50 Best Coffee Shops near Emerald Hills

“I come to this place almost everyday, the staff is friendly and the coffee is good! Every Sunday, they make delicious breakfast burritos, tacos and pupusas until 11am. They are delicious! This Cafe is hands down one of my favorite local places to buy my snacks and coffee.“

“Iced matcha was not strong enough, so I will try hot matcha next time. Also iced strawberry matcha is nice. They made my order wrong at first (matcha instead of strawberry matcha) so they gave me the matcha for free—super kind, thanks!

Line is long but fast, and seating may not look available at first but it cleared up for me. Love the vibe and furniture.“

“We had such a great experience stopping at Brew today. We were looking for good coffee and my fiancé noticed the excellent ratings, so we decided to make a trip up from Palo Alto.

The young lady who took our order was incredibly friendly and we started out with some excellent coffees, one of which was a Vietnamese type we had never had before.

Then the (extremely kind) owner brought out our croissant and bagel sandwiches. We both thought they were the best we had ever had....absolutely delicious! See the pics!

It was just a great stop. Kind people, great coffee, and excellent food....perfect! 😋😊“

“Sana’a Cafe – Redwood City

Loved it! The mocha latte was rich and smooth, and the Biscoff cheesecake was amazing. Cozy vibe and great service.

Thanks to Zaid and Tasneem for being so friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!“

“We love this place for breakfast. Great omelets, freshly made. Great assortment of bagels, fruit is fresh cut, too. Small assortment of baked good, but all the best ones: blueberry muffins, almond croissant, chocolate croissant, etc. Excellent coffee and staff is wonderful!“

“Jen and Heliosare are truly outstanding—always warm, friendly, and efficient. They go out of their way to make every visit feel welcoming and easy. Their positive attitude really stands out and makes a difference. Starbucks is lucky to have them!“

“so many unique drinks—i want to come back and try them all!

i got an iced chai and the b.a.t.t. sandwich which was actually so good i would totally recommend.

decor is so fun! lots of teal and of course, geese.“

“I attended a Chemex Kenz coffee tasting and love their Hambala. Their love and passion for coffee translates in the quality of their beans. I’m glad I can also enjoy their brew at Sue’s Cafe in Downtown Saratoga.“

“Fantastic community based organization at a beautiful. Welcoming site!“

“was an amazing vibes lovely crew coffee was so good!“

“Nice staff. Great menu and lovely outside patio for dining“

“I tend to forget to take pictures sometimes. But by far, my favorite bagel spot in the bay. Warm toasty bagels. Delicious sandwiches. Always great customer service. You want a nice thicccccck bagel sandwich you go to docs. The rolled hotdogs and hotlinks are delicious, too!“

“Excellent Turkish coffee, they had some delicious Chai tea as well. The selection of lattes are incredible. A must experience for those who want extraordinary Coffeee and Tea experiences.“

“She is wonderful to work with. I have used her twice now. Once for a Mickey Mouse Twoodles cake and just recently for a baby shower. We got lemon for the cake and snickerdoodle for the cupcakes and when I tell you everyone loved them both. Her cakes are delicious and she does and amazing job with decorating them you send her a picture of what you want and she will not disappoint.“

“Love the layout and ambience. The coffee was great. With @mike and @gordon“

“Best coffee I’ve ever had!“

“Great tea, and great English tea and sandwiches. Best tea blends I’ve encountered outside China and amazing nibbles especially the chocolate chip cookies All my tea I brew at home comes from here highly recommended“

“The bacon scallion scones are delicious!“

“Good food and good hot chocolate“

“I’m surprised Millbrae doesn’t have many handcrafted coffee shops aside from the big corporate chains and boba tea spots, so I’m really glad one finally opened here. Their coffee has a great aroma and a well-balanced flavor. I especially enjoyed their specialty espresso drinks — the Bumble Bee (orange juice with an espresso shot) was refreshing and unique, and the Havana Cappuccino was equally impressive. Definitely a welcome addition to the neighborhood.“

“My sister and I visited this shop for the first time! Marcos helped us narrow down what would best suit our palette.

We got the horchata and dulce de leche latte, both of which were phenomenal. The horchata had a great blend of sweetness and cinnamon, and didn’t feel watery compared to other shops.

The dulce de leche had a strong and consistent caramel flavor throughout the drink.

In addition, Marcos was incredibly kind and personable throughout our experience. Highly recommend and excited to try their other flavors next time! Thank you 💛“

“Found this gem while strolling through the neighborhood. The staff here are incredibly welcoming, they even surprised me with a complimentary Canelé, which honestly stole the show! It had that signature hard, crackly shell and an airy, tender interior that was perfectly balanced in sweetness. Pair it with a latte, and you’re set. I also gave their Hojicha Latte a go; while the milk was steamed beautifully, the tea flavor felt a little light. A bit more punch from the Hojicha would make it a 10/10. Still, a wonderful spot with great energy and top-tier pastries.“

“Best coffee !!!!!!!!!!!!!“

“Good breakfast and coffee“

“My favorite place. I grew up in Palo Alto and Peet’s was the local high end coffee to grind and serve via French press. Philz pour over coffee is sublime, hot, comforting and the staff are always wonderful. While many folks order online, I prefer to do so in person and usually have a short wait to receive my coffee. ☕️“

“Very good place for morning coffee“

“We walked here from our hotel and we’re so glad we did! The coffee is amazing - high quality, made with care, unique - and the food is phenomenal. We ordered the frittata breakfast sandwich and added prosciutto. You HAVE to try it - adding the prosciutto is worth it I’m telling you!! It’s even better than it looks in the picture. We wish we had Equator Coffee back home!“

“I'm a first timer definitely will be back“

“First time here and definitely will not be the last! So impressed by the wonderful service from Colby and their goodies are made locally small batch! Couldn’t resist but get the raspberry pistachio croissant! Plenty of spacious seating here and lots of natural light that comes in.“

“Best coffee in the Bay Area according to me.“

“Our Millbrae downtown has many coffee shops, and I don't drink coffee. But if I have to, Peet's coffee is my choice.
This coffee shop offers very friendly service, and we love its location, next to an oversized parking lot.
We parked our car, had a coffee, and then walked to the farmer's market for our weekly produce and bread.
Their coffee is very fresh and delicious. Highly recommended.“

“Best coffee in San Carlos... by a considerable distance.“

“During our last time in the Bay Area, one of our favourite coffee joint was Philz Coffee. Every single cup would be freshly grounded and brewed right in front of you. Also, there’s a signature of Philz Coffee known as Iced Mint Mojito where you’ll be amazed by the combination of mint, sweetness and creaminess that complements their freshly grounded and brewed coffee so well.

It was still just as good as we remembered!

This time, we had the

– Pork sausage and egg Breakfast Burrito ($7)
– Mint Mojito Iced Coffee ($7.1), Large Iced Creamy Sweet
– Twice Baked Almond Croissant Toasted ($5.25)
– Iced Honey Haze ($7.1), Large Iced Creamy Sweet, to-go

We also like the terms “sweet” for how you’d like the sweetness that ranged from light, medium to sweet and “creamy” for how much milk you’d like from light medium to creamy”. Together, “sweet and creamy” not only indicates the sweetness and milkiness of your coffee but also as a familiar way of ordering drinks from Philz Coffee...

“Stopped by Little Late Bird on a weekday at 11am. It's a comfortable cafe serving Korean staples. The Ube Latte was like tropical Hawaii in a cup with coconut hints. The vegetable Japchae had perfectly chewy noodles and just enough sauce and veggies. The Bulgogi sandwich was amazing: toasted roll, perfectly cooked beef, lettuce, tomato, and spicy pickled jalapeños for contrast. Everything was filling but not heavy. They're also open on weekends 9am-4pm, so it's officially entering our brunch rotation!“

“Fiero Cafe is a great spot for a casual but satisfying meal. The pasta here is authentic and delicious — the bolognese especially stands out, rich and full of flavor. Portions are just right, and you can tell the ingredients are fresh. They also serve omelets, which make a nice lighter option if you’re not in the mood for pasta. Overall, a cozy place with tasty, well-made dishes that feel genuinely Italian.“

“I love the love sign in the Golden latte! #Nice!“

“Sweetness for Match latte is perfect. Love it.“

“샌프란에가면 마셔봐야하는 민트모히또아이스커피“

“Zoom Caffe, highly recommend! 5 � coffee and great eats!“

“Full disclosure: I am a shameless coffee snob. This shop boasts charming atmosphere, wonderful pastries, and most importantly, CONSISTENTLY delicious coffee. I have now had 3 lattes and a flat white here from 3 different batistas. The coffee has been perfectly balanced each time. Kudos to the manager for exemplary puck prep training 😊“

“The owners are awesome and I'd definitely come back again! :D“

“Great food an Service. Friendly staff and generous portions.“

“Being from out of town I hadn’t heard oh Philz. I stopped by to hang out with some coffee for a little while before a meeting. I was surprised by their comprehensive coffee list and landed on a delicious blend to sip on. Service was fast and friendly. There were a dozen or so customers working away on their laptops with plenty of table space to spare. If this place existed near me I wouldn’t go to another cafe for coffee!“

“location, coffee and sandwiches“

“right next to Draeger's and parking available“

“They're doing a good job, being small local stores - a nice diversion from Starbucks junk. I'm a latte guy and find their coffee to my taste (well, maybe not as good as I make myself 🤔). The pastry selection is fresh, not shipped in plastic wrappers them warmed like SB. And the place is pleasant and open with sitting inside and out.“

“Leonardo’s is OPEN for business, phone orders and pick up. Uber Eats option available this Friday March 20th. Please keep them in mind during this time, with everyone home from school and work enjoy a great deli sandwich, homemade soup or fine salads.“
