Cute, little hidden gem across from Leland high school!…read more Kenz Coffee Bar is a Coffee Airstream that serves classic and unique espresso drinks around the Los Gatos area. They do not have any dedicated parking and you will need to rely on street parking, but from the times I have been there, it has been pretty fruitful. When walking towards the reserved area, you are greeted with very mystical decor, with hanging fake wisterias, and decorated in floral. The menu has a good amount of items to try from, and they do have seasonal drinks. When I asked the last time, they did mention they stock their pastries from Manresa (if you are a fan, you might want to order a thing or two!) The service is very friendly, and I waited max only 10 minutes for my drink. Despite it being completely outdoor, there is ample seating, and while I might not recommend it for studying or working from home, this is a cute spot to catch up with friends or even read a book outdoors. The last few times I went, I got a lavender latte (and it did not blow my mind nor differed from other places), but despite that, it still fulfilled a need. I also have ordered a seasonal orange cardamom latte (only comes iced), which had subtle floral notes and a mild citrus flavor. It was delicious. I wish it came hot, but that is just preference. A great local spot! I will continue to come back if I am in the area.

The food and drinks are delicious and the setting is tranquil and welcoming. There is a good selection of teas and pastries as well as a selection of items for kids.

The coffee shop was located at the front of a church, in a very quiet part of Los Gatos. I arrived a little after 2pm, and followed the instructions to park at one of the 5 First Time Guest Parking spots. There were plenty of other parking spaces as well. The signs to the coffee shop up the stairs were very clear. The inside of the coffee shop was bright, clean, and spacious with a cool and peaceful vibe. Service was friendly. While the tables of the banquette seating along one wall were all taken, there were plenty of other tables and chairs available. My matcha was very pretty and tasted legit. The fancy pastries (some savory/some sweet) from Neighbor Bakehouse in San Francisco all looked beautiful and yummy. The ones I tried were all delicious. The selections were limited, but you didn't have to go all the way to SF to get them. This would be a great place to have a nice cup of coffee while getting some work/study done, too.

I am so pleased with my experience here! Everything was phenomenal…read more We loved the birria breakfast burrito. I think it was the best breakfast burrito I've ever had. The whole ensemble of textures and flavors came together very well - it also came with these two aioli type of sauces that really elevated the burrito. The bacon egg and cheese sandwich was also delicious, even reheated on the second day. The bun was airy and the bacon was thick and crispy. We also shared truffle tots, which came as plain tots with truffle parmesan. Also delicious. The vienna latte was my favorite drink. The cocoa dusted cream top reminded me of tiramisu, my favorite. The double shot of espresso was rich and strong, and still carried through the thick cream top. The raspberry matcha special had a pleasant raspberry punch but it was too tart overall for my preference. It can get quite noisy, including in their new indoor/outdoor seating area. The line outside can look daunting but it moves quickly. Service was great! We paid about $28pp total. Would love to try the rest of their menu!

A really cute spot with a decent number of tables (indoor and outdoor) and wifi for working. It is…read morepretty busy, but if you can snag a spot, it's a fun spot to study or work on a laptop. There are charging ports under some of the tables. The menu is a bit hard to read--some items are on a big hanging letterboard, some are on a laminated printout, others are in a standing letterboard, and some of the items lack descriptions (would you know what an All Nighter drink is without having to look it up?), which made it a bit confusing to order. There are some interesting food options, and the menu is on the limited side which assures me that each item will likely be or a higher quality. The prices make sense for the portion sizes as well. I think the coffee is better than the food--the All Nighter was very interesting, as the coffee flavor was pretty strongly fruity compared to what I am used to with Vietnamese lattes (this item was described as the cafe's take of one). I would love to try some of their other flavored lattes, which they profess are made with house-made syrups. The ube waffle was okay--it isn't better than anything I could make at home with a storebought waffle mix, and is not served with any condiments or toppings. I am curious about their other food options but am thus far not particularly awed. I like that they are pretty coffee-forward and that their drinks are not overly sweetened, and I would recommend it. I plan to come back to try their other offerings.

Stopped by the Strait Coffee Roasters booth at the farmers market today. Austin, the roaster, is…read morevery friendly and approachable. He specializes in light-roast, single-origin (often rare) beans. He mainly sells bags of coffee but also serves excellent pour-overs--clean cups with fruit-forward notes. The bean selection was fantastic, spanning what he categorizes as Traditional, Rare, and Exceptional varieties. I picked up a bag of Colombia CGLE -- Las Margaritas Gesha Honey (Rare) and had a single-cup pour-over. Delicious, perfectly roasted coffee with tropical fruit flavors and no bitterness or off‑flavors. I'll definitely be back!

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!

The staff is kind, friendly, and welcoming -- Anya is sweet and attentive, Galina is very responsible and caring, the girl with the gorgeous curly hair is always warm and kind, and Alejandro is always friendly, welcoming, and brings great energy to the place.

The food is always fresh and delicious. My favorites are the salmon toast, shakshuka, syrniki, draniki, buckwheat with poached egg and parmesan, and the Basque cheesecake -- all amazing. And the Dirty Dragon is so good too! I'm always happy to come back.

The communication with the staff felt confusing and unprofessional. At first, I was directly told that they do not speak Russian, so I immediately switched to English. But shortly after, I clearly heard the same staff speaking Russian among themselves. On top of that, I also noticed them speaking Russian with other guests, while I was told they "don't speak Russian" when interacting with me. This was very confusing and honestly felt strange and selective. This kind of inconsistency creates a very uncomfortable impression and feels disrespectful as a customer. I also know many people who no longer come to this café because of the rude and unwelcoming attitude of the staff. Unfortunately, I now feel the same. I will not be returning. The food is excellent, but the service completely ruins the overall experience.
