Chromatic Coffee Co.

I have been going to Chromatic Coffee for a while now, at this location as well as another they had before the pandemic. They are very serious and dedicated about their coffee, I personally love their DCM (dark chocolate mocha). It has a very fun ambience being located in an old converted warehouse, which definitely gives it an old style urban rustic feel. I love many coffee shops in San Jose but I always come back to this one, having nostalgia for the place.

Stopped at chromatic on the way to Monterey. I love finding local small roasters to visit when traveling. I loved the location. Fun cool spot. Coffee was good and simple variety. I loved that they had their own syrups. Coffee beans are a little pricey for what you get. But other than that it's a great place to visit. Staff was really nice.

Great coffee and a nice environment. We tried latte and dark coconut mocha, which were both delicious! Will definitely come back. It would be possible to order online, skip the line and just pick up your order. They sell packs of coffee beans with different flavors such as berries, peach, plum, chocolate fudge, etc. I suggest trying their delicious pies, too.

A great local coffee shop that roasts their own beans. Unfortunately 6/8ths of their massive space is cornered off for roasting and warehouse needs. I’ve seen other places roast using less than half that space by streamlining their set up (look to Compass Coffee in DC for an example). What I could see over the barrier hinted at inefficient design. All the tables and chairs for customers are in the hallways that are shared by other businesses - which is unfortunately not heated/cooled, while their shop space is. As much as I like their coffee, I probably won’t be returning here given that set up. It’s clear they are prioritizing their roasting space over serving drinks to enjoy outside of the home. Maybe this place would have more seating and a better atmosphere in the summer.

That said, if you are looking for a craft coffee to go, or locally roasted beans to take home, come here. Otherwise pick a different shop.

I came here after 3-4 years looking for the creme brûlée coffee that I had back then and they no longer had it. Bummer! Because I wanted my sister to try it. They did have a dulce de leche which was a good substitute but there was no thrill of cracking the glazed top like of the crème brûlée. I got the hot version. It was sweet. I also got a chai tea with whole milk. They don't have reduced fat but they had almond and I believe oat milk as alternatives. The chai was very flavorful and sweet and I loved it. Nice loft/warehouse looking venue, not really a place to sit and drink.

Try their Dolce de Leche latte. It's pretty good. (It was little sweet).
Coffee is quite acidic tho.
There's no indoor seats, but there are outdoor seats available. Cool interiors.

Best cup of coffee with that artful special touch. Customer service was number one and an extremely cool vibe. Just wish there were more options for seating. This is a must stop shop!

This coffee shop has a very friendly staff. We drove around for 5 min to find a good parking spot since it gets very busy on the weekends! The decoration is charming, and I think they have partnerships with local artists to change part of it from time to time. The coffee was delicious!

A sleek industrial setting in Midtown San Jose, CHROMATIC COFFEE serves an extraordinarily wide variety of creative and innovative coffee blends.

Hands down my favorite coffee ever. So these folks pay super attention to detail and adjust the brewing process to meet the weather conditions of each day. The coffee is mind blowing and very consistent. The staff is super friendly, service is quick, and the location is convenient. Special treats are always available such as pastries or peanut brittle from Snapdragon, or Local Willow Glen honey. A++++++
