This place is legit, b-legit would find this place to be of quality.i would personally put them above the Starbucks. They were surprisingly faster than expected too. I'd return in the future!
I was with my brother and his family shopping around the area and he was craving for some coffee. I have been to blue bottle before in both The Ferry Building and in Santana Row. This time, I decided to try their Iced Cherry Blossom Latte. Iced Cherry Blossom Latte: This was a rather delicious drink. Besides being a typical latte, the berry notes were refreshing and gave it that flavor profile of sweetness. The "pink petals" reminded me a bit of the Japanese cherry blossom petals falling from the sky. Overall, I enjoyed the drink and look forward to trying more stuff from them
Beautiful coffee shop located in an adorable plaza of its own. I feel like the interior gives me Mediterranean / Moroccan vibes. Ordered a plain latte with the help of the friendly barista and it came out within 10minutes. I really enjoyed it! Coffee beans from Blue Bottle are generally are not as strong as I'd like but they still give me the caffeine I need for the day. Highly recommend!
Great location for a solid coffee and great vibes! Food: solid sweet baked goods, but I'd recommend you go elsewhere for baked items. Drinks are always solid and the coffee is good quality Service: average wait time, but typically runs a bit slower since it gets busy Ambiance: spacious and super cute! A little noisy bc it gets busy but overall really great! Grab a seat asap bc the place gets filled in minutes. Right now there's some remodeling inside so there's less seating, and limited outlets :( Parking: lots of available street parking or nearby free parking lots
This is one of my favorite coffee place. I love to order cappuccino with oat milk and avocado Toast
Good quality coffee. This location also is also not too loud and the music isn't blasting so it's the perfect place to study or get some work done. The windows make the lighting perfect for getting work done too. The workers are also super nice and give great recommendations to what you may prefer.
I've gone here a couple times as it was right next to work when my coworkers wanted to go. This location is in such a nice space with seating to work or hang out. I've always gone in the morning when it's been pretty busy, but the workers are always working hard and are very nice. Sometimes drinks can take a bit of time if you don't order ahead, but that's to be expected at a busy coffee shop! I've gotten the matcha each time I've gone, and it is always enjoyable.
I had the Winter Espresso. Well dialed in and pulled espresso with clear layers. The top crema was bitter followed by sweeter notes of chocolate/toffee as described. First time at blue bottle and I'll definitely come back to try other seasonal espressos.
Came here for a morning pick me up on Thursday around 9AM. I love the Blue Bottle Iced Nola. It is pricey though at $6.75 for a 16oz. This location is beautiful and has plenty of work areas. They have plenty of pastries behind the counter. ~~Parking: It's conveniently located on University Ave which is walking distance from many offices. There is plenty of street parking and free parking lots. ~~Service: Slow as there is only 2 people working and one is responsible for mobile orders. ~~Return: Yes
