to coordinate a catering order for a corporate event, and the entire experience was exceptional. Tammy was incredibly professional, responsive, and accommodating--graciously working with us to include specific requests, such as gluten-free options. The planning process was seamless and stress-free on my end. Although our order was on the smaller side, Tammy personally arrived early to handle setup, which was very thoughtful and much appreciated. My colleagues were especially impressed with the drink selection--favorites included the Vienna Einspänner latte and the strawberry matcha--as well as the delicious pastries. I'm genuinely looking forward to the next opportunity to collaborate with the Robu Coffee team. Funny enough, I had actually heard of Robu Coffee before reaching out, as their shop is located right next to our dog's daycare. My partner and I decided to stop by one day and were instantly hooked--especially by the Korean garlic bun and the outstanding beverages! read more

4/5 I was excited to try this place, but it's a little bit overpriced for the size of the drinks, the kinds of pastries, and the service you're getting. we got: - matcha einspanner 3.8/5: overall the drink was good but not GREAT. the matcha was MUCH grittier than expected and the drink had an almost soy vanilla taste (???) even though I got the whole milk - mixed fruit sando 4/5: yummy and very filling read more

I stopped by recently before my Caltrain, and struggled a bit to find the location. It's buried in the back of a restaurant, bordering a pretty rundown parking lot, but sounds like they're moving to a more permanent space which is great! I got the signature latte, and thought it was decent. You can ask for less sugar, which I did, and the sweetness was perfect. The espresso shot was really bitter, and if not for the other parts of the latte, would have definitely overwhelmed. Definitely don't recommend getting a pure coffee drink here, as I wouldn't have high hopes. The coffee jelly added a yummy bite, and the overall drink was still solid. Whenever they reopen, definitely give them a go! read more
I've been on the search for a einspanner in the bay & I think I've found the spot. After searching all over Yelp, I found a spot in the South Bay which serves einspanner amongst other drinks. Upon arriving, I did notice that pop-up was set up in another tea bar and when I asked the cashier regarding their new location, she stated that their new location will be 10 mins away from there and will have outdoor seating which is great for those that come w/ their pupperoo. The cashier was super friendly and was patient w/ us as we tried to decide what drinks we wanted as everything sounded so good :) We finally decided & ordered their ube coconut coffee, matcha einspanner latte and their signature coffee. NO REGRETS. *Ube Coconut Coffee: 10/10, my bf loved his drink. Made w/ such a smooth coffee that has a deep coffee flavor mixed in with coconut and topped with ube foam. Coffee was not acidic or burnt, just perfect. * Matcha Einspanner Latte: creamy ceremonial matcha, YES YES. You can actually taste the matcha, the milk was creamy and blended so well together. 10/10. * Signature Coffee: my sister got this and also another good choice to get if you can't decide heh. Their roast is so deep and smooth and combined w/ the milk they serve-chefs kiss. For this drink, they also add in coffee jelly which has a great texture to it. 10/10. I'm glad that we found this place, I can't wait to try the other drinks on their menu and I'm definitely looking forward to their new location once it opens up! If you're looking for a quality coffee and tea shop w/ quick and good service, check out Robu Coffee :) read more
Great drinks, great sandos, and great service! My friend and I had the Yuzu matcha fizz and coconut ube latte, and they were both so delicious. My only warning is that the Vietnamese coffee is strong, so definitely drink it earlier in the day if you are sensitive to caffeine. As far as flavors go, you will not be disappointed. You are able to customize the sweetness level as well. We tried three of their sandos (chicken salad, egg salad, and strawberry) and really enjoyed all of them. They also offer other pastries as well. Lastly, service was great. Staff was very happy to offer drink suggestions. It is clean indoors, and there is both indoor and outdoor seating here. I will definitely be back to try their other coffees and eat more of the sandos. read more

New favorite coffee place! If yall know me, you know that I don't like acidic coffee. Unfortunately most of the Bay Area coffeeshops prefer light roasts, so I tend to go to Asian cafes as I find their coffee to be more well balanced, not acidic nor burnt. If you enjoy this type of coffee, you're going to love Robu! Even if you like Western style roasts and coffee, you'll enjoy this place too- hubby said this is one of the best coffee in the Bay, and he's a true coffee affectionado. We tried 3 drinks: 1) Coconut ube coffee: This was an extremely rich and creamy drink. I loved the ube and coconut flavors but found it too sweet at their recommended 50% sugar. Next time I'll get it less sweet. 2) Oat milk shakerato with coffee jelly: this was so delicious!! It was super refreshing and light and just the right amount of sweetness (aka, not too sweet) at the recommended 50% sugar. I will for sure get this again, it's the perfect coffee drink for a hot summer's day as some lattes taste too cloying. Nope, not this one. So perfectly balanced, light, and refreshing. 3) Vienna Einspanner latte: this was so delicious as well, also not too sweet at 50%. This drink had more of a coffee taste to it and reminded me of the Einspanner lattes in Korea. Hubby loved this drink and finished it in minutes. All in all, I'm super impressed with this little pop up. They did say they're planning to move to a new location so be sure to follow their IG page to keep up with the news! Until then, I'll be coming back for their coffee and other drinks, such as the yuzu fizz (with yuzu purée, mint, and sparkling water). -@hungry.hungry.helena read more

I came to try out the Cherry Blossom Latte on their menu and didn't know it was a seasonal drink. I chose regular sweetness for my drink, however, you do have the option to regular or 50% sweetness if you would like. Even though at first I thought it was going to be sweet, it was evenly balanced out with the coffee and the cherry blossom foam. It wasn't overly sweet and was perfect, also there's the crystal boba in there as well! Next time, I definitely want to try out the Coconut Ube Coffee. Inside the store, it's fairly small with two small tables. So if you're looking for a place to grab a quick coffee fix with a variety of choices, I'd recommend coming here! read more

Tried several drinks, but none really worked out. The coffee tasted blank and the foam was either too salty or too sweet. The matcha was disappointing -- it tasted more like strawberry milk than strawberry matcha. The tea had almost no flavor, just like water. read more
I got the cherry blossom latte and I really liked it! Keep in mind, their regular sweetness is 50%. At first, I was scared that the coffee would be too strong but it's actually at the perfect amount - not too sweet and not too strong. The cherry blossom cold foam was good and had a hint of a floral taste. As for the black sesame latte, it was good too even though the cold foam only had a slight taste of black sesame. The vienna einspanner matcha latte has to be one of my favorite matcha lattes ever. I would definitely come back for it! It's pretty hard finding a place with good matcha lattes but this place does it right. The drink is not overly sweet and does not have a grassy taste. It was also mixed well! read more

So excited to finally give this place a try! Needed an afternoon pick me up today so I figured that this would be the perfect opportunity. I placed my order online and it was ready right on time! The staff were extremely friendly and got my order to me promptly. The egg coffee was delicious! Not too sweet and hit the spot perfectly. I can't wait to try other items on their menu. They share their space with K Tea it looks like, which I haven't tried yet either, so I'll definitely have to give that a go, too! It's a small place but the drink packs a punch and is well worth a stop, in my opinion. Can't wait for my next trip! read more

3/5 stars, not mad about it but maybe not the best place for matcha. Ordered a Vienna matcha einspanner but the matcha color is very light, is too sweet and too much milk for the matcha ratio. The Ube coconut latte was way too concentrated and the ube flavor completely disappears when you mix the drink. The place itself is very cute and the staff was friendly but a few tweaks to the drinks need to be made read more

It was a nice spot on the road facing coffee shop with retail parking behind the store or street parking for quick pickup. The drink was good; not too strong and not too sweet. The service were really attentive and nice. They even said bye to us by name. Will definitely go again when in the area. read more

10/10 the service was amazing, very personable. Great atmosphere and even more delicious coffee and drinks :) I'm not sure if it was the owner or manager but she was awesome ! She bagged all of our Sando's for us and taped them to so they wouldn't spill. The matcha was delicious and the foam on the cherry blossom latte was so good ! Definitely not a cherry medicine flavor I was expecting lol she also was really sweet about my little dog in the picture. read more

We were looking for coffee spots on yelp and this place popped up. I'm glad we checked it out. The place is fairly new -- the lady (I think she is the owner) who took our order said they opened a few months ago and this is currently their pop up location while they look for a permanent space. Customer service was excellent too! We ordered the egg coffee, 50% sweet and the Vienna einspanner latte, 50% sweet. Both drinks were great and the sweetness was perfect. I will be returning to try their other drinks. read more

Tried out new coffee place in Sunnyvale. Ordered the Cherry Blossom and Pho coffees. The Cherry Blossom tastes good. The Pho Coffee is too strong, it's okay, but I will not order it again. It has the Pho taste ingredients. Hahah. Felt like I just had Pho. I want to try the egg coffee or the Ube coffee the next time and see if it is good as other places. read more

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.
