    Venture Coffee is truly a hidden gem. I came across it because of its high rating on Too Good To Go. While picking up a TGTG bag yesterday, I ordered a matcha latte as well. 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.

    *3.7* I love exploring new cafes around San Jose and Venture Coffee piqued our interest! They seem to be an extension of the Venture Christian Church and pretty new. We came a bit before noon and it was super chill. So many seats and tables for anyone to come relax or do work/study. To be honest, their drinks were lackluster. We ordered the chai latte and vanilla latte and both were quite bland.

    Popped into my favorite cafe while running errands to grab a drink & TGTG bag. * Tried their holiday Mulled Hojicha - pure holiday spirit in a cup. Sweet, spiced, & the roasted tea still comes through! * Staff is always kind, attentive, & meticulously thorough in preparing drinks (thank you, Calvin!) Banner outside shows they may be planning a nice expansion. Looking forward to seeing their expanded space!

    I finally found the time to come check this place I out and I'm so glad I did! Super nice staff, plenty of parking and the area is so relaxing. Plenty of space and for a change really comfortable sits so you can actively work for a couple of hours comfortably. Note their opening hours as they're owned by the church next door. I haven't tried the food but it looked really good!

    Venture coffee is in the venture church complex but it's a coffee shop available to everyone! Lots of room for working including indoor and outdoor seating space, I'll definitely be coming here more often, in the mornings since they close early. I ordered an iced oat latte here which was amazing and came with big ice cubes which didn't water down the drink and an Ube croissant that was bright purple on the inside but tbh tasted like a coconut topped cream cheese croissant in my opinion - still good though! Can't wait to come by again to try more of their seasonal stuff.

    I just had to write a review for my new favorite coffee and zen space in one. ;) Venture is my local church and I am so happy to support them in a new way with my coffee addiction. ;) This coffee spot is in located in front of the church for anyone that hasn't been to Venture. The interior is beautiful with plants and a very clean, modern vibe with comfy chairs. My kids attended Adventure Camp this week and as a treat they gave the parents a free coffee Tuesday and Wednesday. (Yay)! I had a vanilla cold brew with oat milk because it was such a hot day and the flavor was amazing. I also treated myself to an ube croissant and it turned out being the ube croissant of my dreams. I almost fear writing this review because I don't want them to sell out the next time I visit, but I feel like I have to spread the food love on Yelp. Hopefully they will just order more if they start to sell out. ;) The baristas were super friendly and made all of the drinks so efficiently. My husband and I returned on Friday so I could put the coffeehouse to the real test since he is the true coffee connoisseur ;) (he has a coffee bean sourcing app). Lol He ordered a cortado and said it was really good. We will of course be back to praise Jesus, and good coffee. ;)

    I had such a wonderful experience at Venture Coffee. The atmosphere is welcoming and peaceful--it feels like more than just a place to get coffee; it's a space where community and kindness are at the center. The staff are incredibly friendly and genuine, always making you feel cared for. The coffee is excellent (better than many big-name cafés!), and the pastries/snacks are fresh and delicious. What makes this spot extra special is knowing that your purchase supports the church's mission and outreach. It's the kind of place you want to come back to, not only for the great drinks but also for the uplifting spirit it brings. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area--whether to study, chat with friends, or simply enjoy a moment of peace with a good cup of coffee. I recommend trying Hojicha Latte, cold :D

    Lattes at a church.... Yes please! Neighbor Bakehouse from SF baked treats - Ube Croissant was recommended and yum Saint Frank local coffee beans from SF also. Nice and new modern design with ample seating to hang out, and super friendly staff - Calvin, Kim, Ruthanne and Coty greeted us today. I spied Dandelion Chocolate - will need to try next time!

There's a waiting couch/sofa inside as a queue before being asked to come to the counter to order and receive a table number. Everything was organized. DINE After ordering, we sat at the four-top table that was turned around. It was located in the covered patio area outside, which is really spacious compared to the limited main dining area. There are also tables at the front of the restaurant. Kudos for making good use of their space! FOOD & DRINKS They have a proper coffee bar, so I was excited to order a drink. The menu is fun, with seasonal drinks displayed. The coffee beans are fresh and tasty. They make fresh almond milk in house, which I subbed for my iced vanilla latte. - Iced Vanilla Latte with Almond Milk - Iced Matcha - Iced Vienna Latte The food we ordered was tasty and presented well: - Breakfast Burrito Birria - Breakfast Sandwich: bacon, eggs, and cheese - Protein Bowl: cottage cheese, avocado, and scrambled eggs I ordered the protein bowl, and it was delicious. There was some sort of salsa dressing over the eggs, but I wish they had provided more on the side. It was tasty, but for patrons wanting a more saucy morning, there should be an option for that. I did grab a Yellow Bird sriracha, and it was a perfect complement to the eggs. Overall, very cute and cozy space. The food is fresh and tasty. The coffee and other drinks are well prepared and delicious. A good fast-casual brunch spot to visit. I'll be back to try more items from the menu!

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!

When I asked why the tables weren't being cleaned, I was given a sour look, as if it were my responsibility. The cakes taste old and stale. I genuinely don't understand why the owner allows her staff to treat customers this way simply because of the language they speak. Personal opinions or biases have no place in customer service.

    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.

She said it was a tad bitter, but I think that's just because the place she normally goes to puts simple syrup in it?

It was pretty good. Ambience is really nice and my daughter even agreed it's one of the nicer settings. However, getting seating is very challenging and parking, I'll be honest, is a nightmare. They don't let you park in most of the residence areas either. (Although I should mention they do have their own lot, it's just very popular :-) With higher prices on everything, including coffee, this is my go to.
