I reviewed the spot before, but I have to update it for one of their seasonal pastries…read more There's plenty of seating indoors and out, the service is always efficient and often friendly, and the coffee selections I've had are always on point. I'd give their drip, Ube latte, all pour overs a 5/5. It was a late afternoon so I went for a latte decided to treat myself to a pastry since I had inadvertently skipped lunch. I enjoy their gluten-free pistachio cake, but buy chocolate cookie looked enticing. Dubai chocolates are really saturating the market these days and if I'm being honest, some of the versions just aren't any good. However, knowing that the baked goods here are a great quality and based upon the look of itself I decided to give it a try. Wow! This was a perfect balance of chocolate and pistachio, made with real ingredients. The cookie had both taste a slight crunch and a moistness in the interior. For those who like to dip their cookies, dipping this into the Ube latte was definitely next level.

I much preferred the overnight oats which actually tastes like PB&J when I mixed it up. Cute cafe and the people working here were super nice. It was crowded and it took a bit to find a table, as this seems like a popular place to just get a drink and sit with your laptop for while. Fun place to try but I am not sure if I would necessarily seek it out. They have some interesting sounding drinks but if they are anything like the Lexington, the fun flavors might not really pull through. Pastries look yummy though and overnight oats were good.

Started my morning like any true MATCHAFOO with a stop at Voyager Craft Coffee for my matcha fix…read more Had a little hiccup at first I accidentally ordered to the Cupertino location instead of Santa Clara but the staff here handled it perfectly. They were super friendly and accommodating, caught the mistake, and quickly remade our order without hesitation. That kind of service really stands out. The vibes inside are on point clean, laid back, and just a great place to ease into the day. Now, the real reason we're here... the matcha. Easy 5/5. I went with extra matcha and extra strawberry purée, and it was the perfect combo great flavor and nice, thick consistency. Honestly, the best matcha I've had at any Voyager location so far. My girlfriend grabbed a coffee and loved it, and the croissants were warm and delicious too. Safe to say this spot is officially in the morning rotation before work.

There was one lady working what appears to be both sides so I gave her grace to come get my order. She acknowledged me as soon as I walked in so I was okay waiting.

It was around 12:45 pm on Thursday to get a quick drink and some baked goods. The place was pretty empty and it took the cashier to find our drink orders on their register.

The beignets are yum and the Asiago bagel was reasonably priced at $4 with cream cheese! I'd come back but just a little slow where we had to wait for our order with no one here.

Very eclectic in the best way! I'm very particular with music and have an inside joke with my wife about hijacking the Bluetooth at certain places to play some "actual music" but damn. Find myself removing my headphones to listen to what they have playing. Sometimes I feel like I'm inside an NPR segment. Lol The coffee and tea have been consistently tasty. Great espresso, tasty tea options, and no one rushes you out. just gentle background life happening around you. Another shoutout to the staff. Literally EVERYONE has been amazing and they're always in such great moods. In return, all the customers are super friendly too. Love it :)

The baristas seem poorly trained, and they don't have a solid process anymore. They've expanded their space, but that just makes the wait and confusion worse. I recently was in their new space and ordered two simple cold brews--no modifications. Where they used to pour it straight from the tap, now they treat it like a latte--and everything takes forever. If you want to linger in their aesthetic (albeit chilly) space, maybe that's fine. But if you just want takeaway coffee, be prepared to invest 20-30 minutes. It's no longer the quick, quality stop it once was.

The overall atmosphere at the mall was very chaotic and crowded as one could imagine. I ordered the adzuki sundae with black sesame ice cream.

I started by the back near the signage and got to order within 10 minutes. There's a bright menu to view right next to the cashier with popular items marked. That was helpful because it was overwhelming with the number of choices. I ended up ordering the popular Black Sesame Latte and both Banana Lattes to try. The drinks came out within a few minutes. Not too long of a wait. The drinks were standard flavors but good. I don't think it's worth standing in the usual long lines, but still good.

My go-tos are: - A A Ron Latte, iced - The white chocolate, hazelnut, and cinnamon flavors blend together perfectly but you can still distinctly taste all three along with the espresso. It also doesn't have any weird aftertastes from the white chocolate or hazelnut syrup, which is an issue I've run into at other coffee places. - London Fog, iced with raspberry cold foam - It's surprisingly hard to find a coffee place that does London Fogs well, especially iced, but this is definitely one of them. The earl grey tea is super strong, and it's complemented by a good amount of vanilla syrup. Also, no weird aftertaste from the vanilla or raspberry. - Mr. Sunshine sandwich, replace the bacon with avocado - This is simple, healthy, and delicious, plus it comes with a little mandarin. I especially love the 9-grain bread that they use because it reminds me of the brown bread from Cheesecake Factory. While I could make something like this at home, I don't always have the time, energy, or ingredients on hand, so I love that I can still get a healthy lunch with my daily caffeine. Looking forward to trying the rest of the menu and hopefully dining in one day!

Bagels have been one of my favorite foods since I was a kid, but lately I haven't had a taste for them. This morning I thought a bagel sandwich sounded good, but unfortunately I couldn't eat it. It was my issue, not a problem with the food. The apple hand pie was scrumptious. I liked that it wasn't overly sweet. The iced hot chocolate wasn't great, but that was because I ordered it with half sweetness and it needed more. I'm saving the banana bread for later, but I have a feeling it will be good warmed up.

There's a kiosk to order now with a majority of items missing pictures and descriptions. Still, the staff seem busier than ever, my lavender latte took about 15 minutes and it was hard to find open seating. I think the quality has gotten a little worse here, my latte was very sweet even with less sugar requested, and they seemed to just dump espresso on top of milk and callel my name in a hurry. They also seem to sell beauty products now, which is a little strange. The whole experience across the board felt unpolished, not sure if I'd come back here next time unless I'm in the area.

It was super convenient if you're out walking your dogs like we were. I'm usually a fan of their Pandan, but I think I have a new favorite. The banana cream and Guava cream paired with matcha is a total game changer. You can tell they aren't using cheap ingredients; the matcha is high quality and the cream is actually thick and rich (hopefully its from real fruits haha) which makes such a difference for a latte. It's definitely on the pricier side( about $9 per drink if you want to substitute with other milk), but for the quality and the vibes, it's 100% worth it. Service was fast and great! Plenty seating indoor and outdoor but parking spaces were limited.

(They were right... the parking lot does suck!) If you're lucky enough to come at a quieter time and are able to snag a spot, I definitely think it'd be worth the visit! I ordered the guava matcha. As someone who isn't necessarily the biggest fan of matcha, I actually thought the drink was solid. The matcha had a lot of depth and the guava flavor was STRONG. My drink came out only a few minutes after I ordered; they're super quick to make drinks here, which is appreciated! They have a few seats inside the cafe and some outdoor seating if you plan on staying and hanging out. It is quite expensive here though - my matcha ended up being closer to $10. Not sure if I'd go out of my way to come again given how busy it typically gets but was definitely worth a try!
