At first glance the coffee shop looks cute and a nice place to study at, however the first table we went to had spiderwebs and the table just did not look clean, the second table was fine however it was sticky that did end up really annoying. But what was worse was the flies! They kept flying around us and even landed in my coffee that I could just not concentrate on anything else after that. They’re was no excitement or welcoming feeling when we came in. It’s not a place I would like to go back to for-sure.

Come here a handful of times since moving to South Bay. Usually service is pretty good but today not even close. The barista got my order wrong and when I said I ordered my drink another way instead of saying "sorry let me fix it," it became a power struggle that "no you didn't, you said this." That's a huge turn off. then when I call back to have her explain why I paid more than what I typically do 6$ for a small iced dirty vanilla chai with (when I asked for a large) she said it was because I said extra sweet (most coffee shops don't charge for this) but okay

Was interested in checking out this cafe but was extremely disappointed when I got there. Their website is misleading. They hardly have any of the items that are advertised on their site. I was looking forward to having a sandwich that they put on there. They only have salad and pizza in addition to a tiny selection of pastries. They need to update their site also for the time they are actually open because I've tried going down there before and they were closed.

They serve Verve coffee!!! If that doesn’t say it all, they also have a really nice atmosphere with lots of wood, plants, indoor and outdoor seating, white snd dark chocolate options in the mocha, alternative milks, and friendly service. Definitely worth a visit. Right next to Los Gatos High School.

If I could give this place a 10/5, I would. This spot is legit the best coffee spot in the area. My boyfriend and I went here on a whim and was hopeful that it was a sister company/expansion of @dio_deka , since we absolutely loooooved eating there a couple years back (oh it's even better than @kokkarisf ) too. Lots of comparisons when you get to this level of Michelin rated restaurants. Anyhoo, this place looks like it is indeed tied together with @dio_deka. They didn't have their full selection of Greek drinks up and running yet, so instead got the White Mocha with Oatmilk. This

The coffee machine was not working in my room in Hotel Los Gatos so I ran across for a fix. While ordering Latte I saw their scrumptious but small collection of croissants, pastries and turnovers. Sitting now with their almond croissant - simply the best and the excellent Latte. Mmmm good. Cant wait to come back here just for the Latte.

The coffee is okay, verve is a bit on the brighter, fruitier end of the spectrum. Just know that in advance. Kind of felt bad for the one barista literally running the whole cafe by themselves. It would probably benefit everyone to have two people there, even with reduced hours. They gave me the wrong drink and I don't really blame them when there's a never ending line to catch up to on the weekends.

Immediately when you stop by, you notice how nice the decor is, even from the outside! There is quite a bit of greenery, and the chairs and benches are all wood based. I can certainly imagine coming here to work if not for Covid.
I got the cold brew coffee, and to be frank, it tasted like any normal cold brew. I'm not a coffee connoisseur by any means though. I would say the caffeine kick was very strong, and certainly took me by surprise.
My friend got the dark chocolate mocha, and I was quite surprised. There was a floral taste to it, and it was not too sweet as expected of dark chocolate

This is one of my definite favorite destination spot when I am either in the mood for chilling on a morning coffee on weekends or having a quick client meeting. The quality of their coffee is awesome, and the atmosphere is fundamentally quiet and is located in a slightly secluded spot from the more crowded Los Gatos avenue/street thus as long as I don't hit the crowded hours there are always a seat or two.
Also, I always enjoy chatting with one the staffs as they seem to have common hobbies with me as an avid follower of classic rock music.
I really really miss this place as I had been

Super cute little cafe at the end of downtown. We never would have even found it if we hadn't parked further than we intended to!
This place was a perfect for a fast but delicious weekend brunch.
For a tiny cafe, the food was surprisingly fresh and tasty. Our breakfast croissant and breakfast wrap were both scrumptious. The pastries are also amazing. They have limited seating (both indoor and outdoor) though.
Glad we came across this place!

Located on the corner of a really pretty, clean, and bougie-looking area, Cafe Dio offers a pleasant and quiet place to study or chat at.
Upon entering Cafe Dio, I noticed how brightly lit the place was because of the many wide windows. The front is characterized by brick and wood deco and draws in customers to their multiple menu's of both coffee-based drinks as well as foods (e.g., sandwiches, pizza, salads, etc).
The cashier/barista at the front was super helpful when I asked for suggestions. I ended up getting the iced latte cause they said they could ice anything! Thankfully they don

Great little neighborhood cafe. The coffee is really good. They use vwrve coffee which is popular in the area. Chai was nicely spiced bit not too heavy. The staff was super friendly and knew their product. Did a smell test of bean options before having you decide. Nice pastry items. Great place to sit and socialize

Pros
Verve coffee
Unique & good quality treats & eats
Friendly employees
Light & bright
Location, right across from the library
Best homemade yogurt ever (kinda pricey, $4.50 for a super small cup,but it's so good!)
Cons
Some customers will use place as their office, like the guy who's on his mobile LOUDLY talking business.
