Coffeebar

Incredibly welcoming staff with great coffee! The espresso-based drinks are offered in more sizes than traditionally made. This cafe was built on the old Young’s stationary and then Young’s Ice-cream building and they’ve kept the stained glass to a nice effect. They open earlier than nearly every cafe in Redwood City with decent coffee and close later as well. The matcha latte is my favorite drink here!
One area of improvement that really separates some cafes apart is the drip coffee : I’ve been told that only medium/dark roasts are offered here.

Coffee is good but wasn’t outstanding. The physical space is nicely done (open/modern). The food is terrible; see pics of the “breakfast panini” gross like rubber.

Their coffee is good, but after visiting a few times, a trend I've noticed is that the staff makes me feel unwelcomed. While I'm taking a quick moment to decide what I want, I get the impression that my indecisiveness is annoying and there's no help (the barista stepped away to tidy the pastries). While I'm waiting for my drink, especially if I'm at an outside table or far from the pickup counter, I can't hear my name being called. When I go up and check, the baristas again seem to be annoyed at me checking to see if my drink is ready. This review unfortunately makes me sound like a boomer (lol), but I've worked as a barista for many years throughout college and grad school, and these baristas act so inhospitably and are nearly a 180-degree difference of the type of kind and welcoming barista I always strived to be. I guess I can overlook it though, for the good coffee.

Good mocha and great Ambience. Outdoor seating was pleasant with tree shade on a sunny day. The mocha tasted good as well. They have an interesing sliding door for restroom. The place is well maintained and has friendly staff.

I love the outdoor seating. The presentation is also very aesthetically appealing. Great place to relax and enjoy some coffee.

Excellent coffee in a pretty cool building.

Was so happy to discover this place with great cappuccino , matcha and avocado toast, but lately the coffee isn’t as good as before especially Americano !! Very watery!!
Sign of old coffee beans or not well trained barista ??

Usually, I experience warm and friendly customer service. Recently, I came in for the regular latte and decided on a raspberry (gluten-free) pastry. It was the last pastry and the young lady at the register was very impatient and quite rude. Sure knocked the pastry off into the display case and said, oops!
The latte was delicious, as expected, but the customer service at the register was less than desirable.

Great coffee shop with Wi-Fi. Can sit outside under a nice tree when the weather is nice. Which is most of the year in Redwood City!

Drinks were excellent. Food was very good. Service was nice. Space is very large and welcoming. Great place to work on a laptop as the tables are all nice sizes. Some outdoor seating too. Great hours (they open at 6 AM for early risers like me). Only downside is that the prices are too high.
