Caffino — Restaurant in Mountain View

The interaction I had at this place was ridiculous. I ordered a large iced vanilla breve. He told me my total without even asking if I wanted anything else, but I added a muffin after he told me my total. He rung it up as a regular iced breve, I asked for an extra pump of vanilla and he said “oh you want vanilla” yes, that’s what I said. A minute after he was inputting the order he asked me how many pumps I want, I asked how many come in a large. He said a breve has no syrup. I was confused, a breve is just half and half instead of regular milk, so whatever a large iced vanilla latte has, just do that amount of syrup. But he was giving me no number of pumps for some reason, so I said I guess 5 or 6 (I like my drinks sweet) a little after I said that, he proceeded to tell me it would be A DOLLAR PER PUMP? So you want me to pay like 13 dollars for an iced vanilla breve latte? That is insane, any other place it’s maybe 7 dollars. I mentioned that the location in Milpitas doesn’t charge me that way (because they don’t, go there instead and save yourself the headache!) he mentioned it’s different owners. So I said forget it and I ordered a medium mango Fresca. He rung it up, I asked if he takes Apple Pay and he said yes. I tried 3 different times, my Apple Pay wasn’t working. After the first time he asked me if I had American Express, I said no I have a Mastercard. The second time he asked me if I was sure I didn’t have American Express, at this point I was so frusterated, because now you’re telling me I don’t know what kind of card I had? I literally showed him my card on my Apple Pay so he can see the Mastercard symbol. The third time, he reminded me to press the green button after inputting my pin as if I didn’t do that the first 2 times. So after the 3rd try, he just shrugged and said “sorry” I am not kidding, I was there for 10 minutes. I know this because I checked the time I was on the phone with my boyfriend before and after I drove off. I wasted my time and left with a half assed apology and no food or drink. Absolutely insane. DO NOT GO HERE!!! Make coffee at home if...

Nice spot for a quick coffee if you don't want to leave your car. I personally enjoyed their blended drinks. We tried the Oreo Fresco and the Matcha Green Tea Fresco both were very sweet and definitely hit the spot when I was trying to go for a dessert drink :)

I will admit though it is sweet, and is not for the faint of heart. But if you need to satisfy your sweet tooth those blended creations are great!

The Match Green Tea was a bit milky, but other than that service was friendly and quick!

I would come back...

I was so happy to finally find a good coffee shop while visiting the Bay Area! And drive through, to boot. The owner remembered me after the first visit and was such a sweetheart! She has a wonderful variety of drinks. They're all delicious! She doesn't burn the espresso like most places in the area, and has better quality ingredients to start with. I'd even buy from her occasionally back home where Starbucks can't keep a store open more than 6 months because no one ever needs to...
