My husband and I "discovered" this place when it was in it's old space. Happy to see they've expanded and are very popular. The coffee and pastries are fantastic, there's a lot of seating room, and there are games for adults and kids. The staff is great, too. I broke down and bought a hoodie because I love this place so much. 🥰

It was my first time experience here, I stopped by with my older brother to grab coffee and coffee beans for our expresso machine. The entire vibe of the place is cozy, mainly because of the Christmas decorations. The place has central heating, thankfully it made me feel warm from the cold weather outside. I had ordered their dark chocolate coconut mocha for take away - It had very little flavours of coconut, but mostly dark chocolate. Nonetheless it was a good refreshing drink!

Best coffee roasters in the South Bay Area! High marks for the vibe of the shop, the taste of the coffee, the knowledge of the staff, and overall experience. The Coffee: The coffee here is extremely fresh. They offer coffee from producers in South America. The coffee is recently roasted (ours was roasted 2 days ago when picked it up). The flavor is great. They offer decent varieties and the presentation is wonderful. PLUS, they give you a free coffee or cold brew with each bag! A little pricy but you pay for quality! Much better than the garbage you can buy at the supermarket that was roasted months ago. The location: We loved the vibe here! They have outdoor seating, the walls and hallways were decorated with art. It had a small town trendy feel and we stayed longer just to enjoy it! Parking is a little tight but you should be able to find a spot! Overall, 10/10 for a great coffee experience whether you’re looking to stock up or just enjoy a cold brew in the sun. Will return!

In my opinion the best coffee roaster in San Jose. Their roasting program is top notch with a wide variety of origins and processes - something for everyone. They make good espresso drinks too. Located inside of the same building as Hapa’s brewing. Use the entrance near the corner of Lincoln and Auzerais, follow the signs and go straight in and make a right. Chromatic is the first unit on your left behind a big barn-style door

Great coffee and a nice environment. We tried latte and dark coconut mocha, which were both delicious! Will definitely come back. It would be possible to order online, skip the line and just pick up your order. They sell packs of coffee beans with different flavors such as berries, peach, plum, chocolate fudge, etc. I suggest trying their delicious pies, too. They are from Sweet Dragon and Starter bakeries.

I was in the area and looked up coffee shops- this place had rave reviews. I was outside looking for the entrance, and a lovely gentleman showed me the way. All of the employees are friendly and welcoming. Their recommendation, based off of what I normally drink, was the Dulce de Leche Latte or coconut mocha. I chose the Dulce de Leche Latte. It was fantastic!!!!!! The flavor was just right and the temperature was perfect! I’d say it’s even better than blue bottle in Santana Row. Fabulous coffee shop.

Chromatic coffee for the lack of a better word is hip Cafe done right. Of the many Coffee shops that aspire to be in this category, majority of them get everything right, but the coffee. This is not the case of chromatic. As I walked in, the barista took time to explain the various kind of coffee is that they had and allowed me to ask questions. I went with a medium roast, and the coffee was truly phenomenal. Far cry from anything you get at any of the chains. I originally wanted to just get a cold brew which I have to be honest is a little expensive for just being a cold brew but then I decided to take some coffee beans as well, and they told me the cold brew is complimentary if you buy coffee beans. Win win. The cafe itself is located within warehouse of sorts and is extremely industrial looking. The space itself is huge inter spread with couple of metallic desk and chair. They had some food items as well, but I did not try any. You can buy coffee beans, T-shirts, and even colouring books. They are not cheap though. Even if you just come here for the coffee, you’ll have a good time.

I really dig the vibe of Chromatic. It's in a big industrial warehouse-type space, and has a lot of space for seating and just enjoying your coffee and food. The space also has some cool merch, nice music, and various coffee table books on offer for you to read while you relax. The staff were quite friendly, and the coffee and food was delicious. Can't really say I have any complaints. Cool coffee shop with a unique vibe. Definitely recommend checking it out if you're in the San Jose area!
