Blue Bottle Coffee

Love the location of this BB. It's on the corner and has huge bay windows that let in lots of natural light. Perfect for cold fall mornings and bright sunny afternoons. The shop is super clean with a staff that's always super attentive and quick to serve.

You're joking right? Opening in 2032 That's hilarious I guess I'll find somewhere else to purchase coffee.

Take My Breath CaféThis Oakland-based coffee purveyor has been serving up damn, fine cups of Joe since 2002. Once independently owned by W. James Freeman, they've been owned by Nestlé since 2017.They now operate over 100 locations worldwide, with most of them being here in Cali. This Downtown Los Gatos (DTLG) location has been open for a little less than two years (July '22) now and is one of the newer ones in The Bay. The Good:*I rarely use superlatives like "the best," but Blue Bottle is by-far my favorite coffee shop, regardless of mom-&-pop or large conglomerate. Their coffee is so smooth and yummy, and every cup is brewed up individually to perfection.*No oat milk tax here, as oat milk is the standard milk used if you don't say anything. Oddly enough, they do have a $1 Almond Milk Tax, which I found odd, but I hate Almond Milk, so no biggie for me. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯*Matcha latte is my favorite non-seasonal drink as the matcha is strong, smooth, and full of flavor. Fun fact: when you add a shot (i.e., dirty) to your matcha latte, they actually add a shot of matcha and not espresso. *Service is always friendly and not smarmy like Philz baristas can be. The Meh:*Parking in DTLG can be a bit iffy during certain days but should be manageable. Especially if you don't mind walking a little bit. The Ugly:Not the cheapest coffee, but it's worth every penny. Conclusion: Great place to get your caffeine fix while visiting DTLG.

I love that they have a brew with Chicory in it. I'd never had it before, but the New Orleans-Style iced coffee here is delicious and it offers a little something no one else has. I dare you to try it, I think you'll enjoy it. The Samra latte is good as well just as long as you don't add any sugar, it already has added honey and sugar from oat milk. Only the highest quality coffee is served here and it shows up on your taste buds.

I was here for the first time to meet one of my colleague- friend. Their service is great, I loved the Cafe latte and the pastry Matcha mochi. The ambience and the vibe is great. There's seating inside and outside as well. I really enjoyed this place and definitely recommend it.

Our go to place for Matcha. The matcha is definitely the best I've had, and I will certainly be returning for more. Just wish this place was a little cozier, but not a deal breaker.

This Blue Bottle has an ideal location that opened last July (according to one of the workers)! I loved the interior of the cafe and appreciated how they had plenty of outdoor seating.I opted for their single origin pour over, which happened to be the Colombia Bilbao Los Vascos. The taste notes were supposed to be caramel, grapefruit, and green apple. There definitely was a faint deeper,chocolate note at the beginning that turned slightly herbal and then ended with a tanginess at the end. I didn't particularly like the herbal transition, but it was a decent cup otherwise.

Love studying at Blue Bottle and so I came to this location since I was in Los Gatos. Service was great and the girl was so friendly. She made my Nola right after I ordered. Nola tasted great and was the perfect bittersweet. Came here around 10:30AM on a Saturday and it was busy when I got in but started clearing up about 10 mins later. I was studying on my own basically for a good hour and then it picked up a little around noon. Great vibes here and perfect place to study. I always love how calm Blue Bottles are compared to Philz which is always super loud. Not to mention, the architecture inside is beautiful. Super clean and service is great. Definitely come here if you want a nice coffee and a quiet place to study or do work!

Nice location in Los Gatos. Clean and service is nice. Watched the cashier handle cash and then wash his hands prior to picking up and handling the pastry. Small but I'm sure we've all seen someone at the cash register and touching things all day. Anyway it's a mellow blue bottle location and the coffee is as good as any location they have. I like their lattes and they make good matcha too. I will say they are more expensive than most any other place but it is good..

Slow service, took 15m for $6 coffee, won't come back, also the place was not too busy
