A.M. Craft
481 E San Carlos St, San Jose, CA
Crema's Take
“A.M. Craft is a cozy, unpretentious espresso haven where the owner Mike clearly knows every regular by name, and the carefully crafted drinks—like their standout Gingerbread Latte with perfectly balanced spice and silky microfoam—justify the devoted following. It's the rare coffee shop that nails both the experience and the coffee itself, with a calm, tree-lined interior that somehow stays peaceful even on weekends, making it feel less like a caffeine pit stop and more like a neighborhood living room.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings.

Visited A.M. Craft today and ordered the Gingerbread Latte. Honestly, it was one of the best lattes I’ve had around here — super creamy, warm spice flavor, not too sweet, and the latte art was a nice touch. The place feels peaceful with great natural light, and the staff seems…
This place has such a calming energy to it. I went on a weekend expecting it to be over crowded, but it was pretty quiet, and I was able to get a very nice seat by the tree. The overall place is quite small but cozy and it is in a really nice neighbourhood, so you can really…
A.M. Craft is what you hope every coffee shop experience will be! The coffee is phenomenal... I compare every other coffee shop to here, and they generally all fall short. Chef and owner, Mike will make drinks to order and hits the mark every time! Pastries are fresh and…
