Mind Coffee

The shop has great coffee. From their seasonal drinks to their traditional coffee. We got their S’mores by the fire latte and a light roast cortado with passion fruit notes. Both were amazing. Additionally, the drinks are thoughtful and baristas are knowledgeable and nice.

I got the hojicha einspanner to go. It was pretty small given the price, but the latte itself was pretty good, though the whipped cream on top felt slightly heavy. The atmosphere of this cafe is super nice and good for working.

First impression, I like it here more than most of the starbucks I have visited before. The place is a little small and good for people who like to sit differently and want to listen to nice music. The latte I ordered was warm good enough for me to enjoy drinking it while having my “Kouign Amann - Chocolate” and it was small and 50% of its advertised picture, but surprisingly, it was delicious and nothing like I taste before. I did give 3 stars to services, because it felt like no one was welcoming me there, I was hanging around a little bit and the baristas were deep in their brewing coffees, so I ended up ordering the food digitally by the monitor! Maybe a little more love to new people coming over welcoming them, can go a long way. Overall, 4 out of 5! Cheers!

This place gives off college vibes. As soon as I walked in, it was packed with students studying. Some chatting pretty loudly with friends. Regular influx of people ordering. I did come at the peak time according to Google. The baristas are very busy, so I ordered from a screen. They bring the drinks to you, but call you up for food. Somehow they remember your face even without a table number. They were out of napkins, but filled them immediately when I asked. Food and drinks default as to go unless you specific otherwise. Great for work vibes, some yummy tea and noms to go. Or if you want to connect with the nostalgia of college. Not if you want meditative space to enjoy tea (my original hope from another review!)

The matcha drinks here are amazing! Just a heads up, though—the seating is pretty limited since the café is quite small. My orders were Ceremonial Iced Matcha, Matcha Mindspänner, and Okonomiyaki Danish(Bake Sum Japanese pancake dish in a danish form ; it contained fish)

Coffee is good but employees are very rude and racist. When picking my order at the counter, I want to take pics before I put on lids. I had make sure i was not in anyone’s way before doing so. Still two employees serving at the counter joked about that they did not understand why people taking pics at the counter. I’m sure they think I had my earbuds on and I look like Asian tourist so I would never understand what they said about me. This happened on 11/23/25 between 3-30pm pst. I normally do not leave review but what they did was intolerable. Hopefully they learn to respect someday. I get that people gossip behind others back but being rude on one’s face is another level.

this place can be a hit or miss but i recently tried the matcha einspanner and was pleasantly surprised! creamy matcha, perfect level of sweetness for me.

Taste Hojicha latte and fell in love with it. Anywhere else in Bay Area I can have similar Hojicha latte again ? Really want to know.
