Academic Coffee

Good place to have breakfast and coffee at downtown San Jose. Pastry is good too. Parking around on street is relatively easy to find. Overall great experience.

Been coming here since college days. I love it. It’s such a cute shop. The coffee is amazing, I can’t go without my ice pandan latte. The baristas are really friendly. Will always be my go to shop.

Coffee and people really good here and every time I order my coffee the way I like it they drop the ball. Is shots direct into my cup too much to ask and never get?

This is our local coffee shop in downtown San Jose. My favorite is the pandan cold brew! They also sell a variety of pastries as well and I usually just get a plain glazed donut which is so soft and fluffy. On some weekends, they partner with a food cart that sells breakfast sandwiches which are also really tasty!

Compared to other Cafes in the area, Academic’s latte quality is way lower. There was no art of the latte and no consistency. The milk foam disappeared into liquid after a minute.
The place do not have a coffee shop vibe, it could have been decorated way better. There is an outdoor space but no seating is provided.
In general, this coffee shop is rated way below my expectations.

Coffee was delicious, but service was mediocre. This place only accepts card, google pay or apple pay. NO CASH. The baristas didn't close the lids well on our coffees and caused it to spill all over my chest, double check your lids if you bought at this place. Cafe is small but cute.

Its always good to get things from where they love what they are doing great experience highly recommend for coffee lovers beside the butter croissant was so frish

I used to live right across from them. They open & close pretty quick. Lack of variety, expensive pricing, but good quantity. They run out of pastries quick. The interior is neat & exquisite with plants. Neat & clean store with good customer service. But nothing really special to write about the items. Dine in is not possible.

Really good drip coffee. Medium roasted and well made. Decent sidewalk seating area with trees and shade. Barista wasn't friendly unfortunately.

Cortado was excellent, smooth and intense. My heart was going boom boom after and I was happy. Needs more seating inside, the space is not efficiently set up!
