Flat white
Abigail S.

Hands down the smoothest, loveliest, yummiest flat white in the bay. What a treasure of a shop - friendly service and ambiance too. Come support local small business and see for yourself!

Japanese souffle cheesecake
Scott F.

They roast their own beans; they use JJ Coffee Craft beans, sourced from Guatemala, and roasted in Berkeley. There is one bummer: They no longer let people go up to the second floor; it's used for storage. They get all of their pastries from Satura Cakes, except for the gluten free Pistachio/rose cake. 4/5: The Japanese souffle cheesecake is good. Let it warm up to room temperature; the mild flavor comes through better. 3/5: The aztec mocha has good flavor, but there is bad flavor release; it probably works better with fat-free milk. 1/5: They made a mistake with my macchiato. It was very cold. I think they forgot to steam the milk.

Cappuccino

Beautiful location and amazing service from James who recommended a few things to try next time. The drink was good and was served in a really pretty cup!

Literally the best experience I've had at a coffee shop! I needed a place to unwind with a good book, and the ambience at Sue's was perfect for that. It was a nice and breezy day, and the outdoor seating was slightly covered so it was a perfect place to be to enjoy the sun. The coffee was alright, it wasn't anything to write home about. However, I definitely recommend coming for a good third space to spend time at.

Iced Vanilla Latte, Dirty Ube Latte
Andre M.

The drinks here are very solid, lattes and matchas. The workers here are super friendly and they make sure every drink they make are made with care. There are a lot of places to sit and study/socialize either outside or inside their gallery, however, finding parking here is a bit difficult. Overall, pretty good place for drinks and to sit down.

After a hike at Windy Hill, this was exactly the kind of place I was hoping to land in, calm, sunlit, and thoughtfully curated. I ordered the matcha latte and the charcoal latte, both beautifully made and served in handmade ceramic cups that somehow make everything taste better. The matcha was smooth and balanced, not overly grassy, while the charcoal latte was creamy and subtly rich without being heavy, ideal when you're tired but not looking for a sugar bomb. The rose cake was a standout. Light, moist, gently sweet, with real rose petals adding fragrance rather than overpowering flavor. It felt refined and comforting at the same time, perfect after hours outdoors. The space itself is peaceful and artistic, with warm wood tones and natural light that makes you want to slow down, sit, and actually enjoy the moment. It's the kind of café that feels intentional rather than rushed. If you're coming off a hike or just need a quiet, restorative break, this is a wonderful stop. Thoughtful drinks, delicate desserts, and a serene atmosphere, exactly what a post-hike treat should be.

I stopped in after lunch on a quiet Monday for a Gibraltar. It was a warm and sunny January day and the outdoor patio was quite crowded, however I was able to find a seat at a common table. My Gibraltar was perfect temperature and a nice balance of the acidity from the espresso with the creaminess of the milk. The team greeted me upon entry and politely asked if I could give them a minute to wrap up a previous order, and my drink came out pretty quickly. I did not try a bakery retreat this time, but they normally have a nice election of baked goods delivered daily.

This place has a wabi-sabi minimalist aesthetic. It's artisanal gallery-chic and I love the handcrafted elements and decors. They don't have a parking lot, so it's all street parking. I got a hojicha latte, and it was lightly sweetened.

Menu

This is a nice little cafe in the heart of downtown Saratoga, with plenty of seating outside and in other patio room. There is only street parking so be prepared. I've visited this cafe a few times, mainly ordering the Charcoal latte and the Mascarpone toast. All the baristas have been friendly and helpful each time. The Charcoal latte has a nice balance to the flavor, not overpowering or powdery at all. The Mascarpone toast is very lightly sweet, the cream is airy. The fruit is quite sweet, but I guess it depends on the season as well. They have a decent variety of drinks and food on the menu. Honestly, a perfect stop for the spring and summer!

Super cute cafe and a great location! I ordered a cappuccino with whole milk and it was ready almost right after I ordered! I love their ceramics they serve coffee in if you're dining in. Great service and cute ambiance.

Sue's Gallery Café is such a gem. The vibe is warm and artistic, the staff is super friendly, and everything feels thoughtfully crafted. Their iced oat charcoal latte is amazing: smooth, unique, and balanced. A great spot to relax or get work done. Anthonyxibarrax

Charcoal latte, Mocha, chocolate croissant
Siri B.

Very close to Hakone gardens and at the tail end of big basin way downtown road, is Sue's gallery cafe tucked in magically... The ambiance is super upbeat and bright. I've been there only once but would love to go back again. Their menu is very different from the other bay area coffee shops that included charcoal, Aztec latte etc., There was outdoor and indoor seating. Looked like there's seating upstairs but it was closer when I visited them. We ordered a charcoal latte, chocolate croissant and a mocha. The charcoal latte was earthy and flavorful. I loved it. But be ready to get your lips tinted Their crockery collection is very artistic as well!

Left to Right: Yuzu Tea, Iced Caramel Latte, Vanilla Latte
Anh T.

Stopped by Sue's Gallery Cafe with a few friends for the first time in years, and they have since expanded to include a lot of sitting room both indoors and outdoors for people to work and study! The line was short, and the wait for our drinks was less than ten minutes. There's not much parking in the Saratoga Downtown, however, especially on the weekend before Halloween. We tried their Yuzu Tea, Iced Caramel Latte, London Fog, and Vanilla Latte. All these drinks were delicious, with my favorite being the London Fog for its not too strong earl grey tea taste and the Yuzu Tea for it being bright, refreshing, and having the right amount of citrus sweetness. The cafe had a cozy and artful vibe, and their staff was friendly and provided a welcoming atmosphere!

Ordered the 8" Injeolmi Cake for an event and it was moist and not too sweet! Well enjoyed by all…read morethe guests and many wanted a second slice. The ordering process on their website made things very easy. Ordered on a Wednesday and the site let me know that the order would be ready for pick up by Friday. Love that all the dessert flavors are so creative with the Korean theme and so beautifully decorated. Would definitely order again for a future event and want to come back to try the other desserts!

I found this bakery as part of my quest to find a bakery that was not to sweet for my dads…read morebirthday. Needless to say I found it, in the best possible way. And as a high compliment coming from Asian parents, it, in fact, was not too sweet. Instead of committing to one flavor, I had the genius idea of Frankensteining a cake together. 8 different flavors, 8 different slices: - Chocolate Gateaux -Sweet Corn Cheesecake - Dubai Chocolate Cake -Black Sesame Gateaux - Pink Guava Sponge Cake - Hojicha Sesame Crumble Cake - Earl Grey Sponge Cake - Strawberry Matcha Sponge Cake Now, this method of trying different cakes was, in my opinion, genius. But would I recommend it? Not necessarily, as it definitely totaled more than what a single flavored whole cake would have been. Though, worth it. Also disclaimer, I did also get a couple of extra pastries (vanilla canele, cream cheese cookie, earl grey madeline, and the butter mochi vanilla bear), which is why the total ended up being more. My absolute favorites were the black sesames, sweet corn cheese cake, and the pink guava sponge cake. Definitely recommend the canele as well as the butter mochi vanilla bear. I will 100% come back for their cheesecakes, as I think they do them very well because they're light and airy, while still being satisfyingly creamy. In terms of their cakes in general, while I can absolutely appreciate their lower sweetness levels compared to many other bakeries, for me personally, I did not think they were sweet enough. But if you're looking for that perfect not-too-sweet dessert. This is the bakery for you. Didn't try, but they also have a wide variety of cafe drinks as well. Service was quick and thorough- much appreciated.

While we were in Los Gatos, my daughter and I spotted Fleur de Cocoa and immediately had to stop…read morebecause we have a slightly unhealthy obsession with chocolate croissants. We had to see if they had any, and luckily there was exactly one left! We bought it to have for breakfast the next morning. I'll admit, I was a little nervous because it was packaged in a bag and I wasn't sure how well it would hold up overnight. But the next morning, we basically fought over who was going to get the biggest piece. It was still flaky and delicious, and there was chocolate in every bite. The chocolate was in strips through the middle rather than spread throughout the entire pastry, but there was still enough that we never had a bite without chocolate. It ended up being such a sweet way to start our last day in town. They had so many other pastries and desserts that looked absolutely amazing, but we had just eaten lunch and knew we were heading back out for the day, so we didn't want to risk buying something that might melt in the car. If you're in Los Gatos and love chocolate croissants as much as we do, definitely stop in! And if there's only one left...don't hesitate. Grab it!

HUGE thank you to the very lovely people at La Patisserie who made a custom cake for my brother's…read morebirthday. They matched the reference photo I gave them almost exactly - and actually made it look better than the photo! They were so kind and patient in our back-and-forth about the cake details and it was packaged so carefully on the day of the pick-up. Every step of the process went so smoothly and I cannot recommend them enough. Plus, everything I have ever had from them has been delicious. This place is such a gem within the Bay Area. I am beyond grateful to the wonderful and talented staff at La Patisserie.

I've been coming to La Patisserie in Cupertino for years, usually when I'm already in the area…read moreshopping. There are a lot more fancy dessert shops around the Bay Area these days, but somehow I still come back for their Guava Cake. It's actually a strange craving. I don't think about this cake every week. Sometimes I completely forget about it for months, then one day something goes wrong in my brain and suddenly I NEED a guava cake. I've had this cake many times over the years and that's probably what impresses me most - it really hasn't changed much. Same fluffy cake, same very fragrant guava flavor, same bright old-school appearance. Maybe the angle of the whipped cream piping has changed a few degrees over the years, but I'll allow that process deviation. The guava flavor is the main reason I keep buying it. To me, it tastes surprisingly natural and close to real fruit. I've had plenty of guava desserts where you immediately get that artificial syrup/flavoring impression. I don't get that here. The guava is strong and fragrant, the cake itself is very light and fluffy, and the mousse and glossy guava topping give you that fruit flavor in almost every bite. This is definitely an old-school cake. It's not trying to be Lady M or some modern Instagram dessert. And that's fine. A good traditional cake is still a good cake. Usually I'm buying the whole cake to bring to someone's house, so I've watched a lot of first-timers try it over the years. Guava is guava - some people think it's on the sweet side, others love how fragrant it is. But somehow this is the one guava cake I've brought around that pretty much everybody ends up liking. And one comment I hear a lot is how natural the guava flavor tastes. It's around $70 for a whole cake now, which definitely isn't cheap. But if I'm paying that much for cake, at least give me something I can actually remember the next day. This one I can. If I'm planning to pick one up around 4 or 5 PM, I normally order earlier in the day. I've learned not to conduct unnecessary cake-inventory experiments. After all these years, La Patisserie's Guava Cake is still basically the same cake I remember. Dr. C long-term stability study: PASSED. Whipped cream piping angle may have experienced minor process drift. No CAPA required.

For my baby shower I went with a Winnie the Pooh theme, which I adored as a kid myself…read more I worked with Maryam from Marvel Cake to come up with our custom cake order, based on an inspiration image I found. The canvas is a creamy white frosting, the base wrapped with flowing grass icing and white and yellow flower fondant. A classic whimsical Winnie and Piglet are nestled in the grass. As you make your way to the top of the cake, there's a "Hunny" jar with overflowing honey icing spilling over the side, and little fondant bees enjoying the bountiful honey. Perched at the top next to the honey jar is a chocolate yellow honeycomb, a perfect touch to this artful cake. The cake was an absolute hit with guests, and a perfect centerpiece. Then it came time to cut the cake... which felt so wrong but also so so right. The cake cut smoothly and was impeccably moist. Inside was a chocolate cake with a chocolate mousse filling. It was as lovely and delicious on the inside as it appeared on the outside. Infinity out of 10, can't recommend Marvel Cake enough! Great communication with Maryam, on-time pickup the morning of our event, and the price was very reasonable. If you're in the Campbell / San Jose area and looking for a custom cake, look no further!

I've been here a few times, and I honestly don't know why I haven't reviewed this place yet…read more The moment you walk into Manresa Bread, you're greeted right away. The space has a modern yet warm feel with beautiful natural wood finishes, fresh loaves of sourdough lining the shelves, pastries displayed in the case, and a mix of large communal wood tables, regular seating, and high-top tables. It's the kind of café that makes you want to slow down and stay awhile. The staff was friendly and helped us choose both a pastry and our toast. They were also happy to customize our order--we asked for the levain sourdough toast with butter instead of the usual olive oil. That toast was absolutely divine. The sourdough had the perfect balance: chewy without being too sour, with a crust that was crisp but not so hard that it fought back. Easily the best sourdough toast I've had in the Bay Area. If you come here, this is the one thing you have to order. The only disappointment was the butter. They serve French butter, but for an extra $2, the portion was tiny and honestly nothing special. I've had better butter from Whole Foods. It didn't take away from how incredible the bread was, but it wasn't worth the upcharge. Their Kouign-amann is also one of the best I've ever had. Instead of the typical flat, flaky style, theirs is taller with countless buttery layers that create an amazing texture. The cappuccino was another highlight. It had subtle notes of orange peel, whiskey, and cardamom, making it unique. The latte art was beautiful too. Overall, Manresa Bread is one of those cafés that makes you want to sit down with a laptop or a book and spend a few hours there. The only downside is there are no power outlets, so come with a full battery if you're planning to work. Must orders: Levain sourdough toast with butter and the Kouign-amann. Both are worth the trip.
