When you walk into MoonBean’s Coffee in San Jose, you’ll notice a few things right away. 

First, you’ll see the shop’s in-house roaster (which looks sort of like a small steam engine) dominating one side of the shop, and you’ll smell the enticing aroma of roasting coffee beans. Second, as you place your order at the counter, you’ll find yourself peering into the big glass display cases filled with freshly baked pastries. Choose a croissant to pair with your latte for a truly decadent breakfast, or select a blueberry muffin to go with your herbal tea after lunch. 

Whatever you choose, you can be sure that the baristas will prepare it for you with care and attention, as this place has a reputation for outstanding customer service. Free Wi-Fi means that you’ll find the tables here filled with folks working quietly on their computers, which makes it a good spot to settle down and catch up on your own email while you sip your drink.
