What People Are Saying
from Google & Yelp"Solid latte. Califia oat milk. Guava croissant was *delicious.* Located inside Subaru dealership, you wouldn’t expect a lot, but glad to be proven wrong."
"It's in a car dealership and has no vibe. Smells like tires. Then they didn't have 80% of the menu but the teenager girl serving was rude about it for no reason. Told my kid "I already told you". Don't talk to my kid like that, you were mumbling into the wind, looking at your nails."
"Tried their Americano. Very good. Neither sour nor too bitter, but I would definitely say Starbucks style"
"Tldr: very solid specialty coffee and tasty Manresa pastries Also included: your brain unable to comprehend this level of quality from a coffee shop inside of a car dealership. Their secret is apparently hiring someone who really knows what they're doing and letting them handle things end-to-end. It's brilliant, really. I just moved back from New York, which has a solid coffee scene and there is almost nothing above moderately ok in this area, especially not in walking distance. Don't get me started on Santana Row/valley fair options. But something I struggled to find in NYC were incredibly buttery croissants, toasted to order. Bless Manresa. Also: lots and lots of outlets and table space, if you're into that kind of thing"
