The service is exceptional super fast and considerate. The food though is a little okay. The popcorn chicken has actual popcorn which sounds innovative but the combination just didn't work. The food was definitely in the smaller portions and the prices were definitely more expensive. Super great study place though.

Cute, modern, cozy. Coffee met expectations but nothing amazing. Went here to study on a Saturday- it was pretty empty and lots of space to sit. Parking was ample but had to pay for it in the hotel parking ramp.

Ditto. It's a great hotel coffee shop, but not exactly an artisan coffee shop.The coffee menu has the basic espresso drinks. Think latte, mocha, and the like. They have black coffee, with a lower case b. And they have some lemonades. My chai latte was decent.The pastries are good, from Manressa bread. Again, great quality and selection for a hotel lobby (and better than Starbucks), but still not quite there yet. Still, i loved my chocolate croissant.The burgers are great! I usually balk at the hotel burger price, but this one is really good. When adding the ambiance, it's not hard to justify the $18. No tip requires since you pick it up at the counter and bus your own table.In the lobby they have decent Wi-Fi, some good table seating with power outlets, and no one bothers you.

Amazing co-working space! This cafe is located in the lobby of Amswell Hotel and provides garage parking with 3 hrs free.There are many working spaces to suite your needs. The customer service at the cafe is also great! They provide a small food menu but full coffee/drink menu.

Sleek, artistic, luxurious and modern atmosphere to match The Ameswell. The hotels living art museum and aviation theme of the hotel continues through the Fly-by. They serve local products from the amazing Manresa Bakery which is truly a pleasure in its own experience. A well crafted and high-end coffee can always be found as this spot is open all day. Next to grabbing a wonderful up of coffee, they also offer light breakfast bites, high-end grab and go snacks from the pantry wall, beverages, juices and protein shakes. There is a nearby indoor fireplace where you can enjoy a quick chat over coffee or grab your breakfast, a book and stay for awhile.

Modern elegance combined with a cozy atmosphere, it is a great place to meet people or hashing out ideas!The cappuccino I ordered was expertly prepared, with a creamy foam and a rich, robust espresso base. What truly set it apart, however, was its temperature—served just right, it provided a satisfying warmth without being scalding.

Tried this for the first time for an early morning coffee and breakfast. Love the modern vibe and ambiance. It's fairly new and love the classiness and sophistication of the place. Very neat and clean with welcoming staff. Enjoyed my hazelnut latte and veggie omelet breakfast while I bury my face on my book. Enjoyed my time very much. Will return for sure!

As a HOTEL coffee shop, it's 5 Star. But as a coffee shop, it's just fine. If I was staying at the hotel I'd be ecstatic at how nice their coffee was, but as someone who saw the reviews only and drove to try it out, it is a very disappointing experience. La Colombe coffee and some pre-bought baked goods are totally satisfactory but not special or anything to write home about, and if I'd known it was just a hotel coffee shop (I should've read the reviews instead of just seeing the 4.5 stars!) I wouldn't have trekked out here to try it.

It's a cafe in a hotel lobby so I'm not expecting miracles. I've stayed at this hotels several times this year for work and every morning I pay for over-priced subpar coffee The large cappuccino (it's how they label it if you want 2 shots) cokes with a massive quantity of steamed milk. It's really a latte. But the part that gets me is that every barrista scalds the milk. It's not the worst cup of coffee I've had but it's also really really not worth it
New. Clean. Cozy place to meet large group(+10) of people.

I am always looking out for good places to host gathering with girlfriends and for Meetup groups. It's not easy to find a large space for a group of 10-15 people in coffee shops that has nice decor, a clean restroom, quiet without loud music, and are not busy on the weekend afternoon. I think cafes in the hotels might be a good choice around Silicon Valley. They offer 3 hours of free parking. They have a few areas that are semi-private for small groups.

Steak and egg bagel sandwich was pretty decent. It was tastier than I expected given that it's basically from a coffee cart. Downside is that for $12 I expect a better bagel. It tasted like a grocery store bagel--dry. I would hope that they'd at least spring for Costco bagels!! That said, it was tasty enough to have again. The scramble bowl was really good and a lot of food (4 strips of bacon!). The combo of arugula, tomato, and capers with the eggs, bacon and potatoes was an unexpected delight. I like how the flavors came together and the fresh veggies made the bowl feel a little lighter. Added plus, the potatoes in the bowl are the fries they use at the Roger, which are basically really thick cut chips. Delicious! And no way I can finish it.
