@yc - San Jose

I know that I would like to write memories at @YC. The first time I visited this coffee shop, I got to meet the owner of the shop. The first coffee that I tried was the Golden Gate coffee. Additionally, I would also buy a donut with it too. I used to live around 7th and Taylor and I would get breakfast before I start homework or go shopping at Target. During the hard times of the pandemic, although the donuts were not in the coffee shop any more but I do still get my favorite golden gate coffee which is my favorite. I am definitely going to miss this coffee shop which is my very first block of San Jose. Thank you sir for making a coffee adventure as a start and most of my college years. If I do find the Golden Gate Blend by Mr. Expresso, I will take advantage ASAP.

They never disappoint, best scrammie I have ever had. Husband prefers his in croissant but I love mine on bagel. Wonderful humans own the establishment and makes us feel good that we have them in our community.

Ive been here several times through the years and they were all pleasant enough. Today I came here with two friends. I ordered the Scrammy . There is a table at the door for ordering, paying etc. and only outdoor seats currently. My friends who were ahead of me got their food. I could only assume my order was next. The owner (older man with white beard) called Scrammy and walked away from the table. I picked up what I thought was my food and went to take a seat. A minute later he comes out belligerent. He points his finger at my friend and yelled YOU! DID YOU TAKE THE FOOD ON THE TABLE?! super aggressively. I tell him that it was me that took it and he yells and even hits a chair in anger. Everyone was extremely uncomfortable and also confused. I hear him cursing when he gets inside and telling someone to re-bag it. I 'm pretty sure he just gave me the same sandwich again in a different bag (I think I took the correct one from the start but he thought my friend took it, which wouldn 't have been an issue either way haha). I explained to him that he called the sandwich I ordered and I thought it was mine. He gave me a super sarcastic Yeah alright as if he didn 't believe me! I was a paying customer. Did he think I was trying to get some one up on him in some way? It didn 't make any sense. Very Bizarre interaction that left us all scratching our heads. Will never be going back there. He also got my order wrong anyway! He had the audacity to ask us how our breakfast was when we were leaving. This was as he was smoking right at his front door. Even if I had accidentally taken the wrong order (which I don 't think I did) this is no way to treat a customer or human for that matter.

Really rude service. Front man was snappy and impolite ... didn't want to answer any questions about the menu and got mad at me for not knowing they were only serving breakfast... I just wanted a nice quick morning coffee but I ended up leaving solely bc he was just that mean lol.. How does this place have good reviews??

I would pick this place over Starbucks any day!! Great, quick service, awesome food, delicious coffee.
