I know this is just a staff issue but it was a but intriguing when both baristas exchanged looks before asking me what i meant by the phrase “single origin coffee.” After picking up a bag of their chiapas, mexico beans and explaining that this constituted single origin, they only could do a pour over, not expresso… it looks like they have a bakery there that possible is more active when covid isn’t ramping up again.I dunno. I was hoping it would be a 3rd wave coffee place but was less then impressed on that front. And they closed at 4:00 pm! Our visit was cut short…

Fun, welcoming place. Love the outdoor seating area gives it a real neighborhood feeling.Coffee is above average, food is better than what you would expect. Sandwiches, pastries good coffee shop faire.If you want to visit a shop filled with lots of happy people enjoying each other. This is the spot!

Wow!! How did I miss this awesome place for 5 years? Super friendly staff at pickup, delicious bagels and such innovative ideas like the super bagel 😄😋

Zero stars at best, I went to this place to have a great breakfast but it went terrible when ordering. I tried telling the cashier that I would like a fruit bowl and unfortunately, she couldn’t understand me but instead of asking to write it down or point to the menu she asked her colleague do you understand what she’s saying then they both started laughing.I felt humiliated as a customer and discouraged from ever coming back. What if I was deaf and couldn’t speak then what are they just going to laugh in your face and not help you?

25 minute wait for a cold brew, sassy attitude and told me to cancel order when I asked why it was taking so long.

I had my first ice blended mocha today. It was not only my first time here, but it was the best coffee Ive had in years! The lady who helped me today was super friendly and so was everyone else. I highly recommend visiting. The restaurant was immaculate and they practiced safety protocols. I will definitely be returning soon, even though I dont live anywhere near this place.

The staff should be taught how to communicate they’re closing.One girl just came outside screamed “I’d like to leave on time and go home as well” then ran inside. I had no idea she was talking to everyone outside.Then a guy pops his head out five minutes later screaming “We’re closed!” and ran inside.Both were condescending and rather rude.. several of us outside though the staff was unprofessional.

Nice interior, welcoming like a friends’ family room. It’s just the offerings were underwhelming. Ordered a honey lemon crepe and there was absolutely no lemon flavor to it. Honey was all but light even on its own merit. Disappointing when a knockout lemon item on any menu is a must. The Mexican Mocha on the other hand was much more appreciable.

Love this place but my favorite location is the one in Los Gatos. But this is just as wonderful and convenient to go to meet my friends. They make my breakfast sandwiches just the way I like it and my cappuccino is perfect. Frequent this place now every week and alternate between both locations.

Review №26

This is the kind of coffee shop Ive been looking for in Almaden for so long!The place is spacious and flooded with natural light from the floor-to-ceiling windows, and there is plenty of comfortable seating and tables to sit. The coffee is quite good; I got a mocha, sat down for a relaxing read with my steaming mug and left very much satisfied. I cannot speak for the food, as I have only come to get coffee.The atmosphere is friendly and relaxed. There is also plenty of parking in the lot outside. An excellent place to chill in the morning with a good coffee when youre sick of the mediocre drinks and lack of seating at some of the other places. Highly recommended!

This is not your regular coffee shop. Its much more than that. Its where you go with your friends to get some really good coffee, pastries and crepes, set breakfasts and sit down to have a great conversation. The people who work here are extremely friendly and name you feel comfortable. Go here to relax and enjoy the vibe.

This is a great local coffee shop. They just expanded too. I love to come here so I can support small business owners and try their unique take on signature drinks. I personally like the cop car for a sweet drink. Its a great place to read, study, or get some work done. The decor is very inviting and the staff are attentive.

PROS: the multitude of seats, couches, and windows provide a great ambience for getting a cup of coffee or for studying. Speaking of coffee, their Cubano is amazing, for which I love to get here as often as possible.CONS: their water is tap water and has a very metallic taste, their lattes are meh (pretty bland and milky), and their food is 3-stars at best. Only a few seats will have outlets, and a lot of times due to the glass walls and lack of shades, the sun will be in your face at certain hours of the day. WORST OF ALL, they have a plumbing problem that fills the entire store with the smell of FARTS. It is so disgusting and pervasive that the majority of folks will cover their noses or gag. Really kills the ambience.

The staff here is always friendly and willing to make your order just right. They have really yummy original homemade pastries, tons of breakfast selections and great coffee! There are many great spots to sit and work and free Wi-Fi if you need it. My favorite is Humberto’s blend drip coffee and the breakfast plate. Give it a try!

One of few local cafes in Almaden Valley! The drip coffees are very good and, although pricey, so are the espresso drinks. The food is decent and I like the decor. The only real negative is that there are not enough power outlets!

Nice place to have a cup of coffee and chill. BUT my wife ordered strawberry and banana creeps, they brought strawberry only. After I asked why, just told me that they forgot... and cut one banana on small plate.I mean how can you forget to add banana to strawberry and BANANA creeps?

I like the atmosphere but they need to learn how to do lattes. they leave the espresso out too long while they do the milk. Espresso turns bitter immediately if you dont pour it into the milk right away. So I wont be coming back because 3 times they got it wrong.

I can always gauge how good a tea place is by their Oolong milk tea. They passed the test although the pudding could of been firmer in my opinion.

Good coffee. The breakfast was ok-ish. I received one scrambled egg for 4$. I guess if you are not going to get their ready-made breakfast sandwiches, then its not really worth it, as they dont seem to have what they need to make a proper breakfast.

Ordered a cop car and cinnamon twist coffee and a panini. Both coffees were cold when we got them and the panini was just a soggy warm sandwich because it hasnt been toasted enough. It also took about 15 min just to get the one sandwich and there were only about 10 customers in the whole place. Overall not a great experience and I doubt Ill be back.
