50 Best Coffee Shops in San Jose

“su aroma , único q ka distingue“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

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

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

“Loving all the food and clean place“

“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 😍“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

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

“Yummmmy“

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

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

“Best coffee ever! Open till 2pm“

“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.“

“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.“

“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😀😆😎“

“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 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.“

“Egg coffee 10/10 , must try!“

“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 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.“

“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!“

“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“

“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.“

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

“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.🥰“

“I adore this bakery-it's my favorite bakery in town, and I take great pleasure in supporting small family-run businesses. I visit almost every week, and I always get their almond croissants; they are so flavorful and moist at the center! Their macarons, cheesecakes, and cakes are also exceptional. I loved their macarons so much that I placed a large order for my wedding!

Jonathan consistently greets me with warmth and friendliness and makes each visit a joy.

No week feels complete without indulging in their almond croissants, so I often call ahead and place an order as they tend to sell out quickly!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Have been many times. They have iced coffee, juices and smoothies. They will bring free iced tea also. You must buy one drink each, pay when you leave at the counter, and leave a tip on the table. They have many tv screens like a sports bar, but the main attraction is the very friendly waitresses. Bring lots of $5 bills for tips.“

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

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

“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.“
