Attempted to order (off menu) a lavender matcha latte. While they didn't have the lavender syrup, the barista offered to attempt it with the lavender tea they had on hand. The suggestion hit the spot and I think tastes even better than with syrup!

Tldr: very solid specialty coffee and tasty Manresa pastries
Also included: your brain unable to comprehend this level of quality from a coffee shop inside of a car dealership. Their secret is apparently hiring someone who really knows what they're doing and letting them handle things end-to-end. It's brilliant, really.
I just moved back from New York, which has a solid coffee scene and there is almost nothing above moderately ok in this area, especially not in walking distance. Don't get me started on Santana Row/valley fair options.
But something I struggled to find in NYC were incredibly buttery croissants, toasted to order. Bless Manresa.
Also: lots and lots of outlets and table space, if you're into that kind of thing
