“ Good vibes with the surrounding neighborhood, delicious coffee and matcha, and lovely service. ”
“ Was my first time coming here. Customer service was great, and did not have to wait that long for my order considering it was midday on a Wednesday. ”
“ Definitely improved their service and food quality. Love the vibe here and everyone is very friendly. ”
“ I love Blue Bottle. I love going here on weekends when there is easy parking and there are no lines. The hot NOLA or iced NOLA are my favorite drinks. I drink Blue Bottle once a week when I need a caffeine jolt before my morning soccer games and it is will worth the premium as the occasional weekend indulgence. ”
“ Do one thing and do it well, and keep doing it well. That Blue Bottle. Star$, and all the other "Guys" are plant fertilizer in comparison. ”
“ My neighborhood Blue Bottle Coffee is a luxury that I occasionally indulge in. I'm more of a daily dark roast drip coffee kind of guy, but occasionally I like to make my way over here for a Cappuccino. The quality of their beans and handcrafted touch is evident in their final product. As for this location, it is on the small side, however there are a few tables and seats on the left side, and there are a few small fold out tables and high chairs on the right side. You can either order via their app for a convenient pickup, or just head straight to the counter right in front of the entrance. Their espresso based drinks will not be like like anything you can pick up from the several other larger coffee franchises, and you certainly will pay more for this high touch, but if you're a coffee connoisseur then this is worth the occasional investment, in my humble opinion. ”
“ I wouldn't say Blue Bottle is my regular coffee spot, I actually like to rotate to different coffee shops for my occasional coffee fix, however Blue Bottle provides premium coffee that is truly hand crafted. This location is walking distance from Hillsdale mall and there are a few other eateries next door. My go to here is their Cappuccino with 2% milk. It is a small but powerful drink and the richness of their espresso really shines through. I find it's easiest to order using their App and I'm in and out with my drink. The line can get sometimes long and I'd rather be on my way with my warm drink in hand. Parking is street-side as there is no lot nearby. The staff here has always been welcoming and friendly. ”
“ I visited on a Friday lunch time. It wasn't too busy. About 8 customers and only one party in line in front of me. There were about three staff working there. My rating is mainly for the pastries. I didn't order any drinks or store items. -Tucked in nice neighborhood that is quiet and seems to be a mix of residential and businesses STARS (stand out qualities) -Good customer service - friendly and quick -Pastries are overall good but nothing outstanding; seems very cookie cutter -my favorite pastry is the brown butter blondie but maybe it was the butter talking! -interior is clean -Bathroom is clean and includes changing tables (score for parents/caregivers with kids with diapers!) STAIRS (areas of growth) -Put ingredients of pastries somewhere especially for those with allergies. I didn't find it on the website. A QR code to ingredient list would be helpful TIPS -Free street parking -There are two San Mateo locations so make sure which one you want to go to ”
