Coffee was delicious. Staff was nice. The place was popping though it was only 9 am. People seems to like this place a lot. However, there is not enough tables and chairs.

The best cafe you can find in San Jose. I love their butter croissants and wide variety of coffee choices. They’ve got coffee for every mood and color. The vibe of this place totally cool and aesthetic. The staffs are extremely friendly except a thin girl who shows attitude. Although I love their music choices, sometimes it’s jarring and displeasingly loud to working community members of the cafe customers. My fav spot is the cozy aesthetic yellow chair upstairs. Sitting back on it with legs crossed and chilling with a cup of coffee is divinity!

The croissants and waffles are around $10 and coffees start at $6 with tax. Located around the SJAU campus you will find a lot of student community and an ideal place to cozy up your work from home or assignments.

Vegetarian options: There are vegan cakes available. Plant based milk choices available

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible until the lower level

I love Nirvana Soul. They always have great staff and coffee. They are involved in the community and I fully recommend their coffee/food to anyone in the area. I visit them at least once a week.

Now to the City of San Jose.. GIVE THEM MORE PARKING! The city is unfairly blocking part of the street from being used by NS’s customers… why? They painted the small, free parking curb grey (which apparently means no parking or you’ll be ticketed). Parking in that area is already hard enough. Why not provide this small business with more parking for their customers (as it sits now there are 5 or 6 spots for that whole end of the street). It’s shameful that this small business isn’t being supported to the fullest since it’s one of the few businesses on that end of the street that brings about actual foot traffic.

Cute coffee shop playing good music. Dom, the barista was sooo friendly and welcoming! I got the Dirty Diana - which has beet in it. I thought it was going to be weird but it was really good! Highly recommend!

Give a shout out to my sister at Nirvana. I love the atmosphere. It was absolutely wonderful. We had a scavenger hunt birthday party for my granddaughter and while we weren’t able to go into the second location because there are two downtown one in the Martin Luther King library and the other on first Street San Carlos, but it was the help was absolutely fantastic. We able to use the first store at the MLK as one of our clues and it worked perfectly. Thank you for making my granddaughters birthday special!

The order was made to make coffee in mugs but was made in paper cups. I asked for new one to be made but it was poured from the paper cup into the mug. I had ordered large drinks but the mugs were much smaller than the large size.

Did not heat my croissant, it was stale and cold. Service was not friendly. Kicked me out from upstairs when it was open, claimed that they needed to clean, but were just open. will not be coming back.
