3 Bees Coffee: Reviews & Ratings
Coffee is great. Service is fast and welcoming. Definitely a good quick stop on the way to start your day.
Such a cute spot in San Mateo!! Their piroshkis and empanadas were the perfect and tasty snack for my daughter and I. We paired them with an iced Mocha and their iced Matcha latte.
Loved my experience at Three Bees Coffee House, the delicious vanilla latte and my interaction with Rafat the owner. As a supporter of small business, it was easy to be a fan of Three Bees. Not only were their drinks tasty, I can also appreciate the hard work he has put in over the past 20 years since he opened the business. This will now be my go to place for coffee, open 7 days a week. Check out the Three Bees Coffee House for tasty beverages and to support small business in San Mateo.
Very good lattes! I was glad they had a variety of sugar free flavors too. The staff were friendly and we enjoyed sitting on the stools by the window. Our bagels were perfectly toasted. I like the relaxed vibe and music.
This coffee shop is very homey. I felt like everyone was family and it's thanks to the customer service and locals who were very friendly. They don't have oatmilk but their soymilk latte hit different, so I can't complain! If I lived in the area, I would always be here.
Family owned business, we come here regularly. We like this alternative to the big chain coffee shops. Outdoor and indoor seating. It's like a European shop. Great service, coffee and ambience!
Excellent cafe & ambience, a local gem downtown with an outdoor parklet Food options include baked goods, fruit, some breakfast items. All dairy free milks available. Service is very quick--expect espresso drinks in under 3 minutes
Don't forget to check in on Yelp to get 20% off when you spend $5.00 or more. ( We forgot to check in. We saw the deal after we left the cafe) This cute little mom and pop coffee shop is located right in the heart of downtown San Mateo. They have indoor and outdoor seating. There are metered parking spots right outside of this establishment. There's also a parking garage close by. We were greeted by the friendly owner upon entering the cafe. We ordered the caramel macchiato and the chai tea with almond milk. The caramel macchiato is flavorful and it wasn't too sweet, which we really liked. The chai tea with almond milk was so sweet that we couldn't taste the chai. It was like drinking hot almond milk. The was the worst chai tea that we ever had. We were disappointed with this beverage. This cafe had a great variety of baked goods for sale. The Turkish delights, banana bread, and the lemon bread looked really good. We'll be back to try their other beverages and baked goods.
