This is one hidden gem up in the hills. Who would have thought that you could get such great coffee so far out. Very impressive roasts and flavors. One of my favorite secret cafe.

Great little local roaster in the middle of the burbs, nice pastries and coffee from beans roasted on premise.

★★★★☆ — Michael, 2021-08

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! I first discovered Emerald Hills at their pop-up stand at the College of San Mateo farmer's market, where a friend clued me in to their excellent coffee and, to my surprise, some of the best quesabirria I've ever had.
