Qargo Coffee - San Jose

Stopped by this former Starbucks location, and it’s changed for the better. Bright, modern, clean, with an upscale feel. Such a treat, and hats off to the interior designer.

Tried the almond milk latte and it was excellent. Service, also excellent.

Seating is spacious and I could see myself getting some good work done here. But I prefer to relax and sip a latte.

Only knock, street parking can be challenging at times and menu board does not match the elegance of the decor.

Highly recommended, and will return when in the area.

Nice little coffee shop, conveniently located across from my apartment! 😄 Good selection of hot and cold brews, as well as flavored energy drinks. Pastries and hot food options as well. Plenty of seating indoors & outdoors. Free wifi for guests.

New place in the hood! Nice place to escape your desk at home for a change. Good atmosphere, quite for an evening tea or work. Coffee, pasties and options for breakfast (but not lunch sandwiches yet). Wish them success.

First visit as it was close by, and I had a pretty good cappuccino. They provide free wifi and a workspace too. Other exciting items on the menu, check it out.

It’s great to have a place like this at North Park, to get a coffee and enjoy sunny weather sitting outside.

Quality-wise, it’s average. I wouldn’t come here if I was searching for a great coffee or desert.

I can get a better coffee from automatic coffee machine. This place opened recently so hopefully coffee quality improves and there is at least a simple variety of pastries.

Without question the worst blended beverage I've ever received. It was gross syrup with large chunks of ice and truly not blended at all (apparently they only taste good when the parts are combined properly). The interior of the place feels sterile and like they tried to make it look modern, but were a little cheap about it, so it really didn't end up having the desired effect. I've never missed a starbucks so much in my whole life.

Beautiful cafe with a classy European vibe. They have excellent pastries and awesome Lavazza coffee.

They use Lavazza coffee which has strong coffee taste for my iced latte. I like it!
It was previous Starbucks location.

Second time I’m here and Coffee is simply not good - the taste is stale and it lacks the flavor that fresh coffee should have. Also please train staff how to make macchiato - they have no idea how to make it and were very confused - or remove it from the menu completely - why have it if you don’t know how to do it?! overall I expected more from the store that sells Lavazza coffee, I even wonder if they use some other beans for their espresso?
