11 Best Coffee Shops in Cupertino

“Friday open mic is great way to end a hectic week.“

“Matcha lovers rejoice! For those of you who are obsessed with matcha and looking for something new to try, Izumi Matcha is the newest matcha shop on the block!

Izumi Matcha strives to bring the highest quality authentic Japanese matcha to America, providing patrons with not only matcha drinks and desserts for purchase, but also a variety of matcha good available in-store. I would go out on a limb and guess that majority of those visiting Izumi Matcha are wanting to sample their drinks or taiyaki treats, so keep in mind the lines can be quite long. Ordering is all done in-store on a self-serve kiosk and then you wait for your matcha treat to be ready and retrieve it when your number is called. Naturally, the store is busier on the weekend, but I've noticed that the 5-6pm window might be a sweet spot where the line does die down a bit (don't quote me on this as I've only been there twice).

Now onto what we tried! We ordered their matcha yuzu tea and the honey hojicha latte. The matcha yuzu pairing was a match made in heaven as the tart yuzu perfectly balances the earthy matcha for a smooth, yet refreshing drink. For those of you who want some extra matcha oomph you can also add a free extra matcha shot to your drinks! The hojicha on the other hand was a delicious not-too-sweet cup of roasted goodness. With the honey and dairy providing a smooth accompaniment for the deep roasted notes of the hojicha. I could go on and on about how good the drinks here, but honestly you should try it for yourself to really understand why so many people are flocking to Izumi Matcha. I only tried the drinks when I've been, but the taiyaki and soft serves are also extremely popular, so those will have to be on my list to try in the future!

If you're looking for the next best matcha place to try out in the Bay Area, the I highly recommend giving Izumi Matcha a try (as long as you can bear the long lines and wait, it'll be well worth it)!“

“avocado toast and latte with oat milk ... the coffee is great!“

“I love this Philz location because there are a ton of food options around it. The wifi is always solid and the baristas are very friendly.

I also like the floor to ceiling windows/doors that are open during the spring and summer 👏🥰

The only thing I wish is that Philz overall would bring back gluten free options. A woman can dream.“

“This beautifully crafted coffee shop is part of the Apple Park Visitor Center. It serves Italian coffee along with a selection of sandwiches and sweets. While the coffee and food are fairly standard, the atmosphere makes it a standout. It’s a great spot to relax and catch up with family or friends in a sleek, modern setting.“

“Philz is always great and friendly. Unlike other coffee shops in the area, plenty of large tables for working are available. Many have outlets. The music is always great and I regularly Shazam songs playing on the speakers. The back (street facing) patio has a nice set of tables if you like to work outside.“

“Standard boba place. Their red bean ice was pretty good but a bit overpriced. Two drinks came out to $17, par for the course these day, and one of them was just a basic mango green tea.

Good location and has outdoor seating for people watching.“

“Good Service Good Yummies👍☝️🙏🏻“

“Total Score: 6.725

Ambiance: 4.75/5
Can’t hate on the color pink ? but it’s so quaint and tiny

Food: 3.25/5
Pretty good mango sago flavor wise. Lowkey not sure why there are some crunchy ice bits inside it. Might have melted but not sure.

Wow: -1/1
Why’d it take forever to get this drink. So long that my drink melted???

Total Score = 3.5*AM + 6*FOOD + 0.5*WOW“

“I love my coffee ☕️ an mi iced coffee“

“Very good for a Starbucks inside a store (Safeway, Walmart, Target, bookstores, etc.) I wouldn't compare it to a standalone Starbucks.I love the secluded sitting space after they remodeled away from the shopping hustle and bustle and it even has its own exit.The workers are nice and I saw today they had some holiday discounts on the coffee beans and cups that were better (steeper) than some other Starbucks with similar holiday deals.“
