The drinks are really good. I loved coming here when they first opened and used to recommend it to all my friends. They also have a decent amount of seating inside with a modern cozy feel. However, as they became more popular and busy, the drink consistency started to decline. Although it's still more hits than misses, I'd only come here now if I happen to wake up early and can beat the rush.

I especially like the matcha, vanilla, and brown sugar lattes.

If I could give this place 20 stars I would. Superb coffee, the coolest nicest staff ever, lovely vibes, always good background music & a wonderful quote on the wall every time you visit. It’s insanely packed on the weekends and there’s often a long line. They also do catering services/pop-ups in offices and companies if needed.

Love the coffee here. I had the cappuccino and it was strong and flavorful just the way I prefer. They also have a variety of flavored coffee options.

Kaizen coffee has two of the most important things when it comes to a coffee shop!

1.) The coffee is REALLY good!
2.) The shop is an experience when it comes to aesthetics!

It’s rare to see both!

My wife also LOVED the Avacado toast and egg!

Picture down below is the Okinawa Brown sugar iced coffees!

I had three different iced coffees, and would buy all three again!

Coffee ratings:

1.) Mission Mocha was my favorite!
2.) I’m at a straight tie with the Miso Caramel (which packs a punch), and the Okinawa Brown sugar!

Incredible coffee house. Line out the door when we got there but only had to wait a little over 10 minutes to get to our order.
I had the miso caramel latte and the server asked for my sweetness level and milk type, which really meant they care about quality in their product. My wife got the be cold brew and my son had the PB&J banana toast which were great. Their pastry offerings were also top notch with the everything croissant including a cream cheese filling. Will make it back here when I visit the Bay Area.

Great place for those that want to experience coffee. They have the usual, but offer a lot of their own recipes and a variety of hand picked coffees from various sources. I tried their latte and the vanilla bean latte and both were very good. I will normally drink a latte without any sweetener, but the vanilla bean version makes the latte sweet and transforms it into a different drink, not just a sweet latte. Subtle, but good. First time here, but now will be back to try their other coffee offerings.
Note that the line was long, but the staff was working to get the coffee out! So, the wait was not bad at all.

First thing I do when I travel to a new city is look for coffee shops and what a find this place was! Worth the money I spent on my Uber and more. Their cortado was sublime, it was rich and creamy and the espresso in it was delicious. Even their ham and cheese pastry was surprisingly tasty!! Check them out if you are around that part of town
