Aztec mocha was nice. Good balance of milk without being watery. The chocolate is smooth and not overpowering.Plenty of seating with shade.

Nice ambience...but a coffee shop should have great coffee. I was looking for a 16oz mocha...but they only offer 12oz hot drinks??? Really? I ordered an iced mocha (which is available in 16oz size) ...and it basically tasted like chocolate milk. No espresso taste at all. At $8.00 (almond milk) it should have enough espresso to taste.

How incredibly classy! This is a delightful space in Saratoga. Absolutely amazing coffee served in the most beautiful of pottery creations done in house. I would go there for the coffee as much as I would for the time spent at the shop. I tried their the home made jams/preserve and it was truly delicious. Places like these light up the cafe culture with their uniqueness and character.

Good coffee. Not as much food, but there are a couple of sandwiches, and a couple of pastries. Every time I come, they are out of pastries. But the coffee is tasty.

Came here on a Sunday morning before a hike at Castle Rock! This place is extremely cute and very very hipster with the indoor pottery collection and cute vibes. Its both a coffee shop and a small patisserie with really tasty jams! I would recommend the earl grey jam since it almost tastes like ice cream and the bread is extremely fluffy.

Cute little place in downtown Saratoga. Some outdoor seating area. Coffees are pretty good here.

Used to be so good! For a long time, they served Sightglass Coffee as an option, and it was amazing. They’ve always been really slow, but it was still worth it since the coffee and people were great. In the meantime, they’ve lost a lot of the great baristas, they don’t serve Sightglass (instead a local roaster called Kenz, which just isn’t that great unless you like really dark coffee), and they’re still pretty slow. I would love to support local coffee shops, but this one went from being my favorite to one I just don’t go to anymore.

A boutique quaint coffee shop away from the madding crowds of downtown Saratoga serves up hand crafted coffee and a selection of baked goods.They take pride in decorating their lattes. The only thing they could do better... -make their coffee hotter when asked. Their good looking, broad brimmed, stone coffee cups dont help keep the coffee hot.

Nice location, good interior, miss on coffee. Coffee drinks are not consistent, often times sour and not properly balanced. More about the experience and less about amazing coffee. Can get crowded with the majority of seating outside. Limited seating on first floor and very tight seating on second smaller loft area. Also seating in shop area but feels removed from coffee experience. Nice place to hang out for a bit while in Saratoga.

Review №18

Rating based on just a pour over I got from here. It was good but more like Saragota prices for a less than Philz coffee. The cafe itself is quite nice and well located. Good amount of outdoor seating that helped social distancing. There is plenty of street parking since the cafe is close to main street but still far enough.

Delicious drinks, average price. My favorite part of Sues cafe was the vibe. It’s very peaceful and serene. I went here when it was very busy and it still felt calm and relaxing. I will definitely be coming back.I go an iced Carmel latte with almond milk. Good quality espresso and baristas work quick!

Review №24

A nice place to read, study, work, relax, chat with friends. Very relaxing background music and artistic display of pottery and art work. There are many out door sittings. Indoor seatings are in two separate rooms, and also seats upstairs as well. Its a bit inconvenient to get the coffee when not in the same room though. The cafe is surrounded by trees and at end of the city street. Very nice setting! The americano is great. The latte is lukewarm but taste great!

Review №25

Cute breakfast/brunch place and coffee shop for a light meal and coffee. I ordered the milk bread with earl grey milk spread and yuzu marmalade. The earl grey milk spread was amazing - the flavor was so tasteful and the texture was very smooth. The milk bread was soft on the inside and lightly crunchy/toasted on the outside - also ideal. The yuzu marmalade was decent, but the earl grey was definitely better.

This place is awesome as they have nice sitting areas (indoor, outdoor, and upstairs). The pastry and coffee are amazingly good and staff are super friendly too. I go there whenever I ride my bike on the weekend. Give them a try and you wont be disappointed.

The best coffee every time I come here! Perfect cappuccinos and lattes, delicious cold brews, plus amazing savory and sweet pastries. Baristas are always friendly here. They have a reward system, so one day you can get couple of dollars off your order

Very good for craft coffee, drinks are very strong and made well. The baristas take their time here and make sure you like your order. Super sophisticated place with a community vibe. It’s very quiet and a great place to study. There’s books too which I like :)

Review №32

As Ive said before, coffee or tea out is a big treat, so Im quite picky about where we go. Sues has been at the top of the visit list since discovering it. Favorite drinks have been the matcha latte and golden latte. If youre looking for a yummy tea, the yuzu tea is good iced or cold. If you havent tried the toast there, Id highly recommend it because their jams are delicious! As an earl grey lover, the earl grey milk jam is a fave and the yuzu marmalade is a close second (you can buy the jam jars next door at the gallery!). The matcha milk jam is delish too, its impossible to have too much matcha, right?Street parking available, lots of seating indoor (+loft and gallery) and out. Its a great place to meet up and hang or even to study!

This place is fantastic, and Im sad it took me this long to visit it for the first time.The coffee was exceptional, with the most beautiful design (comparing to some of the world champions in Hong Kong).The service was outstanding, every single person behind the counter was super sweet and made the experience even more special.The ambiance is also really awesome, with blankets for the colder days, a second floor for seclusion, and an outside patio in caser your pup is tagging along with you.Ill be coming back for sure :)

Nice place at the end of downtown saratoga. Go to second level for a quieter study place or sits outside to enjoy the atmosphere. Pastries are okay, the toasts with paste is thick but could use more time.

Chill, cool, great quality coffee. All drinks are served in their own ceramics (can be bought here as well). Awesome place to stop for a cup of coffee after a hike in Sanborn park (which is also awesome).

Super cute cafe and superb staff! Perfect for studying or getting work done. Great table space and good amount of outlets.Theres two separate buildings, and I primarily was working in the one to the left. There is a second level with a couple tables, which can probably seat at least 10 people. Adequate outlets for laptop work. We checked out the right side, and it seemed like the quieter work area. At the time there were two customers and a staff member there.They have beautiful ceramic ware and cups which is something that seems to be their specialty. Tried their matcha latte and the decaf latte, and both were delicious! Maybe next time will check out their pastries too!I wish I lived closer to this cafe...

Very nice Matcha Latte and coffee latte, and pastries are also yummy. People are friendly too. The shop is located in a quite area, so its very relaxing to take a break there. It would be much nicer if they upgrade the outdoor seating to bring the overall dining experience to a closer level of their high quality pottery products in the gallery.

Review №48

In A Nutshell:-Sues Gallery Cafe is a cool place that a friend showed me located in Saratoga.-With a rich Korean background, the two buildings are interconnected.-One is the two-story cafe, which serves a very cool Charcoal Latte (order it!).-The flavor is burnt-coconut initially, but then the charcoal does its thing, which sucks up all the flavor, which preps your palate for the next sip.-Upstairs is small & lofty, where you can cram your next college-exam or catch up w/ your friend(s).-The building next door is where pottery is made & displayed as art & for sale.-Some of the pottery are used as the vessels which carry your favorite caffeinated drink in the previous building.-Theres plenty of outside seating in the patio too.Overall, this is a hidden-gem, which you need to come discover & support this awesome local business!

I just love this place! the area is right on the bottom of the Saratoga hills in a peaceful location. The coffee is pretty good, mainly med-light roast options. I love the seating area upstairs as well! The cafe is attached to a ceramic gallery which you can stop by and look at the different mugs for sale!

Very nice and romantic place. We visited Sues Gallery Cafe with my wife Saturday morning - she found the referrence in some FB group. The place is really beautiful. It was a rainy day, so the air was full of the forest aromas due to Saratoga geolocation. The only minor issue - initially we tried to take a sit upsters on the second floor (because the cashier told us its a quite popular place there) but the air there smells with the cuisine from below. In result we relocated to the gallery store on the first floor. Cheerful and responsive staff, very good location, nice interior.

Review №65

Located somewhat in a quite area, almost end of downtown Saratoga. Nice high ceiling for downstairs seating and addl seats are available in the upstairs loft. Bright, but a bit small and crowded seating indoors. There are some outdoor seatings. Addl attraction is the pottery workshop next door with more seating. Unfortunately, coffee was average and small; the yuzu tea was just one small spoonful of yuzu from the can. Snacks/deserts were very limited when we were there.

Kind of an artsy and unique place. The jelly for the today has flavors like matcha and yuzu marmalade. Coffee quite good. Other pastries also nice. The space is a bit odd - you can sit inside, outside, upstairs, or across a small breezeway... So dont give up if you dont see a seat immediately. Overall, very nice.

I dont know why this place is highly rated? Its nice but not 5 . Pretty standard customer service. Got a simple pour over coffee. Tasted alright. I really didnt check out where they get their coffee beans from. They also were out of baked goods. I was only really there for the coffee though.Next time Im in the area I will give them another try.

Great place to catch up with friends or get some work done. There is ample seating, and I always manage to find a spot, even on weekends. I love that it’s a family owned business and it’s really becoming a community staple. Though they do use their own beautiful handmade mugs for warm drinks, my one complaint is that they don’t use reusable cups for their iced drinks. Nevertheless, it’s nice to see a Korean-owned cafe, I definitely appreciate their selection of pastries and drinks... favorites include the toast w/ earl grey butter, yuzu lemonade, and charcoal latte.

Sues Gallery Café is such a cute and minimalist cafe that has great drinks and pastries. Its a small cafe that has two floors of seating, plus seating outdoors. Its a perfect place to come and relax, talk with friends, or study at.《Parking》In my experience, I usually parked on the street or park blocks away closer to the downtown part of Saratoga where they have parking lots behind the businesses.《Food & Drinks》I usually order their Matcha latte, both cold and hot drinks. If you order lattes hot, they make such pretty latte art! I wish I could create such art like they do. My second time coming here, I ordered their cream puffs. They didnt put it out on display, so I was afraid they ran out since its usually a hit or a miss to get. Apparently some people will buy out their whole supply for the day, making them run out. I was lucky that day and got both Vanilla and Matcha flavored cream puffs!! Both were filled nicely with their cream inside, with sprinkled powder on top. Theyre ($3.75) each cream puff, and in decent size. I couldnt believe how perfect they were, in taste and in appearance!! I will be back for more.
