Haiku Teahouse

I tried the hojicha black sesame latte at Haiku and I am absolutely obsessed with it! The hojicha itself is really good and you can really taste the black sesame flavor (likely because they use a house made black sesame milk). At 25% sweetness, the drink is perfect to me. I was visiting San Jose and went to Haiku almost daily to get this drink. I will make sure to stop by every time I am in the area from now on. There is a dedicated free parking garage and some limited indoor seating (maybe 3-4 tables). They are dog friendly and there is also a bathroom. The shop was pretty busy each time I visited but the staff was friendly and pretty quick. I definitely recommend coming to Haiku for the hojicha black sesame latte if that kind of drink is your thing.

The seasonal pistachio cream top series is so fresh and good. If you prefer your drinks not too sweet, use 25% sugar. Both the matcha and hojicha latte taste high quality. The store may be understaffed though as the drinks took about 15 mins or more.

My favorite hidden gem matcha spot! The matcha tastes super high quality and I love the aesthetic! They have the best selection of drinks, the corn latte 😋 is great for a caffeine free drink and the matcha with pistachio cream is 🔥 🔥. Also good atmosphere to hang out for a while. The capybara stickers and pins are so cute, made by a local artist.

Great place to get work done, enjoy your afternoon coffee. The team there are super helpful and willing to explain any questions you might have. Haiku Teahouse is always coming out with seasonal special and very consistent with each of their drinks. They have a rewards system as well so make sure to join their rewards program to take advantage of any promotions or deals they might have. You can order directly with them at the counter or you can order from their kiosk. Overall I would definitely come back and would recommend to anyone who’s looking for a coffee or tea. Side note their Vietnamese coffee is very strong so be prepared 😬

The iced black sesame latte was 🔥🔥🔥 loved the silky smoothness and it was at the perfect sweetness. Retail parking in the structure was super easy, store smelled amazing the second you walk in. Plenty of seating with outlets indoors, pup friendly seating outdoors. First time trying the trending banana matcha -- really liked the banana foam on top, balancing out the matcha perfectly. Other people really enjoyed their drinks too. Super caring service from staff members -- they really wanted to make sure you like your drink. Appreciated the modern day tea house vibes and will definitely be a regular 💗
