50 Best Coffee Shops near Foster City

“Simply the best coffee! And teas. Great bites. Quick healthy meals. Service is friendly. Quality people and product. Consistent. It’s a favorite for a reason!! Check it out. (If you haven’t already!!)“

“Disclaimer, I'm not a milk tea snob. I love trying out the variety of drinks that Quickly provides, as well as the variety of snacks and meals. I only get to visit this one when I'm visiting a friend, cuz the ones around my neighborhood unfortunately got closed down due to bad people. No other milk tea cafe I know of is a one stop shop like Quickly is in my opinion (e.g. has milk tea, flavored milks, bubble waffles of more than two flavors, popcorn chicken, etc), and I don't think any of it is poor quality imo as long as you've set your expectations correctly (like it's not a tea house).“

“This branch has the best service/ staff. After 12 hr of no power in our home, I asked for large/party size hot water. They handed me without asking or charging me on the Christmas day! I was willing to pay but they were understanding. Thank you for being amazing humans 🙏🏻“

“Sara’s cookies are amazing!!! Yum Yum Yum“

“I was having a bad day and decided to stop over for something nice to improve the mood. Barista Jared was there for me. Asked few questions and listened to what I wanted. Smiled and somehow my day became better even before I tasted coffee. It is very nice to see baristas which do their jobs, including communication with sincerity and skill - very cutesy, very demure. Will come again.“

“Love the daily iced coffee ! The regular coffee is good too !“

“If you’re trying their signature Miso Caramel Latte, may I recommend going with the iced latte option? While the hot latte is still good, the umami-ness of miso and the contrast of the flavors is much more pronounced in the iced latte version.“

“I've been wanting to go to this place for a while now. Everytime I search for a place with best coffee near my work, this always pops up. I finally had the pleasure of going here, and it wasn't too busy.
The person who took my order was super nice and helpful in narrowing down items to try. Everything here is made to order, so they do recommend using the app. Especially if you are in a hurry.
I ordered:

1. Vietnamese coffee with salted cream: Surprisingly, this was a little sweet to me. I do recommend sipping it, instead of drinking it through a straw to get the full flavor.

2. Croffle w/ nutella: This was crispy and chewy. The nutella gave it a messy yumminess

3. Egg, cheese, and bacon croissant: This was delicious and surprisingly it didn't have that greasy oily feeling. It is very hearty.

4. Perfect green smoothie: My co-worker loved this and found it very delicious. Perfect balance of all the items.

I look forward to coming back soon and will pre-order next time.“

“the coffee's good, the people are even better!“

“Loved the ambiance! So many places to sit and enjoy the beautiful park like setting! Porches to sit and relax or work and indoor seating too. Grass area with casual seating, a swing off to the side and some lovely architectural details make it my new go to retreat for reading.“

“We had our grandmother's celebration of life. Staff was amazing. The restaurant is closed from 2:30 to 4:30 and we were able to rent out the entire restaurant during that time. The restaurant was large enough to accommodate all of our family and friends who came to celebrate my grandmother's celebration of life. The food was delicious and exquisite.“

“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.“

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

“I love Adeni Chai here. It’s a warm, friendly and family space to relax and play games. I often go for chai and study sessions. Servers are nice. It’s a good place to catch up with friends and there are multiple other restaurants in the area.“

“The bacon scallion scones are delicious!“

“Food is phenomenal. Had a loaded breakfast croissant and oh my goodness, it was huge!! Got halfway through it before we remembered to take a photo. The iced tree leches coffee is packed with flavor and a beautiful way to start the morning. The business is kind of tucked a way off the road a bit but easy to find. The lady that owns it is incredible.“

“Great food and super friendly staff. We tried avocado toast and mocha. Turned out that they messed up our mocha and gave us a latte. They were extremely busy on a long weekend so I didn’t bother to ask them to fix it. They would have definitely fixed my order but I was okay with a latte too!“

“I REALLY ENJOYED THE FOOD....IT WAS VERY DELICIOUS AND THE PRICES WERE EXCELLENT“

“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.“

“Joana is very attentive. She has one of the best personalities I’ve ever met and great at connecting with people.
Thank you, Joana, for being so knowledgeable and dedicated to your work. You made us feel like a priority and truly valued.“

“Groovy Goose has become our go-to coffee shop. We pick up coffee beans and lattes most weekends, and the quality is always excellent. The shop has a fun, hip vibe, the service is quick, and the staff is genuinely some of the friendliest around.

One thing that really stands out is how well they get to know their regulars. My wife stops by most weekdays, and when it’s not too busy, Alana often has her drink started before she even gets to the register. That kind of personal service is rare these days and says a lot about how much they care about their customers.

If you’re looking for great coffee, a welcoming atmosphere, and people who make you feel like part of the community, I can’t recommend Groovy Goose enough.“

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

“Favorite place: We always enjoy attending all the events at this wonderful cafe. It's a very cozy place to listen to great concerts or lectures. Thank you.“

“EXCELLENT and nothing short of that! If i could i would have LeVant’s kanafe everyday of my life!! It is unreal! Service is very very good, the delivery is always on time has perfect packing and presentation. Thank you LeVant for repeated excellent experiences.“

“Eating lunch here right now with the family on a weekend. The service is very friendly and speedy. The space is also very clean and open. The place is kind of tucked away in office buildings but there was still a good amount of people here on a weekend. The kids loved the pond area outside to run around and look at the ducks. The food is also very good. Lots of light and heartier options. We got masubis, loco moco and bibimbop bowls along with some drinks. We’ll definitely be back especially since the kids love it here.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Amazing neighborhood cafe. It's cozy, unassuming and well situated in a cute Plaza in midtown Palo Alto. The breakfast items are all delicious and well prepared, they roast their beans in house in a corner of the cafe and you may get lucky to be there while they do it, great aroma and a nice touch.

The place is run by a wonderful couple, they welcome their usual guests by name and treat the newcomers with much warmth and happiness. It is my happy place to go to go to start my day.“

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

“Wonderful cafe with nice ambiance. I always love their drinks, and their Korean food is excellent. Haven’t tried the Italian / American dishes yet but I’m sure they’re great too! Wait staff is always friendly and helpful.“

“Fritters are great for a treat“

“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.“

“I’m a huge fan of dirty chai lattes and I’m always searching for who has the best. The dirty chai at Antigua is definitely near the top of the list for me. Not too sweet and not too spicy which is the way I like them. Will def be back for the chai. Pastries were also delicious. Haven’t tried the food yet but looks like it would be amazing.“

“Sitting outside and watching the Bay Area in the distance, meeting friends for long conversations, reading, writing, drinking decaf espresso (!) and cuddling with my darling on the deck.“

“Delicious, friendly and 100% authentic! 🇲🇽🥖🥮“

“Great place. Long lines and worth it“

“Nice place and nice coffee“

“The coffee was good and so were their mochi cakes. My only complaint is that all the seatings were taken by people with laptops working and they look like they’ve been there all day. There was no space for regular patrons to just sit and enjoy their coffee. I’d probably wouldn’t come back for the atmosphere.“

“Best coffee !!!!!!!!!!!!!“

“Cafe Zoë is an incredible little community space that serves delicious beverages, food and entertainment. Kathleen, Zoë and the staff are truly amazing and provide great service. They are community minded and love how they support the arts as well.“

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

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

“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“

“Highly recommend Jason Cafe! Our family stayed in the neighborhood for a week and ate here four out of our seven days. The service is super fast but never feels impatient, orders always 100% correct, hot, and delicious! Hands down the best waffles I’ve ever had, but everything is good. Servers are amazing, efficient, and friendly. They were really nice to my child who has Tourette Syndrome, never made him feel weird. Also the place is super clean—nothing is sticky or needs to be wiped down—they keep it immaculate.“

“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.“

“They are on Too Good to Go, and I won a bag. I got a duck salad and pastries. I looked at the salad and I was not sure about tiny pieces of bright tomatoes with fatty slices of dark duck meat, feta and chunks of dried figs and I can’t remember all the ingredients but I ate it with Spanish olive oil and organic balsamic vinegar. It was good. I think the tiny triangle cuts out of the edges of tomato slices were well-thought-out because they were bright and flavorful over the earthy cheese, meat and figs. The duck was more of a charcuterie taste. I thought the fat would be wet, but it was dried or smoked or something. It had a flavor similar to a charcuterie chorizo without the spices. The pastry was a cinnamon spiral executed in the French style of layered extra-thin pastry dough. Crispiest crunch outside and chewiest on the inside.“

“Super good restaurants with healthy and tasty thai food. They do accommodate allergies and dietary restrictions. They could make Jain food for me and also adhere to it strictly even when I order from Doordash and call and let them know about my allergies and Jain religious dietary restrictions. The front desk person is so friendly and helpful.“

“location, coffee and sandwiches“

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