Blue Bottle Coffee

Nice coffee shop in downtown San Mateo! This is their second location in San Mateo, and it’s noticeably larger than the other one. There’s plenty of seating, making it a great spot to hang out with friends or meet up in a group. The interior is clean and bright, with lots of glass windows that bring in natural light and give the space an open, welcoming vibe. They’re currently featuring seasonal drinks like the cherry blossom matcha latte and cherry blossom latte. We ordered both, along with a pour over coffee, matcha pound cake, and avocado toast. Overall, everything was good. The cherry blossom drinks were good and nicely balanced, and the food paired well with our drinks. The only downside was that the drip/pour over coffee took a while to come out. Other than that, it was a pleasant ex

Waffle and coffee was tasty, but what sort of coffee shop doesn’t have outlets? Came to a coffee shop to specifically work on my computer, but no access to outlets foiled my plans. So I would not recommend coming here to work or study.

This is my go to coffee place. I enjoy the outdoor area with plenty of seating l, fairly easy parking, and honestly, my favorite place to pickup an oat milk latte. However, besides the coffee, the staff is wonderful. Always friendly and helpful with a special shout out to Alyssa who is my favorite barista. She’s always got a great smile with a cheerful attitude! I’m sure I’ll be back soon with my personal cup.

Love this location. Quiet atmosphere, usually not busy, and quick service. Their latte lines ate very good. My personal favorite would be match latte with oat milk. My husband’s long time love is their latte. However, their coffee is quite pricey.

Was looking for coffee options and saw this location. First time for me so wasn’t sure what to get. I talked to the person at the counter for a bit and we settled on a Single Origin Pour Over which just happened to be Ethiopian on this day. I thoroughly enjoyed the coffee and appreciated their coffee knowledge in guiding my choice. Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge. The wife got the winter latte and she really enjoyed it too. Highly recommend stopping by as I will definitely be back.
