This is my favorite spot for a sandwich and some coffee especially after a morning hike. My go-to recommendation is the Breakfast BLT. The bacon on it is mouthwatering delicious!! I’ve taken multiple friends and family here and they’ve all become fans too. If you’re already exploring Los Gatos, Purple Onion Café is absolutely worth the pit-stop.

Love POC, but what happened to the amazing blueberry scones?! Apple and raisin scones? Yuck. Bring back the blueberry scones please!!

Great place to get lunch or a coffee. They have a wide variety of different food and drink items. Turkey cranberry sandwich was delicious!

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

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.
Good cafe with various breakfast options.
