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!
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.
Delicious coffee! Weve been here thrice. We always love their coffee, its either hot or cold. We tried their Froccino and it was the best.
Long wait. Plastic fork. Did pleasant waiter.
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.
Ice latte with oat milk is a bit different from others in a good way
Local coffee shop for locals. Comfortable accessible location. Great selection of coffee and treats.
Here for the 2and time today lol... 1st time here this morning and have to bring the Fam here. We had camaleta, strawberry crepes, and a Mexican mocha. Very good
First time here. Got an Iced Vanilla Latte tasted good.
The place was also very cleaned and organized. I am very much happy with your service. Keep up the excellent service! Very highly recommended in the region!
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.
Nice to sit outside on a sunny day and enjoy some crepes.
Nice little neighborhood coffee house, coffee and food, togo only now, and you can order in advance and pick it up to do outside.
Great place for coffee and pastry.
Great place to enjoy a fresh cup of Coffee.
Staff in this place is awesome
Had a panini sandwich and it was delicous as well as a lemon muffin - so good. Coffee was hot and fresh.What a nice place - ate at tables in the parking lot - its covid time.
The coffee is great, the baked goods are yummy, they have good outdoor seating, and best of all, the staff is excellent. Please support this very fine “Mom and Pop” coffee shop.
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.
Good coffee
Had a coffee here with my aunt. Great coffee and plenty of seating outside.
Really good
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.
Beautiful...relaxing...service was great😊
Fantastic local independent coffee shop brewing strong, but flavorful coffee. Good selection of quick and made to order breakfasts and sandwiches. Comfortable seating options, couches, tables and bar, as well as outdoor seating. Dogs welcomed.
Very nice and unexpected cafe. Its comfortable and very European style with good coffee and choice of sandwiches and other snacks and lunch options.
Love Blvd Cafe! The employees are so nice and the environment is cozy. Great place to study or to hang with friends. Amazing drinks ( personal favorite is the iced caramel macchieato) and the crepes are so delicious. Highly recommend going there. You wont regret it.
The coffee is good, the food is excellent for a coffee shop, and the people are really mellow. Nice addition to the area.I had a regular latte with the special bagel. Which came with cream cheese, avocado cucumber and a lemon drizzle. It was delicious!Overall this coffee shop is awesome.
Excellent coffee and friendly service. The atmosphere is pleasant and there is plenty of seating. Had the breakfast platter which was delicious.
I love this coffee shop. I go here after my run. Today I got the Mexican Mocha. It’s so good. I also order their Giovanni Crepe when I’m hungry. This is my second time ordering this Crepe. It never disappoints!
The best latte in the city and remarkablecustomer service.Food prepares with high standardsSimply excellent place to invite my friends and family
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.
A great local coffee shop. So much better than Starbucks. They also serve interesting breakfasts and lunches. Friendly staff, good coffee, reasonable prices.
Just discovered Blvd Coffee last year and it’s definitely my favorite place for breakfast!! Crepes are made to order and coffee drinks are excellent! The people working there are so friendly—it’s a great vibe and always welcoming
Surprised to see such a nice cafe. There is a lot of seating and the coffee is pretty good too. If it werent so far from my place I would come here often to read and drink. Too bad its too far!! :( For those who live by here, come here often, for me!
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!
Exceptionally friendly and professional staff. Great atmosphere. Didnt try the coffee, but my green iced tea was very good. Had the Paganini Panini and it was terrific. Would definitely come back and try again.
Great coffee and atmosphere. Friendly staff too. I understand they are expanding into the next unit, so should offer more seating for guests!
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!
Not my regular haunt, but busy, friendly place with reasonable selection of food.
Nice place to work and/or chat with friends. They have many comfy couches. They used to have stools but they removed it when they expanded.
Great coffee, great service. Veggie sandwich was simple but good. No complaints so far, I will be coming back here.Plenty of parking, lots of indoor and some outdoor seating, fans, mediocre wifi (~4mbps), view of Santa Cruz Mountains.
This coffee shop is awesome. Staff are amazingly friendly. Service is quick. Space is nice to relax. Our fav go to place!!!
Im quickly falling in love with this place. Sad they dont have Donuts, but the baked goods here are excellent. Coffee is also very good.
Great to have a neighborhood coffee shop doing well. Service, food and coffee are all really good. Try Humbertos blend if your a regular coffee drinker, its awesome!
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.
Service is excellent, wine is excellent, food is excellent.
Love this spot. Great epresso drinks and wonderful servers. Just love the vibe.
Fresh baked goods, sandwiches, salads. A local gem for sure!
Easy access good coffee. All pastries are freshly made on site. A little nosie in the am. Frendly staff. You do buss your own tables. Well i have been there several times now and the last 3 times they CANNOT get my sandwich correct. Seems like a new staff. Do not notice it until it.is half.eaten. i guess i will need to. Check on front of them .
Breakfast omelette plate was great!Coffee is normally good but sometimes gets cold if sitting for a while
Very good place to sit down and study. The owner is very kind gentleman. I should come here more often to study.
Good coffee and food. Rude service. No internet.
Best managed coffee store in San Jose. Great customer service.
Great place to meet friends and enjoy coffee and a snack.
Nicely appointed place with good seating, lots of light, fine customer service, very good coffee and food. I, personally, would like to see a few more pastries.
Great place for coffee, sit in the sunny outdoor area. Good lunches too.
Pretty top notch quality coffee overall! I really like the decor.
Great coffee place that also sells good bites to eat with your coffee
Crepes at a coffee shop!
Great coffee! Comfortable settings for working. Good selection of sandwiches, crepes and breakfast items make for an all day spot.
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.
He made me some delicious cappuccino.
Continuously our favorite local coffee stop in the area. Great coffee and the Strawberry Nutella Crepe is our go-to treat.
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.
Only here once, had a latte, it was good and it was a great place to hang out. Couches and comfortable chairs throughout!
The staff here is great! Hugo has been especially helpful in choosing drinks! The Cubano is a must try! Please visit this Almaden treasure and keep it going!Oh ya! Very delicious coffee and the sandwiches are fantastic!
Good coffee and delish crepes
Our favorite coffee place. We love the staff and the coffee is fantastic. Shift manager (maybe owner) always jokes with my kiddo that he ordered a triple espresso.
Love that almaden has a local shop with great coffee at the meridian plaza-thingy. Definitely coming here whenever Im back in the AV!
My new favorite Cafe in Almaden! Great drinks, great food and great customer service!
Coffee was good, food was good. However food took forever to make and the coffee never came. I had to ask them where the coffee was, apparently they forgot to make it :-(
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.
Love the atmosphere in this coffee shop. Makes you feel so at home...
Great coffee and service. Cubano is the best thing on the coffee menu
Excellent coffee shop just like its sibling on Los Gatos Blvd. wonderful selection of coffees, plentiful cozy places to sit and chat, read, or work while enjoying this wide selection of food and drink.
Cool place, college and high school kid studying a lot . Nice mellow vibe
Friendly staffs, great selection of fresh coffee and espresso drinks, nice place for breakfast and lunch sandwiches too. Glad to see a high quality place like this opened in the Almaden valley.
Great prices for what they have, calm enviroment too.
My fav. local coffee shop to go relax, work and enjoy the view while I sip on my fav. Drink, Mexican mocha.
Great service! Good prices! Wonderful atmosphere!
Super nice staff, really tasty coffee in a very cute coffee shop.
Ive only had the white chocolate mocha but it was fantastic, I personally would rather get coffee here than Starbucks
Likes:- Spacious- Good customer service- Variety of drink and food selection- Good Wifi connection- QuietDislikes:- None
Great place to go with the family on weekend mornings. Clean, pleasant and, easy place to grab a bite to eat.
Good neiboughood coffee shop, one of best americanos I ever had!
Great atmosphere, friendly service, classic neighborhood coffee shop
Friendly local coffee shop with sweet and savory crepes, bagels and other food items.
They are back! Out doors in the parking lot.
