Academic Coffee

The drip coffee and iced latte boast smooth, aromatic, and well-balanced flavors.
The pastries, freshly made daily, are simply irresistible :)

staff is friendly and the cafe is cute with indoor and outdoor space for catching up with friends or studying. love their pandan latte! i’ve had their other flavored lattes and those are great too.

If you want a place to relax, work, and enjoy a solid brew or tea, look no further. This is the only coffee shop in San Jose where I can truly focus. The staff is extremely inviting and accommodating while serving delicious in-house baked delights and flavorful drinks.

Quaint little coffee shop with artisan small batch coffee. Super friendly staff! Amazing coffee and baked goods! Would highly recommend checking this place out!!

Awesome experience. The staff were warm and friendly. My latte was better than any of the chain coffee places out there (in my humble opinion). I usually like my lattes with breve (half and half) and sweetened with some kind of sweetener. Here at Academic Coffee, I elected to not have any sweetener. My latte was so rich and creamy that I felt that it didn't need sweetener. It's there if you choose to sweeten it though. It's not a beautiful location but it is clean and has in door and out door seating.

Reasonable prices, great selection of pastries. Nice outside seating area. Slightly long wait for coffee. Would recommend.

Amazing atmosphere, even better espresso. With every sip you're placed on a journey to the depths of flavor, so be sure to buckle in. Not only that, but their staff was wonderfully kind and helpful in explaining their particular specials to me and their individualized complexity.

The best coffee place where I'm welcome to bring my pet. I've been to this coffee shop several times, and each time the coffee was great and the cakes were tempting. It is enjoyable to be able to bring in the cat, who consistently draws a lot of attention from other patrons before sitting calmly under the table. All coffee enthusiasts should definitely visit this location!

Cute small coffee shop. I love the decor and atmosphere of Academic coffee. The menu is diverse yet simple, they have their own signature coffees/lattes such as the Pan latte which I would describe as tasting like the milk you have left over after eating cereal/cheerios. It is a unique flavor and I would def recommend trying it at least once! I wasn't too crazy about the seating, there was only outdoor seating with minimal shade and there was no indoor seating. The staff was super friendly and explained each coffee and their taste very thoroughly. Overall, I would def visit again if I am in the area.

Academic Coffee has a very friendly and welcoming environment. The cashier gives a friendly shout out when each persons order is ready.

With Covid, you lose a lot of the ambiance with having to order outside. They are limited in their pastries which was one of the reasons I came to this coffee shop. Their in house created syrups are one of their specialities.

When we arrived, there were a couple people in front of us,but while we waited, there were about ten people that ordered. We didn’t have to wait very long but the wait was worth it. The coffee isn’t too acidic while the milk provides a nice frothy texture.
