    Has fantastic outdoor patio for warm summer days and ample indoor sitting. They offer great coffee, gelato, sandwiches, and overall environment for studying. Keep your receipt with the WiFi password.

    They have breakfast burritos, good coffee, and coffee cake. Try the toasted coconut mocha, my favorite! The place has a relaxing front porch and also sells their own roasted coffee beans.

    Peru beans were prepared as an iced coffee. The flavor profile is clean with the typical nutty body common to the region. The body is sweet and light with hints of macadamia and sunflower seeds.

    Cute local cafe. Lots of great comfy chairs for reading and writing, plenty of space, and delicious food and lattes.

    Columbia beans have a fair amount of acidity yet only a medium body. The cup is clean, free of tangy tones, with notes of cucumber and refined sugar.

    The Ethiopia beans were available on machine drip. Accurate to the in-store description, this cup is acidic on the back tongue/roof of mouth. Hints of earthy flavor; avocado and grape notes.

    Comfy seating, power outlets, somewhat flaky Wi-Fi. Parking is free but time-limited and not covered.

    Love this local place. My favorite is a large iced vanilla latte and an apple pastry. Supper yummy and satisfying.

    The medium roasted Peru beans have a ripple of smoke and walnut flavor. The cup is clean with a strong, one-dimensional body.

    My favorite coffee shop, but so disappointed about their fruit bowls. Used to have tons of fresh fruit and ordered it all the time. Now it's almost five dollars for 5 pieces!

    Filled with activity this location is popular among students. The only thing is the baristas are inconsistent with service and making craft coffee. Also not Wheelchair friendly.

    Consuming four or more cups of coffee a day could reduce the risk of prostate cancer, according to Cancer Causes and Control. Help me raise money and fight prostate cancer at mobro.co/mhlira

    A cute, laid-back coffee shop. The Thai iced tea and Razzle Dazzle Raspberry smoothie was pretty off the chain.

    Very relaxed spot, but lost of hipster-ish cooler-than-thou types. Awesome service, great environment (not a lot of outlets).

    Clean, quiet, cozy cafe in San Jose. They have WiFi and outlets, but their WiFi is kind of slow. (~9Mbps)

    They use Square payments which means they can take all kinds of credit cards. Drinks are not my favorite, but their hours are great and Wi-Fi is free.

    The wifi network is crema_coffee not CREMA. Also like someone else mentioned, you might have to set a manual IP address like 192.168.0.xx
