Upscale/High End coffee shop conveniently located in downtown San Mateo. Plenty of indoor seating, immaculately clean, wonderful drinks and friendly staff! It can be a little pricey but I like to think of this place like a Starbucks but much better with higher quality coffee and care put into their drinks. In order to conserve the environment, they now default to using oat milk in their drinks by default, but this makes everything much better.Highly recommended if you’re looking to enjoy a coffee in a clean and spacious environment with friendly people and good coffee.

All Blue Bottles are consistent in any branch. This one is great because of the huge indoor space for working and natural light. The only downside is the internet - it was spotty for me on 3/29 late afternoon.

This Cafe is a great place to go when you are craving good coffee tea or beverage. I had a hojichka latte with almond milk and it was sweet and delicious, the frothing lasted all the way through and the tea was strong and delicious. Staff was very friendly and helpful for me.

Great place to hangout, awesome coffee10/10 recommend

The coffee is really good, the best in San Mateo. They recently opened their indoor seating…but there NO PLUGS, come on…can’t even charge my phone if need be. If people working in your coffee shop is an issue, just add less plugs or limit wifi use to an hour or say no laptops?What is the thinking behind not adding plugs to your seating area.

Service is friendly and drinks were quick to come out when I visited at 5:40PM on a Friday. I made my selection quickly and appreciated that they didn't rush me!$7 + tip for a coffee is definitely splurgy for me, so I only try to indulge ever so often.I like to order the Shakerato with oatmilk, because it's a great balance of coffee, milk, and sweetness to me. I don't mind paying premium once in a while, because I definitely enjoy it and I *know* I will finish it, which is hard to say for more coffee drinks.The space is beautiful, but there is only outdoor seating and takeout at the moment.

Friendly and fast. Inside dining closed. Outdoor seating next to noisy generator, not ideal. Coffee and snack delicious.

Love the vibe of the cafe and the taste of the coffee! Always the perfect flavor. If the coffee is not per your taste, the staff is really nice and make you another one. The washroom is clean.

High tech feeling place with lots of places to sit. Best and consistent coffee that I've had.

No electric outlet and Yes they designed it this way on purpose. Also, very slow internet connection. You cannot do anything....not even browsing with this internet. blue bottle is blue bottle. it's an expensive decent coffee. However, I'd say they fail on the in-store expensive. I'd much rather go to starbucks where I can sit in comfort and do work.
