Teaspoon Los Altos

the matcha latte here gets ordered a lot for good reason. teaspoon on el camino real in los altos has built a following that's genuinely local, the kind that shows up on weekday mornings because they trust what's in the cup, not because it's the closest option. you'll probably notice how unhurried the whole thing feels, which is rarer than it should be along this stretch of the peninsula. the menu leans into tea-based drinks alongside espresso, so if you've been defaulting to the same flat white everywhere, this is a reasonable place to reconsider that habit. los altos runs quieter than most of the towns flanking it on 101, and teaspoon fits that register without being sleepy about it. start with the brown sugar boba if you want something worth coming back for.
