All of the coffees and teas that Chromatic uses and receives are from local distributors in the San Jose area.

Chromatic Coffee claims to have originated the drink.

The staff is very friendly, approachable and informative about the menu and any questions or concerns regarding the shop. The layout of the bar is open, so customers are able to speak to the baristas making the drinks and watch how the baristas make the drinks if you stand on the side of the bar.

Chromatic Coffee has art displayed along the walls throughout the shop. They rotate the art that is displayed every month. Chromatic accepts art from local galleries, artist, and people who are willing to have their work shown. If interested in having your art possibly being displayed, contact store for more information.
