50 Best Coffee Shops in San Jose

“The place is big and has a great selection. We tried the banana latte and it was amazing!! Not sure if it’s seasonal but it was sooo goood!! The parking for this building can be limited so just expect that but it definitely worth it! I also tried one of their pastries and it was deeeelicious!!“

“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“

“High-end, quality coffee at a great price point. They use the best equipment. With the amount of detail and care these baristas put into every drink you can tell they really love what they do. Super friendly, great music, creative drink options with tons of flavor! Keep up the great work. Wish there were more coffee shops like Dr.ink out there.“

“Friday open mic is great way to end a hectic week.“

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

“Lovely coffee shop in downtown SJ across from the convention center - mocha & latte were tasty and just right.

Space fills up quick during the day, but enough people rotate that seating is available. A few tables/chairs available outside.

Just had Java this time, going to try their menu on our next visit.“

“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!“

“good coffee good service etc 😘“

“Awesome coffee and tea! Fast and Friendly service 💕❤️“

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

“Loving all the food and clean place“

“Egg coffee 10/10 , must try!“

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

“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!“

“Beautiful place. Got a green equity and a hazelnut cafe, both were very good. The robot is a catch. I really liked the vibe of the place. Great quality of those cups and the drinks and a really good place to sit around and also as a work hang.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Breakfast Plate, Green Smoothie!“

“Best coffee ever! Open till 2pm“

“Spectra is a cute little coffee shop that serves amazing espresso, drinks, food, and sweets. I always get the dir/tea with an extra shot and it always hits the spot. They offer creative seasonal drinks and other non-coffee beverages. Spectra also serves food like waffles and banh mi with a variety of meats, toppings, and flavors. Occasionally they have a baker drop off baked goods! Service is very friendly and fast even when the coffee shop is busy. The place is often crowded and because it's small it can be hard to get a seat. Luckily they also have outdoor seating. Overall this is probably the best place to get a treat and coffee in the plaza.“

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

“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!!“

“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!“

“Yummmmy“

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

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

“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!“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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 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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Very delicious food and nice place“

“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!

Dietary restrictions: Dairy free options - oat and coconut milk“

“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“

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