Dr.ink

"The iced Dark Chocolate drink was a nice blend of coffee and chocolate. Slightly overpriced. But overall, a cute & chill place."

"Good place to try unique drinks , 2nd time here and I love both the taste of the coffee its definitely different they rotate seasonal drinks every few months. Located right next to San Pedro square there is plenty of food to pair the coffee with."

"Dr. Ink is a welcome addition to the downtown San Jose cafe scene. Located on a block adjacent to San Pedro Square Market, the modern space with high ceilings and polished concrete floors overlooks some of the new high rise apartment buildings. The drink menu has many unique creations such as the dense and flavorful Black Sesame Latte and cream tops of the Cinnamon Latte and Butterscotch Latte. The barista uses a butane torch to caramelize the top of the drink. The cinnamon sticks are a nice touch in the Cinnamon Latte. They also have high quality pure unblended teas, "Fruthie" (fruit and tea) and "Ink" (milk-blended) and tasty sparkling drinks. As another bonus, there is a seasonal menu on the counter that has four unique drinks to mix things up for regular customers. The pastries also look like they are from a reputable partnering bakery such as Alexander's Patisserie or Maison Alyzee. There is also a rack and shelves with craft coffee, shirts and mugs for sale. If you are looking for creative coffee and fruit drinks in downtown San Jose other than the usual espresso bar and pour over fare, Dr. Ink is your best bet."

"It’s all street and paid parking in this area. Better if you have someone who can drop you off and hang out while you order then come pick you up. The service was quick. I got the seasonal sweet corn latte. I loved it! I love corn milk tea and anything corn. First time having it as a coffee version. Also got the mango furthie which was blended. Tastes like a creamy fruit smoothie. Also delicious. All drinks are one size. They also serve small pastries like Korean Kim chi bear claw, egg Sando, croissants and buns. There are merchandise and coffee beans to purchase."

"One of several coffee shops I rotate between downtown. I like their various specialty drinks that they make - usually with an appropriate topping, which I like. They also tend to have a different variety of pastries, not typical of other coffee shops, but still very interesting. I usually get their dark chocolate mocha, or recently their peanut butter mocha, with a peanut butter wafer topping. When they have it, I like their egg custard bun with an orange slice on top - both esthetic and tasty. The location itself does not have a lot of seating, so not one of my favorite places when I want to set up and work, but still very cozy for a short stopover. The staff is friendly and works hard to make the customers happy. Only it is sad that sometimes the pastries don't get delivered...."
