Cute little Cafe! Stumbled across this place when Maps took us to the wrong post office. Love the atmosphere, and the owner is so nice. The drinks were awesome. Coming back for a panini next time.

My 1st time here. Unlike the Starbucks nearby, this place is really chill. Lots of seating. Lots of great coffee selection. They have a decent food selection. Overall, a great little spot with a more quiet vibe. Great for studying or hanging with friends. Plenty of parking in the lot or on the street. Free wifi. Ill be back. Great little find.

Great coffee joint! A very quiet place if you like drinking your coffee with peace and quiet. Its not Starbucks but a great mom and pop coffee shop none the less with all the baked goods that came with your morning Joe! Everyone here is in silent or meditative mode because you can hear a pin drop because everyone’s so quiet busy reading books or on their laptop/ tablet computers.

Really nice little coffee shop. Their coffee is pretty good, but the atmosphere and location are great. Its fairly low-key and quiet and the wifi is good, which makes it a good study/work spot. The staff are also super helpful and friendly.

The coffee is good, with some interesting flavors you can add. The people are pretty nice, and I never have to wait too long. Probably the best coffee in the area, at least in my experience.

Nice spot. Fresh food, and coffee was good. Had a vanilla ice coffee, it was strong but good. Perfect for me, had just the right amount of caffeine for me, enough to get me moving for the day, and was not overly sweet. Would recommend if you are in the area..

Great little coffee shop with awesome drinks in a good area. Nice and quiet, plenty of seats, and easy street parking. I think I found my new favorite local coffee shop.They also have lots of cool specialty drinks like the Mexican Mocha that I will need to try in the future.

This place is awesome. The owners are friendly and really love what they do. Great coffee/tea, quite and spacious enough for studying, and classic coffee shop feel. I go here at least 3 times a week.

I came here for the Ethiopian food that recently started being served here. The Ethiopian food is good but not as freshly prepared & formal as actual Ethiopian restaurants, as the food is preprepared. However, it is a nice addition to the coffee shop. There is no other Ethiopian food until Oakland or San Jose. Parking is on the street.

Quiet little coffee shop on quaint street just past all the traffic and bustle of Union Landing. I like the atmosphere and my wife likes her coffee. The chai I had was good as well, though I prefer more spice to it, it was good.

Disappointing. Cute place with lots of seating. The solitary staff person was friendly but the coffee was terrible. I had an egg sandwich that was ok but not something Id ever order again. I think the word is out on this place... and its not good. I was there for 45 minutes on a Monday morning and the only other person was a guy working on his laptop when I got there. No one else ever happened by.

Cute coffee shop good for studying. Not really a true roastery, though they stated they roast their own beans -- very limited choices. Cold brew was overextracted and bitter with minimal flavor notes. Tastes overextracted and at the same time watered down

Their smoothies are incredible! Better than the shop next door! The only thing is I wish they had more seating and outlets to plug your computer chargers in.

Their coffee is watery. They ran out of wooden sticks for stirring coffee and I was told to use plastic! I said I am not comfortable with using plastic in hot drinks. The employer says Im sorry and walks off. Upon ordering a pastry, I asked if their pastries are made by them and cashier says no, then I ask what is the name of the place they buy their pastries from... cashier nor the other employee could not even answer my quesrion! They did not even know. Never will come back again.

Really nice inside. The environment is great and the coffee is really good. I got a large cappuccino with almond milk and a chicken panini. The panini was really delicious. I would visit that place again just for the panini.

So my coffee came in a Starbucks Christmas mug (its April), they were out of 1/2 n 1/2, and tons of flies were buzzing around the garbage can where you have the condiments. Decor is nice and comfy but not surprising that at 8am theres only 4 customers with one girl behind the counter doing everything. Breakfast sandwich not available with bacon but pastrami was, actually was quite good. Coffee was meh. I have to give Kaffa 2 stars cuz it could be so much better plus on their website it says artesian style of roast instead of artisan. HUGE petpieve! What a disappointment since this is the closest non-starbucks cafe. Guess Ill have to go to Niles and try Devout

Not much to say about this place. Had a blended iced vanilla latte and it was way to strong, and no vanilla. It was more like a slushie too, not really like blended coffee or a frap. Not very good, and the cashier wasnt very nice, and kinda rude.

I came here for a late morning pick me up. This coffee shop is on the corner surrounded by some good places to eat. As I enter I get a feeling of being in the safari, but with ac. This place was spacious with lots of comfy seating. I ordered an iced coffee and a pastrami panini and my girl ordered a chicken panini. We received our coffees right away and then took a seat on one of the comfy couches and waited for our paninis. The young lady who took our order was very nice. My iced coffee was strong and bold just how I like it. We received our paninis shortly after and I thought that they looked very delicious. They paired quite nice with our coffees. When all said and done I thought that the chicken panini was a bit better tasting compared to the pastrami. If you go out the back door were the bathrooms are you will find a really nice and peaceful grass area with a bench tucked away in the back corner.
