50 Best Coffee Shops in San Jose

“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.“

“I really dig the vibe of Chromatic. It's in a big industrial warehouse-type space, and has a lot of space for seating and just enjoying your coffee and food. The space also has some cool merch, nice music, and various coffee table books on offer for you to read while you relax.

The staff were quite friendly, and the coffee and food was delicious. Can't really say I have any complaints. Cool coffee shop with a unique vibe. Definitely recommend checking it out if you're in the San Jose area!“

“come with family and enjoy“

“Super trendy go-to spot for coffee. Not only is the atmosphere amazing but the staff and drinks are as well! During lunch time you can expect a wait but the staff are transparent about it and always do their best.

Their espresso is high quality and has a robust, full-bodied profile. You know the coffees about to be hella good when there's a lot of crema from the espresso shot. I really recommend any of their latte or americano drinks!“

“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!“

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

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

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

“Loving all the food and clean place“

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

“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!“

“Egg coffee 10/10 , must try!“

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

“compared to other places with matcha drinks, Acha is the only one that isn't greedy with the amount of matcha they put in. and it's sweetness levels are better than other places like Izumi matcha and teaspoon.
the lychee drink is fire too!“

“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.“

“Spectra Coffee has quickly become one of my favorite spots. The coffee is consistently good, smooth, and flavorful without being overdone. The space feels welcoming, and the staff are always kind and efficient. It’s the kind of place you can count on for a solid cup every time.“

“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.“

“This place was such a treat to experience! It was my first time visiting and I loved it! I ordered their brown sugar shaken espresso, which was a 10/10 in my book. I could taste the coffee in the drink, yet it wasn’t overwhelming. It’s perfect for those that actually enjoy the taste of coffee. The price isn’t bad at all either. The ambiance of the place is cute. They have comfy seating, a clean bathroom, lovely decor, and played music that fit the vibe.“

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

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

“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.“

“Absolutely amazing pho, super delicious and the beef was perfect too. So yummy and a large portion, super reasonable price! The mango smoothie with boba is also delicious. Very nice service, super fast and nice people. Loved it and want to come back!!“

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

“Breakfast Plate, Green Smoothie!“

“Best coffee ever! Open till 2pm“

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

“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!“

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

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

“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.“

“Yummmmy“

“They have delicious boba drinks.“

“Finally got around to trying this place, and I love it! I've been looking for a small business to replace Starbucks and Jamba. So far, I've loved everything I've ordered. Their smoothies taste fresh, natural, and delicious and manage to balance the different flavors really well. I personally love the Passion Paradise. Their ham and swiss croissant and meat pies are also amazing. Looking forward to trying their banh mi sandwiches next, along with more of their amazing pastries! Parking lot is huge, by the way, so you'll never have any issues there.“

“I live across the street and used to go here all the time when they first opened - just stopped by today for a coffee - got an Americano - Super Good Coffee!! Will go back and try the Persian Pizza“

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

“This place is awesome! Every visit here has been a treat. The staff is so friendly, and the vibe is incredibly welcoming with plenty of seating options both indoors and outside. It’s perfectly located right in the heart of Willow Glen, which makes it an easy stop anytime you’re out and about. Their coffee selection is top-notch, and the bakery items are just delicious! Perfect spot to fuel up before getting on with your day. Highly recommend stopping by—this place will definitely become your go-to!“

“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 😍“

“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.“

“A very nice place, the people who serve are very friendly, the donuts are fresh and delicious, I recommend them, and the person who prepares them is 10 unique, the owner is very friendly, she is far away from me, but they are worth going to.“

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

“So glad we finally got to try this place out! They have shave ice, smoothies, coffee, halo-halo & snacks too. The workers were very friendly and the place was clean. There was also some Hawaii merch for purchase. I can’t comment on the water service but the shave ice and iced coffee were devoured by my family! I had to take a star off because they do have weird hours. We will be back!“

“A great coffee shop stop for employees and visitors. Service is warm and welcoming, this is our routine stop every morning.

They have a great selection of classic hot and iced drinks with select pastries.

Highly recommend for anyone to check this place out if you are in Good Samaritan.“

“The food here is always delicious, fresh and well prepared and our visit this week was no exception. The service is especially terrific - extremely friendly, anticipated our needs and made sure we were comfortable. I've been coming here for so many years and hope to continue. It's always an experience my family and I look forward to.“

“What an awesome addition to the Rose Garden farmers market! I love trying new coffee combinations and flavors, and Hijau hits the spot. I ordered their Pandan Latte with oat milk, and my husband got the Jasmine Green Tea.The latte was perfectly balanced. Not too sweet, with a fruity, nutty flavor. I'd definitely order this again!The Jasmine Tea was so fragrant and smooth. You can tell it's a high quality tea.The service was also excellent. They were steadily busy but efficient and I didn't have to wait too long for my order. They are here rain or shine every Saturday so be sure to stop by and try it!

“We stopped by here to grab some donuts and breakfast sandwiches. We got custard filled chocolate glazed donut, raspberry jelly donut, roasted beef sandwich, and turkey and egg sandwich. The lady working the counter was very friendly and nice. She gave us free glazed donut. The donuts and croissant were very delicious… right amount of sweetness and good texture.

The place itself is quite run down with old faded exterior and interior. So good place for takeout.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes it is wheelchair accessible“

“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.“
