The cashier was great but the barista didn’t say hi thank you or anything like we didn’t exist. It was our first time there we are big on first experience.. I definitely won’t come back.. there coffee wasn’t great as well it’s mid..

Not a lot of seating but it’s a cute little corner shop that it’s nice to visit! Grabbed their mango matcha latte and it was spot on. Very fruity and flavorful and refreshing like a helpful worker mentioned. They also offer pastries and croissants of different flavors like pistachio, ham & cheese, butter, chocolate. Would need to come back to try one.Parking is street parking or garage parking two blocks down from the shop.

Tried the Pandan Latte & Piloncillo Cinamon Latte and Curry potato brurek & Pistachio berry croissant. The croissant is best out all 4. The lattes & Potato bourek are ok, I would give a 3 out 5.

From rich and robust espressos to creamy lattes and flavorful pour-overs, their expertly crafted drinks are sure to impress. The knowledgeable baristas are always ready to offer recommendations and share their passion for coffee.

Exceptional crew here today just after lunch. Very professional and friendly team and a really clean shop. Delicious vanilla green tea matcha made with love, cause the barista said so.Parking: n/a
Wonderfully nice, comfy coffee shop. I especially love it when hash n dash is out there on the weekends sometimes to get a full breakfast in the morning.

Top tier coffee fasho ?They offer single origin for their espresso and they also have pastries from Neighbor Bakehouse! I ordered a flat white and the piloncillo latte, both of which were very good and properly made. My only knock on the flat white was that it was a little foamy and it was ridiculously hot! For the pastries, we got the everything croissant and pistachio berry croissant, both of which we’d highly recommend! I’ll be back for sure, this is definitely one of the best coffee shops in the South Bay.
Coffee here is always great! They have more unique flavors here, so it's fun to get something other than your standard espresso beverages. And the pastries are great!Nice vibes and you can sit outside.

I love Academic Coffee and been visiting for years. I hope this review finds the right person because I’m not sure what happened to their quality and service.I’ve always enjoyed their coffee, when I lived in the area it was my everyday and posted on IG all the time and constantly told friends/ fam to visit them. Now that I live a little away I don’t visit as often, more like once every 3-4 months. So, this is the second time in 6 months when I have been unhappy with the drink that I have ordered. This time though when I went back and mentioned to the person at the cash register that the drink seems to be only milk and I don’t get any vanilla notes and barely taste the espresso, she kinda shrugged it away. I did notice that my drink was ready almost immediately post payment, which I didn’t think much of initially. In my experience espresso drinks take a little more than a few seconds.Note: Also, the minimum tip amount starts around 20% but display shows in $ (I calculated based on total bill amount). This time it was undeserving in my opinion.I hope Academic improves their service and look at how the drinks are being made. I’m willing to go back another time, just coz I’ve always loved this place and want to believe that it was a bad day. Hope I can post a more positive review next time.
