Mmmf, mmmf. Orange cardamom and Valrhona chocolate chip cookies. Oh, and coffee.
Stopped by with my wife on 10/1 around 8:15 AM. Good drinks, and the cashier was friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, the service at the espresso bar was disappointing. The person making the drinks seemed more focused on texting on her phone while the person assisting her was doing most of the work. We ended up waiting longer than expected despite there not being much of a crowd.

Great coffee and a really nice atmosphere. The service was friendly, and everything felt fresh and well prepared. A great local spot for a quick coffee break!

Academic Coffee is a cozy and inviting spot on the corner of Second Street and East Williams. The interior offers a calming atmosphere with a clean and aesthetically pleasing design. The coffee shop takes pride in its own beans, serving a range of delicious drinks like the popular Rose Garden drip coffee, matcha lattes, and the standout melon matcha. The friendly and efficient staff make it easy for customers to grab a drink and go or linger over a longer chat. With a small but cozy seating area, both indoors and outdoors, Academic Coffee is a hidden gem worth seeking out. Its commitment to high-quality beans and expertly crafted drinks, including the honey matcha latte with matcha cold foam and the creamy hojicha, keep customers coming back. Customers praise the ambiance, service, and the quality of the coffee, particularly the banana cream matcha and the pandan latte, which are described as the best in the Bay Area. The cafe is pretty small, and there isn't much seating inside. The banana hojicha is delicious and the banana cream top is what really makes the drink special. The guava matcha lives up to the hype, with the jam mixed into the matcha for an amazing consistency and a yummy cream top that isn't too sweet. The banana matcha latte is so good with a perfect ratio of foam that lasts the whole drink. The drinks are amazing, but be prepared to wait.
