Felt like home. The owners and works were very kind and the food was really good! I had a torta de papas with chorizo and I got a Mazapán latte and both were fantastic! Everything on the torta was homemade, really fresh, and really good! 10/10 really recommend. Also their pumpkin empanada was perfect amount of sweetness.

Solid spot for a quick lunch. They have a variety of baked goods and sandwiches which are pretty good for the price. Their BLT is particularly good since they put a generous amount of bacon in there, as well as a good amount of avocado. The store is decorated quite nicely and has a cozy and casual vibe. Service is quick and friendly as well. Definitely worth checking out.

The worst empanadas I've ever had. Dry cannot adequately describe the quality of the empanadas. The dough used on them is not empanada dough. We got 4 different ones. The filing on the pineapple was basically bright yellow dried goo that tasted nothing like pineapple. The churro cheesecake empanada just was a dry layer inside. The Apple wasn't any better.
We got a free concha which can only be described as biting into the sole of a sketchers foam shoe. It tasted ok but the texture was so off.

K&J Sweets and Bakery is a cute well-located café that’s perfect for a casual date or an afternoon snack. The space is bright with lots of natural light and is very clean. The service was warm and welcoming, and I loved the vibes!!! Especially the Latin pop music playing in the background, took me back to early 2000s. We tried a few items: the BLT sandwich was good, and my wife had the matcha lavender, which was good though not her favorite. I had the cucumber and lemon agua fresca, which was very refreshin, a highlight!!! For dessert, the concha was delicious, but the real standout was the pineapple empanadas!!! It was truly yummy!!! It’s also a big plus that it’s Latino-owned and just a short walk from SJSU, making it a great hangout spot for students and locals. Let’s keep supporting our small businesses and local entrepreneurs!!!

Their água frecas are all delicious! I also love the empanadas, especially the nutella and churro cheesecake. You can tell things are made fresh here. Staff are also kind and helpful.

The chocolate chip cookie was sooo good , I got a slice of guava cake and it was spongy and dry I wish I just got cookies. The customer service was amazing and it’s very aesthetically pleasing inside.

If you're looking to support a small-business or a Latina-owned business that has yummy treats and exceptional customer service, this is the spot for you!! Elvira, the owner, is incredibly sweet and is genuinely interested in supporting local organizations and causes. K&J catered for a large youth event at my workplace, and I could not have asked for a better food provider. Her husband delivered the food and set it up, and she rolled with the punches when I had to make an edit to my order day of. She was flexible and still friendly. We will definitely look for opportunities to continue to work with her and her team.

Definitely one of the more welcoming nicer cozier more comfortable spots in the aggressive and often unwelcoming downtown San Jose. tres leches cake is my favorite

Family owned and ran. Great aesthetic. Sweetest people ever. Sweetest smell ever when entering the shop. They have everything you would want in a bakery. Every empinada flavor you can think, fluffy cakes with handmade fruit coatings, cookies that are perfectly textured and fun! The espresso options are superb as well. Thank you for the dirty chai! They were also so kind in not rushing us and talking to customers like actual people. We felt like part of the community instantly. Thank you!

I love the place and the dessert and the drinks. They have a cute background for the holidays or just a background of their logo. Go support them and they are supporting the community of San Jose.

Got a variety of cupcakes for Christmas. The cupcakes & frosting were not too sweet. Will definitely try something else.
