Hannah - San Jose

I recently visited Hannah Coffee with high hopes for a satisfying latte experience, but unfortunately, my expectations fell short. The latte I ordered left much to be desired, as it lacked the distinct coffee flavor I was anticipating. Instead, it tasted more like a milk drink with a hint of coffee essence. For a coffee shop that prides itself on its beverages, this was quite disappointing. While the ambiance and service were decent, the lack of a prominent coffee taste in my latte overshadowed the positives. I was hoping for a more robust and flavorful coffee experience, but it just didn't deliver.

This small independent coffee shop is at the end of my block—just a very short walk away. This is a new experience for me, and I’ve been several times. The coffee is good, they have great food (including beautiful pastries made on-site), and they know me by name now! I love getting breakfast and coffee here, and especially when I find a surprise cupcake in the bag with my bagel sandwich.

This corner coffee shop along the Alameda heading into central San Jose is a pleasant place to stop and enjoy a latte and one of their tasty breakfast sandwiches. While small, the place has a pleasant ambience and has a modern art deco influence in its presentation. The staff is always friendly and there is a nice camaraderie among them as they really seem to enjoy working together.

Like this place, I go there pretty often. My favorite is the salted caramel latte, however the taste is not consistent, a couple of times it was a bit watery. Also the wait time could be very long from 10am to 12pm, there were times i waited for 20+ mins.

I think there was a change in ownership/management. I used to go to Hannah’s for a quick and hearty breakfast. Bagels were a go-to. But I can tell the new management is skimping on ingredients and really makes me question why I should pay $5 for a store bought bagel with a thin sliver of cream cheese. I get bagels at a shop to get a guilty schmear of cream cheese, not to be nickel and dimed with a delicate little children’s serving. The bagel is basically toast in the shape of the bagel, and they didnt even slice the bagel evenly. Fennel is overpowering the flavor and yes I’m probably more upset than I should be over a bagel but regardless I won’t be back and it breaks my heart to see one of my local favorites turn to this.
