Caffino Drive-Thru Espresso and Coffee

Had a great experience with Althea taking care of me. Great coffee. Super sweet barista (if they are called that outside Starbucks) Thank you for making my morning that much better.

Consistently delicious drinks and friendly service! Wish there were more all around town.

the best drive-​threw ever! they know me and my car and start my order when I pull up. they put starbucks to shame. when I have my dog with me they always have dog treats. if there is a long line they will bring my coffee to me while waiting to pay. they also issue a card that is stamped and after 9 stamps you get a free reg. any drink.
excellent!

Drive up, get my cup and away we go! What a great place! This is one of those places that you drive by without thinking twice. However it is one of those places you should quietly add to your list. I’m not sure why you would go to Starbucks and wait 4 or 5 cars deep than this place where you can get your cup and go with little or no wait.

I have found my new go to place for my coffee fix! This place has the best coffee hands down, my favorite is the Mocha Fresco with whip cream and caramel. Their price is very decent compared to Starbucks and the taste is just right, not too overly sweet. Their smoothies are delicious! My little one loved their kid size strawberry smoothie and pastry, needless to say we were very pleased. Its a drive thru place so we were in and out very quickly versus the dreadful long line at the Starbucks drive-​thru which always gets me running late. I would highly recommend this place, this is my new one stop shop for some delicious coffee and pastry at an affordable price quickly and conveniently, not to mention the kid sizes too!

I like their smoothies. But I’ve noticed you get a thick and rich drink when you tip. If you don’t give a tip, you’ll get a watered down smoothie. Customer service sucks and service is pretty slow which is sad, because I really like their drinks when made right.

I’m not a big fan of coffee but coffee here is really tasty for some reason. Not only coffee that is good but the smoothies are yummy too. Oh mocha’ lovers, try the hot mocha it’s sooo delicious!!! The owner lady is really nice here. I’ve ordered a wrong drink for my coworker this morning and she just gave it for free vs charging me for another drink.

My Favorite Café Mocha (hot & cold)! They also have both almond and soy milk substitutes.

I LOVE this place !! Every time I am in the mood for something sweet I come here. It is a drive — thru and very tiny but cute. When I come I order from the ‘Build your own milkshake menu’ and my order consists of Strawberries, Banana, Vanilla, Chocolate, and Cinnamon and it tastes delicious. The reason I gave it 4 stars is because when the girls that work there are taking your order they NEVER write anything down so you have to repeat your order about 4 times, I’m not kidding. Other then having to repeat my order I enjoy the shakes.

Its a very basic coffee shop. They’re quick and have decent customer service. I was served by two girls and one did all the talking, which isn’t bad but I hardly got a smile out of the quiet one. I got an iced coconut vanilla latte and the taste is very faint (which I love!) So I suggest if you like it sweeter, tell them or you won’t get what you want. They have plenty options and are willing to accommodate!

Love this place! I’m pretty picky when it comes to coffee (picky, not coffee snob haha) and their vanilla latte with soy was better than Starbucks! They also have very large sizes for less money than other coffee places. I got a 24 oz. latte and a Danish and paid $ 7. Today I went and got a 24 oz. chai latte, bagel and Danish and paid $ 6.50. It’s very convenient for the drive thru portion too! This is my new fav coffee place!

Drive thru service was quick and painless, they have a bunch of coffee to choose from. The quality of the coffee and price is really good compare to Starbucks. The location is great too. On the corner of homestead and Kiely, next to Popeyes chicken.

This place used to be the shit 2 – 3 years ago, but after new management cane along, its been going downhill. Workers aren’t fully knowledgeable about espresso drinks like how to make a soy peppermint mocha, and consistency isn’t really there anymore. One day my mocha is super sweet the next its perfect. Some workers can hold a nasty attitude while very few are genuinely friendly.
Convenient for making a pit stop to safeway or popeyes though! :D

This is a great coffee drive thru… aside from the convenience of being able to drive thru the staff is super friendly and attentive. The young man, Joe that works there is so great! I always request «no straw» and he remembers without me having to ask. Priced right, tasty and friendly– I’m a regular! !!

I haven’t been here for a good six months or even more than that, and I have to ask, «What happened to this place?!»
I ordered my usual classic caramel latte (iced), and it was bland with very little caramel! I remembered the coffee was stronger and it was slathered with caramel; all over the cup’s walls, and heaps on the bottom! I never had a bland latte here before, or one with no caramel flavor (for the caramel latte).
But before you say, oh maybe it was a fluke. Nope, my friend’s latte was just as bland. So we complained, got the owner to remake it for us, and guess what, the new lattes were not much of a difference from the previous ones. How is making four bad coffees in a roll a fluke?
No, it seems that they are just getting skimpy and cheap. The ingredients they are generous with are the milk and ice, and let’s face it, too much of that is what ruins the coffee.
Starbucks has stepped up their game with stronger coffees, so it is not the time for Caffino to get cheap.
I know I sound harsh, but I was very disappointed, since I was a loyal customer for a while now, and I don’t feel like paying $ 4.00 for a cup of milk and ice. I will not be coming back anytime soon.

I was desperate for caffeine in the morning and like most of us, I was in a rush. Low and behold I saw this little coffee shack in the middle of the parking lot which ended up being a drive-​thru. I pulled up talked to the Baristas and asked them what they are known for? They both asked «you like mocha?», off course I do! They recommend the coconut mocha. The Baristas are super friendly and make a good coconut mocha. I know where to go now when I am in a rush. I forgot to mention, they are quick too!

I love this place. I just tried the Red Velvet Cafino. Yummy! I also love there hot, blended and Ice mochas, as well as their espresso. They will make anything you want. My mom would always go to Cafino and get «The Heart attack Special». It’s a quadruple shot of espresso with 7 sugar packets and whipped cream on top. Crazy, but they do it. They are so friendly and accommodating and they give me bones for my dogs when they are in the car with me. Whenever I’m around that area I always try to stop for some coffee there. They are better than both Pete’s and Starbucks.

Great cup of coffee. Had the classic caramel latte with soy. Slightly sweet but savory, nutty taste. I usually drink my coffee black, but I really enjoyed this latte. Customer service was fantastic — she instantly thought of another drink so I didn’t have to pay for extra add-​ons.
The convenience of a drive-​thru is wonderful on long evenings. A bit hard to navigate into if you’re there for the first time (it’s not the CVS parking lot!) Smack dab in a lovely location in Cupertino.
Keep it classy, Caffino.

A review for Caffino is long overdue!
I love this place.
I always will.
I live in San Jose but I work all the way in Santa Clara. Caffino is so convenient for me because it’s so close to my job.
I literally get it every morning before I go to work. Seriously.
I always order the same thing. A 16 oz. or 24 oz. (depending on my mood) iced coffee with an extra shot of espresso, 4×4. Costs about ~$ 2.55. Half the cost of Starbucks.
And I think the coffee is a tad bit stronger, in my opinion. I tried pumpkin and banana syrup (not together) in it. So good! I’m planning on trying all the syrups. It’s on my bucket list.
Their customer service is always great. 9 times out of 10 they greet you with a smile on their face. I love that.
To be honest, I hardly, hardly ever go to Starbucks now! My love will forever be with Caffino. I hope they open one up closer to my house. I would go every single day.
I don’t remember all of their pastries, but I know for a fact they have croissants and different kinds of muffins for under $ 2 each. I’ve tried the almond and poppyseed muffin. Very moist and delicious!
If you haven’t had Caffino yet, try them!
P. S. If you can tip them, do it! They deserve every penny.

I’ve been looking for a non-​starbuck drive through near my house for the longest time. One day I was driving down homestead and decided to give this place a try. Man, why did I wait so long to do that?! Coffee is great! Service is unbeatable! Absolutely love the mocha fresco, perfect blend of chocolate and coffee. Yummmm~ When I pulled up the first time, the cute guy working had the biggest smile on his face. Give him the employee of the year award already! That guy deserves it!
Location is extremely convenient for me since it’s on my route to school and the Santa Clara library. Be careful when navigating around the lot though, it’s a tiny place and can be pretty packed during rush hours. I really wish Caffino is not only limited to drive, with drinks that good, I would love to enjoy it with a good book rather than slurping it in my car like a Macky D’s coke.
