10 Best Coffee Shops in San Carlos

“I was very glad when the cafeteria opened, as I don’t like chain coffee shop and now I can just buy good coffee from local shop instead of 15 mins driving to Blue bottle. I always go with latte, and it is okay ish - it is definitely better than chain coffee but in my mind not up to other boutique cafes like blue bottle/verve, and not even to latte I made at home sometimes (and I don’t have an expensive Lamarzoco machine). Also as others pointed out, it is too milky with large cups. But the price is the same as the other boutique cafes! I was surprised when I first noticed the price: close to $8 for a grande latte? Anyways, still happy that we have a nice local coffee shop, but please keep the price reasonable for locals to support happily.“

“Good breakfast and coffee“

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

“Lots of bright, natural lighting. Big open space with lots of seating with access to power outlets. Clean. Three individual all-gender bathrooms. Friendly staff. Drinks come out perfect every time. Good place to work. Some people take personal and work calls though, so I recommend bringing noise canceling headphones if that bothers you.“

“Visiting with friends. Had a great tome. I“

“Customized my bagels, which was the good thing about this. Place is small and like a mom and pop kind of bagel place. Someone takes your order and delivers it to you while you wait. The place is tight and 1-2 tables outside and a little bench inside. Bagels were good though after customizing it to how I want! Instead of everything bagel I think they called it all in one. Still good and filling. Had to get latte elsewhere but worth it for a quick pick me up.“

“I’ve had coffee at many different Starbucks locations, but the barista here really puts care into making each drink. My coffee was perfect — both in taste and presentation! ☕✨
The only downside is the limited seating area compared to other Starbucks stores. Still, the calm atmosphere and attention to detail more than make up for it.
I was able to work comfortably on my laptop and truly enjoyed my time here. Definitely coming back! 💻💚“

“This location’s very nice, friendly, and clean! I ordered a couple of drinks and Sylvia was so helpful and thoughtful of making sure my drinks were all correct, if I needed anything, and giving me recommendations on foods and drinks!

“Uri and Bliss were amazing. It was an unexpected celebration, and I didn’t have a pre-order for the cake. Luckily, there was a beautiful cake ready to go, and thanks to Uri and Bliss, I was still able to get it customized on the spot. Amazing customer service—thank you both for making it possible!“
