It was my first time experience here, I stopped by with my older brother to grab coffee and coffee beans for our expresso machine. The entire vibe of the place is cozy, mainly because of the Christmas decorations. The place has central heating, thankfully it made me feel warm from the cold weather outside. I had ordered their dark chocolate coconut mocha for take away - It had very little flavours of coconut, but mostly dark chocolate. Nonetheless it was a good refreshing drink!
First time here, very cool atmosphere, different from your classic coffee shops. I got the Dulce de leche coffee and it was fabulous. Will come here again.
Note that they do have a limited number of pastries and they do not heat them up, although that’s a bummer I appreciate the upfront disclosure.
It was entirely different set up than usual cafes. And hence quite interesting IMO. So you can walk inside to the store and put in the order. Then the coffee is delivered outside at the front window. Knowing that would definitely help save some time.
The coffee was good. It’s a quiet place to work. The servers were good.
Love coffee and atmosphere here, service could be not so friendly when busy time.
If you come on the weekends, be prepared to wait. At least 15-20 min.
I visited a few weeks ago and their coffee was pretty good but nothing out of the ordinary. Service was good, but wished it was faster.
They have a variety of coffees and pastries, including coffee beans from all over the world
It’s a hidden shop but once you go inside it’s pretty cute
Great coffee and a nice environment. We tried latte and dark coconut mocha, which were both delicious! Will definitely come back. It would be possible to order online, skip the line and just pick up your order. They sell packs of coffee beans with different flavors such as berries, peach, plum, chocolate fudge, etc. I suggest trying their delicious pies, too.
I have been going to Chromatic Coffee for a while now, at this location as well as another they had before the pandemic. They are very serious and dedicated about their coffee, I personally love their DCM (dark chocolate mocha). It has a very fun ambience being located in an old converted warehouse, which definitely gives it an old style urban rustic feel. I love many coffee shops in San Jose but I always come back to this one, having nostalgia for the place.
A great local coffee shop that roasts their own beans. Unfortunately 6/8ths of their massive space is cornered off for roasting and warehouse needs. I’ve seen other places roast using less than half that space by streamlining their set up (look to Compass Coffee in DC for an example). What I could see over the barrier hinted at inefficient design. All the tables and chairs for customers are in the hallways that are shared by other businesses - which is unfortunately not heated/cooled, while their shop space is. As much as I like their coffee, I probably won’t be returning here given that set up. It’s clear they are prioritizing their roasting space over serving drinks to enjoy outside of the home. Maybe this place would have more seating and a better atmosphere in the summer.
That said, if you are looking for a craft coffee to go, or locally roasted beans to take home, come here. Otherwise pick a different shop.
Beware the tasty food! Even though the staff can’t heat up the pies, they were still delicious! I appreciate that both savory and sweet personal pies were available. Drinks were amazing as always. I’m particularly fond of the dark coconut mocha.
Atmosphere and seating leave something to be desired, as there is only one outdoor table.
We ordered dark coconut mocha, dulce de leche latte, raspberry almond tea cake and guava cheesecake pie.
I absolutely loved their dark coconut mocha, it was velvety smooth and had rich chocolate and bold coffee flavor along with the essence of creamy coconut. I was sold on my first sip. Definitely would visit again for their dark coconut mocha.
5/5 for the dark coconut mocha.
