I usually get Red velvet latte or the Ethiopia coffee. If you want some Humphry Slocombe ice cream in South Bay then this is the place to go. Okay wifi speed. Very talented and friendly baristas.
Ask for the Mocha "Fouzi Style". It's way better than the standard Mocha since the chocolate is steamed with the milk so its smooth and blended. In a regular Mocha it's mixed in with the espresso.
Gary Eng WalkSeptember 7, 2014Terrific, artfully-made lattes. They use quality beans from Sightglass Coffee. They also import ice cream from Humphry Slocombe: no need to drive all the way up to SF!
Humphrey slocomb, red velvet latte, chipotle chicken panini. I think I'm in heaven. All their coffees are great! I'd suggest lattes for those who don't like black coffee
All the coffee is amazing! The pour over, the red velvet latte, cappuccino and don't forget to try the ice cream!
Bikash MishraAugust 4, 2017Good place to get coffee in Cupertino. They have pourovers for three different types of beans. The place is cozy with indoor and outdoor seating.
Try their London Fog, Karl the Fog. It’s great! Hope it stays. One of the best matcha latte in the South Bat as well.- Tom McGhanMarch 27, 2012They have Humphry Slocombe Ice Cream, making this the only place I've seen with it in the South Bay. Get the Secret Breakfast (ice cream + bourbon + corn flakes? Yes please)!
Now to use Internet you need to ask them for a ticket with access code. This is inconvenient, especially from mobile phone which remembers network and connects automatically next time you are here.
Thomas PajorApril 4, 2016Excellent coffee shop in a nice area of Cupertino. They can make a Flat White, even though it's not on the menu.- Joseph LeSeptember 7, 2015Great place to work! Has Humphry Slocomb ice cream too! Affogato was delicious
Grace KengJanuary 10, 2012I just ordered a red velvet latte. It is just like the 1st pic ! Tasted good and it is a pleasant place. Last tursday lost a bag there Janet called me and I get it back which is cool!
- Aditya UmraniMay 7, 2014Only place in the south bay to have ice cream flavors from 'Humphrey Slocombe' - One of SF's best ice cream places #secretbreakfast
Top shelf dedicated to Gluten Free treats. yay! Chocolate torte is a must try - you will not be disappointed.
Renganathan RamamoorthyApril 13, 2013Holy Humphrey Slocombe ice cream. Vietnamese coffee flavor ftw. Super tasty latte and great service. Highly recommended.
Try the Affogato W/Humphry Slocomb Ice Cream - What's better than @Sightglass espresso and @HumphrySlocombe ice cream? #Affogato made with both, at @BitterPlusSweet in Cupertino!
JoannaMarch 17, 2016Really good, perfectly balanced piccolo. Although they don't know it's called this way.
Tom CoatesDecember 16, 2016Bit of a weird little place. The tortes were like Australian lamingtons - that is to say, delicious.
Get Humphry Slocombe Ice Cream here! Their red velvet latte is amazing too!
Yifen JJanuary 24, 2013Red velvet latte is fantastic! Not too sweet- I was pleasantly surprised and you will be too :)- I've tried coffee, their cold brew(ask for no ice) and their sandwich. All good.
Red velvet latte is pretty great for a twist on the standard espresso drink
The secret breakfast! Cereal milk flavor and corn flakes with a bit of liquor :D
Don't pass up the opportunity to enjoy a proper espresso here.
Square, Inc.December 19, 2012Munch on some spicy salami and grab a red velvet latte and pay at the counter with Square Wallet! https://squareup.com/wallet
If you had to get one drink make it the Red Velvet Latte. The savory pies are surprisingly tasty as well!
An oasis from suburban ennui. Try something new and enjoy the classical music.
Their tea is quite tasty and they'll make any of them as an iced tea if you ask for it.
Jamie WongApril 25, 2013Signature red velvet of course! But love pairing a slice of cake with a cappuccino though. :)
Joan AngApril 12, 2013Try the cheese cake chocolate chip ice cream. Another favorite apart from the secret breakfast one!
Andrea CampiAugust 30, 2014The best croissants in the area, easy. Head and shoulder above Paris Baguette.
Pay with Square, enjoy delicious pour over, and finish off with Humphry Slocombe. Yum!
Arun JollyOctober 5, 2016Pretty underwhelming. I was surprised at the lack of presentation and food was pretty bland. Look at this picture. Does this look appetizing? It's also a mini English muffin. Not even full sized.
Alice LeeDecember 29, 2012As someone who just got her wisdom teeth out, I must say that the red velvet smoothie is divine.
Lee EJanuary 30, 2012Mocha with soy milk is great. It has 53% cacao so it's not sugary sweet like the coffee chains.

"Great coffee shop with a nicer interior than most Starbucks as it is a Reserve version. Ample seating inside and out.."
Robert Prigge - 8.5
"Find fantastic single-origin pour-over coffees, w/ beans from their own roastery in Palo Alto. The 4th location of local Silicon Valley small biz is the stuff of modern mid-century aesthetic lovers"
