Best coffee in Mountain View and among the best on the West Coast. Friendly service and contemporary, cheerful atmosphere.

As a patron of Theatreworks for many years who has also brought multiple school groups to the theatre to see matinees, I was kind of shocked when my husband and I were kicked out of this cafe when we sat down temporarily to wait for the theatre doors to open. It was about a half hour to curtain, the cafe was not overbusy, and it provides the concession service for the show we were seeing. We were clearly there to see the show, which means we could have made a snack purchase as we have so many times. We may have been about to. Yet we were told to leave, as if we were unruly teens or being profiled as thieves. I wonder what it will be like the next time I stop by for a water or one of the many varieties of mentos or a glass of wine before a show? Will the guy who kicked me out for no reason just like take my money the way he has four million times before? Or will he remember that I dared to reorganize my purse on an unused counter of his "for customers only" establishment that he's running steps from the venue I paid over a hundred dollars to enter and ban me from preordering my intermission refreshments? Was he just having a bad day? Or does he lack basic customer service? In any case, it was an interesting experience and one I wonder if I will repeat.

It's my first time trying this local small cafe but it was a very bad experience. The staff was rude and awkward taking my order even though I'm the only customer in the cafe. The croissant is dry and sad and tasteless.I asked her for a cup of warm water and she gave me tap water straight from the tap. She had an attitude that made it feel like she had more important things to do and I as a customer was inconveniencing her. I asked her for a receipt and it seems that it even bothers her more despite none else being in the cafe.Overall, I think the cafe is in a good location but I won't recommend it to anyone or come back again.

It's nice

The smoothie tasted like candy thrown into milk, in a bad way. I expect a smoothie to have had some contact with real fruits and not be 100% artificial cheap flavored syrup.

This place is not good. Food sucks and the one guy running the place isn’t friendly or smiling/welcoming to customers

wanted to check this cafe out after visiting the sunnyvale location, but there wasn't anything i really loved about it. i got a chai and it was okay, but not as good as the one i had got at the other location. i came on a wednesday afternoon and it was empty when i got there, but people did come and go during the couple hours i was studying. there were tables and easily accessible outlets which was nice for studying!

Great oatmilk Latte! Small Mom and Pop place with great coffee/snacks and their mushroom empanada is awesome! Great seating outside

Small shop in the city center. Handmade coffee. Snacks, treats, lunch. Might do breakfast too, I'm not sure. Very personable service.

Great Pumpkin crumble and lemon tart, the sweetness pairs wonderfully with their latte. Looking forward to trying their other selections.Wonderfully peaceful cafe, and a good place to sit down to do some work or enjoy a book outside of the house.The manager here is very nice, wonderful service.
