Great fresh food, helpful staff. The only downsides are that it can get really busy at lunchtime because of students from the high school, and if you sit outside, be aware that it's a busy corner and can get quite noisy from the traffic. Otherwise it's excellent. I love the Ahi Superfood Salad, ate every bite!

Absolutely LOVED my gluten free breakfast sandwich on a gf baguette. The overnight oats were also excellent (and gluten free). Really great.

This is a stand in line cafe. There is no table service. The staff is friendly enough. I wished they cleaned the tables more often. The food however is consistently fresh tasty and well made. The cookies are delicious.

PO is pretty consistently good. They have lots of meat on the menu but also vegan and vegetarian options (hey, overnight oats and breakfast/egg croissant). They also provide reusable silverware: while I bring my own, it's nice to have the option. Outdoor vs indoor seating available. Sometimes I wish the staff were a little friendlier, but it works.

Sad to see that what was once a very cool place has gone downhill tremendously and quality and prestige. Sure the location is gray and has acute outside, but if that’s about it, the coffee is mediocre, and the food is overpriced. If that wasn’t enough, they try to charge me $1.50 for half and half into my coffee. What a joke!

My son loves their BBB Pork sandwich and Tomato soup combo and we get it for him at least once a week now. I usually get their vegetarian sandwich and they are delicious. Also the croissant is enormous. I did try their cappuccino and it was not great but it wasn’t terrible. But as ya’all know the cappuccino can taste vastly different based on who makes it so I think it’s okay for me.I have dined in, did multiple take outs, and usually get them delivered.
A great place for a quick bite and/or coffee. The menu is varied. A plus is a fair amount of inside seating and plenty of natural light. ?️ can be tight during peak hours.

Purple Onion is in a very nice location on Main Street in Downtown Los Gatos, perfect for sitting & watching the world go by while you eat. The food is very fresh. The California taco salad, egg & bacon breakfast sandwich and turkey cranberry sandwich are excellent. The grilled veggie focaccia was very fresh, but could have used some seasoning. Easily solved with a bit of salt & pepper, though. Overall, strong recommend for this lovely little lunch spot.
Parking: Parking can be difficult on the weekends, weekdays you can usually find a close spot.

The Purple Onion Cafe in Downtown Los Gatos is a step up in service from your average cafe. The egg and bacon breakfast sandwich I got was delicious and worth the price. This is something I rarely find myself saying these days. Relative to the amount of customers they were handling, both my drink and meal came out quickly. The employees were diligent, focused, and professional. I'll definitely be returning if I crave a high class, cafe treat.

Great place to have coffee and breakfast after a long hike on Sunday morning. I should do this more often.
