Service has always great, and they get the drinks out relatively fast. One drink I'd recommend NOT getting is the iced Americano. I love iced Americanos and it is usually my go-to drink at cafes, but here it was incredibly sour. I've ordered it here multiple times to give them the benefit of the doubt, but each time it has been sour. If you're looking to sit down and get some work done, definitely come earlier in the morning, because the place gets packed fast around 11am/12pm. There's a lot of foot traffic, especially since Trader Joe's and Costco is right there.

As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by Enrique, who had such a warm and welcoming demeanor. We took a moment to look over the menu, and he quickly picked up that it was our first time. After we confirmed, he asked about our coffee preferences--strong, sweet, or somewhere in the middle--and walked us through the seasonal menu with some great suggestions. My wife ordered the iced lavender vanilla, and I went with the iced café carmelita. He also asked if we wanted food, so we tried the lemon blueberry loaf and a turkey avocado sandwich. Everything did not disappoint. The drinks were amazing--Enrique absolutely nailed the recommendations--and the turkey avocado sandwich was especially memorable. While our drinks were being made, we had some friendly small talk with the staff, which added to the experience. The overall vibe was great. The team was super friendly and attentive--when a line started forming, other staff jumped in right away to make sure no one was left waiting. I'm really glad we stopped in and gave this place a shot. We'll definitely be back!

It was flaky, chewy, not too sweet, almonds were burnt. Even after 4 hours, it was perfect. 5/5 stars - $6 - Americano: yea I know, boring but it was good! Acidic but not too much. Would've loved to taste the bean more 4/5 stars - $4.50? Definitely a good work/study cafe on a random weekday

The atmosphere was really nice, and the waiting area had comfortable seating and great decor. We got the birria bowl, a burger, and matcha to go. The birria bowl was delicious, with great toppings and a spicy sauce that had a nice touch of sweetness. The rice was soft and fluffy, and the burger was juicy and perfectly seasoned. Even the to-go packaging was really unique. Overall, great food, service, and atmosphere. Definitely one of my favorite restaurant experiences in the San Jose area!

They have a bunch of different coffees and matcha drinks, and lots of breakfast options! You order at the counter once the hostess finds you a table and then the cashier gives you a table number for you to put at your table. I think this makes everything go faster since they just have to bring your food to your table. The breakfast sandwiches were really good and loaded with lots of ingredients and very flavorful! The lattes were good , but the cherry matcha latte was very good!! You could taste the hint of cherry in it! They have a lot of seasonal drinks that are on the menu in front of the register as well! Clearly, this place is very popular, seeing as the line never died down the whole time we were there!

The staff was also super polite and welcoming. That said, the drinks were a bit of a mixed bag. I ordered the orange cardamom latte for myself and a pistachio latte for my husband. The orange cardamom latte was honestly pretty underwhelming. Instead of a bright, zesty citrus note, it came across as purely linear and sour. Mix that sourness with whole milk, and it just didn't taste right or appetizing at all, and the cardamom was way too subtle to save it. On the other hand, the pistachio latte was actually really delicious. The only catch? It didn't taste like pistachio at all. It was very vanilla-forward instead. So while it was a great cup of coffee, missing the actual featured flavor was a bit of a letdown. Great vibe, sweet staff, and nice outdoor seating, but the specialty flavors could definitely use some tweaking.

I'm not a huge boba/milk tea fan so I guess take this as a review from someone with pretty…read moresuperficial knowledge. I tried two drinks, a Vietnamese iced coffee made less sweet and a 3/4 sweet peach... peach something. I forget the name, but the menu is small it's the peach one. Both were fantastic. Definitely on the sweet side but not "this is melted ice cream" sweet like I've had at some places. I'd still probably get the peach one 50% next time. The Vietnamese iced coffee was very intensely flavored, had a great texture, and for whatever reason wasn't as hyper-caffeinated as some I'd had. I've had some Vietnamese coffees that made me feel like I was going to bounce off the walls, this was more mellow. But it still has the strong coffee flavor I'm used to. The peach drink was super refreshing, full of peach flavor, but again the level of sugar wasn't cloying at all. And the little chunks of peach added a nice texture to the experience. Again, not an expert on milk tea/boba, but this was probably some of the best I've had, definitely the best I can remember. Inside the shop is a bit spartan but there's seating for a few groups. You order via a kiosk and then someone brings the drinks out to the counter, so it's a bit impersonal. They take credit cards and the parking lot is a little tight.

My daughter showed me what she had ordered me at the kiosk. I thought great, and took pictures of the inside of the shop (it was empty) We sat down, and noticed the height of the table was very low to the benches, and the stools were very squat, more child sized. I did think the shop was nicely decorated, and appeared clean. I asked my daughter did she see any employees when she arrived, and she replied no. I thought that was weird, and she laughed and said she ordered and paid through the kiosk. After a while a lady appear from behind the curtain, and said "Your order", no eye contact or smile. We grabbed our drinks, and walked out, taking sips of our different teas. Mine was very sweet, and my daughters was very strong, it tasted over brewed and too sweet. We really disliked her tea flavor. We were disappointed, I added water and ice to mine, it helped, my daughter's tea order was a loss.

Highly recommend if you're in the area. They changed management a few years ago and I'm happy to say they have kept the same warm service. Pictured: my son loves their white chocolate mocha.
