Nirvana Soul Coffee

Very inviting space, the artwork on the wall is beautiful and the plants definitely give another added touch.1st visit:I ordered the white rose latte and it's very creamy and probably 3 sips in you will taste the rose and not overpowering.2nd visit: (next day)I ordered the banana chai and wow - it's become my fav drink. The aftertaste is this drink is very pleasant and sweet. My daughter attends SJSU so anytime I'm in the area I'll definitely be coming back for that.

For the most part the drinks do come out fast but I've noticed it's only when the shift lead is there (she's the girl who's always working when I am there). Today was pretty frustrating, shift lead was not there and the 3 ppl behind the counter were working at snails pace. It really shouldn't take over 15 minutes for one drink, I would understand if understaffed but they weren't. Waited around 15 mins and my drink wasn't even good, got an iced van latte and when they handed it to me the syrup was at the bottom, I did the best to mix it but my first two sips were straight up just vanilla and the rest of my drink was just a reg ice latte. I do feel bad for the girl I assume is the shift lead, she always seems stressed but she makes the best drinks by far. Would've gave one star if she prob wasn't there. Not saying this place sucks, they have pretty good drinks but I think some of the baristas need better time management when making drinks.

This Mabuhay Ube Latte was really good here. I can really taste the ube, and it has a light sweetness. The Totoro latte art was really cool! The service was fast and friendly. And the ambiance is really chill.

Got an iced white rose latte with oat milk and it tasted just okay. 3/5 for the taste, it was sweet and floral. However, shortly after I drank a couple sips of the drink, my stomach started to feel a bit uneasy. I'm not sure if they put oat milk like I asked or if the milk has gone bad. I had to use the restroom right away and afterwards I just tossed the rest of my drink so I didn't risk going again. This is located at the bottom of the MLK Library so it is a great location for convenience since a lot of students study there. Prices however were a bit on the higher side. My drink came to $7 something for a regular size. I came twice, the first time I came service was friendly and quick, had a good conversation with the cashier. The most recent time though, I got like bare minimum service. They asked what I wanted, made the drink, and that's about it. Not much interaction.

I was so excited when Nirvana Soul decided to open up a location on campus because I really like the one on first street ! I'm so happy that they are the ones to fill up the coffee shop space of the library. I think most students like it too. They have unique drink flavors, food to order, and food that is ready to purchase. It's quite a nice break area from all the studying and work to do. The interior is nice and bright just like the 1st street location. Service is friendly too. I don't go as often as I would like but I would recommend stopping by here !

Nirvana Soul just opened up another location in MLK! They have a pretty good amount of indoor seating and there's a lot of outdoor seating as well. Service is fast & drinks are delicious like the other locations. I tried the Banana Chai with the Mac Nut this time. The Mac nut is really really subtle. The banana overpowers it so it tastes like a regular banana chai. The music is a bit loud here, but other than that a nice spot for SJSU students to grab a cup of coffee.

I'm a frequent visitor of the Nirvana Soul on 1st St. and I'm SO excited to see them expand to SJSU campus! The new Nirvana location is a part of the MLK library and it has the same interior art style and vibe as their other locations. It seems like they also have a lot more tables and study spaces, and it looks SOO much better since Nirvana renovated it!This location is having their official grand opening on May 13! Some of my favorite items on the menu are the banana chai latte, matcha banana latte, mabuhay ube latte, and celebration latte. Congratulations to the Nirvana Soul team! Hoping for many more coffee adventures to come!

The hazelnut mocha was delicious and I loved the foam art on top. Not many coffee shops do this any more. Service was quick, limited seating and staff were helpful with my questions. I got oat milk to make it non-dairy. It stood up well to the mocha and hazelnut. Overall great choice for a good cuppa in downtown SJ!

Staff is so sweet!! I get the white rose latte but I've heard that all the specialty drinks are good! Price is about 7 dollars a drink but not unusual for SJ.

Exceptionally nice staff.Exceptionally good coffee and food.Mainly, I just love coming here because the staff people behind the counter are so kind and compassionate - makes my day to be quite honest so thank you. You're wonderful !
