15 Best Coffee Shops in Milpitas

“Ume Tea is hands down one of my favorite spots! The drinks are always fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced—not too sweet, just right. You can really tell they use high-quality ingredients. The menu has a great variety, so there’s always something new to try, and everything I’ve had so far has been amazing.

The staff are super friendly and efficient, even when it’s busy, and the atmosphere is clean and welcoming. It’s the kind of place you keep coming back to, whether you’re craving a classic milk tea or something more unique.

Highly recommend if you’re looking for top-tier boba and great service ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Our new happy spot. I have fallen for the Pink Panther. Highly recommended.“

“Solid donut shop, their filled donut holes are always a hit at gatherings! They have several options, and we usually get a mixed box for taking into the office on occasion.

The donuts have always tasted fresh and not overly greasy.“

“I love the fact that all of the drink is not super sweet - fall in love with the pistachio matcha 💙. Plus the store is designed very pretty with lots of flowers. Great place overall!. I just wish its closer to me 🥲. TOTAL RECOMMENDED 👍“

“The most unique gas station stop! A cute list Viet cafe, with pretty well sized banh MIs that taste great, and delicious coffee and tea options. There is also a small little bakery option? Plenty of seating, and a cute IG photo op backdrop.“

“Experiencing the finer things In life , Life’s reward“

“So happy to see another coffee place in the GM! The staff are very friendly, and most of the drinks I've tried are great. My favorites are the Fall Oat Boy and Frosted Animal Cracker Frappe. My mom got the Salted Caramel Cold Brew once and we both agreed it was kind of ehhh, but different strokes for different folks, right? Only downside is that it gets crazy crowded and obnoxious on weekends, but that's not the shop's fault. 😅 Just be aware that no one has any sense of personal space anymore...“

“​I love this Starbucks location on Great Mall Parkway! It’s fairly new, having only been open for a couple of years, and the service is already top-tier. The staff is consistently amazing and the management is fantastic!

Becca and her crew are always so helpful and positive. She never complains and always greets you with a genuine smile. It’s a great, well-managed spot and the vibes are always perfect!“

“Stopped by during a neighborhood walk because my nephew was craving donut holes. I saw that they had ube donuts and vanilla custard filled donut holes (my favorite) as well. We ordered 2 ube donuts, 4 custard filled donut holes, and a dozen glazed donut holes for only $9.40! Plus, to our delight, when we got home we realized that they threw in a couple extra donut holes so we got a total of 15! ?The ube donut had a nice slight crunch to the exterior and the inside was really moist and tasty. You could taste the ube!I put the custard donut hole in the microwave for 10 seconds and it was amazing, yum!Fresh, tasty donuts with great service and amazing prices!“

“Drinks! Smash Avacado is a must! Yummy!“

“Nice service and very friendly staff“

“I cannot recommend Caffino enough. I grew up near this stand and the new owners (2020ish) have done wonders to revive this stand. They repainted the stand and gave it a facelift and man it made a world of a difference. The coffee selection is immaculate and the pastries are delicious and always seem fresh. Not to mention the workers make you feel like family. They always welcome you with a warm smile, pay attention to your entire order, and never skip a beat. It is always my first stop when I come home to visit and will remain that way!!

Dietary restrictions: Lots of dairy alternatives

Kid-friendliness: Great kids menu“

“This is another location of the popular South Korean bakery chain Paris Baguette, known for its French-style pastries, cakes, and baked goods. I visited this Bay Area location on a weekend afternoon, and it was relatively slow at that time. As expected later in the day, a few items had already sold out, but there were still plenty of options available, including some newer menu items that caught my attention.

I ended up trying a pastel de nata along with a savory Korean-style meat pastry, and both were quite good. The pastries tasted fresh, and I enjoyed the savory option especially for something a little different.

I also ordered an iced mocha. The service overall was pretty slow, and the coffee took quite a while to arrive. I was told there was no added sugar in the drink, but when I received it, I found it surprisingly sweet — likely because of the chocolate sauce. For my personal taste, it was a bit too sugary.

The main area that could use improvement is the maintenance and service speed. The tables were not very clean, and although I understand it was toward the end of a busy day, I still expect cleaner seating areas and slightly faster service.

Overall, it’s still a decent spot if you enjoy Paris Baguette’s pastries and baked goods, but the customer experience at this location could definitely be improved.“

“Alex makes this place great.better then Stoneridge.“

“Everyone seems so nice and helpful that makes a difference, love anything Carmel 🥰👌☕️“
