“Muy delicioso 😋 me gusta mucho“

“come with family and enjoy“

“The best cookies I’ve had in a while. I don’t have much of a sweet tooth but these are so so good! I love the new variety of flavors every week and how they’re so unique and different than the generic cookies you buy in the grocery store. The price isn’t too bad either! For a box of 6 cookies it’s $22 but the cookies are HUGE. I can never finish one by myself so I leave them to the rest of my family. Also pro tip download the crumble app so you can earn free rewards. 100 points equals to $10 you can use towards the cookies.“

“Andres gave us the best experience we could ever ask for. Fun, amazing food, good music, and elation. He made sure we were well taken care of the whole time and made us laugh so hard. Oh and we’re coming back for the guacamole for sure“

“We love Kadhai Kitchen, authentic india food, best in entire Bay Area. Taste is all that matters, and they remind of maa ke hath ka khana. 👌🏻“

“Food are delicious. especially their soup. friendly staff and clean restaurant“

“Mole pablano enchiladas were excellent.“

“Excellent, authentic, very tasty. Ida the owner and chef very attentive.. nice patio seating.. 5 easy stars“

“Had a fantastic brunch experience here! The food and drinks came out quickly, and the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive throughout the visit. The red chilaquiles with carnitas were a must-try—packed with flavor and absolutely delicious. The relaxed atmosphere made it the perfect place to enjoy a slow, comfortable meal. Great service, amazing food, and a welcoming vibe make this a spot I’d happily return to again.“

“I was really excited to visit this shop after watching their YouTube videos. You can clearly see how much passion they have for coffee and how committed they are to supporting the community, which is what made me want to come in.
I stopped by on a Monday to buy a bag of whole beans to brew at home. I asked for a recommendation and mentioned I was planning to do pour-overs. I was also trying to find something that was not fruity and leaned more bold, since I have had light, fruity coffees in the past that were not my preference.
I was recommended a Flower Child coffee, which turned out to be very light and fruit-forward. While it was not the right fit for my personal taste, it was clearly a high-quality coffee and I can see why someone who enjoys floral and fruity profiles would really love it.
I think this shop shines in the quality of their beans and the care they put into sourcing. For customers who are still learning coffee terminology, a bit more guidance or clearer labeling could make the experience even better.
Overall, this is a great spot with knowledgeable people and a strong mission, and I definitely plan on coming back. Now that I know more about how to describe what I like, I am excited to try something else next time.“

“Met a friend for drinks! Bartender was friendly and engaging! Atmosphere was energetic and their appetizer meatballs were amazing! Will definitely go back! ❤️“

“Great food, friendly atmosphere, clean and prompt service.“

“Its a good place. A little $expensive$ but not bad at all. My husband and I devoured the spicy beef pho and shaking beef. The beef was juicy and tender and the pho’s broth was so savoury and comforting. Would be coming back for the pho!“

“This was our first time trying Cali pizza, and we were not disappointed. The pizza was better than anything I have tried in San Jose. The gentlemen that helped me had such a great personality, and offered suggestions when navigating the Indian pizza choices. Medium spice level was perfect for me.
Let's all support this small business!“

“A must stop for banh mi when visiting San Jose. The line is almost always out the door, sometimes to the end of the building or longer. However, it moves fairly quick, as there's usually multiple cashiers taking orders. The longest wait is actually waiting for your completed order.

They're mostly famous for their banh mis, and sells them in two sizes, small and large. The small is convenient for people who can't finish a whole large by themselves. They also do sell a lot of other things in there, like nem, gio, xoi, etc. It's hard to go in there and not come out with a lot of things.“

“I love that this place is still here. Great bread, great sandwiches, I only wish it wasn’t “cash only”. At least they have an expensive ATM if you need cash in a pinch. This place is exactly how I remember the first time I visited back in the mid 90’s. Nice to have original places still around and preserved. Great comfortable outdoor patio too!“

“What can you say about In N Out burger. Best burgers 🍔 around.“

“Great fish and potato cakes today. Ordered snapper and was served on plate with fresh lemon. was crunchy and tasty. Clean and cool indoor area, with quick service. Recommend“

“TBH I was hesitant at first to eat at Acopia. As a vegan, most Mexican restaurants do not usually have options for me. Their menu is somewhat minimal and limited, so entered with few expectations or hopes that I could order anything more than a salad. However, I was pleasantly surprised! The owner came to our table and was most accommodating. I ordered a succulent nopales salad, street corn and some delicious blue corn sopes de calabasita (zucchini and flower). It was all quite tasty and I was even more surprised when she brought out some vegan mayo AND vegan cheese to top off my food with more flavor. The atmosphere is very modern and simply styled, mirroring their “chic” food menu. I found the food delicious though a bit on the bland side, but was grateful that they came through for me and my vegan diet. I left sated and happy that I could fully participate in the meal alongside my meat-eating friends. The owner was very thoughtful and really went out of her way to make sure I had plenty of choices to order. Although it was a bit pricey, I will definitely go back again. The modern ambiance, the attentive service and the fancy yet rustic food combined to make a lovely evening meal.“

“Visited over the weekend after running errands with my besties. Omni approved, we ordered so much! Ordered the Mapo Tofu Rice Set, with side dishes, Pan-fried Plant Based Chop Set, Avocado Rolls, I got the Happiness Over Rice - it was sweet and totally devoured it! I also ordered the Avocado smoothie, one of my favorites sometimes other places make it too watery. This one was fluffy and very tasty! For dessert we shared the Chocolate Tiramisú. Would totally return! Wonderful service too! Updated from previous review on 2026-04-06“

“Highly recommend, they will treat you right. Feels like Family.“

“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!“

“Reached House of Bagels around 10 AM on a weekend, and there was already a huge line outside the door—which definitely raised my expectations. Even though the line was long, it moved at a surprisingly good pace, and we were able to place our order in about 20 minutes.

We ordered:

* Two sausage, egg & cheese jalapeño bagel sandwiches
* One with tomato basil cream cheese
* One with jalapeño cream cheese
* A Double Dutch Mocha
* And a chai tea

The service was impressively fast because we got our entire order in less than 5 minutes.

They have a few outdoor tables, but since it was drizzling, we decided to take the food home instead.

The bagels themselves were soft, fresh, and nicely made. I personally wished the jalapeño bagel had a bit more jalapeño flavor compared to similar bagels I’ve had elsewhere, but overall the sandwich was very satisfying. The sausage, egg, and bagel ratio was spot on, making every bite balanced and filling.

The tomato basil cream cheese was absolutely delicious and added great flavor to the sandwich. The jalapeño cream cheese, however, was a bit disappointing and lacked the kick I expected.

Special mention for the Double Dutch Mocha—easily a 100/10. Rich, smooth, and honestly one of the best drinks from the meal. On the other hand, the chai tea was disappointing and tasted more like warm milk with a little cinnamon rather than actual chai.

Overall, it was still a really good experience, and I’d definitely go back to try more items from their menu.“

“dr.ink is such a hidden gem in the heart of downtown san jose, literally right across from san pedro sqaure market! the staff were super welcoming and genuinely took the time to recommend drinks based on what we liked. they also explained how each drink is crafted and what their specialties are, which made the experience feel way more personal and fun.

the atmosphere is cozy, calm, and perfect if you need a quiet study spot, want to get work done, or just catch up with friends over coffee. the drinks were amazing and you can tell they really care about quality here. definitely recommend checking this spot out if you’re in downtown sj!“

“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.“

“The first time here and it was wonderful. Kim and Kelly guided us through the process offering suggestions and samples along the way. Being able to try things is a great touch. Everything we sampled was delicious but we settled on the steak and chicken. Delicious will be back to this friendly restaurant.“

“there sandwich are delicious and yummy too“

“Awesome atmosphere!! Amazing employees!!“

“Everything was delicious! Will definitely be back“

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

“We recently tried Jennie’s Fast Pizza on De Anza Blvd, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish! It is always a win when the whole family enjoys the meal, but my daughter was absolutely thrilled with her pizza—she’s already asking when we can go back.
The crust was perfectly baked, the toppings were fresh, and the flavors were spot-on. It’s rare to find a spot that hits the mark for both adults and kids so consistently. If you’re looking for a quick, delicious, and family-friendly dinner option in San Jose, this is definitely the place to go.
Highly recommended—we will definitely be regulars!“

“I'm chanel kgirl gypsy finally found a location that I'm on my way too try I been looking for a place like this ever since I left Hawaii once u try shaved ice cream you can't get enough of it I'll let you guys know once I'm try and have me a cup of shaved ice cream“

“Excellent blues music👍Great Venue.“

“Love this place, they have the best fried tofu and service is fast!“

“Fruit Tea is amazing, the dirty tea is way too sweet“

“We really enjoyed our first trip to this charming small eatery in downtown San Jose. Tucked away on Post north of First St., without obvious signage, The Club can be hard to find, but is worth the search. The craft cocktails were creative, interesting, and delicious. The Kale salad was a large serving, with a tasty house made dressing and a variety of fresh ingredients. The Short Ribs are were tender moist and delicious, served over a small serving of parsnip purée. My seafood pasta was deliciously sauced with generous portions of shrimp and salmon, though a little more pasta would have been nice. Crème Brûlée was delicious. Prices are moderate, appropriate for quality. Service was friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful,. Decor is minimalist but tasteful. Overall very enjoyable, a good time was has by all!“

“First time eating here and it was a great experience! Staff was fun and seem to be enjoying themselves! GOOD FOOD!~“

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

“Starting off with the aesthetics of the place, it’s really modern with a clean minimalistic style, it also has a Mumu tea bar on the side and also a sauce bar to make your own sauces for the meats. 5/5 on the place itself

The food is also great. It’s has pretty reasonable prices as you are paying for quality meat and also lots of side dishes. Really good options for the soup bases, personally I love the tom yum soup base. It has a mix of sweet and a kick of spiciness with it. Additionally I got the iced matcha here too, it comes filled to the brim, the matcha is very smooth, creamy and not too sweet or too bitter with matcha. It has a really similar taste when I went to Korea for matcha. 5/5 on food and drinks.

Customer service is great here too, staff were very attentive with service such as checking up, water refills, adding more soup, getting the bill, etc. 5/5 on the service

Overall, if you haven’t tried this place, it’s definitely one of the top places to grab some hotpot. Great service and food here.“

“Goku Sushi is a real gem!! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming and the staff was attentive. We ordered a variety of rolls, and each one was a delight. The Mango roll was outstanding. The presentation of the food was also beautiful. We'll definitely be back! By the way, we came to the one on Blossom Hill !!“

“Loving all the food and clean place“
