"I used to like staying at RR during Saturdays because the latte tastes rich and there are many seats on the second floor. However, I waited for 30mins just for a same old latte this time, and was very, very disappointed that there’s no explanation on why they forgot my order or why it took so long. They just gave it to me like nothing was messed up. I understand that baristas might get busy, but I’ve standing there ALL THE TIME waiting. Even some other customers noticed that I’ve been waiting for so long and said “good luck” to me. If I didn’t ask in the end, I would probably never get my latte. The unreasonable waiting has ruined my day, and now I only wish I didn’t tip for this drink."

"The two main things that work for red rock coffee are its location and its timing. Bang in the middle of Castro Street and open till 8 PM, if you want to work in a cafe later in the day, this is a good spot. That’s free, Wi-Fi and plenty of Desk to work from. Almost everybody, I saw in the cafe was working. They also have an event venue on the second floor, but I did not end up Checking it out. I went on a Saturday evening, and there was only one barista. He seemed a little overwhelmed, but was still patient and kind. The coffee itself was quite mid though. Somehow felt a little watered down and not as strong as I prefer them to be."

"Cute spot on Castro St, right in the heart of downtown Mountain View - so lots of foot traffic and lots of customers inside. This place has a cozy upstairs spot that is filled to the brim with laptops, and the people that are operating them, including all the hushed (and not-so-hushed) conversations that go along with video work meetings and collaborative vibe-coding. Next time I go, I think I will record the conversations I couldn't help but overhear and write a classic SNL sketch. The almond milk Chai I enjoyed was foamed to perfection, the perfect temperature, with all the necessary flavors balanced just right - wonderfully executed by a friendly staff. That being said, this loveliness comes at a price - my 16oz drink cost me $9.75! The most expensive 16oz almond milk Chai I have ever purchased. Red Rock is hitting all the right notes, and they're located in a spot where there may be enough customers to support prices that are roughly 30% higher than comparable coffee shops around the area. I enjoyed my visit, and may likely visit again, but if I lived nearby, I couldn't support spending that kind of money every day."

"A great to strike up your first meeting. Conveniently located beside a parking lot, which also is almost always full, though. Love the spaced out ambience and their liking towards arts."

"The Gibraltar was my first and it was spectacular. Rich, velvety, smooth…. I felt downright decadent and indulged. All while standing in a very standard comfortable neighborhood coffee shop. The service was excellent and subtle. The coffee was perfect. It was just the right size, just the right amount of bold. I felt like Goldilocks - this coffee fit me just right."
