Be sure to check the board to the left of the cash register for barista specials. They're often better then what's on the normal menu. If you don't feel like coffee, the coconut chai is great.
Kevin PrattSeptember 4, 2014The cold brew is an espresso roast from Verve called Sermon. It delivers a strong mouth with a moderately deep and course body. The sting is mostly gone from cold brewing, but still earthy/bitter.- Vivian LiJuly 16, 2017Come for the Churro Churro Latte, which is on the list of barista specials. Stay for the spacious outdoor patio, board games, and check out the working vintage coke vending machine.
- Fallon BlaserFebruary 28, 2015I go here bc its nostalgic and a nice place to sit and read. The coffees good if you like a lot of sugar and flavors and milk. They serve verve but its just your avg local coffee shop!
- Stephen ChisaJanuary 17, 2015The only coffee shop I've been to with a banana based latte. Try the "Banana's foster".
Tobias SchmidtMarch 27, 2018Cafe in a former gas station. Super comfortable, great for working. Their drip coffee, alas, is only so-so.
Dale SwansonMay 13, 2011Really awesome place. Nice people and good food and drink. Really enjoyed the iced Oregon chi tea! Only thing I wish is that they had a choice of sizes because I would have gotten a bigger one :)
Steve MaslankaDecember 19, 2015I go here as a stop on an afternoon walk out of the office, the drip coffee is great and the atmosphere is light and pleasant.
PatrickMarch 31, 2016Morning Glory bread was awesome, and the soy latte was pretty good. There's also a bunch of cool old school stuff inside.
Jinnie LFebruary 8, 2015really great coffee place in San Jose! fast n friendly service♡ their classic americano is really great!!- Kevin PrattMarch 18, 2014The house coffee featured is roasted by Verve. The Buena Vista roast has a smokey aroma and the full bodied flavor of this dark roast is balanced by a sweet yet mellow coconut grace tone.
- Ray RayJune 4, 2017Big glasses of cold brew, quiet most of the time, best staff you could ask for. Go right meow.
Lora ElliottOctober 26, 2015The atmosphere is awesome - so pretty and lively with plenty of outdoors seating. The people and coffee are good, too.
Andrew MeyerMay 23, 2010Even if you don't like coffee this is still an amazing place. Smoothies, pastries and other great food abounds. A great place to go when I need to work or just hang out and enjoy the atmosphere.
Benjamin HernandezNovember 26, 2012Definitely a spot for older people (30-ish). Do not get iced drinks (pretty bad)—hot coffee and tea are this place's specialty. Great patio area!
Service is always fast. Don't let a long line fool you! Also- the Ham & Swiss Buns are the perfect combination with your coffee. Get one early before they're gone!
Matthew ToppingAugust 18, 2011Best place for coffee in San Jose. Great family too, plus they Take good care of us SJFD who need good coffee after a long night.
Tara SwansonJuly 12, 2011Nice baristas..atmosphere & drinks/food is great! Get a roy's card so you can earn free drinks if you frequent the place!!
Nice to have the J Town coffee shop open for outdoor coffee.
Rodney BryantApril 6, 2012Great place to do some work. Just remember to bring change for the parking meters.
Almond Americano is to die for.. Extra room.. A little cream..
They don’t play around with the spice 🌶 in their iced spiced mocha. Yum!
Their new dessert offering, Do S'more (gourmet s'mores) are delicious and a must-try!
Not only do they have awesome drinks, but a great selection of food and treats from local bay area businesses as well.
Iced coffee is the best and their pastries are yummy.
John MartinezSeptember 21, 2014Having coffee with my wife ready to go to Japantown farmers market ....fun fun our morning walk
The new hoodies they have for sale are superb. A must have for the holidays

Staff said they no longer do the 5th15th25th checkin for free pastry. Although they honored this promo reluctantly in the end they should probably just take it off than givn customer a hard time
kaleb askewApril 17, 2012Get the Ham & Cheese Croissant. Tastes best heated up, but it's good either way.
Awesome local coffee shop and a cornerstone of the community.
Took 15 minutes to make a soy Masala Chai Latte that's rather incompetent.... and Im a regular... stay away from flighty baristas!
