I walked here from the Hampton Inn down First Street. Nice walk and easy to find. I liked the tables outside, although they could use some washing. It was a pretty basic SB. Latte was good. Service was quick.

Came in for some refreshing drinks and that's what I got. No coffee, but ice cold tea. The drinks were good, and staff was plenty friendly enough, and that was about it in terms of my experience. I wish I could give a more detailed review, but it was a quick and pleasant experience. Overall, I had no real qualms.

Whether seeing my old friend Victor Montoya as the manager or greeting any of the friendly Barista staff I always have a great experience while at this location. Today I was feeling under the weather and picked up a "sick tea" and it is hitting the spot. It dawned on me that this group of Baristas have always taken such good care of me and my coworkers and I want to make sure they get credit. Their manager Victor is very friendly and always inviting. Everyone working in this café are very smart, funny, knowledgeable, and considerate. They are located right smack in the middle of quite a few major employers. For that reason if you go between 7 am and 10 am you should expect to have a little bit of a line to get your drink. Even in the midst of the heavy traffic they received I've always received great service and hot drinks. Thank you. Thank you.

If you like luke warm coffee and a barista that doesn't know what coffee mints are, then great, otherwise go elsewhere.

I've enjoyed a few of their specialty seasonal drinks but those have never become core menu items. I am talking some really great items like mango matcha's, strawberry matcha's, lavendar latte's etc that I have thoroughly enjoyed but their core menu is not something I ever want to order from. They have really great stuffed croissants but those are also seasonal! My office catered pastries from here once and I still think about the spinach and cheese croissant we had alll the time! I have never seen it in their case though. And while they are really great, ~$8 for a pastry is highway robbery. Parking here is very difficult and I think most people who come here live nearby enough to walk. You gotta hope to get lucky with some street parking as they have no designated parking areas. I've had several odd cashier interactions where I am met with blank stares and no dialogue as I order. Today took the cake, however. When I ordered, the cashier looked at me confused. I picked up their menu and pointed to the item one I wanted. The cashier had to come find me again after placing my order to confirm it again. They have a seasonal chai listed and 'can be made into a pumpkin chai by request.' There was confusion around it coming with a shot of espresso and because my stomach has been completely wrecked since I had it, I think the they must have put two shots into my drink. In the past 5 hours, I've used the restrooms 4 times and eventually projectile vomited. I don't drink coffee often and had this in ONE sitting. I realize this is a unique experience as I do not drink espresso often but wanted to share so you all understand how strong their coffee is and seeing as how its across SCU, it DOES make sense why so many people come here. Upset is the least of what I feel right now and can confidently share I will not be back. Shits fucked up. No pun intended

"Academic Coffee" located in the heart of San Jose's SoFA District (South First Area) has been…read moreoffering some of the tastiest coffee, teas, and handcrafted espresso beverages dating back to the summer of 2017. Located directly at the corner of S. Second St and E. William St, this family owned-and-operated coffeeshop is in the heart of downtown. Parking here during any given day can be quite challenging; especially during the workweek as there are various offices around here as well as being in close proximity to San Jose State University. Business hours are 7am-4pm seven days a week. I came here during the morning of Friday 9/4/2026 at around 10:00am. Fortunately I was able to find a nearby parking spot but as a reminder, meters are everywhere. The exterior of the business showcases their business name complete with several planter boxes, colorful outdoor seating, and umbrellas to shield out the sun. The interior is small and quaint yet there is still ample seating for roughly two dozen customers. It is one of the smaller coffeeshops I have been to and can get quite loud. So if you're focused on studying or conducting a virtual meeting, this may not be the place for you. Since I was saving my appetite for breakfast somewhere else, I ended up ordering a drink. And to those that have been here highly praised their "Pandan Latte". This is Asias answer to a vanilla latte as they use sweetened pandan-infused extract to give it a very unique taste. I chose 2% milk and wanted to go with an iced version as it was a relatively warm summer morning. This place does offer many more unique offerings that include lattes made with banana cream. Piloncillo coffee (widely known as café de olla), and Madagascar flavors. Keep in mind that this place does not accept cash so make sure you have your cards ready to go and of course, they take Apple/Google Pay. I will say that my Pandan Latte was made to absolute perfection as the taste was not too sweet and not too bitter. The service was also above average as this small business had a very festive vibe to it. I also wanted to add that they sell a nice assortment of whole bean coffee, teas, and other various merchandise on their website, https://www.academiccoffee.com/ as well as in their brick-and-mortar stores. Furthermore, they opened a second location on Winchester Blvd/Forest Ave right near Valley Fair Mall in Santa Clara. With excellent service, prime location, and delicious beverages, I am giving "Academic Coffee" in San Jose a perfect five-star rating.

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.

They're strong in…read morethe best way: you can actually taste the tea or matcha, and the citrus comes through bright and fruity. So far I've tried the yuzu, mango cloud, passion fruit, and hojicha brown sugar, and there wasn't a miss among them. Plenty of flexibility on sugar and ice levels too. The setting is a nice bonus. It shares a space with a small market, another café, and a food stall, so there's plenty to eat and browse. It's tucked in the back of the complex, which keeps it quiet and low-traffic, and there's plenty of seating. Parking is easy too, with a lot right there. The reason this isn't five stars is the cup system and how my return was handled. If you're staying in, you can borrow their cups for free, but for to-go you need to bring your own vessel or pay a $2 deposit on one of their jars, refunded when you return it. I get the idea, and it's nice for the planet, but in practice it's a hassle. When I brought my jar back on this visit, the staff member inspected every inch of it, then discussed it with a coworker right in front of me, who then said something along the lines of "we can't sell that, but it's okay, just take it." It wasn't said to me directly, but I was standing right there, and it felt uncomfortable. I'd run the jar through the dishwasher, nothing unusual, and friends who came in afterward returned theirs the same way with no issue at all. They also didn't apply the discount for bringing my own vessel until I asked. Between the pushback on the return and having to ask for the discount, it was a frustrating experience. Honestly, I'd rather a café just use compostable paper cups. Great drinks, but I'm on the fence about coming back.

Not sure how early they made these. 3.) lychee fruit tea was flavorless. Absolutely no lychee flavored and taste like sugar when I ordered 0%. Paid a $1 for aloe Vera and was pretty skimpy on it. 4.) coco mango is literally blended coco milk and ice and mango syrup left at the bottom.

The cups/serving was pretty big, so if you care about quantity vs quality- you'll enjoy this place.

He's always rude to me as a customer, and the employees look stressed when he's present / aren't friendly like usual. One time I forgot the restroom code and threw out my receipt already (same code is always printed on the bottom). I asked one of the baristas for the code, and the owner swooped over and scolded me for losing my receipt. He then told the barista that she can't give me the code unless she checks the transaction history on their computer to verify that I was a customer. Never mind that my boyfriend and I were dining in and clearly had food and coffee at the table that I just walked away from, or that the barista just gave us our order minutes prior- such a weird way to treat your regular customers. It's embarrassing that I kept going back after that. I like how their coffee tastes though, and especially that I order for here and get it in a "big mug." It's literally the only reason I pick this place over other coffee shops. Today I received my overpriced coffee (~$9 each!) in cheap paper cups and mentioned that I ordered for here. The owner immediately lied and said the mugs were only for regular sized coffees, not large size. I was literally here yesterday drinking a large coffee from a mug. He could have just said the mugs were dirty, or the dishwasher was broken. He said that after I pointed out the lie, ha. I would have still given 2/5 stars because the food and coffee are REALLY good despite how unpleasant the owner is, but they also recently changed their menu photos to AI slop. 0/5 if I could.
