First time visiting. I ordered a latte, and despite no queue and two staff working, it took far too long. Very disappointed with the service.

Always great coffee and a nice atmosphere to study or to catch up with friends. Rarely a line

I had them grind coffee beans. I asked for medium grind. I opened the bag a couple of weeks later only to find the barista gave me espresso/fine grind. This is the second time this has happened! How hard is it know the different types of grind? It’s not rocket science, folks!

One of the best espressos I’ve had in San Mateo.
Alex, the barista, did an incredible job. I’ve traveled to 41 countries, and the best espresso I ever had was in Cape Town. Today, Blue Bottle came remarkably close to recreating that feeling the closest I’ve experienced in the last two decades.

The servers were rude, refusing our request to warm the bread citing that the microwaves were closed for the day. Do not recommend for this location for their service.

This was my first time trying these coffee and it was amazing. It’s a cozy coffee shop. Usually busy and their service is good. I got a caffe mocha latte and it was fresh and soothing. Their coffee is definitely unique and the dark chocolate ganache combo elevated my coffee experience. Overall must try.

It’s a aesthetically simple and nice coffee shop in San Mateo downtown. I went early morning for breakfast Ambience- calm and soothing. Nice spacious space .. being in the downtime it’s quite lively and vibrant . Service - The staff is nice. Service is good. The staff helped me with the menu and understanding coffees and their flavours. Coffee - was nice ..they tried to make it to my taste. Washrooms available Wheelchair accessible
The espresso was burnt and bitter - either they didn't dial in the beans correctly or the barista doesn't know how to pull a shot. Considering they make you pay $6.25 for a 6 oz cup of coffee it's kind of ridiculous that the coffee is bad. Their serveware is also old and has wear and tear on it from use. This place does not match its price tag.

Coffee, pound cake, and seating were all enjoyable, though it’s worth noting there are no outlets available in the shop, which makes it less convenient for working or studying. Overall, the experience was good. The server seemed a bit busy and slightly impatient, but it was understandable given the crowd, and the service was still efficient.
I ordered a hot matcha latte and a pistachio pound cake. The matcha latte had a nice balance — not too sweet, with a smooth finish — and the pound cake was flavorful and comforting. It tasted even better after I asked them to reheat it, which brought out the nuttiness and made it softer. The atmosphere was cozy, though it could feel a little crowded during peak hours.
A solid spot if you’re looking to enjoy quality coffee and a good pastry in a relaxed environment, but perhaps not the best place if you need to work for long periods.

Great cafe that you’ll enjoy the visit. You’re not just paying for the drink, it’s about the totality of it.

Not a great experience. The cashier was very rude. Also I specifically asked for decaf and oat milk for my mocha as I am sensitive to caffeine. But neither of those was honored in my order. For a premium coffee chain with premium prices the least they can do is prepare the right order

Quality coffee. My go-to spot for coffee beans...
