Barebottle Brewing Company - Santa Clara

barebottle pulls off the rare thing of being a brewery and a coffee destination without either side feeling like an afterthought. that combination sounds like a gimmick until you're actually there, on augustine drive in santa clara, where the surrounding office parks and tech campuses make a good, unhurried cup feel like something worth going out of your way for. the coffee program holds its own. you don't come here just because it's convenient to the 101 corridor, you come because the quality justifies the detour. well regarded locally, and not quietly, either. if you're navigating the north san jose sprawl and need somewhere that takes its coffee seriously, this address delivers. start with whatever's on espresso.
