50 Best Coffee Shops in San Jose

“come with family and enjoy“

“A.M. Craft is what you hope every coffee shop experience will be! The coffee is phenomenal... I compare every other coffee shop to here, and they generally all fall short. Chef and owner, Mike will make drinks to order and hits the mark every time! Pastries are fresh and delicious! Wait times are short, and the shop is cute and friendly. When I stopped in this morning, staff knew the name of every person that walked through the door and greeted them personally, including me. Way to start the day off right!“

“I only buy my coffee beans here! I have tried multiple places and the quality just isn't the same. I usually buy two bags, Kenya and Ethiopia. Both have great flavors and aromas! If you make your own coffee at home, I would definitely recommend buying their beans! I also occasionally buy their Nutella latte, iced, and that is also a good drink if you want something with some flavor!“

“Just walked in randomly from one of my walks. This space is really tiny, but cozy. When I walked, then it was really empty, and I was only customer. I wasn’t feeling like coffee, so I got the drink with mango and Boba and coconut milk. It was thick and tasty and very rich. I also got the banana bread to go with it and it was an okay banana bread. Nothing special. I wouldn’t probably come here to have a cafe experience, but rather to just get coffee on the go.“

“Such a cozy little gem in San Jose. The coffee was rich and smooth, and the vibe was super chill😊“

“Cute place to do work, a couple of tables/seats and the service was good and fast! I do agree with others who said that $7 for a drink that is fairly small is a bit expensive. However I do appreciate that they have cool fun flavors. Also be mindful that theres not a lot of outlets if you are there to do work.“

“su aroma , único q ka distingue“

“Loving all the food and clean place“

“Amazing coffee and everyone who works there is beyond lovely! It’s a family favourite!“

“Really loved this spot. The cafe is small but super cute. 😊“

“Networking, co-working, commercial interior design, and robot coffee & tea. Everything you need for your Sili Valley startup ? ! Jennifer and Miguel hosting“

“If you come to Roam Bean Coffee and you don't know what to choose, Egg Coffee is also a correct choice, believe me you will not be disappointed 😍“

“This place had all the vibes of the perfect donut shop, from the delicious donuts to the lovely atmosphere. Stopped by on break to grab an apple fritter, which was excellent, and the jelly filled options are also excellent. The shop owners were kind and inviting, and I highly recommend everyone stop by to try out their selection. (note: they are cash only, but there is an ATM on site)

Parking: Parking in San Francisco is either super easy or impossible, depending on how lucky you are.

Wheelchair accessibility: Super accessible, at street level and the sidewalk has ramps just in front of the building.“

“Amazing choice of ipas ! Always great service and the best atmosphere !“

“If you're ever in San Jose and craving a fresh, early-morning treat, Rollo Donuts at 602 N 13th St, San Jose, CA is a must-visit! 🍩✨

They open as early as 4 AM, making it the perfect stop for early risers and commuters. We tried their apple fritters, glazed donuts, and chocolate-glazed donuts — and wow! Every bite was soft, airy, and had just the right amount of sweetness. Not overly sugary, just balanced and delicious.

They also serve croissant sandwiches, baked fresh daily — so it’s not just donuts here!

Located in the heart of San Jose, this cozy neighborhood spot gives off warm, welcoming vibes and seriously delivers on flavor.

📍 Fresh. Local. Worth the stop.“

“love the staff, coffee, non gmo milk and miss my pals I hung with moved down south.“

“Mmmf, mmmf. Orange cardamom and Valrhona chocolate chip cookies. Oh, and coffee.“

“Tōno is a pretty cool little spot to grab a coffee. Not a huge selection of stuff, but given that it’s kind of a popup situation, that’s to be expected. What they do have is quite nice, however. The latte was delicious, and the PB&J rice crispy treat was quite good as well.

Definitely recommend checking this place out. Do check their IG for hours, though. Google seems to be showing this place as being temporarily closed, but as of writing this, they aren’t.“

“Yummmmy“

“super atención!! Super limpio y sobre todo la comida DELICIO S A!!“

“Thank you Con Azucar Cafe for blocking out an hour for our gym fam! We hosted a party bus for our gym families for christmas and our first stop was this cafe, due to the amount of people we had, the cafe kindly closed for us for an hour and we were so grateful!, considering we had many toddlers and children. They loved the giant Abuelita hot cocoa and the giant Gingerbread. It was the perfect treat! Clean restrooms, beautiful space, great service & good coffee!“

“Best coffee ever! Open till 2pm“

“Popped in because I was nearby getting groceries and hadn’t eaten. Never seen/heard of it before so the layout confused me at first because no one was at the “register” and I couldn’t distinguish it from the pickup area. Once I got my bearings and was ready to order, the person who came over didn’t greet me or seem friendly. It didn’t feel like there was an obvious waiting area if you’re just getting takeout because the space next to the pickup area was narrow (due to more/rearranged furniture not seen in other reviews’ pics), so I sat a ways away by the window. It was loud and my hearing is poor enough that I didn’t hear when one of my items was ready. Still, managed to get both items and went on my way. The cinnamon twist pastry was yummy and satisfied the craving I had for a cinnamon roll without being overly sweet. I wanted to try the sausage mushroom quiche as well but they were out so I swapped for the sun dried tomato and it was delicious.“

“Ordered for the office and everyone loved their sandwiches! Delicious food, very friendly service!“

“Breakfast Plate, Green Smoothie!“

“I popped into the Cupertino location as I was visiting my son in the valley for a week. I’m an author and suggested to Billy the manager that I have a book signing and he was enthusiastic. I did have the book signing. It went very well. I sold some books people had fun and I had met so many nice people. I will definitely be back there when I’m in the valley.“

“Acha is a decent spot to grab some coffee or boba (or both). They open nice and early, which is somewhat uncommon for places that offer boba. For me, sometimes I want a little something different with my morning coffee, so it's nice that I can come here for that.

The inside of the shop is pretty decent, but the general area and strip mall is a little questionable. Even with that, you can tell they are putting in a good amount of effort to try and make the shop feel nice.

Service was okay. A little slow, but not too bad all things considered. Could have been because I was there early. Your mileage may vary.“

“I just have to say that I had the most wonderful service at Starbucks this morning. I have been coming in consistently to get my iced vanilla latte and breakfast sandwiches this past week and between yesterday and today, I had to replace my debit card due to suspicious activity. I was issued a temporary card which doesn’t include the chip and upon ordering my usual order, my card was not being accepted. I didn’t realize that it didn’t have a chip until it was too late, and we tried other options to accept it, but it wouldn’t work.

My barista was Blair, and he had consistently seen me coming in over the course of the past week as well. He was so sweet and kind, and as I’m scrambling to figure out what else I can do, he actually covered my coffee and sandwiches. I was absolutely shocked and replied to him, “Seriously? Omg, are you sure?” it was so unexpected and it was incredibly gracious of him to do that for someone.

I really enjoy coming to this particular Starbucks because it is all inclusive and filled with diverse people who really do care and pay attention to their customers. I always see regulars coming in with big smiles and the social interactions are always positive. I know this isn’t relative for every location , and there are Starbucks on every corner in the city, but this is certainly one that takes the cake for me and will always appreciate the team who works there.“

“I love the Cafe Latte w/ Almond Milk and Earl Grey Latte w/ Almond Milk, very satisfied with the hot drinks.“

“.....................,.,,,“

“a great snack time and place to go, enjoy it😀😆😎“

“Egg coffee 10/10 , must try!“

“Lovely coffee shop if it is in your neighborhood. I find myself craving their Turkey sandwich because it has such a good homestyle flavor. I am a fan of their Vietnamese coffee. I would give it a shot if you go for your groceries at Lucky or need to make a return to UPS“

“Always tasty. We usually get one veggie and one meat special.“

“The broth is very flavorful and meat ball are good. But the rare steak was rather chewy. But the disappointment came from the popcorn chicken. They gave picture posted everywhere in the restaurant even the menu will show a picture of TAIWANESE style popcorn chicken. But if you can see my photo the chicken looks nothing like Taiwanese popcorn chicken. I made a comment about how my chicken don’t match the photo of what is shown on menu and owner say this is how his chicken is and always been and his customer like it that way. Ok great then change your photo. Don’t falsely advertise something you’re not selling“

“Very nice people, fresh bagels, different types,“

“I placed an order (through 3rd party vendors) and got an exceptional customer service experience. Thank you so much! I would definitely recommend Izumi Matcha and will be returning again and again.“

“I was very charmed by this local donut spot. It is an older establishment (so a little run down which honestly just added to the whole experience for me) but very affordable and clean. Good donuts (very generous raspberry filling), tasty breakfast sandwich, hot diner coffee, the sweetest lady behind the counter, and regulars who were happy to see each other.“

“Best coffee in town And they’re pastries is excellent nice atmosphere of the people are great“

“A small hidden local gem. Yes. it's a water store... but also good prices for coffees, halo halo and huge shaved ice with small hawaiian store. Some good coffee beans. Who would've thought getting water could be an experience. and the halo halo is packed. trying boba ice cream next time“

“GREAT garoto coffee...the espresso with foamy milk.. so smooth, not bitter nor too strong. The portuguese cheese and prosciutto sandwich was good but next time will not get it toasted as the cold cheese itself is wonderful! the Pasteis di nata are the best littleegg tarts as I found them to be a bit dry, but then again get another coffee! Owner was so friendly and the place adequate for being an older establishmen.“

“Just love the berry pies. Goes just perfect with my morning coffee and dinner meals. Just love the blueberry pie with the delicious crust. If The Giving Pies keep makin’em I’ll keep eat’em.🥰“

“It was good. We went right as they opened and they were quick to get to us. The food was not super seasoned, i felt like i had to put a lot of salt to bring out flavors and because we went when it opened, a lot of the options we wanted were still frozen. The waiters were nice and accommodating, think it’ll be better a bit after they open.“

“I am a little biased, I've loved this place for years! I have to hit up a Philz coffee anytime I am in the Bay Area. First time at this location, but the service was excellent like always. Coffee was on point. I got the mint monitor and step dad got honey. Both were great.“

“Greeted warmly as i entered and met a friendly smile at the register. It was my 1st time at this location, Almaden, and very surprised by the great variety of offerings. I went with the portobello mushroom panini and tomato bisque soup. YUM YUM delicious 😋 Looking forward to coming back with my squad and trying different items. Come check this!“

“Rush to buy their breakfast for the first time. The taste is very good. Can go to try😁“

“Did not really get what I ordered today but I didn’t want to flaster the kid that took my order.“

“Come and join Peet's El Paseo family!“

“I've been here a couple of times. The donuts always taste great and hit the spot. The owner is always kind and courteous and even throws in some extra donut holes for my kids. Id highly recommend you stop by if you're in the area.“

“Absolutely delicious!! So good actually we forgot to take photos. The crust, sooooo flakey, buttery yumminess. Love how many options they have, including vegetarian and event dessert style!

The service impeccable. It felt like the family opened their home to share their special food with us.

Still tasting the Choriqueso Empanada-Like a warm hug. Don’t forget to ask for the extra hot sauce!!“
