I like the Coffeetopia coffee shops for their bagel sandwiches and brew bar coffee. Their espresso is the old school American espresso, which is a darker roast. The accommodations of the place makes up for the OK espresso. I hope they will soon start to close late.

Waited for 35 minutes for bagel and coffee bagel was dry egg was way overcooked staff very not concerned with helping the cook or even acknowledging that he needs to speed up. Not going ther3 again. Made me 45 min late to work

My local to go coffee shop! They were great before and super awesome when they expanded. Delicious selections! Nice selections of tea and coffee. So important to me as a tea drinker! Outdoor seating. Their hours make them so special. Live music in non-pandemic times. Local artists on the wall. Seriously an all-around beautiful community gathering space.

The coffee is delicious and the staff are very friendly. I have tried the Mexican Mocha, the latte, and the coffee -- all were excellent. I also tried various treats like the lemon bars and baklava, but nothing was as good as the brownies! Definitely treat yourself to a brownie.

Spacious. Airy. Great place to study or hang with friends. Good, fairly standard cafe food and coffee. Its all served with pep by an upbeat young barista crowd. The coffee does seem a bit on the expensive side. But hey, I guess they have to pay the rent.

This place has the really yummy Peruvian coffee. Both my parents were born in Peru so its like drinking a hot cup of home. My dad owns a coffee shop in San Jose. I have to admit, they might be giving him a run for his money! Dont tell my dad I said that! Friendly service. I would rather come here over Verve any day. :D

Pure Awesomeness!! Visiting family in the area, we stopped by for a smoothie and much to our delight the recent rennovations have created a little piece of heaven, comfortable, clean and spacious. As an interior designer, I appreciate the gorgeous granite in the restroom and cool flooring materials and design. The Staff is joyful and helpful. May you have great success!

What a fabulous neighborhood upgrade! Recently expanded, this gem is newly remodeled, clean, fresh, bright and airy, spacious, with fast, reliable wifi, comfortable seating areas inside and out, friendly staff and beautiful for sale local artwork. A pleasant alternative to the sloppy, messy, noisy, corporate feel of the multiple cookie-cutter shops nearby, the new Coffeetopia is sure to be your next great meeting spot off the beaten path from the traffic-laden 41st Avenue. Plenty of parking on Capitola Road or in the rear.

Review №32

Carmel macchiato too sweet. Im lactose intolerant and they charged . 75 cents for almond milk. This was a rip-off on top of the $4.95 for a fairly small drink. Starbucks is cheaper and better with free refills. Dont bother.

If youre an espresso enthusiast, you might want to skip your usual drink here; the quality of foamed milk drinks in particular varies widely per barista. That being said, the pourover and tea experience here are great.Employees are always very friendly and the usual crowd has a strong sense of community; definitely not a pretentious coffee shop.Good WiFi and lots of power outlets, but a lot of bright windows, which can make screen work difficult.Overall my go-to place for telecommuting or getting some studying time in.
